THE PHILosoPHY AND BEAUTY OF MANNERS.
Manners are the garments of the sprit-the
eternal clothing of the being, in which char
ater ultmates itself If the character be
simple and sincere, the manners will be at
once with twill be the natural outbirth of
its traits and peculiarities. If it be complex
and selfseeking, the manners will he artificial,
affected or nsincere. Some persons make
up, put on, take off, alter or patch their man
ners to suit times and seasons, with as much
facility, and as little apparent consciousness
of duplicity, as if they were treating their
clothes in like fashion. The fine lady Of this
class may be polished to the last degree, when
arrayed in silks and laces, she glides over the
rich carpets of the drawing room and yet,
with her servants at home, she is possibly less
the lady than they or, worse still, the fine
lady, married. perhaps, to fine gentleman of
a character similar to her own, in the privacy
of domestic life carries on civil war with
him, in which all restraint of courtesy is set
aside. The best manners possible are the
simple bringing down of the perfect law of
charity into the most external ultmates OF
social life Until character tends at all times
and in all places, and towards all persons, to
ultimate itself in manners of thorough cour-
tesy, it is not building itself upon a sure
foundation. This is the golden rule of true
manners.

lFrom the Calaveras Chronicle.l
II Can't Reach the Brake.",
THE last words of George Gordon.1

Over the road Of life we are going
Journeyng onward from youth to old age
Less and still less the distance is growing,
As swiftly we ride in lfes hast'ning stage
Coursers of youth impetuously rushing,
Whisk us along in whirl of delight.
Rattlng and rolling, each fear in us hushine:
The whip freely used the rens are not tight
Over the plains with wild shout of gladness.
Quickly we speed the journey to make
No downhill of sorrow, no uphill of sadness
We think not, we heed not to care for the brake.
Over the road of life we are toiling,
Journeying onward from youth to old age
Slippery paths and dangers are foiling
Our rapid advances in life's second stage;
Slowly, the toilsome hills we're ascending,
Painting and breathless our coursers are tired
Huge rocks above us, threatening, impending
Deep gullies below us, our wheels too are mired,
Over the mountains our mission pursuing,
Ardently still our journey we take.
Coward" our motto, our watchword, " Be dong;"
Little we think or care for the brake.
Over the road Of life we are flying
Journeyng onward, we've reached old age
Scenes of the past from the highway are dying
We look forward at last to the close of our stage
Onward and downward the hill of life gliding,
Hast'ning on with small power 10 guide,
Down to the valley now slipping, now sliding
Oh perilous now and fearful the ride.
'Tis then the stage we fain would be staying,
'Tis then that the effort to stop we would make,
But our driver is Time, who knows no delaying,
And tho vainly we strive, we can't reach the
brake HERBERT.

JACKSON, May 4th, 1858.

