Persecution OfMe Qaahers'

Persecution OfHe Q"dhers'
1t was in the month of July,
1856, (according to the histori'
an Bancroft,) that two of the
"rpople called Quakers, Ma,
lv Fisher and Anne Austin,-
arrived in Boston. AS yet,
there was no statute respecting
Quakers; but on the general
law against heresy, ther trunks
were searched and their books
burned by the hangman;
though no token could be
found on them bnt Of inno-
cence,' their persons were ex-
amined for signs of witchcraft;
and, after five weeks close i'm
prisonment, they were thrust
out of the jurisdiction. Eight
others were, during the year,
sent back to England. The re-
buke enlarged the ambition of
Mary Fisner; she repaired alone
to Adrianople, and delivered a
letter to the Grand Sultan
The Turks offered her not the
slightest indignity, and she
passed through their army

cord, is humbug, and any person oil
sense ought to know it. As to taxing
watches and jewelry, we don't do IT.
that is, the best Of us don't-unless we
are hard up. Some poor sticks make q
business Of stealing watches, but they
are inferior. If We want mans watch
we manage pretty much the same as If
we were after his money. No; we don't
cut the chain. We get the watch out OF
his pocket easy enough, and twist the
ring out of it. Some of the old-fashion-
cd ones have the ring riveted, and make
loud snap; but the whole thingis easy.
Then we get new rings put in and have
the numbers altered christening we
call it-and sell them to the fences. -
For watch worth 5000, we get
from forty to fifty dollars. Silver watches
we don't bother with. Chains we rarely
get except by force, and they amt worth
much unless solid, then we have them
melted down, as we also sometimes have
the cases.
We take money from a mans inside
coat, or vest pocket, and we can easily
tell whether q man is worth following,
two or three days or not. The principle
of the whole thing is, that a man having
an unusually large amount of money on
his person will be so careful of it that
he will often feel to see whetherit is safe.
Besides knowing these men we watch
them, and so learn which ones are the
most promising. Sometimes, too, those
operators who stay in New York or 9TH
er large cities are informed by bankers
clerks and others-they get small
share, about five per cent. of the gains
of certain merchant or banker hav-
in his possession large sum if this is
known, the man very likely loses his
money.
The average amount taken from a
mans pocket isn'tso very much. l have
followed man two or three days with
my pals, and only got five or six dollars
from him, because hekept the bulk ofhis
money in drafts. We get Slipped up in
that way once in while. Then, again,
| have 'raked in as much as three thou,
sand dollars. But good average is
twenty dollars and that is very good in
ordinary times"

the first artists of the country are per-
feet "gems of art" We have space to
describe but two of them. The first is
''The Night Watch in Mount Seir." Be-
side one of the mountain passes, with
grand peaks towering, crag upon crag,
on either side, stands the watch-tower,
with its solitary Waterman. just through
the pass can be seen the first bright
streak of approaching dawn. At the
foot of the pass, wholly shaded by the
overhanging crags, party of travellers
are encamped. They cry out to the
Waterman: "Watchmen, what of the
night" and down through the pass
comes reverberating that cheering cry,
'The morning cometh." Again we pass
on down the ages to the time when the
long looked-for morning had come, and
the Son of Righteousness had arisen with
healing His beams" Befordus is lone
mountain side, and PROSTATE form
kneeling on its uncushioned rock. The
pale moonbeams creep among the crags,
just revealing their barrenness, the stars
shine dimly overhead; hugenight bird
flaps his wings and alone breaks the
stiffness of the midnight hour; but
glory surrounds the lowly form-it is
Jesus, for at came to pass in those days
that He went out into mountain to
pray, and continued all night in prayer
to God" IL was a sublime scene, and
the representation before us tends to
awaken the most devote reflections.
We love to dwell upon the scenes por-
trayed in these illustrations; and we feel
that no one can fail to be benefited, both
by these truthful andimpressive pictures,
and by the earnest words of the writer.

derstand its lessons of wisdom and love,
