But it is not necelT.try to expa tiate on the mifeiy of family diffeil- To what wiekednefs, ns well as wrctchednefs, matrimonial dii’agree- merits lead, every day’s hitlory will clearly inform us. When the huf- band is driven from his home by a termagant, he will, if not rooted in piety, feels that enjoyment, which is denied him at home, in the haunts of vice, and in the riots of intemper ance. Nor can female corruption be wondered at, though it muil be- greatly pittied and regretted, when the heart of a hutb.md, which ' tions. I mean more particularly to | ove and friendftiip lltould warm, We recommend a f-rions and a'tten- tive perufal of the following ju dicious attd well written efl'ay. j FAMILY DISAGREEMENTS. j After all our complaints of the j uncertainty of human atl'airs, it is j undoubtedly true, that more mifery I is produced among us by the irregu larities of the tempers, than by real misfortunes. And it is a circum- ftaiice particularly unhappy, that j the fie irregularities of the tempers j are moll apt to difplay themfelves at ; onr fire-fides where every thing j ought to be tranquil and ferene. j The perverlion ol the bell things converts them to the worlt. Home is certainly, well adapted for repofe and folid enjoyment, when accom panied with the genuine influence of religion. Among parents, and brothers and fillers, and all the ten der charities of private life, the gen tler affections, which are always at tended with feelings purely and per manently pleafurab'e, find an ample fcope for proper exertion. The ex perienced have often declared, after wearying themfelves in purfuing phantoms, that they have fountl fub- ilantial plesfure in the domeftic circle. Hither they have returned from the bufy, diilipated world, as the bird, afterfluttering into the air, defeends into her neR, to partake of and increafe its genial warmth, with her young ones. Such and fo fweet are the com forts of home, when not preverted . by the folly and weaknefs of man. Indifference, and a carelefTncfs on ■ the fubjeX of pleafing thofe whom, of all below, it is our heft interells to pleafe, often rentiers it a fcenc of dulnefs and Infipidity. Happy if the evil extended no farther, hut the tranfition from the negative ftate of not being pleafed, to pofitive ill- humor, is but too eafy. Fretfulnefs and peeviflmefs arifes, as nettles ve nd profligacy or an | Ifteti'-fs or (to fpenk more according :uliarly fruitful of lt) Bie Grades of Goil) courtefy of fugged,- that family diflention, be- Ttiles all its own itntnendiate evils, is the fruitful parent of moral mif- condticl. Waithe feveral parts whicli co mofc a family, un ? ify in tlut h >m ral.y the feat of mutual enjoyment, they are tempted from the llraight ro ul of Chtittun prudence, to pur- fu' happinefs throught a devious wild of pa Hi on and imagination. The fon, arrived at years of inaturi- ty. who it; treated hdtfhly at home, will feldom fpend his evenings at the domedic fire li-le. If he fives in the city, he will fly for refuge to company, and in rite end it is very p ob-.ble he will form fome unhap py connexion, winch cannot b-e continued without a plentiful lup- j ply of money. Money, it is proha- ! hie, cannot he procured honeilly I b.ic from the p rent ; but money mult at all events' be procured. | What then remains, but to put fue j thole methods which unprincipled j ingenuity has invented, and which j footier or later lead to their proper j pui-.ifhments, pain, flinme, ft death ! But though the cottfcqtiences are not always fuch as the operation of human laws produces, yet they are always terrible, and deltruclive of 1> ippinefs, virtue, and every latent fpurk of piety to God. Mifery is, indeed, the neceflary refui; uf gfi de viation from reXitudv ; hut ea-'y licentioufuefs and profligacy of all kinds, are pec vtetcltcdnefs, as thev low the feeos of mifery in the fpring ol life, when all that is fown (trikes deep root, and buds and blofloms, and brings forth fruit in prof ale abun dance. In the difagreements between children and parents, it is certain, that the defective, experience, ren der them difobedietit and umluti- ful. Their love of pleafure operates fo violently, as often to deftroy the force of filial affeXion, as well as all fear cf the Molt High. A parent is flung to the heart by the itigt ari- tude of the child, i Ie checks his pre cipitancy, and perhaps, with too lit tle command of tempe-r. Afperitv produces afpericy But the child was the aggreflor, and therefore tie- | ferves a great part cf the mifery which enfues. It is, however cer tain, that the parents is often im prudent, as well as tile child unduti fill. The parent fhould endeavor to render home rgreeable, by gen tle treatment: for man at every age willies to he pleafed, but more par ticularly at the juvenile age. He Ihould indeed maintain his authori ty ; but it fhould he like the mild dominion of a limited monarch, and not the iron rule of an aultere ty rant. If home be rendered pleif- ing, it will not be long deferted The prodigal will foon return, when his father’s lioufe is always ready to receive him with joy. Parents fhould never forget the word of God, delivered by St. Paul, “ A’e fathers, provoke not your children to wrath. Eph. vi. 4 What is fald of the confeqttences hatred is found to rankle.

But it avails little, to point out evils, wi bout recommending a re medy. G..e oi the-finl rules which } fuggefts itfclf, is, that families | ihould endeavour, by often and f> ! rioufly refl-;Xing on the iubject, to I convince themfeives, that not only the enjoyment, but the piety an-1 virtue of every individual greatly depend, under the grace and hell ing of God, on a coaiud Union. When they are convinced of this, they will endeavour to promote it : and it moll providentia ly happens, that the vt-ty vvilh and ate mpt of every individual mult infallibly fe- curc 1'ucc els. A ttother molt excellent rule is, to avoid a grofs familiarity, even where the conneXioti is molt inti mate The human heat t is fo con- fl tutted ns to love refpecl. It would indeed, be unnatural in very inti mate friends, to behave to each other with ftiilYiefs j but there is a ilifier- ence attd a delicacy of manner, that tend to preferve that degree of ef- teem, which is lieceiiary to fupport ..fi* Xi'an, and which is loft in con tempt, when it deviates into excef- five familiarity.
