Its aspect was very dilleren from that of the schools connected witl our New-England churches. The rosj checks nnd bright eyes of this region wer< wanting, and in their place were pale ant sallow faces mid languid expressions There was a want of spirit and aniinatioi througiiout?in the teachers and scholar ?in the tones of each voice and the move nionts of each body. But still it was ? blessed place?for it is always blessed t< see a troop of young immortals with th two paths yet before them, collected t< learn the way that Jeadeth unto life. During the short period that 1 was allowc< to teach in that school, i.uuiy incid?-nfs occur red?lor in a southern climate all is ch;uig ?nothing seems to last beyond a seasoi * ?death lingers in the first warm breath ings of spring, and the pes; ilent vapors <1 disease are inhaled with the fragrance am balm of summer evening.

There was one sweet blue-eyed hov wliose quiet maimer and rneek attentive look interested me from the lirsf. If seemed to drink in instruction like water and to thirst for more when the exercise were over. "Whenever ho heard the ston of the Saviour's death and sutlerings, or o his love for little children, h;s earnest ey< would he fixed in breathless attention, til] i was dimmed with tears. We used to call hin our Utile minister, and loudly looked for ward to the time when he should preach th< "unsearchable riches of Christ." But Cor had a nobler work for his son. lb' tool him in the Inorning, and spared him tin burden and heat of the day ! The tiding of his death reached me soon after I let that part of the cotnrry. A friend tlin wrote me?" I saw him the day before hi: death. He seemed quite insensible, s< much was he occupied by his sutlerings; onct lie brightened when I spoke of his Sunday school class." ^.. There was a little girl among them alsc WkV** n /-.tii!, I nf ttui Ai'sict niv-imivii, \r;?? t V/IIUU VI ItIV lUHVOi VtlK^V* K>44V I.vv always in hor place in ail extremes o weather. One Sunday it was intensely cold?a most unusual day for a soulhcri winter?she was among the few that brav cd it?but her last lesson was said! Tha night she was attacked hy a fever, which II ^ dttys Carried her to the grave. Slu died with her little prayer-book under hci pillow, and the last ray of reason was givei to that precious volume. The same fever that bad thus thinncc my numbers, laid low a little boy belong ing to the class of a fellow teacher, whose patient labors are registered in Heaven. He was the only child of his parents? the centre of all their hopes, fears, and anxieties. lie had been attacked with unusua violence, and friends, physicians, nurses, al but?parents, felt that he must die. The disease was reaching its crisis when I went with a friend to pass th< night with the little sufferer. Deep still ness hung around the cottage. At the ex tremity of the low piazza sat two medica men in anxious consultation. The tones of their voices were low and subdued, ant the expression of each serious and doubt ful. The sick chamber was profoundly still It was difficult to recognize in the sunkei burning countenance before us the mild ant placid features of our little scholar. II ii eyes rolled wildly from side to side, and his mouth was blistered with fever. I took hi: hand and parting the curls 011 his hot brov asked him of he knew me. A loud un meaning exclamation burst from his lips which told the sad story of wandering rca son. ' The physicians separated, and lie tc whose watchful care the child had beet consigned, prepared to pass the night by hi: bed-side. The father who had anxious!) waited the result of their consultation called him aside, and asked their unitei opinion. Dr. hesitated?*4 Tell me," ex claimed the parent?" 1 do not listen in m> own strength." "We think he cannot survive,"?sak Dr. tenderly?" to-night, however, k the critical period, we have decided tipoi trying a violent remedy?I shall remaii and watch its eflect?should it be favorable he may yet be spared to you?but the hope is but slender. The father bowed his head in subnns sion, and summoning in u distant apart ment such of his family as were no engaged with the sick, he commended th< child to the arms of his Saviour. Ilis lili was asked, but with deep submission to tlx Divine will?not our will, but Thine, wa the spirit of the petition. The still vigils of the night commenced They were interrupted only by the moan of the little sufferer, who after a moment o troubled sleep, would awake to a new sens* of his distress. His mother had been per suaded to leave the room, and seek soux repose; but again and again during tlx night would she steal to the bed-side o her child, and bend over him her tear ful eyes to see if there was any cluing ?but he would shrink, and cover his fac with the clothes as if afriad of her who hai so often pillowed his infant head. The night wore away, and the firs faint light of morning found the poor chili exhausted with suffering. The cold stam] of death seemed already on his brow, an his very calmness led us to fear that a would soon be over. As we moistened hi lips and smoothed his pillow, he turned ove and appeared to be settling himself t sleep. In a few moments his soft stead; breathing fell upon ours ears. The phy sician hastened to his side, and a ray c hope crossed his face. It was a critica hour?one to which he had looked forwan with fear. Nothing could be more favor;] TT"' 11 = i ( hie than tliis quiet slumber, the first lie bail | enjoyed since bis attack. The lather came in at this moment, j j 1 His expression of anxiety bad given place . . to one of tranquil acquiescence. On bear-' t ing tlie opinion of I)r. on the pre-1 J i ceding evening, be htid surrendered his i1 f child to God, and in the fulness of his faith I 3 had been enabled to "bless the giver and j < i the taker too." j] .1 "Your care and nursing may yet yet be ii j rewarded," whispered Dr. s i 4 Give God alone the praise," exclaimed . ' the grateful parent. a ! We all stood round the bed watching the a long sleep?wc stood in prayer, waiting the ; ' e J Lord's decision. a ! After an hour or more the child opened j1 his eyes.

