From the U. S. Saturday Post.
The Quakeress.
BY LEWIS. J. CIST.
Oh! never talk again to me-
Of dashing belles and high-born misses'
Till it has been your lot to see
A "Meeting" full of Quakeresses ! . ,
Your city miss may gayer dress, ,
Your dashing belle may be more striking,
But the neat, modest Quakeress ' .
Is far more lovely, to my likings
Oh! was it ne'er your lot to know
A sweet and modest Quaker lass,
With sunny brow, and neck of snow,
And bosom but we'll let that pass!
With eyes, before whose melting glance ,
The sturdiest rebel must surrender;
Eyes that might fairly make you dance,
So bright and sparkling, yet so tender! s .
Her form of Nature's finest mould,
Untrammelled by the hand of Art;
Features in which you may behold
The rich out-gushings of a heart,
Filled with the deep intensity
Of young love's sweetest, purest passion;
With manners frankly kind, and free
From the cold worldliness of fashion.
Her maidenly becoming walk
(Sometimes too staid, I will allow;)
And then her pretty Quaker talk,
ler "yea" and "nay," and "thee" and "thou,"
How prettily from her sweet lips
Fall phrases that were harsh from others,
lust as her graceful looks eclipse
Her tall, ungainly awkward brothers!
And then no cold coquette is she,
Feigning love's show without its feeling,
But rather strives, all modesty,
To practice woman's art concealing:
But yet when He the favored )outh,
Shall ask if she his lot will bless,
So dearly does she love the truth
She'll ever answer frankly ''Yes!"
Let other bards attune their lays,
To reigning belles and toasted beauties, '
But be it mine to sing the praise " '
Of Quaker girls and homely amies;
Let high-born dames, in jewels flashing, ,
By lord and fopling worshipped be,
Let others choose their beauties dashing,
But the sweet Quakeress for me !
Cincinnati, Ohio. v
The Green Horn.
The second day after our return to Spithcad,
1 was sent on shore in the cutter to bring off a
youngster who was to join the ship; ho had
never been to sea before; his name was Green,
and he was as green as a gooseberry. I took
a dislike to him the moment that I saw him,
because ho had a hooked nose, and very small
ferreity eyes. As we were pulling on board,
he asked me a great many questions of all kinds,
particularly about the captain and oflicers, and
to amuse myself and the boat's crew, I exer
cised my peculiar genius for invention.
At last, after I had given a character of the
first lieutenant, which made him appear a sort
of marine ogre, he asked how it was I got on
with him: '0 very well," replied I; "but I'm a
freemason, and so is he; and he's never severe
with a brother mason."
"But how did he know you were a mason?"
"I made the sign to him the very first lime
that he began to scold me, and he left off al
most immediately; that is when 1 made the
second sign; he did not when I made the first."
"I should like to know those signs. Won't
you tell them to me!"
"Tell them to you! Oh, no, that won't do,"
replied I. i don't know you. Here we are on
board in bow rowed of all men. Now, Mr.
Green, I'll show you the way up."
Mr. Green was presented and ushered into
ihe service much in the same way thai I was;
but he had not forgotten what 1 said to him, re
lative to the first lieutenant, and it so happen
ed, that on the third day, he witnessed a joba
tion, delivered by the first lieutenant to one of
the midshipmen, who on venturing to reply,
was ordered to the mast head; added to which,
a few minutes afterwards, the first lieutenant
ordered two men to be put both legs iu irons.
Mr. Green trembled as he saw the men led
away by the master-at-arms, and he came to
mc.
4-I do wish, Keene, you would tell me those
signs," said he; "can't you be persuaded to part
with them! will give you anything that I have"
which you may like."
"Well," said I, "I should like to have that
long spyglass of yours; for it is a very good one,
and as a signal midshipman will be useful to
II give it ynu, with all my heart," replied
h.c5 "if you will tell mo the signs."
