There's mny a lass with a blooming i cheek, And many an eye that has learn'd to , speak. There's many a beauty jewellyd out, And many a wit at ball and rout, And many a head for such will whirl, But give me a beautiful Quaker girl! There are those that please and those s that charm, There are thc;e that boast of a love- ly form, Of pearly teeth, or a pretty foot, Or of having sprung from an honor'd ' root, Qr of heads all deck'd with gems or ( curls, But these are unlike the Quaker girls! liave you ever gazed on a pretty face Uv nature deck'd with every grace, That tcld of a soul all pure Sc bright, Ct a mind that glow'd with virtue's, light, Tint spoke of a heart to nature true? i:s the Quaker girl exposed to view ! you ever felt of a lily hand hat shrinking gave you a reprimand? Have you ever chatted (we knv? ! how) And smiled at her simple 'thee' and i 'thou,' Or laugh'd when she frankly told you fyes,f Tis the fashion you know with the ;' Quakeress! There is kindness beaming from her i eye, t And truth in every look and sigh; "lhere is honesty breathed in every I vow, Arid it sounds no worse for it's 'thee' ! and 'thou;' koboavt if you will of each lass you see, frit the Quakeress is the one for nie! From the Globe. I Backing out hauling off." ;Tlie Journal of Commerce has "lade a discovery which seems to a matter of much gratulation imong the bank fraternity. It assures them that the Van Buren wen are "hauling off" from the oetrine of "no rag money give ,us gold and silver!" It tells them jthat there is "a hacking out," be se the Glohe says "Neither Resident Jackson, President Van (tiureu, Colonel Benton, nor auy :lier person holding a position to t've weight to his views cs repre senting those of the democracy. ver proposed a currency exclu f':vely metallic." And this is giv fn as news! and the federal party j -ire cheered with it as a symptom I I .al a3 to the hard money doc lj',e, the democratic party (to use '. I1' elegant style of the Journal) i 'find ttiat it's no go." If this treso, why is it i,at the bank party do nol gjve UJi iheir war on tl"e administration, as far as the rency is concerned? If the 1 executive, and the power in the immunity which supports him, neuacked out, and are yielding ltleir strength in the Government 10 promote whig schemes in re ard to the currency, why is it hal the bankers resist the co ,!Pration which could not fail to complisi, those objects? The rilll is, the bank party find that Susnpn- r : rv,,i"ii ui petie puyiueius scheme deliberately plotted ra boldly executed by "the fede ral'?ad, to force the Govern ment to submit to the dominion of a national bank ,,ts covered ihein with shame; has rendered them so odious, that they are ob ie.i to preen. 1 that the doctrines ot the democracy on the currency, are their doctrinest We ask the Journal of Com merce to point to the positioti as sutned by President Jackson, Pre sident Van Buren, Colonel Ben ton, the Globe, or any otluv speaking it) the name of democra cv, from which the passive iu question can be construed into a retreat? In what message of Pre sident Jackson is the extirpating of all (lie banks, and an exclusive metallic currency, recommended? Many may be found recommend ing the expulsion of a batik note c ire ul -it ion from country dealinzrs. uiid conliiiitig it to the commerciall channels, by raising the rienomi-f nation of notes to twenty or fifty dollars; but he never proposed that there should be no represen tative of the larger sumsofspe-1 tie, which the business of mer-j chants makes it necessary should! undergo transfer, in fact or bv credited p;iper, between distant points. The principle of Presi dent J lckson required that the la bor of the country should be cover ed Ly the jm cious metals that it should not be made the prey of a paper medium, of fluctuating val ue, let out and drawn in at the pleasure of monopolists and spec ulators profiting by the ebbs and flows, and sometimes by the bank ruptcy, of the circulation over which they presided. This is the doctrine of the letter to Sherrod Williams this is the doctrine of the letter of Colonel Benton to the Mississippi Convention, in which he pledges himself for the opinions ol the individual whom he preferred, even to himself, as ihe candidate of the democracy for the Presidency. Will the Journal of Commerce mark the passage iu the Glohe in conflict with ti;ns principles, or with that declaration which is seized on as indicating a renunciation of doc trines hitherto advanced? John Randolphs IVill settled at last. The Special Court of Appeals of Virginia has affirmed the judgment of the General Court, in the case of Mr. Ran dolph's will. This decision esta blished the will of 1821 with its various codiciU up to 1831, by which the slaves of Mr. Randolph are emancipated. Steamboat wrecked. The Al bany (N. Y.) Journal rontains a report that the steamboat Monroe, which sailed from Buffalo on the 19th June, had been wrecked near the Upper Lakes. She had on board at the lime, between four and five hundred persons, the greater part of whom are said to have beeii lost. fXA person known under the name of the Reverend John II. Edtnislon, who has been for some lime principal of the Female In stitute of Paris, Tennessee, has been