An AFFEcTIoNATE SPIRIT.---We some
times meet with men who seem to think that
indulgence in an afectionate feeling is a
weakness. They will return from a jour
ney and greet their families with distant dig
nifty, and move among their children with
the cold and lofty splendor of an iceberg,
surrounded with its broken fragments
There is hardly a more unnatural sight on
earth than one of their families.
A father had better extinguish his boys
eyes than take away bis heart. Who that
has experienced the joys of friendship, and
knows the worth Of sympathy in affection,
would not rather lose all that Is beautiful in
natural scenery than be robbed Of his heart?
Who wonld not rather follow his child to
the grave, than entomb parental affection?
Cherish then, your hearts best affections.
Indulge in the warussnd gushing emotions
Of flial, parental, fraternal love. Think II
not q weakness, God IS love,-love is God;
love every body and every thing that is good.
Teach your childrento ieye,-to love the
rose, the Robin, to love their parents, to

TRIUMPH OF LEARNiNc.-Mind consti-
flutes the majesty Of man-virtue his true
nobility. The tide of Improvement which
is now flowing through the land like anoth.
er Niagra, is destined to roll on downward to
the latest posterity; and it will bear them
|oni Is bosom, our virtues, our vices, our
glory or our shame, or whatever else we
may transmit as an inheritance.
It, then, in q great measure, depens
upon the present, whether the moth Of
immortality, of ignorance, and the YAM
'pire Of luxury, shall prove the over
throw of the republic; o. whether know
ledge and virtue, like two pillars, shall
support her against the whirlwind of war,
ambition, corruption, and the remorseless
tooth of time.
The cynic may smile at the idea, but
there is, perhaps, many a germ of genius
now in America, destined to rise to the
pinnacle of human glory. Go search the
records Of renown. II is not ia colleges
alone we are to look for great and good
men. The Saviour chose his companions
from the fishing boat; and many of the
most illustrious characters that ever illu-
minated the world, rose by the aid of some
means. DR.. Herschel, who with
the eye of a philosopher, searched out and
added another world to the solar system,
was a ffer boy i n the army Ferguson, the
very sun of science, was a poor weaver,
and learned to read by hearing his father
teach an elder brother. Search the records
of our revolution, and the name of Sher-
man, Of Franklin, and many others may be
|adduced as evidences Of the truth Of this
position. Active education is ever on the
increase; like money, its interest becomes
compound-doubles, and in the course Of
years forms a vast national treasury. Give
your children fortune, without education,
and at least half the number will 20 down
to oblivion, perhaps to ruin. Give them
education, and they will accumulate for
times; they will be q fortune to themselves
and to their country. It is an inheritance
worth more than gold, It buys true honor!
they can never spend or lose it, and
through life it proves q ~friend--in death a
consolation. Give your children education,
and no tyrant will trsmple, over your liber-
Give your children education, and
the silvershod horse of the despot will
never trample in ruins the fabric of your
freedom. "'as;
