THE FAMILY MEETING.
We are all here,
Father. Mother,
Sister, Brother,
AH who hold each oilier dear.
Each chair is filled—we’re all o' home !
To-night let no cold stranger come :
Jr is not often thus around
Our old iatr.iliar hearth we’re found.
Bless, then, the meeting and the ep*M ;
For once he every care forgot;
Let gentle peace av ert her power,
And kind affection rule the hour.
We’re all—all here-
We’re rota!! here I
Some are away -the dead ones dear.
Who thronged with us this ancient hearth,
And gave the hour to guileless mirth.
Fate, with a stern, relentless hand,
Looked in, and thinned our little hand ;
Some like a night flash passed away,
And some sank lingering day by day ;
'Flic quiet grave yard—some lie there—
And cruel ocean has his share —
We’re not all here.
We arc all here,
Even they- the dead —though dead, so dear;
Fond memory, to her duty true,
Brings back their laded form* to view.
How” life-like, through the mist of years,
Eacli well remembered face appears I
We sec them, an in times long past;
From each to each kind looks are cast,
We hear their words, their smiles heboid—
They’re round us as they were of old —
We arc all here.
We are all here,
Father, Mother,
Sister, Brother,
You that I love, with love so dear.
This may not long of ns lie said —
Soon must we join the gathered dead.
And bv the hearth we now sit round
Some oilier circle will lie found.
Oh ! then, that wisdom may we know
Which yields a life of peace below ;
So, in tiie world to follow this,
Alay each re [’eat, in words ofbliss,
IFe’re all- all here !
STANZAS.
The ait is heavy with the breath ot flowers,
And music floats around me like a dream ;
I see the smile of beauty in her bowers,
And clustering Inmps like stars above me gleam :
I hear the voice of inert intent sweep by,
But wake no echoing gladness in my breast;
1 know that light and ha]>py hearts are nigh,
But feel mine own with heaviness oppress'd.
There is a thought all gladness overpowers,
And renders beauty dim unto my sight—
O! where are they, whose smiles in former hours
Have filled my soul with happiness and light ?
Go, ask the deep!—the wande.iers o’er it range—
Go,ask the earth!—for it hath elaiufd the dead—
Go, ask the winds’.—like traitor-friends they
change —■
The true were taken !—and the false are fled ! ]
’l’isever thus!—the flowers wc pluck must die!
And those we love must |>eri*li,or forget!—
To think of other hours is hut to sigh—
And memory hut a title of regret!
Tis ever thus!—or earth would he too bright.
Anil hearts would love to linger in its bowers—
But who would mourn eve’s coming, when the
light
Os day hath gleam’d alone on blighted flowers?
THE IRISH MOTHER’S LAMENT.
My beautiful, my hright-eved hoy!
Ah! whilherart thou roaming?
Thy mother’s hope, thv mother s joy,
l watch to see thee coming.
I watch the sails of every ship,
But all return without thee;
I ask fl>r thee with quivering lip,
But none knows a oglu about thee.
Avoumeen Deelish!
O shame, Avoumeen! summer's fled,
The reaper’s time is gone, dear !
I will not dream that thou art dead,
And l am left all alone, dear !
Our cabin is a dreary place.
The very walls look sorrow ;
But could I sec thy darling face.
They’d ring with joy to-morrow.
Avoumeen Deelish !
O' shame, Avoumeen ! art thou dead ?
And didst thou brave the danger
Os stormy seas, to toil for bread,
And perish with' the stranger?
Mv beautiful, my young, my brave!
’Thy mother’s heart is riven;
But though I may not share thy grave,
Our souls will meet :n heaven.
Avoumeen Deelish!
THE MAIDEN'S PRAYER.
•She rose from her delirious sleep,
And put away her soft brown hair.
And in a tone as low, as deep, *
As love’s first whisper, breal lied a prayer,
rler snow-white hands together pressed,
Her blue eyes sheltered in the lid,
The Gilded muslin on her breast,
Just swelling with rhe eharms it hid :
And from her long and flowing dress,
Escaped a bare and snowy loot,
YVhose steps upon the earth did press,
Like anew snow-flake, white and mute ;
And then from her slumbers soft and warm,
Like a young spirit fresh from heaven,
She bowed that slight and matchless foe in.