; ! jL-Ii tiien,,come down Uetuw.,,gtyo me tlto
glass. amr I wi)luell,ibcm to you." , ,
jvi i r .i . -i i .1 i
lorm. 1 thou leil I i 1 1 1 1 to my chest in ihe steer
age, and iu a low, confidential lone told him as
follows:
"You see, Green, you must he very particu
lar about making those signs, for if you make a
mistake you will bo worse off than if you never
made ihein at all, for the"firsl lieutenant will
suppose that you are trying to persuade him
thai you are a mason, when you are not. Now,
observe you must not attempt to make the first
sign until he has scolded you well; ihen at any
pause you must make it; thus, you see, you
must put your thumb to ihr tip of your nose, and
extend your band straight Irom it, with all the
fingers separated as wide as you can. Now, do
it as I did it. Slop wait a ltule till th.it ma
iin passes. Yes, that is it. Well, that is con
sidered first proof of your being a mason, but ii
requires a second. The first lieutenant will, 1
tell you frankly, be. or rather pretend to be, in
a terrible rage, and will continue to rail at you;
you must, therefore, wait a little till he pauses,
and then, you observe, put up your thumb to
your nose, with the fingers of your hand spread
out as before, and then add to it your oilier
hand by joining your oilier thumb to the little
finger of the hand already up, and stretch your
other hand out like the first. Then ynu will
see the effects of the second sign. Do you
think you can recollect all thia! for as I said
before, you must make no mistake."
Green put his hands up as i had told him,
and afier three or four essays declared himself
perfect and I lefi him.
It was three days afterwards that Mr. Green
upset a kid of dirty water upon the lower deck,
which had been dry holystoned; and the mate
of the lower deck, when the first lieutenant
went his round, reported the circumstance to
exculpate himself. Mr. Green was consequent
ly summoned upon the quarter deck, and the
first lieutenant, who was very angry commenced
as usual, a volley of inveterate abuse on the un
fortunate youngster.
Green, recollecting mv instructions, wailed
till the first lieutenant had paused, and then
made the first free mason sign, looking up very
boldly at the first lieutenant, who actually drew
back with astonishment at this contemptuous
conduct hitherto unwitnessed on board of a
man-of-war.
"What, sir!" cried the first lieutenant. "Why
sir, arc you mad! you just come into the ser
vice treating me iu this manner! I can tell you
sir, that you will not be three days longer in
the service no, sir, not three davs, for either
you leave the service or I do. Of all the im
pudence, of a!l the insolence, of all the con
tempt, I have heard of, this beats all and from
such a little animal as you. Consider yourself
as under an arrest, sir, nil the captain comes on
board, and your conduct is reported go down
below, sir, immediately."
The lieutenant paused, and now Green gave
him sign the second, as a reply, thinking that
they would then come to a right understanding;
but to his astonishment, the first lieutenant was
more furious than ever, and calling the ser-
j ceant of marines, ordered him to take Mr.
j Green dowfl, and put him in irons, under the
half-deck.
Poor Green was handed down, all astonish
ment at the waul of success of his mason's signs.
Keene who stood abaft was delighted at the
success of his joke, while the first lieutenant
walked hastily up and down ihe deck, as much
astonished as enraged at such instilling and in
solent conduct from a lad who had not been a
w eek in the service.
After a time the first lieutenant went down
below, when Bob Cross, who was on deck, and
who had perceived my delight at the scene,
which appeared to him and to all others so in
explicable, come up to mc and said,
"Master Keene, I am sure, by your looks,
that you know something about this affair. That
foolish lad never had dared do so, if he knew
what it was that he had done. Now, don't look
so demure, but tell me how it is.
I walked aft with Bob Cross, and confided
my secret to him; ho laughed heartily, and said:
"Well, Tommy Doit did say that you were
up to anything, and so I think you are; but you
see this is a very serious afiair for poor Green,
and like the fable of the frogs, what is sport to
you is death to others. The poor lad will be
turned out of service, and lose his chance of be
ing a post captain, so you must allow me to ex
plain the matter so that it gets to the ears of
the first lieutenant as soon as possible."
"Well," replied I, "do as you like, Bob; if
any one's to be turned out of the service for
such nonsense, it ought to be me, and not Green,
poor snob."
"No fear of j-our being turned out; tho first
lieutenant won't like you the worse, and the
other officers will like you the better, especial
ly as I shall say that it is by your wish that 1
explain all to gel Mr, Green out of the scrape.
I'll to the surgeon and toll htm; but. Master
Keene, don't you cull such matters nonsense,
r you'll find yourself mistaken one of these
daysv I never saw such disrespect oii a quar-ler-deck
in all my life,, worse than mutiny a
thousand times." Here Dob Cross burst out
j iiji. uiucii .urn i went uowu 10 uieoerm, anu
I received ihe spy-glass as a present, in due
,1 fti iw gmiL-imuL
into a fit of laugluer, as he recalled Green's ex
tended fingers to his memory, and then he turn
ed away and went down below to speak to the
surgeon.
