warning the young OF both sexes from looking on
each other with feelings too nearly allied to love and
tenderness, and beseeching the young men and wo-
friends not 10 indulge the carnal appetite, the
lusts Of the flesh, but to live sobery righteously
and godly in this present evil world laying up
treasures IN Heaven, where neither moth nor rust
doth corrupt, and where there is neither marrying
giving in marriagetoa Of which all the friends
pay great attention, whilst in the meeting, and in re-.
lation to which they act exactly they please and
think proper after. For flesh is but flesh, and
beautiful young Quakeress, when tempted, is, after
all, ne stronger than her mother Eve, OF old.
But, to the point. A description Of one Quaker
meeting, is description Of hundred; and the out
line here given is outline of the yearly meetings
this week in New York. The attendance has been
numerous; the two parties, the orthodox and the
Hicksites, are as wide apart as ever; Joseph John
Quincy has been edfying the former. and samuel M.
Channy, Of the District Of Columbia, Stephen Ty-
son, Of Coeymans, George r. White, OF New York,
and Rachael Parker, Of Poug psie, have been
horng the latter. The business meetings Of the
ciety have been simple and primitive enough. Those
Of the orthodox were held in Henry street, those Of
the Hicksitcs, liberal friends have been held in
Hester street. And, where so many beautiful vir-
gins were collected, and so much virgin soil remained
untitled, untouched untasted, we felt il duty TO
send Ariel, dressed in handsome, dove-coored silk
frock, bonnet TO match, and snow white pettcoat,
all OF the newest and most approved modern Qua
ker fashion, without pantalettes.
From Ariel we learn that the meeting opened at
Hester street in the usual manner, by the clerk call
ing over the list Of the representatives. from the diff
fsrent quarterly meetings; most OF them answered
to their names. There was no chairman, no modera.
tor, and in short, officer bat the clerk. NEXT
came the g Queries" as they are called which are
certain questions, calling for answers 10 show the

One Of these will suffice as a specimen. The clerk
reads from book Of "Discipline," thus

The clerk then refers 10 several written reports
from distant parts Of the country, containing an.
swers to queries reading thus tNN Wa.

The moral state Of the society was then infinitely
ascertained and measures taken 10 regulate accord

about /" faith" Some Of the speeches were very
unique both in manner and matter. An honest old
