AYFECuoY.-We sometimes meet with
men who seem to think that any indulgence Of
aflectionate feeling is weakness. They will
return from a journey and greet their families
with distant dignity, and move among their
children with the cold and lofty splendor Of
an iceberg, surrounded with its broken frap-
ment'. There is hardly more unnatural
sight on earth than one of those families with
out heart. y father had better extinguish
his boys eyes than take away Iris heart
Who thst has experienced the joys of ffend-
ship, and values sympathy and affection;
would not rather lose all that is beautiful in
natures scenery than be robbed Of the hidden
treasures Of his heart Who woufl not rath-
er follow his child to the grave than entomb
his parental affection ? Cherish, thea, your
hearts best affections. Indulge in the watm
and gushin emotions OF fratern al love. Think
it not a weakness Teach your children to-
love- to love the rose, the robin, to love their
parents, to love their God. Let it be the
studied object OF their domes tic culture to
give them warm hearts, ardent afiectioas:-
Bind your whole family together by these
strong cords. You cannot make them too
strong.