As soon as Cross had quitted the deck, 1
could not restrain my cutiosity as to the situa
tion of my friend Green; I therefore wtmt down
ihe ladder to the half-deck, and there, on iIik
starboard side between ihe "runs I perceived the
poor fellow, with his legs in irons, his hands
lifmly clasped logeilierj looking so woeful and
woe-liegone, every now anil men raising ins
-
eyes up to the beams of the upper deck, as if
be would appeal to heaven, thai I scarcely could
refrain from laughing. I went up to him and
said: why, Green, how is all this what has
happened!"'
"Happened," said the poor fellow, "see what
has happened; here I am."
"Did you make the freemason's signs!" re
plied I.
"Did'nt 1? Yes I did, oh, what'll become
of me!"
"You could not have made them right; you
must have forgotten them."
"I'm sure I made them as you told me; I'm
quite sure of that."
"Then perhaps I did not recollect them ex
actly myself; however, be of good heart; I will
have the whole mailer explained to the first
lieutenant."
"Pray do; only get me out of this. I don't
want the glass back "
"I'll have it done directly," replied I.
As I went away, Bob Cross came up, and
(old me that I was wanted by the first lieuten
ant in ihe gun room.
"Don't be afraid," said he; they've been laugh
ing at it already, and ihe first lieutenant is in
a capital humor, now, still he'll serve you out
well, you must expeel that."
"Shall I make him the sign again!" replied
I, laughing.
"No, no; you've gone far enough, and too far
already; mind vhai I say to you."
1 went into the gun-room, when a tittering
ceased as the sentry opened the door, and I
walked in.
"Did you want me, sir!" said I to the first
lieutenant, touching my hat, and looking very
demure.
"So, Mr. Keene, I understand it was you
who has been practising upon Mr. Green, and
teaching him insult and disrespect to his supe
rior oflicers on the quarter-deck. Well, sir."
I made no reply, but appeared very penitent.
"Because a buy has just come to sea, and is
ignorant of his profession, it appears to be a
custom which 1 shall take care shall not be
followed up, to play him all manner of tricks
and tell him all manner of falsehoods. Now,
sir, what have you to say for yourself!"
"Mr. Green and 1 have both just come to
sca sir, and the midshipmen all play us so ma
ny tricks," repliwd I, humbly, "that 1 hardly
know whether, what 1 do is right or wrong."
"But sir. it was you who played this trick
upon Mr. Green.
"Yes, sir, 1 told him so for fun. but I did'nt
think he was such a fool as to believe me. I
only said that you were a free-mason, and that
free-masons were kind to each other, and that
you gave one another signs to know one ano
ther by; I heard you say you were a free-mason,
sir, when I dined in tho gun room."
Well sir, I did say so; but that is no reason
for your teaching him to be impudent."
"He asked me for the signs, sir, and I did'nt
know them exactly; so I gave him the signs that
Mr. Dott and 1 always made between us."
"Mr. Dott and you are a pretty pair I've a
great mind to put you in Mr. Green's place at
all events, I shall report- your conduct to the
captain. There, sir, you may go."
1 put on a penitent face as 1 went out wiping
my eyes with the back of my hands. A few
minutes afterwards, Mr. Green was set free and
after a severe reprimand was allowed to return
to his duly.
"You are well out of that trick, my hearty,"
said Bob Cross--"the first lieutenant won't say
a word to the captain, never fear. But don't try
it again."
Anecdote.
Soon after the close of the war of 1812, an
American merchantman, manned by green Yan
kees went into London. One of the Yankees
pitched ashore, and landed in a large warehouso.
The proprietor stepped up to him, and said, 'My
fr-fr-friend can you t-t-t-tell m-m,' he could go
no further. The head clerk advanced and said,
41 guess I can tell you what he was going to
ak ho was going to ask if you could tell him
the reason why Balaam's Ass spoke!' 'Wall,'
replied Jonathan, '1 guess Balaam was a stut
tering man and couldn't speak, and so his Ass
stepped up and spoke for him.'
In Norway it is said to be no uncommon
sight to behold a "gentleman dancing with a
ptpe in his mouth, or in waltzing,-puffing the
smoke into some lady's face.

The occasion of the following discourse was as
follows: Hosea Ballou, of Boston, the oracle of
Universalismfot New England and tlTe-rowdJi
States, made an appointment to preach hi tli-s
place where Lemuel Hftynes was stationed. Mr.
