THE REVIVAL.

The meeting which has been IN progress
'for some sixteen days, in the Baptist Church,
in this village, closed on the night of the 2Oth
inst, with crowded house, and seemingly
little, if any abatement in the interest which
has been manifested during the last ten days
of its continuance. The apparent results
of this special effort, may be summed up in
an addition to the church of some sixty
whites and eight or ten colored persons; a
decided increase in the zeal and piety of the
membership, and more general good feeling
among the different denominations, rs we'll
as throughout the entire community. May
God grant that this state of things may long
continue amongst US, and not pass away
like the morning cloud and the early dew"
May the holy influence which we are salts,
6ed now pervades SO many hearts, abide
with them, and may peace and JOY in the
Holy Spirit, be experienced by all who are
seeking salvation, in faithful obedience to
Gods commands, and may those who have

be even yet reclaimed, and be saved in the

God we trust, has labored so abundantly
and successfully amonst US. And we also
understand that something has been done as
mark of personal respect for him, and to
assist in the maintenance of his family whilst
he is engaged in his work. This is right and
proper, and is especially commendable in the
latter case, as it was done without solicita-

works. And now, having acted thus nobly,
let attention be turned to things at home.
Let arrangements be made for preaching to

For the day is passing by;
See the shades of evening gather,
And the night is drawing nigh!

Pass me not unheeded by!
Many friends were gathered round me,
In the bright days of the past;
But the grave has closed above them,
And linger here the last
| am lonely: tarry with me
Till the dreary night is past.
Dimm'd for me is earthly beauty;
Yet the spirits eye would fain
Rest upon thy lovely features:
Shall seek, dear Lord, in vain!
larry with me, O my Saviour!
Let me see thy smiles again
Dull my ear to eartl-born music:
Speak thoufLor IN words OF cheer;
Feeble, tottering, my footstep,
Sinks my heart with sudden fear:
Cast thine arms, dear Lord, around me,
Let me feel thy presence near.
Faithful memory paints before me
Every deed and thought of sin:
Open thou the bood-6llcd fountain,
Cleanse my guilty soul within:
Tarry, thou forgiving Saviourl
Wash me wholly from my sin
Deeper, deeper grow the shadows,
Paler now the glowing west;
Swift the night of death advances;
Shall it be the night Of rest?
Tarry with me, o my Saviour!
Lay my head upon thy breast
Feeble, trembling, fainIing, dying,
Lord l cast myself on thee:
Tarry with me through the darkness
While l sleep still watch by me,
Till the morning. then awake me,
Dearest Lord, to dwell with thee.

LAW su1rs.-Napoleon in conversation
with Las Cases at St. Helena, dwelt upon
the evils arising from law suits, which, be
said, were an absolute leprosy, a social can.
Ger. My code, he said, had singularly di.
minished law suits, by placing humorous ca
ses within the comprehension of every indi.
vidual. But there remained much for the
legislator to accomplish. Not that he could
hope to prevent men from quarrelling this
they have done in all ages; but he might
have prevented third party in society frona
living upon the quarrels Of the other two,
and even stirring up disputes to promote
their own interests. 1t was, therefore, my
intention to establish the rule that lawyers
should never receive fees except when they
paiped cases.

1t was a wild, solitary spot; the lofty
trees threw their shadows upon the green

by his side, the two sisters. The multitude
paused before the tomb of Lazarus and all
was quiet as the grave, when clearly and
distinctly, rose the voice of Jesus in prayer;
and as he beheld the bereaved sisters, who
had three days before followed the remains
of an only brother to the grave, and saw
the anguish depicted upon their faces, his
heart, ever ready to sympathize with others,
melted and the Son of God bowed his head
and wept; then, lifting his eyes toward heav.

loosed his captive, and Lazarus came forth
and stood among them.
The last rays of the setting sun fell upon

hearts Of the Jews ascended hymn OF
praise, and as they left that spot, believing
