AN ANCIENT DOCUMENT.

At late meeting of the Pennsylvania Historical
Society. The following epistle was read, and en-
rolled amongst the curiosities of the institution
From Women friends at the yearly meeting held
at Burlington the 2lst of the 9Th month, 1926.
From Women ffrieads at several quarterly and
monthly meetings belonging to the same, Greet

Dear and well beloved Sisters.
a weighty concern coming upon many faithful
Friends at this meeting in relation to divers undue
liberties that are too frequently taken, by some
that walk among us and are accounted of us; we
are willing, in the pure love of truth which hath
mercitully visited our souls, tenderly 20 caution
and advise our friends against those things which
we think inconsistent with our ancient Christian
testimony of plainness in apparel, cts, some Of
which we think proper to particularize-
AS first, that immodist fashion Of hopping petit
coats, or the limitation of them, either by some
thing put into their petticoats to make them set
full, or wearing more than is necessary, or any
other immitatiOn whatsoever, which we take to be
but a branch s~pringing from the same corrupt root
of pride. And also that none of our friends &C.
custom themselves to wear their gowns with super
iluous folds behind, but plain and decent; nor to
go without aprons, nor to wear superluous gathers
or plaits in their caps or Primers, nor to wear their
heads DRESSED high behind; neither to cut or lay
their hair on their forehead or temples.
And that friends be careful to avoid wearing
striped shoes, or red or width healed shoes or
clogs; or shoes trlmed with gaudy cOlOTs.
Likewise, that all Friends be careful to avoid
superhuity of furniture in their houses, and as
much as may be 20 refrain using gaudy Powered
or striped callicoes and stufs.
And also that no friends use that irrevercnt
practice of taking sn uff, or handing snuff boxes one
TO another in meetings.
Also that friends avoid tho unnecessary use Of
fans in meetings lest in divert the mind from the
more inward and spiritual exercise which all ought
to be concerned in.
And also that friends do not accustom themselves
to go with bare breasts or bare necks.
There is likewise Il tender concern upon our
minds to recommend unto all friends the constant
use of plain language, ect., being a branch of our
ancient Christian testimony, for which many of our
worthy Elders underwent deep sdfferings in their
day, as they likewise did because they could not
give tho common salutations by bowling and cring-
ing the body, which we earnestly desire friends
may be careful to avoid.
And we further tenderly advise and exhort that
all friends be careful 10 MAINTAIN love and unity,
and to watch against whisperings and evil surmIs.
ings Que against another and to keep in h humility,
that nothing be done through strife or vain glory
and that those who are concerned to take an over,
sight over the flock, do it not as lords over Gods
heritage, but as servants to the churches.

to your care and notice, in Il degree Of thar divine

TRUTH.

Oh seek for Truth
O.. Win thou the threshold Of her halls
In age or youth,
Seek her still whate'er tefalls.
Rich is the feast she freely spreads
And round her broad time-honor,d heads,
Who sought her long and won her well,
In peace and JOY forever dwell.
Shrink not from toll
Truth, rich and lovely, oft upsprings
Or poorest soil
Ger deserts she her perfume filings!
Sweet the reward by labor won;
And calm that sleep when day Is done,
OF those who toll the truth to find,
With ready hand and earnest mind.
Heed not the scorn
OF worldly men who dwell around
But, night and morn,
Worship the truth wher'er tits found
Truth seekers ever were reviled
But hoaest face and accent mild
Prevail against ighoLle pride,
And turn the yenom'd shaft aside.
Fear not to scan
The deep profound, or mountain height
Heed not the man
Who drawls out creeds to keep thee right
Examine all creeds old or new;
Test all with Reason through and through,
For God in bounty, reason gave,
From errors gloom our souls to save.
Swcrye not aside!
Thy rule of duty sketch Alright
Then true abide:
InQuiring still, with ardor bright.
Like cloudiet's shadow on the stream,
Or passing GRIFFIN childhood's dream,
Shall be the ills and woes OF earth
To him who knows of truth the worth.

So wilt thou faithless from ne part
With all thy glorious dreams so high,
With griefs and joys that filed the heart,
With all inexorably ny2
Can naught, sweet time, lilc's golden day,
Thy parting hour delay to me?
In vain thy HAYES still haste away
To that dark sea--eternity(
All quenehed ere now those suns serene
That beamed upon my pathway fair
Vhe ideals, with enhancing mein,
Are melted in the silent air;
IT'S gone that sweet faith Of a day,
In beings bright of which | dreamed
To cold reality a prey
All that so fair and god-like seemed.
AS erst with warm and long embrace
Pygmalion clasped the lifeles stone,
Till in The marbles death-cOld face
Deep feeling glowed to meet his own
So twined 1 Nature in my arms
With young desire, and her caresSed,
Till she began, with living charms,
To breathe upon my poet-breast.
And sharing thoughts that in me burned,
The silent found II language dear
The kiss of love to me returned,
And every heart-tone paused to hear.
Then lived for me the tree, the rose,-
With silver fall the fountain sang.
And cen the s%oulless from repose
Awoke as round life's echo rang.
Then with almighty efforts spread
"A restless soul the narrow breast
In deed and word abroad TO tread,
Painting for aye in wild unrest.
How fair this world was fashioned ere
The hidden bud to burst was seen
How little hath unfolded there
That little, oh how poor and mean
By bravest courage winged now,
O'erjoyed, in fancy's dreams OF play,
Without & care to cloud his brow,
How sprang the youth upon life's way.
Fen to the blue airs palest star
Ambition bore him wild and %free,-
Naugbt was so high and naught so far
But reached her wings its radiancy
TO all how lightly was he borne,--
TO him what burden was toe sore?
How danced before life's car at morn
The convoy gay-and still before
Love with his guerdon sweet was there.
And Fortune with her garland bright,
And Fame with starry crown so fair.
And Truth in sunlike splendor white,
But. oh upon life's middle way
That convoy light we're seen to flee!
They faithless turned their steps away
And one by one were lost to mel
Lipht-footed Fortune heartless fed
Unauenched the thirst for love Of youth
And doubts dark clouds their shadows she'
Around the sunny fcrm of Truth.
! saw the holy crown of Fame
Defled upon the common brow.
All all to soon--a fleeing name
Vanished Loves time forever now
And stiIler grew, and yet more still,
The lonely and forsaken way,
And Hope scarce cast, through clouds OF l
Upon nay path her pafeSt ray
OF all that gay and joyous train
Who fingered loving, ever near,
Consoling me, mid shadows vain,
Unto to the gloomy House Of fear{
Thou, Friendship, with thy gentle hand,
Who healest every feverish wound,
who shar'st life's burdens-mild and bIan
Thou whom | early sought and found.
And thou who glad with her art wed,
While heavy storms are lowering there,
Dear Industry, unwearied,
Slow toiling yet destroying ne'er,-