Hayues had an appointment in a distant, part of
his parish, for the same time; not knowing, at thi
time of making it, of Mr. Ballou's purpose,
j the advice of bis friends, Mr. II. consenre f t
At
to re
linquish bis appointment, and to attend on .Mr. B.:
as he (Ballou) bad vatmlingly remarked Oiyt U?
friends of orthodoxy "scudded at his approach."
Mr. Ballou, having ended his discourse, invit-I
Mr. II. to speak; whereupon be ascended the pui
pit, took his te.and gave the following discourse
At the conclusion of it, one of Mr. Ballou's frienris
remarked to him, (Ballou) "he skinned you alTvc."
Mr. Ilaynes was a colored man, well know a
and much esteemed for his piety and good sense.
He was last stationed at GranviPe, N. Y., where
he died, in the year 1833.
Genesis Hi., 4: "And the serpent xiad unto thi
xcoman, Ye shall not surely die."
The Holy Scriptures are a peculiar fund of
instruciiou. They inform us of the origin of
creation; of the primitive state of man; of ht
fall, or apotacy from God. It appears that h-:
was placed in the garden of Eden, with full
liberty to regale himself with all the dclirim.sj
fruits lhat were to he found except what grew
on one tree if he ate of that he should surely
die, was ihe declaration of ihe Most High.
Happy were ihe human, pair amid this de
ligluful paradise, until a certain preacher, in
his journey, came lhat vvay, and disturbed their
peace and tranquillity by endeavoring to reverse
the prohibition of the Almighty, as iu our text
"Ye shall not surely die."
"She pluck'd, she ate;
j Earth felt the wound: nature from her seat, '
Sighing through all her works, gave signs oT wo,
That all was lost." Milton.
We may attend,
To the charactsr of the preacher to the doc
trine inculcated to the hearer addressed tu
the medium or instrument of the preaching.
I. As to the preacher, I would observe, ho
llas many names given him in the sacred wri
lings, the most common is lite Devil. That it
was he that disturbed the felicity of our first
parents, is evident from 2 Cor. xi., 3, and manv
other passages of Scripture. He was once an
angel of light, and knew better than to preach
such doctrine; he did violence to his own rea
son. But to be a little more particular, let it bo ob
served, 1. He is an old preacher. He lived about
one thousand seven hundred years before Abra
ham above two thousand four hundred and
thirty years before Moses four thousand anil
four years before Christ. It is now five thous
and eight hundred and nine vears since he com
menced preachinj. By this time he must have
acquired great skill m the art.
2. Ho is a very cunning, artful preacher.
When Elymas, ihe sorcerer, came to turn away
people from the fanh, ho is said to be full of all
subtlety, and a child of the devil not only be
cause he was an enemy of all righteousness,
but on account of his carnal cunning and craft
iness. 3. He is a very laborious, unwearied preach
er. He has been in the ministry almost six
thousand years, and yet his zeal is not in the
least abaied. The apostle Peter compares him
to a roaring lion, walking about, seeking whom
ho may devour. When God inquired of this
persevering preacher. Job n., 2, "From whenco
earnest thou?" he "answered ihe Lord, and said,
From going to and fro in the earth, and from
walking up and down in it." He is far from be
ing circumscribed within the natrow limits of
parish, state, or continental lines; but his haunt
and travel is very large and extensive.
4. He is a heterogenous preacher, if I may
so express myself. He makes use of a Bible
when he holds forth, as in his sermon to our
Saviour, Matt, iv., 6. He mixes truth with er
ror; in order to make it go well, or to cany his
point.
5. He is a very presumptuous preacher. Not
withstanding God had declared in the most
plain and positive terms, "Thou shall surely
die" or, "In ding thou shall die" yet this
audacious wretch had the impudence to confront
omnipotence, and say, "Yc shall not surelv
die!"
6. He is a very successful preacher. IIi
draws a great number after him. No preacher
can command hearers ij;e i,;m jjj. was 3UC.
cessful with ou-f first parents wiih the old
world. Noah once preached to those spirit
lhat arc now in the prison of hell, and told them
from God that they should surely die; but thN
preacher enme along, and declared the contra
ry "Yo shall not surely die." The greater
part, it seems, believed him, and went to de
struction. So it was with Sodom and Gomor
rah Lot preached to them; the substance of
which was, "Up, get ye out of this place; for
tho Lord will destroy this city." Gen. xix., 14.
But this old declaimer told them, No danger!
ho danger! "Yo shall not surely die." To