detected in an attempt to se duce one of his own pupils. It appears that ihe atrocious person age iu question, under the sacred garb of a clergyman, in which, in fact, he was officiating in the neighborhood, had acquired un bounded control over the young ladies submitted to his care. What makes the matter w orse, he is a married man with children, and on those innocent persons now falls the stigma of being dis graced with such an individual a? a father and a husband. It ap pears he went out a rising with a highly respectable young lady, one of his pupils, and on the road side decoyed her into a thicket where, fortunately, he was inter rupted by a gentlenian who was passing, and the diabolical pur ;ose of the villain thus frustrated. The affiiir occasioned the greatest ' Xcitement. Ti e rascal has fled, "id the citizens of Paris have published a card, in which the young lady, shamefully assailed b the poisonous breath of slander, is wholly exculpated from any sus piciun of the foul designs intend ed upon her by a person to whom site looked up as a protector rath er than a ilstnupr if hor ness. s JV. Y. Star. Second edition of Sam Patch's last leap. The Boston Daily Ad vertiser of the 24th nil. states that an occurrence of a novel and sin gular character took place in that city on the Monday previous. Christopher Jones, an Englishman by birth, upwards of 40 years of age, undertook to perform a feat, which it is said, he had previously performed elsewhere, without in conveuieuce, but which on this oc casion cost him his life. About 2 o'clock in the afternoon, provided with a rope about six feet in length, having at one end a loop, which was passed round his neck, and at the other, a stone weighing twenty-five pounds, securely fas tened, he jumped from Boston South Bridge into the water, where it was about eight feet deep, in the presence of a number of spectators. While under water, his intention was to dress himself as a female, and then make his ap pearance above water. He came above water once or twice, suppo sed by most of the spectators for the purpose of taking breath, but by others he appeared to be strug gling. After having disappeared lor some time, the spectators came to the conclusion that all was not right, and took measures to bring ; both fell upon the mediator. Thus him up. He was got out in about ! a stranger should never intermed twenty minutes, lifeless, and en- j die, as the chances are ten to one deavors made to resuscitate him, i that he will get his head broken but without avail.

Monitor states, that about two weeks since iheU. S. Iroops undertook to dis possess a citizen al Gunter's Lan ding of certain property claimed by another; they met with resist ance from a bodj' of citizens hea ded by the individual about to be dispossessed. The latter party is represented to have gained a bloody, triumph. Some five or six trren were killed, among whom was the Clerk of Marshall county, j and a great number wounded. JV. Y. Star. Murdering for amusement. A shocking, singular, and unaccoun table murder was committed upon the person of a child of Mr. J. B. Brinker, living near Massie's Iron works, Franklin county, Missouri, on the 14th ult. by a slave belong ing to Mr. Bjinker, about 13 years of age. jThe child, about two years old, was taken by the girl to a small branch near the dwelling house, and thrown into it. The girl, finding that the little victim was likely to escape by getting out of the water, then jumped into it, and struck it with a large billet of wood on the side of the head. The blow killed it immediately. Soon after the child was missed, search was made, it was found .villi its skull fractured in the place stated. The girl was ar rested, and Confessed the whole of the facts of the murder. She at the same time confessed the murder of a child of Mr. Shirley, last fall, by putting it into a barrel placed in a spring, and drowned it. When questioned as to why she had murdered the child of Mr. Shirley, she said, "because the brat was always squalling, and it was such fun to see it kicking at the fishes." With regard to the last, she probably committed the act to keep her hand in, though she declared she bated Mr. Brin ker. She is described as a shrewd girl, remarkably fond of children, and exhibited no fear or com punction at the moment of appre hension. The girl is in jail at Potosi, Washington county, for trial. Pennsyivanian. Death from bee stings. The Norwalk (Conn.) Gazette says: 7 We learn that a few days since, an old gentleman in Danbury, Mr. Eliakim Peck, who w as riding iu a unc uue waugon, oy some' means or other, accidentally bro't his waggon in contact with a bee hive, which was thrown from the form upon which it stood to the ground. The bees instantly at tacked the horse and ids driver, and stung the former so dreadfully that he died within an hour in the most excruciating agony. The old gentleman still lives, hut it is not pvnprtpd ltifil ho tvlll i-n.M .. The doctrine of chances. On Tuesday night a man named Jen - kins, got a beating for attempting to adiust a matrimonial between one John and Ann Pe ters. The moment Jenkins inter fered, the belligerents suspended j hostilities between themselves, and complain if the sparks fly in his j lace.

