HiTHLBtfOOK *"? filUJCATION, DearSir,?Let us now pioceed 10 con. ider more fully, wt*f it is to form children to piety by example* This is R subject of ? re at extent, and, perhaps, of d fficulty. 'he difficulty, however, does not consist cither in the abstruseness of the arguments, or uncertainty of the facts upon which they are founded, but in the minuteness or trifL ir.g nature of the circumstances, taken separately, which makes them often either wholly unnoticed or greatly undervalued. It is a subject, Tvftich, if I mistake not, is much moTe easily conceived than explained. Ifyou have it constantly in your mind, that your whole visible deportment will powerfully, though insensibly, i lfluence the opin. tons and future conduct of your children, it will give a form or colour, ii I may speak ?o, to eve ry thing you say or do. There are numberless and nameless instances in which this reflection will make you speak, or refrain from speaking, act, or abstain from, some circumstances of action, in what you are engaged in ; nor w.H this beaccomfwmied with any reluctance in theonecasc, x>r constraint iu the other. I nnvcolf trlfh this. UUl 1 IliUAl IIUI VVIIIEIII ^ .... My profession gives me many opportunities of observing, that the impression made by general truths, however justly stated or fully proved, is seldom sftong or lasting. Let me, therefore descend to practice, and illustrate wha* I have said by examples, Here again a difficulty occurs. If I give a particular instance it will perhaps operate no farther than recommending a like conduct in circums ances the same, or perhaps perfectly similar. For example. I might say, m speaking to the disadvantage of absent persons, I beseech you never foil to add the reason why you take such liberty, and in. deed never take that liberty at all, but when it con be justified upon the principles of prudence, candour, and charity. A thing may be right in itself, but children should be made to see why it is right. This is one instance of exemplary caution, but if I were to add a dozen more to it, they would only keiifctacSied precepts ; whereas I am anxious to take in the wliole extent of edifying example. In order to this, la me range or divide what I have to say, under distinct Jieads. A pnrent who wishes that his example should be a speaking lesson to his children, should order it so as to convince them, that He considers religion as necessary, respectable, amiable, profiiable, and delightful. I am sensible, that some of these characters muy seem so nearly allied, as scarce. >.Uit a distinction. Alanv Darts of 1J W avumi VI ? ? f a virtuous conduct fall under more than one '' of these denominations. Some actions perhaps deserve all the epithets here mentioned, without exception and without prejudice one of another. But the distinctions seems to me very useful, for tliere is certainly a class of actions which may be said to belongpe. culiarly, or at least eminently, to each of these different heads. By taking ttiem, separately, therefore, it will serve to point oiit more fully the extern of your duty, and to suggest it when it would not otherwise occur, as well as to set the obligation to it in , she stronger light. 1. You should, in vour general deportfnctit, nwke your children perceive that you look upon religion as absolutely necessary, i place litis first, because it appears to me first both in point oforder and force. I am far I from being against taking all pains to show UmU religion is rational and honourable in it. ! s<;lf, and vice the contrary ; but I despise the foolish refinement of those, who, through fear of making children mercenary, are for being very sparing of the mention ot heaven or hell. Such conduct is apt to make them conceive, that a neglect of their duty is only falling short of a degree ot honour and advantage, which, for the gratification of their passions, they are very willing to relinquish. Many parents are much more ready to tell their children such or such a thing is mean, and not like a gentleman, than to warn them that they trill thereby incur the displeasure of their maker. But when the f>ruc!ice8 are really and deeply criminal, as in swearing and lying, it is quite improper to rest the matter there. J admit that they nre both mean, and that justice ought to be done to them in this respect; but I contend that it should only be a secondary coo. cideration. Let not human reasonings be put in the balance with divine wisdom. The care of our souls is represented in Scripture as the one thing needful. He mattes a miserable bargain, who gains the whole world and loses his own soul. It is not the native beauty of virtue, or the outward credit of it, or the inward satisfaction arising from it, or even * * ? 1 ?.u? .u... ?.:n i All tncso coniuiucu tugciucr, IIIUI 1*141 uc sufficient to change our natures and govern our conduct ; but a deep convic ion, that unless wo arc reconciled to God, we shall without doubt perish everlastingly. You will say, this is very true and very fit for a pulpit?but what is that class of actions tiut should impress it habitually on the minds of children ? perhaps you will even <*ay, what one action will any good man be guiJty of?much more habitual conduct? that can tend to weaken their belief of it ! This is the very point which I mean to ex. plain. It is certainly possible that a man may at stated times give out that he looks upon religion to be absolutely necessary, and yet his conduct in many particulars may have no tendency to impress this on the minds of his children. It he suffers particular religious duties to be easily displaced, to be shortened, postponed or omitted, upon the most trifling accounts, depend upon it, tht* will make religion in general seem less necessary, to those who observe it. If an unpleasant day will keep a man from public worship, when perhaps a hurricane will not keep him from an election meeting?if he chooses to take physic, or give it to his children on the Loud's day, when it could be done with equal ease on the day before or after--Jf he will more readily allow hisser. vants to pay a visit to their friends on that <Jay than any other, though he has reason to believe they will spond it in junketing and idleness?-it will not be easy to avoid suspecting that wordly advantage is what determinates his choice. I Take an example or two more on this I head. Supposing a man usually to wor i ship God in his family ; if ho sometimes omits he allow evey little business to iuterfere a ith it?.if company will make | him dispense with it, or shift it from its proper season?believe me, the idea of religion ' being every man's first and great concern, ' it is in a good measure weakened, if not , wholly lost. It is a very nice thing in re- i ligion to know the real connection between. 1 and the proper mixture of spirit and form j The form without the spirit is good for noili- j ing ; but on the other hand, the spirit without the form, never yet existed. lam of < opinion, that punctual and even scrupulous 1 regularity in all those dudes that occur per- ' iodically, is the way to make them easy j and pleasant to those who attend them. ( i 1? i?1.1,0 nllnfhpr habits, in t l uey tiisu uciuiiAt n?v - ? . some degree necessary ; so that those who J ? have been long accustomed to them, feel nn uneasiness in families where th(*y are generally or frequently neglected. 1 cannot help also mentioning to you, the great danger of paying and receiving visits on the Lord's day, unless whenit is absolutely ne- $ cessary. It is a matter not merely difficult, but wholly impracticable tn such cases, to guard effectually against improper subjects ? 1 of conversation. Nor is this all, for let the t conversation be what it will, I contend that y the duties of tho family and the closet are ? fully sufficient to employ the whole time ; d which must therefore be wasted or misap.

