linerv; thus they learn to be finical, conceited, and fond of a gaudy out side. When they begin to speak they are encouraged to *peak a great deal without reverence to their company, for most parents think their children perfect prodigies of wit; thus they Jcarn pctulence, captionsness, andj want of respect for their superiors. Jt were, indeed, endless to enumerate the methods, which even well dispos ed parents may iudiscretely take in training their children. Cut pci'h j>s it is more easy on this subject to find fault, than to propose methods of improvement. Somehow ever may he proposed which at pro-S” ent are little attended to, and of which it is demonstrable that they must pro duce good effects. I,ct children be inured to form prcqrer notions of things, to consider clothes as intended to preserve them from cold,and food as the means of al laying hunger. Let them be taught that all men arc naturally equal, and that it is not rags but vice which ren ders risen contemptible. Let tltem be accustomed to reverence old age; and above all, to pay the utmost respect, deference, and attention to their pa rents. In this last respect, the antients thought more justly than we. A! Athens, every man who was a father, was pri v Hedged to correct another wants child, nml at. Rome, parents had sometimes, and in certain cas te, the power of life and death ov er their children. This was going too for, but we go too f\r in the other extreme. With us children arc often treat’ and by tin ir parents as if they were their equals; nay, children often coin the suneriom v; and learn to i) * • dispute a parents opinion. W henever h parent practices a vice in the presence of a rltih!, hr does in effect teach that .lid to he vicious in that parti? ula.., .or lie rec i jinuiH'i <‘s a vicious practice both by his authority and example. The same !s the case, w. ben ho pass by c.ureproved the faults cl'a child, while 1 <?•(’ child at the same time knows that his parent is not ignorant of the same. Honor and shame ere the most in g * ions motives to children in the v y of reward and punishment. They are indeed almost “the only rewards and punishments in which there is no risque of running to excess, and which may be safely indulged without injury to any virtuous prin ciple. Bodily correction, when it is necessary, should be applied to only as (lie last resource, and should be ad ministered with temper and discretion. To punish a child, when you are in a passion. makes him consider the cor-< lection in the light of revenge, and thus sets before him the example of every enormous vice. To phnish a child at one time for a fault, which you overlook at another time, makes him consider you as capricious, and of no settled principle. And children are, in fact more quicksighted in dis covering motives of action, and prin ciples of character than is commonly i RHgiucd although, perhaps they can. not express their discoveries in words, nor give any rational account of their inferences. In a word, parents ought to behave in such a manner, as to; render themselves as respectable as possible in the eyes of their children; to abstain from every appearance of evil, and to express the highest re gard to justice, humanity, modera tion, and the other parts of virtue, both in their words and acti ms. CABINET. THE VESPER , No. I. I love to view the varied tints of Spring, Or e’en a ‘Jutterfly’s embroidered Wing, Variety can please iu every thing. Asgx. Mr. Editor, The ephemeral existence of hu | man life is scarcely does man enter into the arena of manhood, i e*re the blighting frosLof age mar his jots and pleasures, and iu a briefj space, ho returns to the dust fr*Jtn whence lie sprung, unnoticed and for gotten. Yet short as this space is, there are in any incidents connected with his mortal pilgrimage, which yield moral and instructive lessons to his fellow sojourners, and which, while they are quietly passing down the stream of time, beguile the te diousness of care, and steal from the piercing sting of sorrow, its bitterest venom. Is there any who have not felt a share of worldly joys and worldly sorrows. Ago Isas not yet silvered my locks nor matured my judgement. But the season of manhood is rapidly passing away, and 1 have already seen many, very many, whose entree was as healthful and propitious as sny own, gathered to their fathers, ami small indeed is the minority now left of those who, in the days of boyish merriment, gaily revelled with me in the endearments of social pleasure during our schoolboy hours, .when for a brief moment,-we escaped from the pale of the litile village school hotistxawl without the leach of the birchen sceptre, we capered, with chil dish frivolity, to the m iry notes of ‘ Guild? roy* from the highly varnish and instrument of old Will’ the vil lage musician, who was often our lea dor in many mischievous pranks on lie or’ hards & gardens in the vicini ty. Sweetest moments of life ! Who it* du re that can revert to sm It scenes, with the listless apathv el indiflVr tm e ? Who that can remember, w ith out the warmest and u nth rest who lions, the sweet smiles aid youthful f .(inatious of female innocent e ? \\ ho forget the blush width placed on the bright t hcek, whence he bad stolen a kiss in rapture of innocent delight? When the ripening years of manhood has clouded the bro w with care, and the heart becomes callous in the culdi and calculating intercourse with the w odd, wliere >tUe shaft of unmerited utmrobiinn, often sinks the manliest ho.;oo in dejection, then indeed do, these <-nci* happy scenes of i hit jliuod j sometimes lln lor a moment across the mind, to pout tray, more vividly, its wretchedness. 1 have seen the fairest hopes of youth blighted, as the bubble which, for a moment, Boats on the air, reflect ing its tiny splendor beneath th.‘ rays hf the noon-day sun, then vanishes forever; and i have seen the eye of beauty brighten, and iiie lip smile in unrivalled sweetness, but yesterday, and to day, I have seen it enveloped in the cold damp of death, to ;qiarkle no more—Even so vanish all caitidy Jiopes, the fairy dreams of night are dispelled with the light of morning, and e‘rc the imagination has been left to revel a moment in the sweet vision of fancy, His gone, but to press the changeful reality more strongly upon the memory. With thoughts such as these, I had retired last evening, after a day of toilsome business, to the tranquil so litude of my counting room, and light ing a fragrant <flint,* seated myself in an arm chair, in the corner, to indulge in my favorite habit of tmtsin.,; a cheerful fire blazed on the hearth, and its agreeable warmth sum steeped my ! senses into forgetfulness. As slumber crept over my eyelids, fancy lent her aid to form as brilliant a picture as ever addled the brain of a child of j imagination—the whole scenes of an eventful life, passed in review before . me; in a moment, l was transported to the home of my youth, and around me were (hose who iiail so often contribu ted to its pleasures—friends, connex ions and schoolmates all greeted me with the sincerest welcome, and each | seemed emulous to render it as happy |as it was, e’er 1 had first bid adieu to jits peaceful shades—the same fresh bloom of youth suffused each cheek and every eye brightened with the same fond beam of affection. But • e’er I had fully revelled in the fond delight, a smarting sensation on my lips destroyed the delusion, the too near approach of the fire of my cy gar to my lips awakened me. This delightful dream, snort as it was, ias recalled to memory, many who, afteT & f' ;W *v*nlfMl years in this world, have p.uwed to another and a brighter sphere.
