HOW THE MONEY COMES.

Queer John has sung how money goes,
Butshow it comes who knows VINO KNOW
Wbv eyery Yankee mothers son
Can tell Won how 1.-The thing is done.
II comes by honest toll and trade;
By welding sledge and driving SPADE,
And building ships, balloons, and drums;
And that's the way the money comes
How does it Gomez Why, as it goes,
By spinning, weaving, knitting hose,
By stitching shirts and coats for Jews,
Erecting churches, renting pews,
And manufacturing boots and shoes;
FOR thumps and twists and cuts, and hues,
And heads and hearts tongues lungs and thumbs,
And that's the way the money comes.
How does it come? The way is plain
By raising cotton, corn and cane;
BY wind and steam, lightning and rain;
BY guiding ships across the main
BY building bridges roads and dams,
And sweeping streets and digging clans
With whistles, his and hos and huns
And that's the way the money comes
The money comes-how did l say?
Not Arrays in an honest way;
1t comes by tricE as well as toll,
But how is thatl why, slick as oil,
By putting peas in coffee bags;
BY swapping watches, knives and nags,
And peddling 1coodelt clocks and yi1snas.
And that's the way the money comes.
How does it come wait, let Ine see,
It very seldom comes to me;
1t comes by rule, guess, aud scale,
Sometimes by riding on o rail-
But oftener, that's the way it goes
From silly bellies and fast young beau1;
1t comes in big, nay, little Sums,
Aye that's the way the money comes.
Raftsman's journal. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1854-1948, 1860-02-15

| these displeased him. l should say, to give
him his due, that he allowed his own particu-
| lar rib to return to the community as an hum
bic companion, on her earnest entreaty. She
| is the mother of his six children, who are all
living with him.
Meanwhile all the ssWhite Quakers'' bitter
ly abhorred and denounced the sBlack Qua
kers,' and refused to hold any intercourse
with them on any terms-looking on them as
apoStateS and enemies OF all good. No ties of
kindred or friendship shielded any from this
condemnation !; mothers left their grown-up
children and grandchildren, husbands their
wives, and wives their husbands and children,
denouncing and inveighing all sorts of bitter
things against all their old acquaintances who
were rmprepared to ssgo the whole hog'' with
them. They threw their property into CON-
mon fund, and made Joshua Jacob their chan
cellor of the excheQuer. as well as the keeper
of their consciences. y sIster-in-law OF j oSh-
ua's, being left widow with five children and
80, 900, threw the whole OF the money into
their treasury at his instigation; and when he
was summoned before the Court of Chancery
to explain this appropriation OF the property
of orphans, who, as such, are its wards, he re-
fused to appear, and was sent TO prison for
contempt of court. There he lay for many
years, attended by his faithful friend and fel-
low laborer, Abigail Beale, with whom he o.
penly contracted a Platonic union.
1t was during his incarceration that he a
dopted the patriarchal habit OF wearing his
beard-and now he has fine long one, and so
have all his masculine followers. Previous to
this Imprisonment, the little community were
interchangeable in the distribution OF tracts and
papers in explanation OF their views, relating
their sufferings and prosecutions, and dcnoun-
cling all their foes in fact, ssdealing damna-
tion round the land,' and terribly hot and hea-
Wy against the unhappy s'Black Quakers,' spa
ring neither age nor sex, ignorance or inno-
oence. Joshua and his followers have been
hailed out of steep-houses, mobbcd in the
streets, brought up before magistrates, mocked
at by silly people in the highways, and by the
more respectable (behind his bacll) in drawing
rooms. In short, they suffered avery sufficient
share OF petty martyrdom, and they rejoiced
accordingly. During the Imprisonment OF
their leader they subsidized good deal, became
a very quiet set of bodies, and are now hardly
spoken of even in the 'ssocIety," which they
once convulsed to such an extent that they
formed the staple subject of the gossip at quar-
terly meetings, and on all occasions when it is
customary or proper for people to gossip at all.

AN AMERICAN STATESMAN.

The following sketch of Hon. Edward Bates,
OF Missouri, by the st. Louis correspondent of
the n. Y. Times, will be read with interest =
Mr.. Bates is a native OF Virginia, and is a.
bout sixty five years of age. He came here
ct twenty years of age, and soon engaged in
the practice of law. He was one OF the dele
gates who framed the constitution OF Missouri,
and such was mis- prominence, even at this
early period, that he was selected as the first
Attorney General Of the State. Since that
time he has for the most part devoted himself
to his profession, though he has been mem
ber of Congress and Judge of the State
Courts, and has held various other high Offices
rendered to him, both local and national. He
married most estimable lady of North Car
olina, by whom he has had numerous family
of sons and daughters, eight OF whom are
still living. The oldest son is lawyer of
very eminent abilities, though he is chiefly
devoted to farming in the vicinity of st. Louis.
Another is physician, and others are qualify
ing themselves for various pursuits.
Mr. Bates lives in plain though large and
handsome brick house, recently erected on a
commanding site, four miles west of st. Louis.
His style Of living is simple but generous, the
administration OF the household being conduc.
ted with the utmost order and system. His
table has all the abundance characteristic OF
the teeming " est the meal is never tasted
till the blessing is asked from on high. At
an early hour in the morning, the family, SER
wants and all. summoned by the big bell, are
collected in the parlor. Here chapter in the
Holy Book is read, and the prayer offered.
Family prayer also closes the duties and
pleasures of the day.
In person Mr.. Bates is a little below the
middle height, but of substantial form. His
general aspect presents a mixture of modesty
and dignity. His hair and beard are full, and
siIyered over in patches; his countenance is
cheerful and lively, and during animated con-
versaton exhibits rapid transitions with the
play of his mind. His brow is prominent. and
his eye piercing, manifesting high develop
ment of the perceptive faculties. He is elo-
quent by nature, and is one of the most finish
ed orators OF the Great West; as lawyer he
stands in the front rank.
Though Mr.. Bates, as well from taste as the
claims of large family, has summed political
life, he is still known and regarded as pro-
found statesman, acquainted with the history
of ancient and modern governments, and es-
pecaly familiar with thatof our own country.
On these subjects he has long been copious
and influential writer. In connection with him,
have been particularly struck, not only with
his mass OF political facts, but with his pow
ers of analysis, and the force and felicity with
which he seizes and presents the genius of po-
litical systems subjected to his consideration.
