Religious Denominations. PrleaAa, or Q ankers. This tret first mads Its appearance about the vsar l64?.ot 1643, through tha ministry of a person of the nm of George Pox, a native of Prayton, in Lelceaterahire, and by trade glatirr and a ahepherd, at least in hia early years. Observing the licentionanesa of many persona professing the Christian name, he boldly went forth, and preached with mnch animation, though not always, perhaps, with sufficient prodence, against injusiice, drunkenness, and other vices; at the same time inveighiug bitterly

necvssary to the performance of the highest act of which the human mind Is capable; even the worship of the Father of lights and spirits. Therefore they consider as obstructions to pure worship all forms which divert the attention of the mind from the secret Influence of this unction from the Holy One. Though there be not a word apoken, yet ia the true spiritual worship performed, and the body of Christ edified. "It does not foltow, because nothing is said, that God ia not worshipped. The Quakers, on the other hand, contend, that their silent meetings form thesublimeat part of their worship. The soul, they say, can have intercourse with God; it can feel refreshment, joy, and comfort in him; it can praise and adore him, and all this, without the intervention of a word." Thev

the magistrates, who, in the year 1649, sent him

to prison at Nottingham. His persecutions on tome occasions were extremely rigorous ami severe. After Fox, there sprung up a succession of men who adhered to hia doctrines, with a zeal and constancy truly laudable, throngh persecutions and oppressions of the severest nature; and which nothing but a consciousness of doty an tiuhaken piety, and an unconquerable spirit of Christian fortitude, could have enabled them to sustain; and now, truly may it be said they hive survived the fire of persecution they have subdued the virulence of bigotry they have silenced the tongues of gainsay ers they have conqnerad "the world's dread laugh" thev have lived to command the respect to

extort eveu from the most profane the meed of applause, and to merit, in many respects, the approbation of the whole Christian wo rid; so that it is now as honourable, and as creditable, to an individual to be known as a steady member f the Quakers' Society, as of most other reli- j gious denominations. The appellation of Quakers was given by way of coRtempt; some say on account of the tremblings under the impression of divine things which appeared in their public assemblies; but they themselves say it was first given them by one of the magistrates who committed George Fox to prison, on account of his bidding him and those ebout him to tremble at the word of

the Lord. Whatever was the origiu of the

name, it became their usual

though they themselves adopted the appellation of Friends. 1. They believe that God is one, and their ia nont other beside him; and that this one God il Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. 2. They believe that Christ is both God and Mania wonderful union; God uncreatad, and Manconceivad by the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. 3. They believe the scriptures to be of divina authority, given by the inspiration of God through holy men: that they are a declaration ef those things most surely believed by the primHive Christians; and that they contain the mind and will of God, and are his commands to us; in that respect they are his declaratory word, and therefore are obligatory on us. "Nevertheless, rays (Penu) because they are only a declaration of the fountain, and not the fountain itself, they are not to be esteemed the principal ground of all truth and knowledge, nor the primary rule

of faith and manners; yet, because they area trne and faithfui testimony of the first foundation, they are and may be esteemed a secondary rule, subordinate to the Spirit, from whom they have all their excellence and certainty." "They object to calling the scriptures the word of God, as being a name applied to Christ, the eternal Word, by the sacred writers themstlvcj. "4. On the doctrine of original siu, it appears, from the writings ofPenn and others, that they hold nearly similar opinions to otlur orthodox Christians. "5. Respectiug the doctrines of sauctification

equnlly allow such of them as they believe to be endued with a right qualification for the ministry, to exercise their gifts for the general edification of the church. "11. Baptism, they say. is a pure and spiritual thing; to wit, the baptism of the Spirit and fire, by which we are buried with Christ, that being washed and purged from our sins, we may walk in newness of life; of which the baptism of John was a figure, commanded for a time, and not to continue forever. "With respect to the other rite, termed the Lord's Supper, they believe that the communlou of the body and blood of Christ is spiritual, which is his participation of his flesh aud blood, and by which the inward man is daily nourished in the hearts of those iu whom Christ dwvlls. But this cannot be understood of outward eating of outward bread: and as by this the soul

must have fellowship with God, so also, so far j as all the saints are partakers of this one bodyami one blood, they have a joint communion.

