[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."

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

; | Market Baptist Sabbath-school, made the ' '
| following observation to his father, one 1
I Sabbath morning, about four months since i

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.

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

U ANDERfNG OK THE MIND IN 1?RAYEB.? j
The last publication of the late Bishop j
| White was an article on this subject in a j
; religious journal. 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

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.

ANCIENT CUSTOM DULY HONORED.
The New York American gives the folowin?
account of an effort in the riirht
o n

with the manners, and unworthy
he feelings of the present day. The exunple

States, in withholding the accustomed treat

ribed, and of many others, clothed with inluenco
and authority, will not be lost upon
i people who ardently desire to seethe end
)1 all these customs which, having originaed
in times and under institutions unlike our
>wn, ore felt to he uncongenial with that
:pirit of vigorous enterprise and diffusive
thilanthrophy which while it depresses and
mpoverishes none, eluvates, honors, and
:nriches all.
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.

iishions of the times. Look at our adverising

There is nothing easier than to make

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.

Courier, says, "It is the largest journal publkhed

talents of our country, than their unexampled
liberality in offering literary prizes."
The Albeny Mercury of March 16th, 1836
says, "the Saturday Courier, is decidedly the best
Family Newspaper ever published in this or any
other country, and its value is duly appreciated
by the pnblic, if we may judge Its contents aro

wishes,therefore,of such of their subscribers as desiro
to have their numliers bound, they have do
