TURNING TO CLAY.

You may travel the road from Missouri to Maine,
If'twere all the way fenced 'twould make a long

Yet from one end to the other you'll find every
day
Men, women, and Children are turning 10 Clay.

On whose influence aud power the country may
rest;

There's nought will effect it but turning TO Clay.
Even Martin Van Buren who by cunning & trick
cry,
Thinks to ride into power on the back Of old
Hickory,
His schemes will all fall and at some distant day
The old King Of terors will turn him to Clay.
John Caldwell Calhoun, who presdcs in .he Sc

And insists he has no right to keep order in it,
His vaultng ambition has led him astray,
He'll be cool, calm, and silent, when he's turned
to Clay.
The bold Northern lion ~ Who once shook his name
And broke all the threads in the story of IIayne,
In the Cabinet, perhaps, his great power may dis

If the country goes on thus in turning to Clay.
Though our national glory awhile may be veiled,
And our rulers still act with their reasons conceal

Those dark deeds will ere long, be all wiped a.
way,
As truth shall prevail, and we all turn to Clay.
Then may the old Hero, q wish him no harm,)
Retire IN good health and in peace to his farm
Look into HIMSELF and prepare for the day,
When he will be call'd on and must turn to Clay.

MEMOIRS or MRS. FRY.
[From Madame Adele Du Thou's History Of the
Ouakers

| Elizabeth Gurney, (now Mrs. Fry,)
of Earlham Hall, in the county of Nor
folk, was born in 1880; she had the mis-
fortune to lose her mother when very
young, and was thus, at an early age, in
some measure abandoned to her own
| guidance. Her father, though member
Of the Society Of Friends, was by no
means strict, and suffered his children to
enjoy much greater freedom than is usu-
| ally permitted among individuals of that
sect. Elizabeth Gurney was accustom-
| cd to mix much with society, and she en-
Joyed all the advantages birth, fortune,
and education; she was about seventeen
years of age when she first visited Lon-
don; was anxious to see every thing, and
having participated for period in all the
gay anusemcnts Of the capital, she re-
turned to Norfolk. a short time after
her return, some members of the society
Gas is customary among the Friends }
came to Earlham 10 make "A family riSa.
|, This suddenly wrought transformation
~ the habits Cf the whole family; all be-
came more serious, and seemed to feel
the influence ofthe holy visit, Elizabeth,
IN particular, was deeply penetrated by
the evangelical lectures which she heard.
Ia mind like hers, religious impress
sion was not likely TO be transltory-too
pious, and too well informed, to confine
proved her faith by her labors, and soon
prevailed on her father to convert one of
the apartments of Earlham Hall into a
school-room. Here she daily received
four and twenty poor children, to whom
she read and explained the Bible. She
assumed the simple garb Of the Quakcrs,
and rcnounced all kinds of amuscments.
In 1900, she married Mr. Fry, whose
amiabe and generous character fully JUS
tfes her choice. Far from opposing
her benevolent labors, ,he facilitates them,
and affords her a.,ple means of relieving
the unfortunate by annually placing at
her disposal considerable sum, which
she applies entirely to the benefit Of the
poor Mrs Fry's life is devoted to acts
of virtue, and her time is almost wholly
occupied in charitable missions, She
makes no distinction; the unfortunate are
brothers, whatever be their country or
religion; sorrow is every where the same,
and bcncvolencc should be universal. =
Mrs. Fry is at once a physician to the bo-
dy and the soul; she comforts and feeds
the poor, and supplies them with clothes
and with bibles and thus she explains
and teaches the gospel. She even adj
minist' RS succor to criminals; she regards
vice merely as disease, and never with
holds assistance from the sick.

BREVITIES.

Fortune is painted blind, that she may
not blush to behold the fools who belong
to her.
Some men get on in the world on the
same principle that sweep passes unin-
lerruptedly through crowd.
People who affect shortness Of sight
must think it the height Of good fortune
to be born blind.
Lounging, unemployed people, may be
called Of the tribe of Joshua, for with
them the sun stands still.
Fanatics think men like bulls-they
must be baited to madness ere :hey are
in q fit condition to die.
There is an ancient saying-"Truth
lies in a well. MAY not the modern
adage run-"The most certain charity
is at pump"
Some connoiseurs would give hun
dred pounds for the painted head of "a
beggar, who would threaten the living
mcndicant with the stocks.
If you boast Of contempt for the
world, avoid getting into debt. 1t is Civ
ing to gnats tho fangs of vipers.
The heart of the great man, surround
ed by poverty and trammclled by depen-
dcnce, is like an egg in nest built among
briars. 1t must either curdle into bitter
ness or, if it take life and mount, struggle
through the thorns for the ascent.
Fame is represented bearing trum-
pet. Would not the picture be truer,
were she to hold handful Of dust?
Fishermen, in order to handle ecls Sc
curely, first cover them with dirt. In
like manner does detraction strive to
grasp excellence.
The friendship of some men is quite
Briarean. They have a hundred hands.
The easy and temperate man is not he
who is most valued by the world; the vir-
tue of his abstcmiousness makes him an
object Of Indifference. One of the gra-
vest charges against the ass is-he can
live on thistles.
The wounds Of the dead are the fur
rows in which living heroes grow their
laurels.
Were we determined rcsoluteIy to a
void vices, the world would fost them on
us-as thieves put off their plunder on
the guiltless.
When we look at the hide of a tiger in
a furricr's shop, exposed to the gaze of
every malapert, and then think of the ie-
rocity ofthc living beast in its native jun
gle, we see a beadle before mag istrate
"a magistrate before minister; there is
the skin Of ollice-the sickness without
its claws.
With some people political vacllation
heig ghtens mans celebrity-just as the
galleries applaud when an actor enters
in new dress.
If we judge from history, of what is
the book of glory composed? Are not
its leaves dead mems skin-its letters
stamped in human blood--its golden
clasps the pillage of nations? 1t is illu-
minated with tears and broken hearts.

The celebrated Speed, the author of a
valuable History Of Great Britain and

The celebrated Italian writer Cell,

Persian Languages, in which he was
much renowned.

see Mrs. Fry, and in the most fattering
terms testified the admiration she felt for
her conduct. The thanks of the city OF
London were voted to her; and, in short,
there is not an Englishman who does not
bless her name.
Mrs. Fry, who is as useful among the
members Of her own sect as she has been
in Newgate, exercises, in her evangcli-
cal mission, that charitable indulgence
which arises from sincere piety and II
pure conscience. Her eloquence pene-
tratos the soul; no one can hear her with
out becoming more virtuous, or at least
without feeling convinced that he may
become SO; she is not feared, but loved {;
and she is herself the example of what
she breaches. How many affecting an

Mrs Fry is still young, and that in all
probability she may yet live long for the
happiness Of her family, her friends and

1t is truth, that the observation of all
business men will confirm, that generally
a young man Of steady habits, Of right
education, of industry, prudence and e.
economy, is as certain of becoming rich,
as is stream Of water of flowing to an

vention of circumstances not to be con-
trolled, long sickness or death, reflected

asked, are so many, truly worthy, and re-
markably industrious men, destitute of
competency We reply, that they may
not have had good education; that they
may have started wrong; they may have
been less prorident than their circum-
stances demanded; their first earnings
may have taken wrong course; single
disappointments may have been too Sc
verely felt; opportunities may have been
neglected; and the great maxim Of busi-
