Respect for Parents.
If children could realize bu

small portion pf the anxiety their
parents feel on their account, they
would payifar greater resp ect to
the paternal wishes. A good child
and one in whom confidence can
be placed, is the one who does not
allo,H1iimseIf tb disobey his p arents,
.nor%o do any tE;ng when his pa
rents are absent, that he has reason
to believe theE would disapproye,
if they were present. The e good
advice of pare pts is often SO engra-
ven on the heart of the child, that
after wears of tbil and care do notef-
face it. And tn the hour of tempt
alton the thought of parent has
been til e salvation Of tie child, tho
the parent nidy be sleeping in the
grave, and thd ocean may roll be-
tween the dcred spot and the
tempted. A small token OF paternal
aifec ton ,bornd about the pelison,es-
peciaiiF pare pts likeness, would
frequently pr4ve a taiisman for
good. A Polish prince was ac-
customed to c hrry the picture of
his father always in his bosom; and
on any|particul ar occasion he would
look upon it dnd say, Let me do
