THE LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.
1. Subscribers who do not fire expresnotire

2. If subscribers order tht; discontinuance of
tlieir papers, the publisher may continue to send
them until all arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their papers from the office to which they are
directed, thov are held responsible until they
hare settled the bill and ordered the paper dis
ontinned. 4. If subscribers remove to other places with
ut informing the publisher, and the paper is
sent to the former direction, they tre held re
Sponsible. 3. The CottaTs have derided that refnsins; tn
take a paper from the nfTice, or removing and

And coldly turned away 1

The Knickerbocker Gallery, the first
Rift book of the senson, is to be published
to-day. This book, as I suppose you are
vare consists of original articles bye
large number of distinguished American
writers; and is fo be embellished wi'h the
portrait of forty of the contributors. It
is one of the most ingenious dodges in the
benefit way that I remember to have heard
of, and does honor to the cuteness of
brother Chirk, who I believe is a Yankee
from the Granite Slate.
The proceeds are to be expended in the
purchase of a farm for the Editoi of Ihe
Knickerbocker, and the way in which he
has tickled up the literntti and roped them
into that scheme, is really masterly. The
volume will, however, be a gem, and well
worth the price five dollurs. Next to Bar

hit of (he season.

probably be sent up to the Court or Ap

PoLTr.AMY DEIIXDrD BY A MoRMO
Kldi r. The Cleveland Plain Dealer has
a letter fr.ra James McKuight, a Mormon
Elder; with two wives, in which he de
fends polygamy, and says
'Our young ladies, accomplished and
beautiful, often choose a man with en, or
twenty wives in preference to an attrac
tive young gentleman who has nut one;
thus showing their good taste, and regird
for r.ge and experience. If one of your
most polite, fashionable, and fascinating
young gentlemen should come here, he
would find it very difficult to get a wife,
and if he succeeded at all, she would in
all probability be. one whom our gray
lu il and infirm old men would refuse."
He also con'emls that their is more hu
manity unions; the Mormons in the
family of a man who has ten wives, than
in the mass of families else-where, where
one wife presides mistress of the house,
husband and children. This is attributed
io the fact, that in the Mormon belief
' the husband is the head of the wife
and her Lord and Saviour, and unless she
is obedient and submissive to him, she
cannot be saved." lie says further:
" There are instances of from six to ten
wives habiting one dwelling, and living
amicably ; though for the most part each
wife has her own house, and rules her
children. The children ure under the
mother's cure until ther arrive ut maturity,
or a4, un oge when the father needs their
services."
There is more of the same vulg.ir pre
tensions and degrading sophistry with
which these miserable polygamists at
tempt to excuse themselves, und commend
their salacious theories to the world.
(lowers ito.i a Mother's Gravf.
Four motherless little children ! Who
can think of tiiem without a saddened
heart ' Ti ne, they su e too young to know
how great is their loss ; but uh ! now.
Who will talk to them of Jesus? Who w ill
tench them to lisp his name ? Who will
teuch tin in to be Christians early ? The
father's business calls him uwny during
thtir waking fours. When lie pomes
home, sleep hangg heavy upon their eye
lids. . Ho on pray tcr thorn, end i0in
timos wiili them. But, uh I a mother's
cure und influence ure buried with her in
the grave.
Not long since there were f- ir such
little ones. Their mother had been bourne
to the sunny hind of flowers, that she
might catch again the bloom that had faded
from her check. Hut it came not ami
there unong strangers she died. Hcrsoul
went to ths! spirit land, and her body was
brought to rest amot.g its kindred. Two
of the little ones went to the tomb, with
those who bore their mother's precious
form. As ihey tMisscd the gruve, and
looked down deep into it, each one cast
some ilowers upon the coffin lid. It was
a.swect sight a pretty tribute to the mem
ory of a mother all they could do now to
tell of tlieir deep affection.
Young readers, does your mother still
live? How should jou cherish her af
fections and treasure her words H She
may tlie. men jou wilt loci that you
have never done enough for her; never
obeyed her us you ought; never loved her
half enough. Try to be more earnest in
your attentions towards her. Then, should
you come to cast flowers into her tomb
no tears of regret w ill f.dl upon them.

having been very sucec.f nl at S.m Fran

however, w'icn, by an unfurl un ile invest

event came upon him, it should be udded,
just as he was about to claim his bride
What docs he dj? Why like an honora
ble and ciiivalaro.is young fellow as he is
he sits down and writes the young lady
every particular of the unVappy t-n
which has taken place in his fortunes, as
suring her that if the fact produced any
change in her feeling towards him, she
's released from every paotnisc she has
made him. And what docs the dear good
girl do ? Why, she takes a lump of pure
gold, her lover had sent her in his pros
perity us a kerpsake. and having it manu
factured into a ring, forwards it to him,
with the following Bible inscription en
graved in distinct characters on the out
side :
" Entreat me not to leave thee, or to re
turn from following after thee; for wither
thou gocst will I go, and whither thou
lo'lgcst wiil I !o Ige; thy people will be my
people, and thy God my God; where thou
diest will I die; ui.d there w ill I be btried;
the Lord do so to me, and more also, if
aught but death part me und tJiee.''
The lover idolized his sweetheart more
than ever, wheu lie received this precious
evidence of her devotion to him both in
storm and sunshine; we muy add, that for

sician, and that he subscuucutlv returned

Unrler this head the Cleveland Her dd
make some excellent suggestions which
suits this latitude as well as Ohio.
' The iong wjntcr evcai.-.gs are coa.ng .
and the young men of our city should
think how they can best improve their
Lime.
"The apprentice and the mechanic, the
clerk and laborer, have many evenings 'nil
to themselves. How will they pass them?
In reading, in study, in cultivating the
mental and the social faculties, in acquiring
knowledge of history and of the world, Oi
in rounds of dissipation and idleness?
"The young men of our oity of to-day
are to give character and directions to our
city hereafter. . They are then to cooKrwi
its desiiny, and it is important that they
should early lay strong and deep th.
foundations of mental and of moral worth.
''The intelligent man, who has integri
ty of life, bus an ever present introduc
tion to the better part of society. It mat
tsrs not what bis vocation, if it be useful, '
necessary labor, he is respected. Elihu
Burritt at the anvil, had the respect" and
esteem of all his neighbors, beoeuse of -his
virtue and intelligence. If a man is
not respected it is because he does not de
serve and is not entitled to respect.
"It is not wealth which commends
man to the community. A good name, in- -telligence,
integrity, industry, are capital
for any younz man. All can invest in
this kind of stock, and it ever yields large
dividends,
'There is no way in which our young
mechanics can better pass their time dur- '
ing the winter evenings than in attending
lectures, and reading history, biography,
(ravels, &.c. There is no reason why the .
man who swing the hammer, shoves the
plane, draws the thread, or works in iron,
should nut be as well educated as the pro -fesbional
man in ell the; departmeuls of,
learning, outside of hi profession. - ,
"Let young men sec W it that their
minds are cultivated with the greatest care.
There are a thousand' field of.' useful ; la.
lor in which the intelligent ever have the
preference."
