'What! mean by Social Intercourse is the commingling to ge'.hor of biudred spirits in rational companionship ur the meeting and interchange of sentiment freely between those who may be susceptible of a tecijrc- C.iy of led. us Every pereon, young and old, selects ftora the mass of community some particular ones whom he endeavor to attach to himself in a friendly ri lation and wo of course reject the spirit most congenia to our own. Thus, little circles of intimates are formed, in which tho social principle is strongly do eIoped. These are sometimes confined to one eex, and sometimes both united. And hero I would make tho remark, that in my humbio opinion, we are not wise to confine the circles of intimates to -our own sex, for by so doing we are oftentimes led will; lei lie: thut set out tlie deeirine of live and let LIVE, doing to others si she would have others do to her ;let her thus act, and ihere is noihing t. which she ms) in justice be entitled, that will be withheld from tier.
