AN AFFEcTloNATE SPIRIT.-We some.
times meet with men who seem to think
that any indulgence in affectionate feeling
is weakness. They will return from a
journey and greet their families with dis
tan. dig ni,y, and move among their chill
dren with the cold and lofty splendor Of
an iceberg. surrounded with its broken
fragments. There is hardly more un-
natural sight on earth, than one of these
families without hearts.
A father had better exiinguish his boys
eyes than take away his heart. Who that
has experienced the joys Of friendship,
and knows the worth Of sympathy and
affection, would not rather lose all tina. is
beautiful in natures scenery, than be rob-
bed of the hidden treasures of the heart !?
Who would not rather bury his wife than
bury his love for her? Who would not
rather follow his child to the grave, than
entomb his parental affection?
Cherish, then, your hearts best affec-
tons. Indulge i'll The warm and gushing
emotions of filial parental. fra.ernal love.
Think it no. weakness. God is love-
Love God. Love every one, and every
thing that is lovely. Teach your childrt n
to love; 10 love the rose. to love their God.
lie. it be the studied object of your domes-
sic culture, 10 give them warm hearts and
ardent affections Bind your whole FAM
~ together by these strong chords. You
cannot make them too strong. Religion
