Social Afllnity.
What does it mean? Ah! to
the American it means more than
tongue can tell. The London
Time}i in speaking of the Dcochcr-
Tilton scandal, says, that it is a
characteristic of American civili
zation ; and canyon, Oh, America
deny it? Fain would we have
this unavoidldc truth grope forever
in darkness, hut mira/tile dicta, if j baser
it cannot he elicited, it can and is
extorted from the public mind,
by the many, many instances of
that social affinity, which meet
our public, and private glances.
The foundation of political hap- j sent
pinoss, is “ faith in the integrity
of men." The foundation of do
mestic happiness is *• faith in the
virtue of woman.” It is a self-
evident truth, that when Un
people lose their faith in the in
tegrity of their rulers, that then,
the mighty fabric of government
begins to topple. So, when there
is a consciousness in the people
that all principle—the very sub
stratum upon which the fabric of
divine government rests, has gone
from their rulers, then they begin
to adjust themselves accordingly,
for then they know that soon the
•• key-stone of liberty ” must fall.
Thus it is, that when a man looses
faith in the virtue of his wife, then
all domestic happiness ceases; for
everything besides this in the
married state is accessory, in con
ducing to the happiness of each,
to this one leading, and dearly
cherished consolation, the virtue
of his life companion
No one will deny the assertion
( who has had an opportunity of
seeing) that social affinity is an
inseparable concomitant of Ameri
can society to-day. If you travel
the thoroughfares, yon will see
the wife of. probably some honest,
hard working man, seated in close
proximity to some gallant and
youthful American, talking with
all the animation of some in
mate of an Eastern seraglio, of
the fashionable immoralities of
the day. and easting her wistful
and winning glances towards her
f>ppy companion, as if to say.
married life does not afford to me
all of the joys I so much crave.
It is useless to say that the
young ladies ot the day are vota
ries to (lie same conversation and
"insome smiles towards the other
sex : for if the fountain is corrupt,
tho water will be impure. A few
years ago, it was saying a great
deal, to assert that a young lady
was •• Pertbut now, oil, lovely
maiden, do not blush, you have
fallen a victim to that social at
traction or magnetism, that intense
love, to be always with some fond
charmer tq _talk and look your
every care, (if. any there be)
away.
Affection for either sex, by each
other, in our day, has gotten to
be a thing of convenienec. That
pure nnalloyd love that once
charaetorize.d our parents has been
modified by this universally pre
valent social attraction, which,
like the attraction at the earth’s
centre, drawing everything to it,
completely absorbs that purer,
better feeling, until it looses its
identity.
The last decade has produced
in the South, thisMnighty and aw
ful change in the social feelings of
the Southern people. I appre
hend that it comes from this con
stant and burdensome idea of civil
and social equality. To have told
a Southern man in 1K150, that he
would in a few years walk up to
the polls and east his ballot, in
company with the generous son of
Africa, would have been revolting
to liim, and he would have ex
claimed, you’re a monster; but do
we not see this undeniably veri
fied ?
So human nature is n creature
easily and imperceptibly educa
ted—physically and mentally.
There has been thus a gradual
and constant tailing off of that high
s »eial position or plane of south
eon society, since the commence
ment of the war. I do not mean
that the rich or opulent have been
denied the privilege of riding in
their costly phatons; that the
grim visage of Mars has depri
ved them of the luxuries of a once
proud patrician civilization, but
that owing to the many latent and
stealing influences, caused by the
many current issues of an immod-
■Tite civilization, that the hi
plan of moral demarcation, and
wholesome restraint, which once
characterized, Southern society,
has been lowered to a vast, degree.

Post Mortem Love.
Wlty is it that so many pcoply keep
all tlmir pleasant tliouglits and kind
words about a man lmt I let I anil sealed
up until lie is dead, when they come
and break the hot tic over his coffin and
halite his shroud in fragrance ? Many
a man goes through file with scarcely
oiitt bright, cheering, encouraging, hel|»-
ful word. He toil hard and in lowly
obscurity. He givesout his life freely
and unstintedly tor others. I remem
ber such a man. He was not brilliant;
but lie was faithful. lie had many
things to discoseourage him. Troubles
thickened nlmut bis life. He was mis-
repre enttd and nt';understood. Ev-
orylwxly believed that he was a good
man, but no one ever said a kindly or
pleasant. thing to him. He ncx'cr
h?ard a compliment, scarcely ever a
good wish. No one ever took any
pains to encourage him to strengthen
itis feeble knees, to lighten his burdens,
or to lift up his hear! by a gentle deed
of love or a cheerful word. II- was
neglected. Unkind tilings were often
said of him.
I stood liy his coffin, and there were
many tongues to speak his praise. There
was not a breath of aspiration in the
air. Men spoke of self-denials, of Iris
werk among the poor, of his good
qualities, of his quietness, his modesty,
his humility, his presence of heart, his
faith and prayer. There were many
who spoke indignantly of the charges
that, falsehood bad forged against him
in the past years, and of the treatment
he had received. There were enough
kind things said durixgthe two or three
day* that ho lay in the coffin, and while
the company stood around his open
grave, to have blessed him and made
him happy during all his fifty years,
ami to have thrown sweetness and joy
about his soul during all his painful
and weary journey. But hisears were
closed then, and could not hear a word
that xvas spoken. His heart xvas still
ihen, and could not lie thrilled by the
grateful sounds. He cared nothing
then for the.,sweet flowers that; were
piled upon his coffin. The love blos
somed out too late. The kindness came
when the life could not receive its
blessing. ' '
And I said then that I would not
keep all my kind words, nnd all my
pleasant thoughts and feelings, about
mv neighbor, locked up in my breast
till lie is dead. They will do him no
good then. His dead hand caiient feel
the warm pressure. Gentle words will
not make his pale, cold face glow. It
will be too late, when he lies in the cof
fin, to seek to make him happy, to lift
the. shadows off his life, or to hrighten
his path.
It costs but little to give men a great
deal of joy out! help. One brought a
hunch of flowers to nty table, and for a
w’ ole week they filled mv room with
fragrance. One wrote ntc a cheering
letter, breathing a spirit of gratitude
and love. It came when I was weary
nnd JfprtsiTil, «nd vw like iliv lllWt
prepared hy the angel for the old pro
phet. I went on its blessed strength
for many days. One met me on the
street and spoke an encouraging word
and grasped me wnrrnlv by the hand ;
and for hours I felt that warm grasp
and heard that word echoing through
my soul. A little child mav hrighten
scores of lives every day. There is not
one of us who may not gladden and
strengthen mnnv a heart between every
rising and selling sun. Wfiy should
we not live lo bless the living, to cheer
the disheartened, to sweeten cups that
arc bilter, to hold up the hands that
hang down, to comfort those that
mourn, to hear joy iuto joyless homes?
Kind words will not spoil a man. If
a sermon helps yon it will do the
preacher no harm to tell him so. If tiie
editor writes an article that does von
good, he can write a still better one if
you send him a word of thanks. If a
book blesses you. do you not owe it to
the author to write a grateful acknowl
edgement ? If you know a weary or
neglected one, would it not he such
work as angels do, would it not be
Christ-like work, to seek every oppor
tunity to brighten and bless that fife ?
Do not wait till the eyes are closed, the
ears deaf, and the arm stilled. Do it
now. Pott mortem kindnesses do not
cheer. Flowers on the coffin cast no
firagracc backward over the weary days.
—Rev. J. R- Miller.