The Rev. Peter Powers, once minis'er ; y | m Neweut society, in the town of Lisbon, '? Conn., and whose praise still lingers in 1 s j many of the churches of Vermont, New ' '".j Hampshire, ;uid Maine, was the oldest 1 * j child of ('apt. Peter Powers, and Anna!' L>! Iiis wife. He was horn in Dunstable, N. j' * j II. November 29.1), 1728, and moved with |1 II his parents into Hollis, N. II., January, J " I 1731, at the age of two years. Captain)' j j Powers was the first settler in the town of!1 ' : Hollis and for nearly two years, his nearest j { ! ncighlior was at the travelling distance of j' imli.c. n?wl tKo 'Vrivlniri mlled iN (leer) ' ' it II IlJilV UliVt III*' * J and turbid waters between them. This j ' 1 | solitary Jhmiiy sustained all tlie hardships ] s which were incidentto pioneers in these Xew j i s | England settlements. For about twelve | J 5 years they had neitlier schools, nor a preach-11 ' I ed gospel, hut they carried with them the 1: 1 j holy scriptures, and tlic love of God in !1 j their hearts; their children were inshacted j i ) s in the principles of the gospel, and they ? t witnessed the blessednefcs of godliness in the i1 /* j ^ O i daily walk of their parents. At an early ! : | age, Peter became a devoted child of the , 1' Lord Jesus, and was endeared to his pa-'. rents by a thousand ties; for they looked , 1, to him as their lirst helper under God, and j ( 1 fondly hoped he would he their support and j. '! solace in old age. But as Peter grew in : | r years, a flame was kindled in his breast, j | 1 which could neither be extinguished, nor j j suppressed,?and his parents often heard < ^ him express an ardent desire to enjoy the ! < i advantages of an academic and collegiate j < i < rrlnoation: hut as these seemed altogether ' i | incompatible with their circumstances, and ; j "! militated against their previous arrange- j " ' mcnts for this world, those desires of the ! j 1 i son were treated by the parents as visiona- i; ' j ry and inadmissible, and lor a time no hit- ] ; man car was offended by the importunities ; , '?i of the son, and the parents hoped that the j ? i subject was relinquislted and forgotten by ; j j liiin, until it was revived to them in tlie lbi- i j j lowing manner.?These parents were of j t ' j the puritan strictness in the government of 11 5 j their family, and neither sons, nor their ,1 ' j daughters, were allowed in ordinary cases, js ' to be absent from the family at nine o'clock | : in the evening, which was the hour for! prayer. But it appeared on a calm sum- j 1 j mer's evening, that Peter was absent at the j ^ I iiour of prayer, nor did he apjicar, when it j{ s | was necessary to close and secure the j1 51 house from the intrusion of the Indians, j, 5 The parents passed the night in sleepless < ' forebodings. At one time they trembled i ; in view of his having fallen a victim of In- 1 > j dian treachery nud violence, and their ima- 1 " i ginations presented him pierced, and lacer- I ' ated upon the ground, or hurried away into ) | a captivity more appalling than death; at 1 j another time they were vexed with the ap5; prehension, that their son had for the first j ' time absented himself in open disregard of j. ! tlieir views and feelings. The night was ; j ' i at length spent, and the father rose at the [. ! dawn of day; and as he unbarred the door! \ i he saw his young son emerging from the ! ] " j forest, and approaching the dwelling with a ' i I solemn and downcast look. The father j ' ' beheld his son with the mixed emotion of 51 joy and resentment?