The influence of the parental char acter on children is not to be calcu lated. Every thing around bas an influence on us. Indeed the influence of things is so great, that, by finuil- iarity with them, they insensibly urge on ns principles and feelings which we before abhorred. I knew a man who took ft political paper, only to laugh at It. But, at length, he had read the same things again and again, so often, that he began to think there must be some truth in them; and that men and measures were really such as they were so often said to be. A drop of water seems to have no influence on the stone; but it will, In the end, wear its way through. If there be, therefore, such a mighty influence in every thing around us, the Parental Influence must be great indeed. Consistency is the great character, in " good pareuts, which impresses children. They may witness much temper; but if they sec their father “keep the even tenor of his way,” his imperfections will be understood and allowed for as reason opens. The child will see aud reflect on his parent’s intentions: and this will have great influence on his mind. This influence may, indeed, be after wards counteracted: but that only proves that contrary currents may arise, and eaWy the cbtkl another Way.. Old Adam may be too strong j ing under the vices of their children 1 for young Melauethon. j This is all the effect of Parental The implantation of principles is Influence. thunders they ure matter not I* Wi After all, ud the they can return to God KTST Bo-religious, or other.

VS'hate tar soi t of man be is. ancli, ia a great degree, will be ti«6 child; unless const it u tiou or accident give him ifltothcr turn. If the parent is a fantastic man—if he Is a genealogist, knows nothing hat who married such an one and who married souk an one— if he is a aenea&listf t low wretch— his children wilt usually catch these tastes. If he ia a Btermry man. his very girls will talk learnedly. If he is a griping, hard, miserly man, Mich will lie his children. This I speak of as generally the case. It way happen that the parent's disposition may have ao ground to work on in that of the child. It may happen that the child may be drive* into disgust: the miser, for instance, often implants disgust, and his son becomes a spendthrift. After all, in some cases, perhaps, everything seems to have been done aud exhibited by the ptous parent in vain. Yet he easts hi* bread upon the waters. Aud, perhaps, after lie has been in his grove twenty years, his son remembers what his father told him. Besides, Parental Influence must be great, because God has said that it sliall be so. The parent is not to stand reasoning and calculating. God has said that his diameter shall have influence. And this appointment of Prori deuce becomes often the pnnisbnieut of a wicked man. Such a roan is ft complete selfish I am weary of bearing such rneu talk about their “family*—and their ‘•family’*—they “must provide for their family.” Their family has no place in thdr real regard. They push for them Reives. But God says, “Not You think your children shall be so and so. But they shall be rods for your own backs. They shall be curse. They shaH rise up against you.” The moat common of all human complaints is—Parents groan long habits of regularity aad tom- poranc*. I never'stocked or chewed tobaoco. I fierier tarew tatottoattaa. Throughout all ay pfibiid Mfe I maintained the same regular aad systematic habits of living to Which had previously bean accustomed, never allowed my .usual boars for sleep to be Interraptad. 9V (tottatA I alunyt kept a* a dag tf rest. Be sides being a religions duty, it was anUal to health. On commencing my preetdential career, I found that the Sabbath had foaqwmrtly been employed by visitors for private ta treview* with the president. I de termined to pot an end to this cws i, and entered my door-keeper to meet all Sunday visitors with an indiscriminate ref anal. While chair man of the Committor of Waya and Moans in Oongrrea, and during my entire presidential career, my talmrs were always on crows and often ex cessive, bat I never suffered an bear of sieknuM through them all.* Our conversation was Interrupted by a summons from our bootees to tbe supper room. Oy sters, irc-crcam, turkey ami jellies were spread oat upon tbe generous table, aud tbe guests attacked the luxurious repast ithout merry either to it or to emselves. I watched the ovpreahteut with no little interest. Everything which dd tempt the palate was offered to him, but to all he politely aaid, “No, 1 tliauk you.” He simply ripped a cap of tew, to avoid la-tag singular, with his usual courtesy. I oust my eye over the room foil of guests, and could not mo one who looked as healthy as be; not une who seemingly with as much impu nity might indulge in a surfeit at I led-time. How the example of bis temperance affected others I know not, but I went away from that evening party with a new resolve to eat lean, that I might work more and to better pur;-one. ♦CHILDREN.

YOUTH. Hr- Filhnort’s Habits and Health. It was my privilege to meet our honored ex-president a few eveni since at a social entertainment. Sit ting down for a few momenta con versation with him, I was struck with liis singularly healthy appearance. Everything about his noble frame indicated a man of iron constitution; the erect posture, tbe cheeks of ruck dy glow, the full muscular develop ment. I would have been glad to converse with him about political affairs, in which his interest unabated ; but my curiosity I find in myself another evidence chiefly excited to know the secret of the greatness of Parental Influ ence. I detect myself to this day, in laying down maxims in my family, which I took up at three or four years of Age, before I could possibly know tbe reason of the thing. It is of incalculable importance to obtain a hold on the conscience. Children have a conscience; and it is not sewed, though it is eviL Bringing the eternal world into their view—planning aud acting with that world before us—this gains, at length, such a hold on them, that, with ail the Infidel poison which they may afterward imbibe, thete are few children who, at night—iu- their chamber—in the dark—in a storm* of thunder—will not feel, • It to 1 tagi -tittle for wmute cried Learie, “what ere* you flirt in tlife wood is yeoroj you can never fold the owner; bwt there to no need to offer It to the boys.