EDS. LEDGER:-With your permission, l
am determined to break silence once more
and resume my remarks upon the rights of
settlers in this county.
In former letter. took occasion to al
ude to the zig-zag survey of Andreas Pico.
AT present it is my purpose to give it a more
thorough examination. 1t will be remem-
bered the tract of land granted to Teodocio
Yorva, of whom Pico claims title, was des.
cribed as follows, to wit: On the north by
the Cosmenos river, on the south by the Mo-
quelumes river, on the west by the Sacramen-
to river, on the east by the neighboring Sier-
ras and containing eleven leagues. How
has this tract been surveyed? An answer
from me is unnecessary. All are acquainted
with its meandering form. How should it
have been surveyed? This is the question
When the territory of this State passed to
the United States the right to control the
survey of the same, also passed The highest
tribunal in the land has declared this doctrine.
Locations of land claims are to be made ac-
cording to the laws of the United States.
How do they direct them to be done? Why
claims are to be surveyed with reference to
lines running at right angles with the cardi-
nal points of the compass, where the tract is
not marked out by metes and bounds which
are sufficiently certain as to control the sur
vey. But when tract is described in a
grant by natural and artificial boundaries,
or even some of them are not certain, the
artificial boundaries govern in locating the
quantity of land called for in the grant
Now this is just the case of Pico's claim.
The respective rivers are natural boundaries
and certain. The neighborng Sierras is a
natural boundary but is not certain. The
Sacramento road is an artificial boundary
Then the survey ought to be made by COM
mencing at a point where the road crosses
one of those streams, and running thence
along the road to the other stream, then up
that stream to some point running from
which on direct line to the other stream
would include the number of leagues called
for in the grant. This is undoubtedly the
result of the civil law The civil law was in
force at the time this grant was made. But
suppose this was not the case under the civil
law, yet it would be so, and is so, by .he
common and statute law of the United States
The Supreme Court says in the Fremont case
that the Government has a right to make
and control the survey of all land claims
This is power inherent in the government.
And it is no objection that the manner Of
survey above described would throw the tract
of land into au oblong form. This is the
law as laid down by the Supreme Court of
the United States. Where would such q
survey fix this claim of Andreas Pico? Why
it would place it fifteen or sixteen miles be-
yond lone and jackson Valleys. And there
is way to put it there. All that is wanted
to do so is to institute proceedings against
him for that purpose, and prosecute vigor.
ously. The remedy would be a writ oi
careat brought on the equity side of the
United States District Court. But to do this
means and attention is an indispensable requi
site. CADMUs.

PROPER PARTY SPIRIr-An Ohio cores
pondent of Harpers Magazinc for April, tells
the following excellent joke, illustrative of
Jealous party spirit:
Governor Chase issued bis proclamation
appointing thanksgiving day. 10 make
sure Of being right on the subject in hand,
the Governor composed his proclamation, al
most exclusively, of passages from the Bible,
which he did not designate as quotations,
presuming that every one would recognize
them, and admire the fitness of the words as
well as his taste Of their selection. A learn
ed editor of Democratic paper (the Gov
ernor is on the other side) pounced upon the
oclamation-declared that he had reau it
before-couldn't exactly say where-but he
would take his oath that it was downright
plagiarism from the beginning to the end =
That would have been joke enough, for a
while, at least, and perhaps longer; but the
next day the Republican paper came out
violently in defense of the Governor, pro-
nounced the charge false and libelous, and
challenged any man living to produce one
single line of the proclamation that had ever
been in print before.

Richard Hoffman.
A TALE OF LOVE AND RErRIBUTIoN.

Rachel Bently, the lovely daughter of
one of the richest merchants of London.
having married George Hoffman, one of
her fathers clerks during the old mans
absence in India, he on his return disin-
herited her and discharged George The
latter being overwhelmed by disappoint-
ment, took to drink. and in few years
became a habitual drunkard his wife
supporting herself and two children
Richard, now fine boy in his thirteenth
year, and Mary, sweet child of six-by
selling, one after another, the remnants of
her once costly wardrobe and jewelry.
On the last day of December of the
year in which our story opens, Rachel
was without food, light or fire, and that
very day the rent must be paid.
Little Mary was moaning for bread and
crying with cold.
The drunken father was at the dram
shop.
The agonized mother had but one more
article Of value left-a locket containing
| a lock of her fathers hair. She had
hoped TO be able to save this, the last me-
mento of her once happy home. But
goaded by little Marys cries for food she
/ seized the locket, rushed to pawnbrok-
er's, obtained few shillings, but by the
amount of the rent and with the rest pur-
chased little bread and milk for her
children, and then set out, with them, to
visit the old confidential clerk of her faith
er, Peter Mangles, who had ever been
kind to her, to consult him about sending
Richard away from the concentrating in
fiuencss with which he was surrounded.
On returning home late on New-Year's
eve from her fruitless visit, for the old
clerk was not at home, Rachel discovered
that her husband had been home and sto-
len the sum she had put by for the rent
from the place where she had concealed it
and gone off again to "The Crown and
Magpie " tavern to waste it in drunken
ness. Little Msry, chilled and hungry
began to cry for food, and the suffering
mother, in hopes Of regaining portion o
the money taken by her husband, set ou
with her children to the haunt of vic
