It is the sunbeam of, maternal love that first penetrates into the heart of the infant, and de- velopi:-the - germ of tenderness rand affection, Which, without: this ray, Would , main, dormant, at least till awakened by acci dental compassion and benevolenee. It is &w -ing the first years'af existence OE4 the sympa thetic feelings operate most strongly . ; And, therefore, this lithe time that, yon (We address • • • every 'mother) must awaken thc pOwerful adec-, lions of your•child. It is by your hold on these afectinns that yoU will, chiefly influence its life and character. Mail yourself, therefore, of the seed time ; but let yoUr love be strenffthening; encouraging, exhilarating.; let your caresses be rather signs of aOrObation thanan indulgence of ;Our feelings. And seek not to engross.the feelings, which.you thus awakep to yourself, but rather to giVe them, as early ,as = possible, the character of benevolence.- I.9ve, whicli is too exclusively fixed on one oliect, is, even in oftincy,a s:nizto, of tears . and sorrow ; but,. by leading the - feelings to expand in grateful slid sympathetic: affection to all around them, you are euly preparing your • children for they else of the first and greatest of virtues—Chris- 'ian. charity. And, in the . earliest. Stages; of childhood, by the due i excitement and manage ment of the sympathetic feelings, we beli'ev.e this most important object may be effected:" ,The sympathetic and imitative tendencies o our nature are the very first width apkar to be in a state of activity ; take away sympathy and imitation, and what remains but dormant faculties and inert , dispoOntions ? How impor tant, then, must it be that the first' impulse should be given, in the right direction, to the imitative and sympathetic tendencm, in order that we may engage them in the service of all that is good, and amiable ? Our object roust f ever be to subdde evil, by good ; and to preven those special 'evils which are difficult after wards. to bore. Let, then, the gentle and kindly sympathies get, as it were, the start, and let us not even disdain the mechanicaVassistaneethey may re- ceive from the habituatexercise of the muscles they keep in play ; :for these muselee, accus tomed to .the expression of joy, kindness, and cheerfulns, will .not so easily betOken after wards the opposite qualities. Gradlially,'and very gently and, discreetly, liscourage shyness, and all appearance of coy, ungracious feelings towards strangers.; and, as tar as you san,.,ac custom:your children to return, with kind and joyful looks, the attention shown them. The Cordial and open-hearted manner, which :may. often be observed to run through some families is probably theeffect of early sympathy ; While mere external civility, and the hypocritical ex pressions of a cold anti Worldly heart, if no ticed at all by children, can proddce only pre-, judicial effects'; for children, at a , very early age, feel. with a surprising degree of instinc tive discrimination, the difference between gen uine feeling and that which is assumed or hyp . oeritidal: . The desire to excite sympathy .is a part of Ournature, and a constant interchange of sym pathy is, from the beginning to the end cif*tir existence,_the .great charm of life. .Take care, then,,yOu, never chill or. .close up the rising warm emotions of, the infant heart by neglect initO cuter into its .feelings, or to participate in its little joys - and sorrows,however they may appear to you.
