FAMILY AFFEcr1oN-In some families there
appears exist but little natural feelings among
the members for one another. We frequently see
a brother successful in business and surrounded
by every comfort and luxury, while sister who
NAV have married injndciously is pining unno-
ticed in suffering want. The brothers name may
often be found heading a subscription list tor
some splendid charity; and yet he has no dollar to
spare for the playmate OF his early wears who has
been overtaken by poverty. And sisters whose lot
in life have been cast unequaily; how often do
they forget the sweet intercourse OF childhood
and meet as unsy npathisngy strangers. The
one perchance, who was the fondest and most
belov ed in early DAYS. is she whose lot 10 cast IN
the low vale Of want in after life; and whom the
more fortunate sister regard with indifference and
shuns from motives of false pride.--Batimore.

FELLow-CITIZENS.
We have met to-day, to commend
rate the most important event in our ma
tional history-the Anniversary of Amer
lean Independence. An event which ami
mates each breast with gladness, and ex-
cites in each heart glow Of patriotic joy.
Let us then be wholly Invested of the eve
ry day concerns of life; let no party spir-
it, or sectional feeling invade those pre-
cincts, sacred to JOYS that the sacrifice up
on our country's altar may be as pure, as
the occasion is worthy
While we for moment, interrupt this
season of universal JOY; let US by the aid
of fancy return to those days of peril, to
pay tribute of sympathy, and Of graft
tude to those worthy spirits, by whose
blood and valor the blessings which now
surround us were won. Heroes OF whom
now but remnant remains. -One only
can be numbered in this assembled multi
tude! And who must soon all, by the speed
Of time, be left among the past. Their
deeds Of glory, and oftoil only to be learn
ed from the history Of our country. The
same sun which now adorns the heavens,
also shned for them; and the face OF ma
ture animated with life, and Vegetation,
and smiling in the rich livery of summer
green, was also theirs. Yet with all these
blessings they we're unhappy; because the
hand ofthe oppressor was over them The
promise of Heaven that ''those who SOW
shall reap was not unto them; for the IN
Just tax-gatherer was ready to seize upor
the fruits Of their labor.

cities are equal, or that all, who have uni
ted with US, will perseyere in the pursuit Of
knowledge. The intellectual lazy; the
dignifcd, though, at the outset, they may
rise with enthusiasm, will like the domes-
tic fowl make but short and clumsy
fight, and soon again will fall back totheir
level. Not so with the gifted sons Of gen
ius; their flight will be steady, uniform,
and strong, and like the mountain eagle
they will be soar, and soar until finally
lost in the clouds ofheaven! 1t lis not in
tended to cast reflection upon "nature's
gifts" that shall discourage the most hum
Bile beginner. All have capacity for
usefulness. tits those only, who willingly
"blry their talent in the earth," that con-
stitute the real drones.
Nature in the myriads Of beings, that
have swarmed the earth, since the crea-
ton, has ever scorned identity. Thus
beautifully manitesting, the infinite pow
er, of the divine creator. The same de
versity appears in the human mind--no
two can claim in all prospects, to be alike.
The best endowed have their deficiencies,
and with proper application, usefulness,
and even excellence, is in reach of the
most humble.
