From tho Boston Evening Courier. [The following- lines were written on occasion of the accidental meeting, a few evenings since, of all the surviving members of a family, the father and mother of which (one eighty-two the other eighty years old) have lived in the same house Jiffy-three years.] THE FAMILY MEETING. We are all here ! Father, mother, Sister, brother. All who hold each other dear, F*ach chair is tilled, we 're all at hnm \ To night let no cold stranger come; It is not often thus around 1 < >ur old familiar hearth we 're found. Bless then the meeting and the spot, For once be evcrv care forgot; Let gentle peace asse.it her power, And kind affection rule the hour; \Y e 're all?all here. We 're no? nil hero ! Some are away?the (lead ones dear. Who thronged with us this ancient hearth, And gave the hour of guiltless mirth. Fate, with a stern, relentless hand. Looked in and thinned our little ban 1. Some like a night-flash passed away. And some sank, lingering, day bv day. The quiet grave-yard?some lie there, And cruel Ocean lias Ids share? We're not all here. We ar* all here! Even they?the dead?though dead, so dear. Fond memory, to her duty true, Brings back their faded forms to view. How life-like through the mist of years. Each well remembered face appears ; W e see them as in times long past, From each to each kind looks are cast; We hear their words, their smiles behold. They're round us as thev were of old ? We are all hero! We all are here ! Father, mother, Sister, brother, You that I lov e with love so dear? This may not long of us he said, Soon must we join the withered dead, And by the hearth we now sit round, Some other circle will be found. O then that wisdom may we know. That yields a life of peace below; So in the world to follow this, May each repeat, in words of bliss. We 're all?ali h-rc! ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE. From the "Test of Truth*' by Miss Ch ahain. "It appears, from the common con toss ion of Christians and Infidels, that the world is, to say the least, not very well furnished with the knowledge of its Maker. Noth. ing, therefore, which offers the smallest hope of obtaining light upon this momentous subject, ought to be passed over without inquiry. A book has been banded clown to us, professing to be a revelation from God to man, offering him all the 1... _ ...1 ?. 1 f I in ctmi/ls in nniift JvHUU H-"U'4U wi OII1V.II IIV outlive ? u^vva* This book is by some blindly embraced, for the very same reason that would have induced them, under other circumstances to have adopted the Alcoran, the Sinister or the Zendevesta. Others profess to receive it upon rational grounds of conviction, and to hold actual communication with the Deity w(*> is revealed in its sacred message. A third party reject the book altogather, and cast it from them with every mark of contempt. With these last I would now speak. Do not reject even the Bible, till you have put its truth or falsehood lairlv to the test. But vousay, 'How J ? v are we to try it; all the evidence we meet with appears to us insufficient. We refuse to give credit to the writings of the Apostles. We never saw the miracles they relate, they are not, therefore, calculated for our conviction. Such things are con trary to our experience, shock our common sense, and we write 'imposture' upon them all. As for the revelation thev prev tend to have received frotn God; that revelation never came to us. HI* are in no respect benefitted by it. If God will have us to believe as they did he must reveal himself to us as .be did to them. We cannot receive the thing at second-hand.? When the God of the Scriptures shall favor us bv revealing himself to us; when he shall afford us some infallible test whereby we may prove thai bis word is true? then we will open our minds to conviction, iiut till then, we must retrain our doubts upon the subject.' "Such is the reasoning we repeatedly hear from her lips of infidels. I will not now stop to admire the happy self-complacency, with which you boldly pronounce a tiling to be impossible, because it nas never happened within the little span of your experience; and unreasonable, hecause it surpasses the narrow hounds of your understanding. Neither will I pause to extol the spirit, with which, as a creature, you think proper to dictate to your Creator. Waving all consideration of the terms in whicn you express yourself, I admit the general truth ofyour proposition.? 