"From the same sacred collection of the most excellent precepts of moral and religious duty, from the example of our Lord himself, and from the corresponding convictions of ti is Spirit iu their hearts, they are confirmed iu the belief, that wars and fightings are in their origin and

effects utterly repugnant to the spirit and doc

trines of Christ, who by excellency is called the Prince of Peace. "They affirm that it is not lawful for Christians either to give or receive such flattering titles of honour, as your holines, your Majesty, yonr Excellency, ic. Neither do they think it right to use what are commonly called compliments; such as your humble servant, your most obedient servant, &.c. They affirm that it is not lawful for Christians to kneel, or pros

trate themselves to any man, or to bow the body, or to uncover the head to them; because

kneeling, bowing, and uncovering the head, is

the only outward signification or our adoration towards God; and, therefore, it is not lawful to

give it unto mau. They affirm that it is not

lawful lor Christians to use such superfluities iu

apparel as are of no use, save for ornament and

vanity. That it is not lawful to use games, snorts, or plays, among Chrlstisns, under the

notion of recreation, which do not agree with

Christian gravity and sobriety; for sporting, gaming, mocking, jesting, vain talking, &c., are

not consonant with Christian liberty nor harm less inirlli.

marriages are allowed: tor in is society nas always scrupled to acknowledge the exclusive authority of the prieots to marry. Their marriages are solemnized in a public-meeting for worship; aud the monthly meeting keeps a record of them; as also of the births and burials of its members. This society does no, allow its members to sue each other at law; it therefore enjoins all to end thei r differences by speedy and

impartial arbitration, agaeeably to the rules laid down; and if they refuse to act according to these rules, they are disowned.

The Friends are chiefly to be found in Great Britain aud Ireland, and in North America. In 1GS1 King Charles the second granted to William Penn, in lieu of arrears due his father Admira I Peun, a large tract of land in North America, since called Feunsylvauia alter hia name; and it

is remarkable, that all the settlements ot tne Europeans in America, except the Quaker settlement ef Pennsylvania, were made by force of arms, with very little regard to any prior title ia the natives. We may well commend the mild creed, and

universal charity, or fraternal love, of the Quakers, though aomo have thought that a natiou

of Quakers could not exist, except ail nations

were of the same persuasion. 1 o this, however, it haa beeu said by one of their writers, that any

nation actually possessing and practising lnristian principles, may be contented with the pro

tection ol Heaven, which can always bud means

to protect what it brings to pass. However few of other denominations may be disposed to

th ink well ol meir religious opinions, or or many of their peculiar customs, it cannot be denied that the Quakers, as members of society, are a respectable body; and that, though thev have

church not only without sacraments, but even without a priesthood, and a government without head, they are perhaps the best organized, and most unanimous religious society in the world. Their benevolence, moral rectitude, and commercial punctuality have excited, and long secured to them, very general esteem; and it has been well observed, that in th multitudes that compose the vast legiona of vagrants and street beggars, not a single Quaker can be found. At the present day, the Quakers both in

principal branches oozing out gum, and the tree looking feeble and sickly. Nature has fitted the upper surface of leaves to bear the most powerful sunshine;

nd the constant perspiration through this

upper surface of the foliage keeps them comparatively cool. But it is not so with

the bark; and if the stem of a delicate tree

s exposed to those iniense rays of the sun,

feebleness or disease must inevitably fol-

ow.

I have had a striking proof of this truth

efore my eves the past month. Border-

ng; my garden walk are two rows of fruit

frees, each row containing six apricots and

welve peaches. The- were both planted

five years axo. One of these rows had been headed back, s i as to keep the trees

quite bushy and low, the lower branches

starting; out within a few inches of the

ground. This was done to test more completely the shortening in pruning, and

before I knew the value of shading the

roots."

1 he other row has been crown in the

usual way, as standards, that is, the trees have been trimmed nearly as one's head,

so as to leave the trunk and lower branches

fully exposed to the sun for a good part

ot lhe day.

The difference between these two rows! the

of trees is a very remarkable one, even to XI

the general observer. The low headed trees, in the first place, are unusually full of folliage, the leaves themselves are large, and the shoots luxuriant; and trees have

that dark green look which is the unmistakable sign of good health. The crop of fruit is healthy, and hangs on well, and

promises to be large and excellent.

1 he high headed trees, whose trunks

art exposed, are, some of them, in excellent health; bnt none of them compare in

richness of foliage with the low headed

ones; and about two-thirds of them have

a stunted and feeble appearance. Two of the peaches and three of the apricots havel died with "gum," and they all show a meagre growth, when contrasted with those in the other row. Besides. I find, since the two 'spells" of very hot weather that have occurred this summer, these bare

stemmed trees are gradually shedding a considerable portion of their fruit.

To satisfy myself more completely of

the positively injurious effect of the sun

on the trunks ot trees, and on the roots

where the soil is not shaded by the spread

ing branches, 1 covered the ground be

ncath one of these bare stemmed trees

with litter four inches thick, and bound

few handfuls of straw around the trunk,

to guard it from the sun.

I find this tree more healthy than any

other in the row, making luxuriant shoots, and holding its fruit well, and not appear

ing the least affecled by hot or dry mid-'

summer. I am, therefore, a warm advocate of the practice of giving all small trees low heads, so as completely to si ade both the trunks and roots. And I offer you the foregoing

facts for the consideration of v our readers
