To all Concerned.

We would caai the attention of some of our
Subscribers, and especially certain Post Mas
ters, to the following reasonable, and well SET
lied rules of Law in relation to publishers, TO
The patrons of newspapers.
THE LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.
L. Subscribers who do no, give e1press no
tice TO The contrary, are considered as wishing
10 continue their subscriptions.
2. If subscribers order the disconiinuance of
their papers, the publishers may continue to
send them ,ii all a.rearages are paid.
3. IL subscribers neglect or refuse 20 lake
their papers from the offices 10 which they are
directed, they are held responsible ill they
have settled their bill. and ordered heir papers
discontinued
T. Ii subscribers remove to other places with
Ou informing the publishers, and their paper is
sen, 10 the former direction, they are held re-
sponsible.
s. The courts have decided tha, refusing TO
take newspaper or periodical from the office,
or removing and leaving il uncalled for, is 'pri-
ma facie" evidence of Intentional fraud.

Yankee Doodle.

A late number of the Knickerbocker contains
some amusing adventures Of Yankee Doodle.
The following is pretty fair illustration of the
adventurous and wandering character of the
hardy sons Of New England. Speaking of The
wonderful ubiquity of the true Yankee, the wri-
ter says:
1t is harder than Chinese puzzle to put
your finger on Bit of territory, disputed or un-
disputed, where The Yankee Doodle is not. If
you 60 TO Lands End, he is there; TO Mount
Arara', he is there; to Chimborazo, Hymalaya,
line Mountain Of the Moon. or the Pyramid of
CheoPs, he Is there any where, in fine, where
an ark, dove, camel, a snake can arrive, by
their several faculties; bariering. and scratch
ing his name on trees, stones, and African
slaves. He knows the whole map of the an
Glen, dominions of Prester John, and every
nook and corner of Mozambique, and he is hand
in-glove with all the savages in The world. He
has been 10 lchaboe until he has scraped it
perfectly clean and if your English trader has
discovered new bank of Guano, and is getting
ready to fire gun or two and take possession
of it in the name of her Majesty, imagine his
concernment to discover dozen Of these fel-
lows twenty feet deep in a Guano cavern,
scooping it out with their fingers, and Bangor
schooner bouncing up and down in little cove
like duck among burushes. Now if you
walk on the sea shore at Bildaraxa, you will
find Iha, you are not the first there, perhaps 10
your great sorrow as Capt. Jix swore violent.
Iy, when in walking through The streets Of Sun.
down. at the very limits Of the dominions o
Prince Pompadelo in Africa, he heard sharp
whistler going through the tune Of Yankee
Doodle" with all easy execution, and devlllst
unconcern, which threw him at once into g
coast fever. And jus, so it was with the pool
soul who discovered Bimpaz, and was just un
corking boule of Madeira in commemoraiior
of the event, when he saw a Yankee on hill
side, administering the cold water pledge tt
three natives.

SOciaiity.

Let us never think days study done. unless
we have added TO our knowledge from reading,
something more from society and conversation.
Our nature is social and much seclu-lon from
the world is unhealthy for mind aud heart. A
famous scholar recommends companion even
In study, that each may assist the other with
his peculiar gifts or a'Ialnmen's, and because of
the stimulus which mind receives from mind
when brought into contact. We know, by ex-
perience, that TO talk over a subject with
sbe friend is a sure way. not only To acquire
ideas from him, but TO call them up from our
own resources. The impulse follows US back
10 our desks, and we sci ourselves again ,o
work. as cheerfully as We would To pleasant
food after a long walk in an agreeable country.
But we should not confine ourselves TO literary
associates The conversation of intelligent wo
men, if you can find any not too much afraid OF
being thought "blue stockings" 10 talk, is emI-
nen,y instructive. They have delicncy of
tact, truth of feeling, and direct philosophy
of their own, pas, our finding out, which the
mos, profound thinker may listen TO and learn.
The natural outworking of iule child's mind
is an excellent metaphysical study. So, often.
are the rough-hewn ideas Of uneduc ated people.
From The most ignorant you may extract some
thing. Their crude reasonings, unsOphisIica-
ted emotions, and even their prejudices and sn.
perstitions, will not seldom supply link want
ing from your own chain, or if they do TO more,
should make us thankful for being better taught.

VALUABLE ANIMAL.---A trusty house dog Is

then went TO bed with the other children up
stairs. Soon after The fire communicated with
the wood, and faithful spaniel seeing it, went
to the room where the boys were, three times
barking and bowling, before he succeeded IN

KnowIedge aud Observations.

