HOME AFFECTIONS.

The heart has memories that never die.
The rough rubs of the world cannot oblit-
crate them. They are the memories Of
home-early home. There is a magic in
the sound There is the old tree under
which the light-hearted boy swung many
day; yonder the river in which he learned
to swim; there the house in which he knew
parents protection nay, there is the room
in which he rompcd with brother and sister,
alas! laid in the yard in which he must
soon be gathered, over .shadowed by yon
old church, whittier, with joyous troop
like himself, he has often followed his pa
rents to worship with, and hear tho good
old man who ministered at the alter Why,
even the very school-housc, associated in
youthful days with thought Of tasks, now
comes to bring pleasant rcmemberances of
many occasions that call forth some gen.
erous exhibitions of noble traits OF human
nature. There is where he learned to feel
some of his first emotions. There, per.
chance, he first met the being who, by her
love and tenderness in life, has made
home for himself, happier than that which
his childhood knew There are certain
feelings of humanity, and those too, among
the best, that can find an appropriate place
for their exercise only by ones own fireside.
There is privacy of that which it was
species of desecration to violate. He who
seeks wantonly to invade it, is neither more
or less than william and hence there exists
no surer test Of dcbasement of morals in |
community, than the disposition to tolerate
in any mode, the man who invades the
sauctity of private life. In the turmoil of
the world, let there be at least one spot
where the poor man may find affection and
confidence which are not to be abused.

THE MINISTER ABROAD.

A friend in Stockbridgc, Mass, sends u:
the following anecdote of Rev. Zeb. Twich
ell, a Methodist clergyman Of full and regu
lar standing, and member of the Vermont
conference. At one time he represented
Stockbridgo in the State Legislature.
Zeb, says our correspondent, is man oil
fair talents, both as preacher and musi,
clan. In the pulpit he is grave, solemn, dig
niGed-a thorough, systematic sermonizcr
but out Of the pulpit there is no man living
who is more fell of fun and frolic. On one
occasion he was vending his way toward
the seat of the annual conference of minis.
ters, in company with another clergyman.
Passing country inn, he remarked to his
companion
"rhe last time stopped at that tavern,
slept with the landlords wife p'
In utter amazement his clerical friend
wanted to know what he meant.

and on went the two travellers in unbroken
silence, until they reached the Conference

Of transacting private business, aud especi.
ally to attend to the annual examination. of
each members private character, or rather
conduct during the past year. For this pur.
pose the clerk called the roll, as was the
custom; and in due course Zeb's name was
called.
"Does any one know aught against the
conduct of brother Twichell during the past
year :" asked the bishop, who was the pres-
ding officer.
After moments silence, Zeb's travel
ling companion arose from his seat, and
with heavy heart, and grave demurc coun-
tenance, said that he felt he had duty to
perform; one that he owed to God, to the
church, and to himself He must therefore
discharge it fearlessly though with tremb-
ling. He then related what Zeb had told
him while passing the tavern, how he slept
with the landlords wife. The grave body
of ministers was struck as with thunder.
bolt; although few smiled, and glanced
first upon Zeb and then upon the bishop,
knowingly, for they knew better than the
others the character of the accused. The
bishop called up brother r., and asked him
what he had to say in relation to SO serious
a charge. Zeb arose and said:
'sI did the deed-I never lie" Then
pausing with IN awful seriousness, he pro-
eccded, with slow and solemn deliberation-
there was one little circumstance, how
ever, connected with the affair, did not
lame to the brother. 1t may NOT have much
weight with the conference, but although it
nay be deemed of ftrifling importance, will
state it. When slept with the landlords

FAMILY GOVERNMENT.


On the correct formation of character
hangs all which is dear to the human race
1t is true, that the teacher and example
have much to do in its formation, but these
fall far below parental training in this di
recting and moulding influence. Indeed
the potency for good of the teacher, is in a
great measure secured by well sustained
family discipline.
In most instances, it may be undeniably
affirmed that, the foundation of character
for subsequent life, is laid under parental
influence, for here the clements of character
are imbbed, whether good or evil. And is
that government to be lightly esteemed un-
der which character is to receive its con.
sttuent principles, and be shaped for the
future destiny! Only let this be right, and,
other things being equal, all earthly govern
ments will be right.
= Hence, says John Angel James, every
nation his stamped s. great value on the
family compact, and guarded it with the
most powerful sanctions. 1t is at the fire.
side, and upon the family hearth, that pa
triotism, and every public virtue, grows
as it is in disordered families that factious
demagogues, and tyrannical oppressors are
trained up, to be their neighbours or their
country's scourge.
tits there that the thorn and the briar, to
use the elegant smile of the prophet, or the
myrtle and the 6r-tree, are reared, which are
in future time to be the ornament and de.
fense, or the deformity and misery, of the
land.
TO point out some things essential to a
right administration of family government
is the object of the following remarks:
Kindness should be stamped on all the
parents acts in family. Be kindly af.
fectioned one to another, is divine COM
mand, peculiarly applicable to all parents
land to all families.)
Parents should be selfpossessed To
exercise perfect command over ones self
is highly important, especially in those who
would govern others. Nothing should be
done through caprice, or in passion. Pa
rents should rule we'll their own house, hav.
ig their children in subsection with all
gravity.
Equanimity of temper is also essential to
a proper administration of parental gov
ernment. Many parents suffer themselves
to change in their feelings by the most tri.
fling circumstances; sometimes calm and
composed, then fretful and passionate some
times holding themselves in restraint, then
giving loose rein to their ill-humor Let
plrents remember thatif they would govern
w.ll, they must possess and maintain even
ness and firmness of mind.