1 am persuaded, that you never will believe the Scriptures, till, God himself'opens your understanding to understand the Scriptures.' And I assure ycu that these same Scriptures contain an abundant provision against the difficulties you have raised. They offer vou ample means of proving by your own pers&nal experience whether they be true or false. That immediate revelation which you profess to desire, is actually promised to you upon the simple condition of your asking for it. 4Ask and it shall be given you J* "What is the gift here promised. It is no other than 'the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, who shall guide you into all that knocketh it shall bo opened. For if ye, being evil, know how to give good < gifts unto your children, hoic much more t : allsh your Heavenly Father give His IIoly 1 - j Spirit to them that ask him/' \ >| "Take Jesus Christ at his word. f | The experiment is at once simple and decisive. Should it tail, you will then have | some reason to reject the Bible. Truth, j i immutable truth, is one of the attributes i I which reason and Scripture concur in as- ! j cribing to God. We cannot form to our- 1 j selves the conception of a God who can lie. i , To divest God of his attribute of truth, is j ! to strip him of his godhead; to bring him I ! down to a level with ourselves. The *l>i- j ! bio makes this a grand distinction between . j God and man; 'God is not a man, that he < ! should lie.* '//(? is ever mindful of his j i cnvnimnt1?!?ot tlirv. like mi n.*li;ivi? trans | grossed t lie covenant.* i 4,i [ere then, the question is brought with-' j in a very narrow compass. If the Creator j; i of the universe he the same Ciod u ho is re-;; j vealed in the Scriptures, he cannot hut : i ; honor his own word of promise. He has j i pledged himself?he cannot but redeem his i , pledge, liverv attribute of the Deity binds . ; him to the performance. I lis name, his groat i i and terrible name, is dishonored, for ever in the s:t of men and angels, if he fail to fulfil this word which is past, and cannot be ; recalled:?'Ciod will give his Holy Spirit J to tliem that ask him.' Such is the Scrip- 1 tore account. If it be false you have an ' easy way to detect its lulshood. If true, ' it is in your power to convince yourself of 1 its truth. Put to the test this bold asser- : tion. Ask your Heavenly Father to give you his Holy Spirit. If your prayer be "i-unri'd tin? Rihlft with all its rich t>rollers 11 jof present peace and eternal happiness, j ! will become your portion and reward lor j ever. If, on the contrary your ardent, j)rr. ! severing prayers should bringdown no sup. plies of light and knowledge from above, j' then you may not only with great justice j < ; pronounce the Bible to he an impudent j I imposition, hut you will be justified in j doubting and whether there be any Cod at 1 ; all. 1 j "Try now whether he is able to keep 1 , his promise or no. Whoever Cod is, he 1 will not at 1c. st lend himself to delude and 1 ensnare you. Jesus tellsyon that his doctrine ; is the bread of life. Should it, on the con- 1 j trary, prove to he nothing better than a stone or a scorpion, be assured that your 1 j Heavenly Father will not force it upon you i when you ask him for bread." i " j From the Sunday-School Journal. a r.atlier converted j Through Influence of his oicn Child. ' j Mr. Kdtor,?I send for publication the 1 i following interesting circumstance, which 1 i recently came under my notice. A little | boy, eight years old, belonging to the New ; | Market Baptist Sabbath-school, made the ' ' | following observation to his father, one 1 I Sabbath morning, about four months since i ' tlir, Cntlmr .\f ft,,.. Iitfln lini- an irrolini. ! i.v, IUUIVI VI ?...o "V.,, ous man, offered to accompany him to the . Sabbath-school, it being a very rainy day,"Father, why don't you stay at the school ' and go to the meeting with me ? You 1j ought to go to meeting." The reproof was t _ too powerful to be resisted. His soul was ' | filled with remorse. He left his child at the schoolhouse door, and turned back, not however, to meet his profligate compan- | ions at the tavern, where he had been ac- . customed to pass his Sabbaths?neither t did he turn away from the solemn admonition of his dear child, to continue careless ( ! and thoughtless, and crow harder and , - ' i harder in sin. Oh, no! the arrow of con- ( I viction had pierced his sou!! He turned ] ( back, concience smitten, to weep over his i j ; sins, with a heart full of sorrow, lie re- j ! turned home immediately, retired to his j' | chamber, bowed bis knees in prayer, open-j. ; ed and read iiis bible; in doing so. he found 11 _t c _ , .t r _j i 1 _ 1 , relict; lor tne r>piru 01 me i^jru naci ui> s I companicd the words of the child, and the j ^ ' result was, that from this Sabbath day he | j i determined to consecrate himself to God? j I to forsake the company of his guilty asso- \ j ciatcs?to abandon the drunkard's bowl, f | and to lead a new life. By the help of the Almighty, he was enabled to fulfil his res- i t olution: from that day he established fnrni- t | ly prayer in the house; he was an altered r ! man, became the subject of renewing grace c , and in a few weeks after lie offered himself \ I as a candidate for baptism; and in relating i I his experience before the church, made a v I feeling allusion to the above facts, while 1 ; tears ofpenitance trickled duwn his cheeks j ' and grattitude swelled his bosom, to the s j interruption of bis utterance, lie was {t ' baptized, and united with the church, and j t lias since adorned his profession by aji*or- , 1 i . . , 1 ..

