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.