The Maine Farmer relates an instance show
ing the value of knowledge and observation. A
young man from Boston, who had employed hIs
leisure hours in studying geology and chemis-
Try, was travelling through the stale, soliciting
subscriptions for a newspaper, and passing thro'
the town of Newton, he saw pile of bricks,
which, from their peculiar color. attracted his
attention. He examined one OF ihem-enquirsd
from whence the clay was taken of which they
were made-learnt the fact-tound out the ex-
tent of the clay bed-came to the conclusion,
that il was mine of wealih--proposed to pur
chase the farm finally succeeded in effecting
purchase, al fifteen hundred dolars-had the
writings made--wen to Boston, and there SOLD
two acres of the farm which contained ihe
"MetaIic Lustre" for four thousand dollars.

L Love the Ladies.---Every One.

BY JAMES sTILLMAN.
love the ladies, every one
The laughing ripe brunuite---
Those dark-eyed daughters Of the sun,
With tresses black as jet.
What rap'ures in their glances glow,
Rich rinis their cheeks disclose,
And in The liule dimpIes there,
Young smiling Loves repose.
love The ladies, every one
The blonde so soft and fair
With looks so mild and languishing,
And bright and golden hair;
How lovely are their sylph-like forms,
Their aIabas,er hue,
And their bushes far more beautiful
Than rose buds baihed in dew
love lhe ladies', every one---
Zen those whose graceless forms
Are rugged as The oak that's borne
A hundred winters siorms--
The young, the old. the stout, the Thin,
The short as well as tall,
Widows and wives, mairons and maids,
O, yes, love them all.
love the ladies', every one
None but wretch would hOui 'em---
This world would be lonely place
Ii we were left without 'em;
Bul lighted by woman's smile,
Away its gloom is driven,
And the most humble home appears
Almost little heaven.
love the ladies, every one--.
They're angels all, God bless 'em!
Aud what can greater pleasure give,
Than to comfort and caress 'em!
! call myself temperance man,
So I'll drink their health in water---
Here's to the mothers, one and all,
And every mothers daughter.

The Wild Cattle of Texas.

The Houston Telegraph publishes The fol-
of that state:
The settlers who have recently opened farms
near The sources of the San Gabriel and Brus-
ley, find the country well stocked with sim
gular breed Of wild calle. Large droves of
these canle are found moi only on the San Ga.
brel. Leona, and other tributaries of Little Riv-
CT, but also on the San Saba, The Llano, and
many tributaries of the Upper Colorado far
above the settlements. They differ in form,
color and habits from all The varieties of domes-
tic caule in Texas They are invariably of a
dark brown color. with slight rnge of dusky
yellow on the Zip of the nose and The belly
Their horns are remarkably large, and stand
oul straight from the head Although these
cattle are generally much larger than The do
mesllc caule, they are more feet and nimble,
and when pursued, often outsirip horses that
easily ourrun the buffalo they seldom venture
far Out into the prarles. but are generally found
in or neaS the forests that skirt the streams in
that section. Their meat is of an excellen, fla
vor. and is preferred by The settlers to the me at
of the domestic cattle. Ii is said that their fat
is SO hard and compact that it will not melt in
The hoes, days Of Summer; and the candles
formed with il are far superior 10 those that are
formed with The iallow of other cattle.
Some persons have supposed that i, is poss-
Bile these cattle are distinct race, Indigenous
TO America; and the immense skeletons of the
fossil OK, with straight horns, lha, are often
found in the beds Of The Brazos and Colorado,
would seem to strengthen this opinion. But as
these caue are now found only in the vicinity
of the old Missions, i, is much more probable
that they are the descendants of the cattle in.
lroduced by the early Spanish advenlurers. Ii
is said that a species of wild cattle, differing
from all the domestic breeds of the Eastern
continent, is found in the Sandwich Islands; but
from the domestic cattle tha, were left on those
Islands by Vancouver. These cattle are sc

trapping them in disguised pits. The celebra

Waste not thy Grief.

and his Tears fell fast and often. As he raised
his humble eyes to Heaven, he cried:
MY brother oh, my brother
A sage passed that way and said, For who"
dost thou mourn!'
'One,' replied he, whom did not sufficient
ly love whilst living, but whose inesilnable
worth now feel
What would'st thou do if he were restored
to thee 2
The mourner replied, that he would never
offend him by an unkind word. but would .ake
eyery occasion to show him friendship IL he's
could but come back to his fond embrace
Then waste not thy time in useless grief,
said the sage, 'bu. if thou hast friends 60 and
