Reflections for Family Reading.
March Goth.

AS in everything else connected with
formation of character, we are too apt
to begin on the outside instead of be-
ginning with the heart, and trusting to
that, to form manners, and leave the
heart to chance and influences. The
golden rule contains the very life and
soul of pOliteneSS: Do unto others as
you would they should do unto you.
Unless children and yonth are taught,
by precept and example, to abhor what
is selfish and prefer another's pleasure
and comfort to their 0Wn, their polite
ness will be entirely artificial, and used
only when interest and policy dictate.
True poRtenes 10 perfect ease and free
dom treating others as you love to be
treated.
Nature 10 always graceful :: affectatiOn
with all her art can never produce any
thing half 80 pleasing. The very per
fection of elegance-is to initiate no
ture, how much better to have the re-
ality, than the imitation Anxiety
about the opinions of others, .1etters the
freedom of Nature and tends to awk-
wardness all would appear well, if they
never tried to assume, what they do
not possess. Everyone is respectable
and pleasing, so long as he or she is
perfectly natural, and truthful and
speaks and acts from the impulse of an
honest and afectionate heart, without
any anriety, as to what others think.
March 9th.
The time which we usually bestow
on the instruction of our children-in
principles, the reason of which they do
not understand, is worse than lost it is
teaching them to resign their faculties
to authority: it is improving their
memories, instead Of their understand
ings it is giving them credulity instead
of knowledge, and is preparing them for
any kind of slavery which can be i'm
posed upon them. Whereas if we as
sisted them in making experiments on
themselves, induced them to attend to
the consequences of every action: to
adjust their little deviatiOns, and fairly
and freely to exercise their powers,
they would collect facts which nothing
could controvert. These facts they
would deposit ,in their memories, as
secure and eternal treasures they
would he materials for reflection, and
in time, be formed into principles of
conduct, which no circumstances or
temptations could remove. This
would be method of forming a man
who would answer the ends of his be-
ing.
