How a Quaker Collected a Debt,
Near iha close of (lie lasi century, a Qua
ker, knight of ilie shears and thimble, who'
exercised his avocation in Philadelphia, wasi
impraed upon by an adroit scoundrel, who;
contrived to get a suit of clothes on credit,
and afterwards eloped without paying. The
Quaker was too poor to lose the debt, but
like too many others of his cloth, he bad
apparently no other alternative. The ac
count was placed on bin books and eooo for*
gr ten.
Some years afterward, he was examining
his old record of debt and credit, profit and
loss, when his attention wns attracted to this
account, and all the circumstances attending
it came fresh to his mind. Snddenly an odd
thought suggested itself to him.'
“I’ll try an experiment,’* said he to him
self, “ perhaps I may succeed in catching the
rogue and gelling my pay.”
He immediately prepared an advertisement
in substan'e ns follows, which he inserted in
ti.e Philadelph a Gazette :
“ If J C ,who was in Phila
delphia about the month of , in the year
1795, wllf send his address to the editor of
(bis paper, he will hear something to advan
tage. Papers in neighboring Stales are re
quested to enpy.”
The 1 laller clause was inserted from a
vague suspicion that the rogue had mken up
his abode in New York. Having instructed
the editor not to disclose his name to the
rogue if he should call, but to request the
laller to leave his address, the Quaker pati
ently awaited the result of h'is experiment. —
In a short time he was informed by a note
from the editor that the individual alluded to
in the advertisement, having arrived from
New York, might be found at a given place
in the city. The tailor lost no lime-do pre
paring a transcript of his account, not for
getting interest from the lime the debt was
contracted. Taking a constable with him,
who bore a legal process suited to the occa
sion, he soon arrived at the lodgings of the
swindler. The Quaker now rang the bell,
and when the servant appeared, requested
him to inform the gentleman of whom be
was in search, that a friend wished to speak
with him at the door. The man obeyed
the summons, and soon both debtor and
creditor were looking each other in tho face.
“ Htw dost thou do?” kindly asked the
Quaker. “Perhaps thou dost not know me.”
“1 believe I have not had the pleasure of
your acquaintance,” coolly but politely an
swered our hero.
"Dost thou remember purchasing a suit of
clothes several years ago of a poor tailor
and forgetting to pay for them ?’• asked the
Quaker.
“Oh, no,” said the gentleman, blushing
slightly, “you must be mistaken in the per
son. It cannot be me that you wish to find.”
“Oh, John ! I know thee very well. Thou
hast on at this very moment tho waistcoat I
mado for thee. Thou must acknowledge it
was of good stuff and well made, or it could
not have lasted thee so long.”
“Oh, yes,’’ said the gentleman, appearing
suddenly to collect himself; “I do remember
the circumstances to which you allude. Yes
yes—l had in'ended to call and settle that
bill before leaving Philadelphia, and you may
depend on my doing so. 1 have come here
to lake possession of a large amount of prop
erty which has fallen to me by will. See,
here is the advertisement that apprised me of
my good fortune.”
Mere he handed the Quaker a New-York
paper containing a copy of the advertisement
the history of which we have given above.
The Quaker looked at him with impermeable
gravity, and said :
“Yes, I see thou art in luck ; but as my
demanjf is a small one, [ think I must insist
on its payment before thou comest into pos
session of thy large estate.”
The proper signal here brought the cons
table into the presence of the parlies. The
swindler was particularly astonished at the
appearance of that functionary, who imme
diately began to execute his part of the dra
ma.
“What 1” exclaimed tho rogue in an angry
lone, “you surely have not sued me I”
“Yes, I have,” replied the Quaker, “and
thou shouldsl be thankful that nothing worse
has happened to thee.”
“Come into my house,” said the debtor,
finding himself fairly caught; “come in, and
I will pay you if I must.”'
The three went into the house together,
and the slippery gentleman, after having as
certained the amount of the bill, paid it in
full.
The tailor, having signed the receipt, plac
ed it in the hands pf tho Ute debtor. The
swindler then for the first lime glanced at the
items of which it was composed. He said
nothing until he came to the last charge,
which was for ‘advertising,’ when he broke
forth—
“Halloo! what's this? for ‘advertising?'
That’s an odd charge for a tailor’s bill. You
are cheating me!”
“Oh, no,’’ crtolly replied the Quaker; —
“that is all fight. I have charged you the
cost of publishing the advertisement you just
showed me.”
Here the swindler uttered a horrid oath as
be exclaimed—
"Do you mean to tell me that you caused
the publication of that advertisement V'
“Truly I did,” replied the Quaker, with
provoking coolness.
“Then you told me a lie in it,” quickly
retorted the rogue.
“Convince me of that,” said the Quaker,
"and thou will find me ready to confess the
fault.”
"You said I should find something to my
advantage if I would come here.”
“Thou art mistaken," responded the tailor j
"I only promised that you should ‘hear some
thing to advantage,’ arid is it not to the ad
vantage of the poor tailor to collect an old
defat ?”
“If I catch'you in the street,” said the
man, with an oath, and to the deepest rage,
“I will give you such a cowhiding as will not
leave a breath in your body.”
“Nonsense, now/ said the Quaker? "if
thou really intendest to do anything of the
sort, we bad better step out into the back
yard, and finish tho business at once,”
the coolness of ihejQuAer.

