This fimple off'ring of efieem
Tot take it as a tribute due
To truth, to friendfhip and to you :
And with it take this fervent pray'r,
That heaven may blefs you with its

May virtue in your heart prefide,
May prudence all your actions guide j’
May peace attend your future hours ,
May love your pathway drew with
flowers ;
And may you ever bond a friend
True as him by whom thefe lines arc
penn'd.
PARENTAL DUTY.
From our parents are received
shofe fir ft impreffions that form the
mind, and influence the conduct.
In the early days of childhood, are
often formed, thofe habits that ex
tend through life. At this feafofi
we are generally under the guid
ance and of parents; in
whofe hands is placed the power of
influencing in a great degree, to the
purfuit of virtue or vice, by their
own example and'precept. It is in
families the firft feeds of virtue are
Town, that, properly nurtured fpring
up to graceful fruit, and afford com
fort in manhood and old age. In
thefe domeftic circles alfo are firft
imbibed thofe inclinations to vice,
f that prove the bane of happinefs,
and the peft of lociety ; or if fuch
L/C lUC Uliv.lpilUC HI. .iu
vicious practices are there tolerated,
an indulgence, that affords to the
ardor of inexperience, opportuni
ties of pilrfuing them elfewhere,
produces a fimilar effect upon the
offspring, while it throws the fame
blame upon the parent. By nature
all are inclined to purfue finful
courfes. Youth is the proper fea
fon to eradicate thefe natural pro
penfuies, and implant others in their
room, that {hall operate more to
the honor of God and the good of
man. If therefore youth are left r/o
their own guidance, or are fuffered
to behold improper examples/ in
thofe whom the order of nature/ has
placed over and around them, they
fddom fail of being corrupt and of
falling a prey to vice. The infant
mind juft expanding and gradually
unfolding its powers, befog as yet
unable to difeern the fupdriority of
wifdom over folly, receives impli
citly from others and yield to their
experience under the fulleft per
fuafion of its- corre&ncls —While in
this tender (late, it is readily im
prefil-d by whatever objects fur
round it. As foft wax in the mould
ing hand of the artift readily re
ceives the form he vrifhes to im
part, fo the youth juft coming for
ward into life, yielding to the pre
cedence of example, obtains be
neath its preffure an according af
pedt. In one the impreffion is ea-.
lily eradicated ; in the other hand
it is found difficult to fupplant;
confirmed by habit, and (Lengthen
ing with age, the influence is in a
greater or left degree extended tfiro*
life. A man's opinions are biaffed
according to firft impreffions ; hi3
prejudices founded on education;
and his principles often formed
from influence received in child
hood. Thefe opinions, prejudices
and principles, determine his cha
radter with others, his happinefs in
this world and his final fituation and
happinefs in a future ftate. How
awful is the firuation of parents l—■
How refponfible the condu<st of
thofe who are entrufted with the
education of youth ! In their hands
a mod valuable charge is placed—
the happinefs of immortal fouls !—•
The well being not only of the in
dividuals immediately under their
care; but alfo, in a mtafure of all
thofe to be in future reared and in
influenced by thole individuals ex
tending in a lengthening chain to
inconceivable duration.
FROM THE LOUISVILLE GAZETTE.
THE MORALIST,
There is nothing by which the
happinefs of individuals and of fo
ciety is fo much promoted as by
conftant efforts to pleafe—and thefe
efforts are in a great meafure pro
duced'by the company of women ;
for men, by them lei ves, relax in
every particular cf good breeding,
and appear as creatures of mere na
ture ; but no fooner does a woman
appear, than the feene is entirely
changed, and they become emulous
to fhevv all their good qualificati
ons. It is by the art of pleajing only
that women can attain to any de
gree of conftquence or of power ;
and it is by pltafing only, that they
can hope to become objects of love
and affedtion; attainments which,
f as they are of all others the moft
dear to them, prompt them to cul
tivate moft afiiduoufty the arc of
pleafing; arts for which they are
well qualified by nature. In their
forms, lovely; in their manners,
foft and engaging : fuch are they
by nature and by art that they can
n.ui- -// •%. vy cneir air
and adc/refs, a thoufand namele.s
fweets in focierv, which without
them <//ould be infipid and barren of
fentia/ent and feeling. But to en
joy any pleafure in perfedtion, we
niuft never be fatiated with it ; and
therefore it requires more than com
mon prudence in women, to be
much in and ftill retain
that deference and refpedt which
we would voluntarily pay her, v/ere
we feldomer indulged with her pre
fence. A few centuries ago, wo
men were rarely acceffible, but ftiut
up in houfes and caftles, lived re
tired from the buftle of the world.
When they defigned to Ihew them
fclves, they were approached as di
vinities : a tranfient view of them
often fet the heart on fire ; and
their ; frniles conferred happineis,
which raifed. an enthufiaftic ardor,
Of which at this period we can hard
ly have any idea. By degrees, as
manners became more free, and the
{exes mixed together v/ith lefs ce
remony, woman began to be feen
with lefs trepidation, .approached
v/ith left reverence, and funk in
their value as they became objedts
of greater familiarity. Nor was
this peculiar to thofe times—the
fame effedt always has, and always
will happen from the fame caufe ;
ler the other fex, therefore, learn
this inftrudtive leffon from it.—■
That half the efteem and venera
tion we fbew them, is owing to
their modefty and referve, and that
a contrary condudh may make the
moft enchanting goddefs degene
rate in our eyes to a mere woman,
with all the frailties of mortality
about her.