He speaks of it as a { . prominent frailty among Christians, and t | recommends that efforts for its correction v be commenced in private devotions.?; t Among the means of correcting the habit t the following are mentioned. 1. Fix the mind on the sense of the prayer; not only s of the general petitions, but of each clause, c 2. Let the desire of the heart rest on the t things prayed for. And this should not be a i a temporary or occasional feeling, but a t 1 habitual desire, and will best be promoted f | by frequent meditation on the blessings ^ | sought. 3. Before commenceing prayer f : pause and fix the attention on the character t ! of God, especially as a hearer of prayer, t ?A. Attend not only to family prayers and f private devotions every morning and eve- s ning, and at other times, but in the course r of the dav, "on the occurrence of any event i * It is said of 13ishop White, that "hismothjr's pious assiduity first turned his thoughts ;o heavenly things," and "my earliest reigions impressions," he himself remarked svere the fruit of her instructions."

REVIVAL IX Tin: BAPTIST CIItRCH IX YORK. Extract of a letter from Dr. Fox of Charlotte, N. C., published in the Newborn Biblical Recorder. u There is a great revival of religion in the neighborhood of the Flint Hill Baptist church, Vork District, S. CM about 12 miles from this place. About fifty have been buried with Christ by Baptism, and e:ght ethers have pained the fellowship of the Uhurcli and will follow their Lord at the next meeting. Bro. James Thomas is the favored embassador in this glorious visit ation; though many of the converts profess to have received their awakenings during the labours of bro. James Osburn ot Bal imorc ; who has often visited us, and at one time remained with us about twelve months. Permit me to assure you, that no uncommon efiort?no human device to excite the animal passions has been made?nothing but an impressive and faithful exhibition of the blessed gospel, accompanied with, and guided and controlled by Him who has said. * Lo I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." This revival has been marked by no extravagance of any kind.

The paragraph from the American is as oilows: A custom, more honorable in the breach han the observance,has obtained at Albany, hat when any bill of a specially interesting laturc to individual applican ; such as bank ihortcrs, Chenango Canal bills, &c., has >asscd, a great feast ensues?not of reason, dways, however. When the Governor vas applied to on Saturday, to know when lis decision as to the Erie Railroad Bill vould be given, he said he would be ready to ign it at once provided he was assured that he friends of the bill did not mean to have lie usual celebration, otherwise he would ctnin it some days. As this entirely coincided with the views >f those who hud the bill in charge, the asiurance was readily given,the bill was sign. m1, and a certified copy is now in the hands >fthe company. The Governor's discoun. enance in this instance of the orgies of sue:ess, may, we trust lead to their entire disrontinuance. American Temperance Intelligencer.

Among the symptoms of Dyspepsia and Liver Complaints, are flatulency, sourness or burning in thd stomach, melancholy, irritability, disa. grecablc taste in the mouth ; great irregularity of appetite, which is sometimes voracious, and at other times greatly deficient, thirst, fotidbreath, nausea weakness of the stomach, acid cructat ions, palpitation, drowsiness, irregularity of the bow. els, pressure on the stomach after meals, pain in the head, dizziness or vertigo; confusion ofmind, attended with loss of memory, a gnawing in the stomach when empty, dullness, affection ofsight and hearing, pain and weakness in the back, lan. guor, disturbed sleep, cold feet and hands, tremor, uneasiness in the throat, cough, pain in the side or breast, &c.

Dr peters vegitable anti billious pills These Pills need but a trial to recommend them. n't*.**** miMlif rrerntnlilfl nntl wrll rnlmlntpi? 1 IIVJ UIC ?I OVII V*??VMM?VM for the removal of all Billious complaints. They act specially upon the Liver, when in a torpid condition, carrying olFa large quantity of bile, through the influence of the execrncnt function, which, if suffered to remain in the system, would produce either Jaundice, Liver Complaint, Billious Fever, Fever and-Ague, or some other grievous bodily affliction. In all cases of torpor of the bowels, they act like a charm. In recent eases of Dyspepsia, they ore a certain cure. 3/a. ny persons who were subject to violent attacks of sick head ache, have been much benefitted, and I several perfectly cured in a few weeks by their jsc. They are highly recommended as a proven- j livo and euro of Billious complaints. Persons who arc subject to that distressing complaint, seasickness, by taking a portion or two of them i few days previous to embarking on board the vessel, will be almost certain to escape it. Females can use them at any period, without incurring any risk. Persons going to sea, or to a southern climate, should by all means take some of theso Pills with them.?Their virtues will remain unimpaired for years in any climate. No family should be without theso Pills ; a portion of them, taken occasionally would be the means of preventing much suffering from sickness. It is from neglect of keeping up a regular pcrisialtic iction of tlio stomach and bowels, thus suffering to bo absorbed and mingled witn me uioou, unas- i militated fluids, that nio.-t diseases arc produced. Dr. P. feels confident that no person who gives these Pills a fair trial, will ever atlcr feel willing to be without them. The testimony of thousands speaking in the highest trrms of their efficacy, might be added, but the very high reputation Dr. P. has acquired as the inventor of the "Patent Vegetable Medicinac Stomoebicte et He. p<jtic<r,v for the cure of Dyspepsia and Liver complaints, is thought a sufficient guarantee to those wishing to make a trial of their virtues. They contain not a particle of Mercury, or any ingredient that docs not act in harmony with health and oppose disease. Dr. P. wishes it distinctly understood, that these Pills possess beneficial qualities indepenJent of their purgative effects ;they are both tonic and deobstruent, acting upon the secreting and , ?.\halent functions ; thus strengthening the patient, while they remove obstructions?Medicines which possess no other, excepting cathartic qualities, debilitate tho patient, and their reseated use lays the foundation of a long cataogue of Chronic Diseases. Dr. P. having been educated under the most uuinent American ar.d European Medical processors, and practised his profession many yoars n tho South, where diseases of the most obstinate diaracter prevail, considers himself well qualified o judge on the nature of dieeascs incident to varm climates.