And humbly prayed to be forgiven.
O God ! if souls misoiled as these,
Need daily mercy from thy throne ;
If she upon her bended knet s,
Our holiest and purest one ;
She with a face so clear and bright,
We deem her some stray child of light;
If site with those soft eyes m tears,
Day after day, in her young years,
Must kneel and pray for grace from thee,
YVliat far, far deeper need have we!
How, hardly, if she win not heaven,
"Will our wiki errors lie forgiven ?
Toothache. — Put a piece of lime, about
ihesneof a walnut, into a rpiart bottle
of water ; with this rinse rhe mouth two
or three times a day, and clean the teeth,
using this water every morning, if it
taste strong, dilute it, for it should be
just strong enough to taste the lime, and
no stronger. I was tormented with the
tooth ache for some weeks till I used this
mixture, but have never had it since. A
friend to whom I recommended it, and
who was a great sufferer, has been equal
ly fortunate ; she attributed her r s to rheu
matism. A tier a few weeks, f asked
her how the Rone water succeeded.
S^. ,e ’ have never had the
rheumatism since.’— Hart. Jovr.

TIIE IXITED M ATIN MAGAZINE.
And Democratic Review, for 184-5.
JOHN L. o’sCLLIVAN, EDITOR.
THE Sixteenth Volume of the Democratic Re
view commences with the present number. The
Publisher cannot omit the occasion it affords, to
; congratulate its readers and friends, upon the great
victory recently achieved by the cause of their
common principles; a victory not less important in
its consequences, than glorious in its triumph, after
the unprecedented severity of the recent contest of
parties. Originally established at a period of the
deepest depression of the Democratic cause, in the
memorable year of 1837, this Review has ever ta
ken an active, and, it is believed, not ineffective
part, in tiie long and keenly contested battles of
opinion, by winch the country has been ever since
more or less deeply agitated. Having freely shar
ed the worst disasters, the gloomiest depressions,
may it not fairly be allowed to ask and hope to
shale now the benefit of the triumph and prosperi
ty, of the Demm rsev of the country? It lias sus
tained itself through .considerable portions of that
period, only by large pecuniary sacrifices caused by
the delinquencies of too many of ita subscribers—
through seasons when zeal for the principles to
which it was devoted could alone afford a motive
l tor its continuance at so much unrequited expen
| iliture of both money, time and intellectual effort.—
Its Publisher now feels fairly entitled to invoke an
active and generous friendliness of support, on the
part of its subscribers and the intelligent members
of its Party generally, for iis support. Our oppo
nents have recently organized extensive arrange
ments for the establishment of a similar work on
the other side of our great division of parties—‘no
counteract,” as it is said, “the pernicious influence
of the Democratic Review.” Established under
imposing auspices of eminent political anil liierarv
names in the ranksof our opponents, anil doubtless
to be sustained by the overflowing means possessed
by that party, to sustain a work of that character,
it thus holds out the prospect of an honorable rival
ry, which the Democratic Review cheerfully ac
cepts, but which the Democratic Party must libe
rally contribute to enable it to maintain, in a man
ner worthy of that party, and of its good, great and
glorious principles. The way to serve it, and toj
aid in this purpose, is, at once to remit promptly
the debts which are its just and well-earned due,
anil to lake some degree of active interest to pro
cure it additional advance-paying subscribers.
The following are among the contributors to this
work:

which have frequently been pronounced by the
most intelligent criticisms during the past year, in
ihemselves alone worth the subscription to the
work, will be continued from the same able Land.

THE COLUMBIAN MAGAZINE,
for 1845.
EDITED BY
JOHN INMAN AND ItOHKKT A. WJtST
Twelve Copies to Clubs for fig.
