TRUTH AND SINCERITY.

Nothing, perhaps. is more beautiful, or more
rare, than a character in which there is no
guile Guile insinuates into our hearts and
conduct to degree of which we are little a.
ware. Many who would be shocked at an ac-
tual breach of truth, are Notwithstanding, far
from sincere in manner OF conversation. The
mode in which they speak of others, when abb
sent, is wholly inconsistent with their profess
sions to them when present They will re-
late fact, falsely, but leaning to that side
which tells best for themselves; they represent
their own actions in the fairest colors they
have an excuseever ready for themselves, and
too often at the expense of others. Such con
duct. if not coming under the character of di-
rect fasehood, is certainly species of deceit
to be severely condemned, and strictly guard
ed against. not only in ourselves, but in our
children; for we shall find them early prone
to art, and quick in imbibing it from others
1t is not enough therefore. to speak the truth /;
our whole behaviour to them should be sin
cere, upright, fair and without artifce; and it
is experience alone that can prove the excel
lent effects that will result from such course
of conduct: Let all who are engaged in the
care of children consider it duty of primary.
of essential importance, never to employ cum
nng to gain their ends, or to spare trouble.
Let them not. for instance to prevent fit of
crying, excite expectation of pleasure which
they are certain cannot be procured; or assure
a child that medicine he must take is nice,
when they know to the contrary If ques-
ton be asked, which they are unwilling or I'M
able to answer. let them freely confess it. and
beware of assuming power or knowledge which
you do not possess; for all artihce is not only
sinful, but is generally detected, even by chill
dren; and we shall experience the truth of the
old proverb, "A cunning trick helps but once,
and binders ever after No one who is not
experimentally acquaintedwith children, would
conceive how clearly they distinguish between
truth and artifce: or how readily they adopt
those equivocal expedients in their own behalf
which they perceive are practised against them.