But mite for mite, mid gloom and tears.
Yet from the mighty &ebt of time

Frightening a Squatter.

About thirteen years ago, when the now -four
ishing city of Hannibal, on the Mississippi river,
was but wood yard, surrounded by a Few huts
belonging to the hardy sduatters, and such thing
as a steamboat was considered quite sight, the
following incident occurred: h."
A tall, brawny woodsman stood leaning against
tree upon the bank of the river, and gazing at
some approaching object which easily might be
discovered to be steamboat.
About half an hour elapsed and the boat was
moored and the hands busily engaged in taking
on wood.
Now, among the many passengers was a spruce
young dandy with killing moustache, &C., who
seemed bent on making an impression by some he
roic deed. ss,.f
Observing our squatter friend, he imagined this
to be fine opportunity to bring himself into no
tice. So stepping into the cabin he said
Ladies, if you want I'd enjoy good laugh, step
out into the guards. intend to frighten that gen
tleman into fits who now stands on the bank"
The ladies complied with the request and the
dandy drew from his pocket formidable knife and
thrust it into his belt; then taking large horse
pistol in each hand he strobe on shore
Marching up to the woodsman, he exclaimed;--
"Found you at last, have II You are the fel
low I've been looking after these three long weeks
Say your prayers, (he cbntinued presenting his pis-
tolls you'll make capital barn-doo and shall
drill the key-hole myself"
The squatter calmly surveyed him moment and
then drawing back a step, he planted his huge fist
directly between the eyes of his antagonist, who
in a moment was Aoundering in the midst Of the
turbid waters of the Mississippi. 9sta
Every passenger on the boat had by this time
collected on the guards, and the crest-fallen hero
as he was sneaking off towards the boat, was thus
accosted by his conqueror. a 'p

The Nose uitO King.

: u. 4
In his lecture on Nicaragua, At the Lyccarn Hall
on Monday night Dr. McBean gave an amuaing
account Of ali Interview be once had With tho
Young Mosquito King who was dressed in the full
costume of his country, TO wit StSw hat and a
cigar The young sovereign said th4t his father,
the old King Bob was very drunk when he sold
his lands to Captain Sheppard, of Greytowp, and
that therefore the grant sale not valid. This
is the grant which Colonel Kinney has purchased,
and under which he claims vast region Of terri
tory. 1t is about as valid AS the English claim to
Greytown and the MosGhito coast, and neither
party appears to have consulted the governments
of Nicaragua, the only real and undoubted owner.
This old King Bob, by the way, was curiosity.
He was excessively fond of rum and tobacco, in
which he was supplied by the English from ia
maica- About the time the latter first began to
turn their serious attention to the acquisition OF
territory in Central America, King George Ill sent
his sable brother a richIy-ornamented Generals
coat and cooked hat. King Bob was excessively
delighted with bis present. and took every occa-
sion to exhibit himself In his new dress. The cap
tain Of the Epglish war vessel which conveyed the
present, wishing to do honor to the recipient OF
his soyereigns bounty, gave grand entertainment
on board, and invited King Bob and his court to
be present. The latter came, and they approach
ed the vessel the captain gratifed to perceive
that King Bob was dressed in the coat and hat he
and CONSERVATION Of all to perceive, when he board.
ed the vessel, that be had nothing, else on. The
ludicrous appearance shich the old Indian must
have presented, dressed in richly -aced red coat
with tails hanging down behind, and fullpluned
cooked hat and no other article whatever can be
better imagined than described His court Of
course, wore only the Usual straw hat.
Among the productions of Nicaragua, enumera
ted by DR.. Mclean, none appeared to be more val
liable than the different varieties of woods. In
addition to the mahogany and others well known
in commerce, there Is one kind, the name of which
we could not catch, but which, when polished, ,,ex
| actly resembles rich green velvet. The lecturer
| stated that he had seen set Of furniture nade o
this wood, and nothiug could exceed it for richness
| and effect. Another species, also common, looks
| when properly prepared, like piece of fawn-col
ored watered silk The lecturer thought that any
person with capital, who should take down
saw-mill, would make rapid fortune. mi