“Now,” said the Quaker, gdod-ndturedly,
“let me give theeapiecopf advice. . When
next thou hast a suit of clothes,
thdu hadat beltCrVndl- aft tempt to cheat the
poor tailor, but pay him honestly, for them

PATRICK EtfeNßYl
The English Church hiving been ’estab
lishcd by laiv'in Virginia, became, as all'such
establishments are wont lo do, exceedingly
intolerant towards other sects. In prosecu
tion of this system of conversion, ihreb'Dap
list clergymen hud been indicted, at Fred
ericksburg,Tor preaching the Gospel of the
Sod of God contrary to the smtuie, Henry,
healing of this, rode some fifty miles to vol
unteer his services in defence of the oppres
sed. He entered the court, being unknown
to ail present save the bench and the bar,
while the indictment was read by the clerk.
He sat within the bar until the reading was
finished, and the King’s attorney had con
cluded some remarks in,defence of the pros
ecution, when he arose, reached out his hand
for the paper, and, without more ceremony,
proceeded with the fallowing speech :
“ May it please your worships: 1 think 1
heard read by the prosecutors, as I .entered
(his house, the paper I now hold in my hand.
If 1 have rightly understood, the King’s at
torney of the colony has framed an indict
ment for the purpose of arraigning and pun
ishing by imprisonment, three inoffensive
persons before the bar of this court, for a
crime of great magnitude—as disturbers of
the peace. He here read. Did I hear an
expression ns if a crime, that these men,
whom your worships are about to try for
misdemeanor are charged with—what?’’ and
continuing with a low solemn (one, "preach
ing-lhe gospel of tho Son of God I” Puus
log midst the most profound silence and
breathless astonishment, he slowly waved the
paner three times around bis head, when,
lifting his hands and eyes to heaven, with
peculiar and impressive energy, he exclaimed,
“ Great God /" The exclamation the
burst of feeling from the audience—Were
overpowering. Mr. Henry resumed :
“May it please your worships: In a day 1
like this —when truth is about lo break her
'fetters when mankind are about to be
aroused to claim natural and inalienable
rights—when the yoke of oppression, that
has reached the wilderness of America, and
the unnatural alliance of ecclesiastical and
civil power, are about to be dissolved—at I
such a period, when liberty—liberty of con
science—is about lo awake from her slum
berings, and inquire into the reason of such
charges ns I find exhibited here 10-day in
this indictment!” Another fearful pause,
while the speaker alternately cast his sharp
piercing eyes on tho court and the prisoners,
and resumed : “If lam not deceived, ac
cording to the contents of the paper I now
hold in my Inyid, these men are accused ol
preaching the gospel of the'Son of God!
Great God !” Another long pause, while he
again waved the mdictmenfaround his bean
—while a deeper impression was made on
the auditory. Resuming his speech : “May
it please your worships: there are periods
in the history of man when corruption and
depravity have so long debased' the human
character, that man sinks under the weight
of the oppressor’s hand—becomes his servile,
abject slave j he licks the band that smiles
him; he bows in passive obedience to the
mandates of the despot ; and, in this stale of
servility, he receives his fetters of perpetual
bondage; But may it please your worships,
such a day has passed away I From that
period when our fathers led the land of their
nativity for settlement in these Am°rican
wilds—for liberty—for civil and religious
liberty—for liberty of conscience to worship
their Creator according to their own concep
tions of Heaven’s revealed will, from the
moment they placed their feel upon the
American continent, and in deeply imbedded
forests sought an asylum from persecution
and tyranny —from that moment despotism
is crushed —the fetters ol darkness were bro
ken and heaven decreed that man sh'ould be
free—free to worship God according to the
Bible. Were it not for this, in vain were all
their sufferings and bloodshed to subjugate
this New World, if we, their offspring, must
still bo oppressed and persecuted. But, may
it please your worships, permit me lo i nquire
once more, for what are these men about to
be tried ? This paper says, “for Drenching
the gospel of our Saviour lo Adam's fallen
i race.” And in tones of thunder he exclaim
, ed—“WArit law hatst they violated?’ —
1 While tho third time, in a low dignified man
ner, ho lifted his eyes to heaven, and waved
the indictment around his head. The court
and audience were now wrought up fo the
most intense pitch of excitement. The face
of the prosecuting attorney was pallid and
ghastly, and he appeared unconscious that
his whole frame was agitated with alarm,
while the judge, in a tremulous voice, put an,
end to the scene, now becoming excessively
painful, by il e aulhoralive declaration,
“Sheriff discharge these m-D."
Bread froji ouown VVueat. —Having
read a number of recipes on bread-making,
from grown wfaeot, let me gwe you my expe
rience, and I may venture to say that my
broad is as white and light as is made by any
person. •
I use neither alum nor Whiskey, nor do 1
kilndry or scald my flour. I use nothing to
make it rise but hop-yeast cakes,- (or turn
pikes as they are called,) generally about one,
to two loaves of bread. Beat the cakes up
with warm water until it is about as thin us

another pail un'ii it forms a thin batter; then
pour in your yeast cakes, and beat thorough
ly together; set it away now until it rises,
after which pour it into your kneading
trough and work it with flour until it is hard
and stiff as you can get il. Form your loaves
now, and set them near the stave to rise until
they becomo'perfectly light; then bake'in a
hot oven for about three-qurlers of an hour;
take them out, and' the next'morning you will