No pleasingness, no acceptance r indeed out of him ; but in him all acceptance of all that are in him. Nothing de. d lights the Father but in this view ; all the . world [is] as nothing in his eye, and all the J world hateful and abominable by sin. Thou ( with all thy good nature and good breeding, and good carriage, art vile and detestable out of Christ. But if thou get under the robe of Jesus, thou and all thy guiltiness, and vileness, then art thou lovely in the Father's eve.

Let not the Father then ' see us but in the Son, and all is well. b' Ahp. Leigfiton. J There is something extremely touching J as well us an excellent moral, in the follow, t ing anecdote. It is in strict cccordance with one of the earliest precepts of the Sa- ? viour of men. A Kiss for a Blow.?A visiter once t< wont into a Sabbath School at Boston, tl where he saw a boy and girl on one seut, b? who were brother and sister. In a moment of thoughtless passion, the little boy struck f, his sister. The little girl wns provoked and h raised her hand to return the blow. Her face showed that rage was working within, l< and her clenched fis? was aimed at her broth. ? er, wi.en her teacher caught her eye. * StoD mv dear," said he, * you had much J p '* ' r . - V # # . better kiss your brother than to strike him.*' 11 The look and th$. word reac.ied her ? heart. Her hand dropped. S.ie threw her arms round his neck and kissed him. The ti boy was moved. He could have stood against a blow but he could not withstand p a sister's kiss. He compared the provo. cation lie had given her with the return she had made, and the tears roiled down his cheeks. This affected the sister, and with her little handkerchief she wiped away his 1 tears. But the sight of kindness only made J him cry the faster for he was completely [ subdued. u Her teacher then told the children alwuys r to return a kiss for a blow; and they would never get any more blows. If men and c{ women, families and communities and na. ; tions, would act on this principle, this world would almost cease to be a vale of tears, t u Nation would not lift up the sword ag'inst < nation, neither would they learn war any J more."? Youth's Cabinet. I have known many instances of kind | n?-sses thut were both remembered and re? quite:!, after they had heen long forgotton 1 hy him who bestowed them. Nay, some- ; times they may be repaid in another gener.. , ation. It is no inconsiderable legacy for a i man to leave to his children, that he had a). I ways bet n a friend to others, and never refused his assistance to those who stood in j need of it. I Those who discover an universal j**alou. i sy, and indiscriminate contempt for man. 1 kind in general, give very little reason to 1 think well of themselves. Probably men are neither so good as they pretend, nor so bad as they are often thought to be. At any rate, candour in sentiment as well as conduct, as it is an important duty of religion, so it is a wise maxim for the conduct of life ; and I beheve these two things are very seldom if ever found either separate from, or opposed to each other.

He walks as in the presence of God that converses with him in frequent prayer and in frequent communion ; that runs to him in all his necessities ; that asks counsel of him in all his doublings ; that opens all his wants to htm; that asks remedy and support ! in his weakness; that fears him as njudge; reverences hirn as a lord; obeys him as a father ; and loves him as a patron.?

One dollar sure is better than two doubtful; and it will avail more upon a shift. If you cannot get full wages, take less ; better do so than be idle. Shun Idleness.?A shilling a day is better than nothing. The very act of being at work will procure employ, by and by, at a fair rate. Men avoid him who is always strolling about the streets ; he is judged urn. fit for any thing, and may die for^vant of employ. No is a very useful word?be net afraid [o use it.
