Mrs. Greer, after being for forty years a
member of Friends Society, broke loose, and
ho,o arc her disclosures of Quakerism. 1t
would seem that, during all these long years of
silent meetings She like Tam O'Shanter's wife,
enursed her wrath to keep it warm" 1t is
hook which Friends will certainly read, but
which it will task their utmost kindness not to
mt into the fire at the close.

BucHASAN's JOURNAL OF MAN. May, 1853.
We have, in this number, an article entitled
Vaughan and Davis" which is interesting to
those who have any belief in the inspiration of
the Seer Of Pc keepse" Mr.. Vaughan pub
lshed in January last, in the Journal Of Man,
On article on Rain, which Mr. Davis repro
duced as his own in the Hartford Times on
the 10Th and goth February. When Mr. Davis
was in Cincinnati, he received from DIR. Bulk
ley a copy of the Journal for January, who
called his attention to this paper; and he then
protessed to be unwilling to speak of it until
he could examine it in his superior state"
He has done so; and wonderful as it may seem
to the believers in the Revelations Of Andrew
Jackson DAVIS he has used the thoughts and
the language of Mr.. Vaughan, who protests
AGAINST having his scientific labors thus appro-
pnaed, even by one who claims a new species
0fnsprGton.
