The Editor of the Pawtucket Chronicle issues ten commandments, calculated for the meridian of Yankee land. He has our thanks for the hint, and as they are also adapted to the meridian of Arkansas, we copy them, and setting our hand to them, having made one alteration, we hereby or der them to be observed through all our domain.

 THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.

 |. Thou shalt subscribe for tic paper printed in thine own Territory.

 ?. Thou shalt not take newspaper with out paying the subscription money punetu- ally: for printers are a race of men, deser- vine to be fed with the fat of the land, and 10 have their purses filled with the riches of. the eafih--T Though they seldom get either.

 8. 4Hoa shah not steal oiotlte1's articles end publish tbem as ttime olcn.

 1. Thou shalt not write maniac prose or insane rhyme and expect thy vile etlusions to be published as the outpounngs of youth ful genius.

 ,. Remember the adverfisements, and < tho printer blessed with the fitness thereof.

 6. Thou shalt not borrow thy neighbours newspaper nor any thing else that is his, but go to him that hath to sell, and buy for thy- sele

 '. Thou shalt not fly into passion when thy mlk-and-water communications, and thy compilation of stolen thoughts are re- jected by the editor.

 8. Honor thy contemporaries of the type and quill, and set always a good example before thy brothers eyes. 9. Remember the iadies-and beware. For if thou presumptuously prevail on them to marry, the Clerk of the court shall issue licence, and thou shalt be brought unto the altar; and there be made to exchange thy state of single blessedness, for one of doub- le dolefulness; and thenceiorth have no more peace.

 10. Beware of meddlers and double-faced politicians, of sea serpents and common scoIds. "Eyil communications corrupt good manners"