At the close of his Sceomi Volume, tire Maw
zine having been commenced on the first of j,
ary, 1844, the publisher find himself irreaiatflJ*
i called on to express the satisfaction and gratii. a
with which be has been filled by the brilliant * j
unexampled success that has attended his en( j
vow to win the publie favor# Notwithstanding ft*"
difficulties, disappointments and vexations ihat •
I most invariably followed the establishment of a w
< periodical, in the production oi which there nt
l*e the harmonious co-ojjeration of many heads am*
many hands-nottvithstanding occasional short cm,
lags especially in the pietoral department, win-J
i no care or diligence could avert and no expend
1 tore prevent, the Columbian .tfagnine has gone 0P
1 steadily increasingir support and popularity f ro ‘
the opening number, and if the unbought unaolici
ted testimony of the press may be received asm"
swayed partiality and unbiassed by friendship th
efforts of contributors and editors have been satis!
factory to the public and accepted as fulfilling ql
i promises made for them at the commencement »✓
the enterprise.
The publisher undertook the work with a firm
conviction that the great city ot New York mu the
best and the true home for Magazines of gcneril
literature; that notwithstanding the failure ol’ma
ny previous attempts to establish such a work, ther
could be no impossibility of success with sufficient
capital, perseverance and the right system of man ‘
agement both by publisher and edifi.r; stimulated
bv this conviction fie embarked in the enterprise and
the result of the first year lias proved that his j U( r„
merit was correct. J "
It has long ceased to be necessary, or rcasom
I hie that we should speak of the Columbian as an
ex|>erinieni substantially tried. We feel ourselves
upon as firm a basis as any similar journal in the
world. Our principal cares now regard not s „
much rhesecuring what ground we have gninci
(lor wc consider this sufficiently secure) as the c\
tension of our sphere oiactionand utility— not so
j much, even, the met e enlargement ofour"subtlerio
i lion-list, as the most suitable modes of catering (hr
the amusement (and shall we say occasionally for
the profit?) of our subscribers in the present" and
in the future —the many whom we have, and the
many more we shall undoubtedly have as tli* time
rolls on.
We have made arrangements which will enable
hr to present our friends with embellishments of
very superior taste, style and finish. In this res
pect it is our firm purpose, if possible, to outvis all
competition. Our music and engravings, we con
fidently believe, will not lie equalled— verv certain
ly they shall not be surpassed in real merit", bv those
of any other magazine. Be propose to give each
month, two or more superb engravings, indepen
dently of Iwo pages of music by the most eminent
composers, and plate ofauthenticfashions.
Regarding the literary and editorial conduct of
the Columbian, the publisher 'doe* not feel called
upon to say more than a very few words. The
general management of this department is confided
to the gentleman who has hitherto given abundant
evidence, not only of the highest ability m put
forth a meritorious magazine and one exactly adap
ted to the tastes of all readers, with whom "is asso
ciate'll another gentleman of ability and experience.
The publisher therefore, lias every confidence
that what has already been done lor the literalv
value of this journal, will be dime again. lie aie
perfectly willing that our future in this respect
should he estimated by our past. The subjoined
list of those who have I’ornisbCd articles lor the
Columbian during the bygone year, will satisfy,
we leal assured, the most fastidious, that we are
resolute to spare, in no particular, either exertion
or expense.

With the aid of these contributors (ofwholti it i*
needless to say one word in the way ofconiineiida
tion and ol’nuincrous others perhap.se equally meri
torious if less celebrated, who have promised «*
their support, we flatter ourselves that as a literary
work, the Columbian need he under no apprehen
sion of being excelled. ,
But what tve have done is before the public, who
will not fail to judge of us with impartiality; and in
respect to whet wc intend to do, it will be both wi
ser and more becoming (although less fashionable
not to boast. We may be permitted to assure our
friends in brief, however, that we have matured
numerous plans (for the Third Volcmy) with
which we lecl confident they will be pleased. R•*
our purpose to put Girth every energy, and it will
lie no fault of our own if the Columbian should not
he found at least equal to any magazine, of any
class or price in America.
