JOHN WESLEY.

We said in our last, that the society Of
Friends, or Quakers, did not receive into their
communion any one who engaged in the traffic
in ardent spirits, and that they also discoun-
tenance the use Of it as an immortality Long
ago, that great and good man, John Wesley,
declared and published to the world, as fol-
lows:-S. c. Temp. ADJ.
The men who traffic in ardent spirits, and
sell to all who will buy, are poisoners general,
they murder by wholesale, neither does their
eye pity or spare. And what is their gain ?
Is it not the blood of their men? Who would
envy their large estates and sumptuous pala-
ces? A curse is in the midst Of them. The
curse of God is on their gardens, their walks,
their groves-a fire that burns to the neither
most hell. Blood-biood is there--the founda-
ton, the floor, the walls, the root, are stained
with blood. And canst thou hope, . man of
blood, though thou art clothed in scarlet and
fine linen, and farest sumptuously every day
canst thou hope to deliver down the field Of
blood to the third generation Not so, there
is a God in heapen--therefore thy name shall
be rooted out. Like as those whom thou hast
destroyed, both body and soul, thy memorial
shall perish with thee"

REVOLUTIONARY ANECDOTE.

ATTEMPTED EXECUTION OF A DESERTER.
While at Purysburg, on the Savannah river,
a soldier, named Tickling, who had several
times attempted to desert, was ordered to be
hanged by Gen. Lincoln. The rope broke. A
second was procured, and that also broke. The
General was applied to for directions. "Oh,
WE'LL" said the General, 'let him go; thought
he looked like 'scape-gallows."
II happened that as Fickling was led to exc.
cuion, the surgeon general Of the army passed
accidentally on his way to his quarters which
we're at some distance off. On being tied up
to the fatal tree, the removal of the ladde
caused The rope to break, and the culprt fell to
the ground This circumstance, to man Of
better character, might have proved of advan
tage; but being universally considered as a
miscreant, from whom no good could be ex-
pected, new rope was sought for, which Lieut..
Hamilton, the adjutant Of the first regiment, a
stout and heavy man, essayed by every means,
but without effect, to break. Ficking was
then haltered, and again turned of, when, to
the astonishment of the by.standers, the rope
untwisted, and he fell second time, uninjured,
to the ground. A cry for mercy was now gen
eral throughout the ranks, which occasioned
Major Ladson, abide. camp to General Lincoln.

tation of facts, which were no sooner stated
than an immediate pardon was granted, accom-
panied with an order that he should, instanta-
neously, be drummed, with every mark of in
fanny, out of camp, and threatened with instant
death if ever he should, at any future period,
be found attempting to approach it.
In the interim the surgeon-general had es-
tablished himself at his quarters, in distant
barn, little doubling but that the catastrophe
was at an end, and Fickling quietly resting in
his grave. Midnight was at hand, and he was
busily engaged in writing, when hearing the
approach Of footstep, he raised his eyes, and
saw with astonishment the figure of man who
had, in his opinion, been executed, slowly, and
with haggard countenance, approaching towards
him. :" How how is this - exclaimed the doc.
tor. Whence came you? What do you want
with me! Were you not hanged this morning!"
"Yes, sir" replied the resuscitated man, 81 am
the wretch you saw going to the gallows, and
who aoas hanged" "Keep your distance"
said the doctor, "approach me not till you say
why you came here.' "Simply, sir" said the
supposed spectre, g to solicit food. am no

A FRrGHTFUL PICTURE,

A correspondent of the New York Evening
Gazette gives this representation of the state
of morals in that city. The picture, we ina
CINE, is not overdrawn; let it be warning to
youth of other places: n
The daily newspapers announce shocking
and alarming increase of incendiarism, burgla.
ries, and larcenies. The expenses of our courts
have marvellously increased. Our prisons are
full to repletion. Personal safety is ieopar-
died. The crowds of loafers and rowdies who
parade the streets at night, shouting and at
tackng private citizens, have compelled hun
dreds, in self.defence. to carry arms for their
protection. The number of grog- shops kept
open to late hour, are greatly increased. The
aggregate OF RIGHTEOUSNESS in the lower classes
is open, undisguised, and gross. The morals
Of the city are hourly getting worse the whole
community are becoming affected. There are
over two thousand idle, vicious boys in the city,
without trade, without control, and in summer
without home, sleeping in open yards, or in
the public buildings and Park. They gradual
ly, as they advance in age, become thieves, rob-
bers, burglars, incendiaries, and prisoners in
Sing Sing and Auburn.
Attend some of the places of public amuse-
ment, and see there a sight unparalleled in the
word-six hundred boys, who nightly attend
exhibitions OF doubtful morality, until eleven
and twelve o'clock, and then herding together
for plumber or mischief; see this, gentlemen,
and judge for yourselves; this is no fiction.
tits terrible reality.
Look at the hundreds Of young girls who
walk the streets till twelve o'clock at night
many of them under fifteen years of age-and
say if some prompt, energetic measures are not
necessary to save the city from the fate of
Sodom and Gomorrah.