-joy, because he re- j, 1 ceivcd him safe and sound?resentment, be. j 1 ' cause he supposed there was no adequate ' - i cause to justify his conduct?vet he re. ] ; ! strained himself, and called for no explapa- i' i tion until the hour of prayer, when lie was j j accustomed to administer reproof, if it was i * ! necessary. The family being seated, and i ( 1 ; a portion of scripture having been read, the 11 J lather paused?and fixing a reproving look :( L' j upon Peter, said, " where did you spend ' ? I the night, Peter ?" The son was exceed- ! s ingly embarrassed, and did not return a | prompt and explicit answer. The father | . , more sternly repeated?"Peter, where did j s | you spend the night?" The son faintly f and meekly replied, while the tears coursed I e down his cheeks?I spent it in the woods j sir." " In * the woods," said the father! e " ho:c did you spend it ?" " In prayer, sir." j n A pause of a moment succeeded, and tiie ' 1'! subdued soul of the father rushed to the eye j -1 to seek the relief which utterance now denied, > e ! But soon the father resumed the inquiry, & ! e in an altered and affectionate manner, said? j i " My son, wha*. were you praying for, during the night!"?" That I might go to :t college," said the son ; "What would you J go to college for, Peter ?"?" That I may p be prepared to preach the gospel to sin-' d ners." The father turned and looked 11 upon Anna his wife, in the deepest emos tion, hut did not speak. As soon as he t possessed the power of utterance, he led in 0 devotion, and when the sendee was closed,; y and Peter had gone out the father said to - Anna in a soft and tremulous voice, " I do >f not see but wc must give up the matter, il and let Peter go to college !" 1 The result was a collegiate course, a!, life of eminent usefulness?a triumnhant; . - '* . leuth ; find that eternal reward, wluch is I roinised lo those who turn many to right-! ousjicss.

' Dn PETERS VEGITABLE ANTI BILI.IOUS j ! TILLS Tlicse Pills need but a trial to recommend I them. Thcv ore purely vegetable and well calculated for the removal of all Dillious complaints. Tlicy act specially upon the Liver, when in a torpid condition, carrying olf a large quantity of bile, through tho influence of the excernent fune- j tioiif which, if suffered to remain in tho system, j would produce either Jaundice, Liver Complaint,? j Hillious Fever, Fever and Ague, or some other ! ' grievous bodily alHiction. In all eases of torpor j | of the bowels, they act like a charm. In recent} ' cases of I>yspepsia, they are a certain cure, dfa- [ nv nersons who were subject to violent attacks ; of sick head ache, have been much benefitted, and several perfectly cured in a few weeks by their use. They are highly recommended as a preventive and euro of iiillious complaints. Persons who arc subject to that distressing complaint, ! seasickness, by taking a portion or two of them ' u few days-previous to embarking on board the j vessel, will be almost certain to escape it. lej males can use them at any period, without in. j currilig any risk. Persons going to sea, or to a ! southern climate, should hy all means take some | of these Pills with them.?Their virtues will re. main unimpaired for years in any olimate. >?o family should be without these Pills ; a portion of them, taken occasionally would be the means of i preventing much sulFeriug from sickness. It is j from neglect of keeping up a regular pcrisialtic j action of the stomach and bowels, thus suffering I to be absorbed and mingled with tho blood, unas- J similatcd fluids, that mo^t diseases arc produced. I)r. P. feels confident that no person who gives ; these Pills a fair trial, will ever after feel willing I to be without them. The testimony of thou1 sands speaking in the highest trrnis of their effi' cacy, might be added, but the very high reputaj tion Dr. 1\ lias acquired as the inventor of tho "Patent Vegetable Medicine Stomochice et Hei pat ice" for the cure of Dyspepsia and Liver I complaints, is thought a sufficient guarantee to | those wishing to make a trial of their virtues, i They contain not a particle of.lfercury, or any | ingredient that docs not act in harmony with ! health and oppose disease. i Dr. P. wishes it distinctly understood, that : these Pills possess beneficial qualities indopenI dent of their purgative effects ; they arc both ton. ic and deobstruent, acting upon the secreting and exhalent functions ; thus strengthening tho pa I tient, while they rcmovo obstructions?Modi- ; i eincs which possess no other, excepting cathar- J tic qualities, debilitate the patient, and their rc' peatcd use lays the foundation of a long cata-!