Roth hlaintifT nnrl ! defendant arp fWl.T.-prc h,m,. ges laid at $10,000. From the testimony adduced, it appears that the plaintiff resided at No. 95 Ca- tharine street, and keot a board- i. . ing nouse. ju tnc spring ol last year the defendant came a board- er in the establishment, and being of an amorous disposition, speedi- ly fell in love with the plaintiff's wile, iv line at table lie paid her every attention, and ever and son named Sydney Rigdon, for anon, would steal a glance, and merly a preacher of the doctrine look under tne silken lashes into the blue depths of her bright eyes, that seemed a nest for a thousand Cupids. Then followed "soft pressure of hands and fingers, and hissings without number," as testi- fied by a servant of the plaintiff, named Francis Brusanic. All this was unknown to the plain- 1 tiff, who enjoyed a bli&sful igno- j ranee, and for what his eye did not see, ot course his heart did , not grieve. His spouse managed j matters so well that he did not; even dream of treachery in the camp. Meanwhile the assurance of the defendant increased, and from kissing, he presumed on taking other liberties, which may not be mentioned. She offered no resis tance, but merely said, "How can you?" But the more she remon strated, "the more he would not desist." But as there is nothing hid which shall not be revealed, the treachery of the defendant was discovered in this wise. One day in the latter part of August, the plaintiff went to Albany. On the fallowing night the defendant went i into the chamber of Brusanic, the servant, and laid hold of his nose, to ascertain if he was asleep. The latter, although not asleep, sus pecting how matters stood, did not move. The defendant being sat isfied, then entered the lady's room, where he staid a considera ble time. On coming out he again went to the servant's room, which was contiguous, and on finding him awake, said, ''Do you know where 1 have been?" The latter replied, "Do you think I am such a fool as not to be up to your ma noeuvres?" or words to that effect. The defendant took the servant in to the yard and begged him to say nothing about it, at the same lime offering to bribe him wiih two new linen shirts! But the magni ficent offer was rejected, and the matter brought to light, after which the lady left the house. The details of the evidence are unfit for the public eye. The jury after a short absence, returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages "Five thousand Dollars." JV. Y. Times. 'Up to Snuff.1 A scoundrel in Detroit recently cowhided another in the streets, after having blinded his victim by throwing snuff in his ees. He was fined ten dollars and costs. A rather dear.pinch. The St. Josephs Times of the ; 3d inst. contains the following pa j rapraph: ve learn that a United btates Cutter has been despatched by General Jesup, to Mobile, for $150,000 in specie, to be paid to the Indians for such of their prop erty, ponies, cattle, &c. as cannot be transported to the West.

Those crazy funa j lies have their grand tabernacle at a nlace thev call Kinland. fivi , . , - miles Irom the shore ot JLake E- rie, and twenty miles from CJeve land; and count no less than 4000 persons under their leader. Joe Smith. They have been lately joined by a shrewd literary per of Campbell. He is the Grand Vizier to Smith; and under their decision a bankinc house has been established, of which Smith is President and Rigdon Cashier. The issues have been about $150,TJ00. The bank failed, They have several mills on their property. The houses are small, including the Prophet Joe's. The temple is a beautiful building of rough stone, three stories high, and 70 to 75 feet square. Each of the two princinal aDartments holds 1,200 persons. The joists of the interior are supported by six fluted columns. Each apart ment contains six pulpits, arranged gradatim, three at one end of the 'Aaronic Priesthood,' and three at the other end of the 'Priesthood of Melchisedek.' The sli ps are so constructed that the audience can face either pulpit as may be required. In the highest seat of the Aafonic Priesthood sits the reverend father of the prophet; the next below is occupied by Joe' and liis prime minister Rigdon. The attic story is occupied as school rooms, five in number, where the various branches cf En glish, Latin, Greek and Hebrew languages are taught to a large number of students. The actual cost of the temple is not known, but it is estimated to have cost not less than $60,000. Smith, from the account of a lat visit, published in the Miami of the Lake newspaper, is repiesent ed as a placid looking knave, with passionless features, and perfectly composed in the midst of the hete rogeneous multitude who have he come the victimized dupes of his imposture. Rigdou is described as the reverse, with a face full of fire, a tenor voice, and of eloquent speech. The subject of his ser mon was the pressure his dis course mild and persuasive. Rig don is the wire-puller or screen rf Joe's inspirations. The follow ers are, many of them, upright men and tolerant towards other setts. JV.
