SOCIAL RELATIONSHIP.
In a former Essay we attempted to
consider in th 6 light of Truth and COM:
Mon Sense the utility bf the Study of
"The Languages," Merely its confined
to, the nohle purpose of Mental Impro
mem. But man is not exclusively In:
tellectual. He is a Social Being—an In
tellectual-Social. Language is the in
visible agency by which communications
wing themselves from Sdul id Soul ,M
this vast family Scheme of Social, In
tellectual Beiiig: Language is the very
Incarnation of 'Thought; Without which
the affections and deiires would die for
want of utterance, and Mind would turn
in upon itself, to Up in morbid
Idiocy, and stand a Solitary VaCancy.—
From the Social Estate naturally springs
forth ad , indless variety of Relationships
—Domestic, Political, Mechanic, Pro- I
fessional, Literary, &c.,—which with
their obligations, diverge from one cen
tre, exteCd ihrOngh the Whole family and
bind the apparently discordant and di:,
verse, in One of Similitude and harmony.
But what is the unseen Conductor of
those affections, thoughts, desires, and
motives which alone sustain and enliven
these Relationships I It is Languag&--
the golden chain which shall lint: the'
Future to the Present—Whick thus far
Complete, already links the Present to
the Past, and which esfenditig even to
Heaven brings down Truth for Mortals.
From these high considerations we deem
it a strong obligatiorras as Melon:ire•
to cultivate an acquaintance with Lan
guage in its broadest and deepest extent.
This will tend vastly to the improve
ment, preservation, And enjoyment of
good and healthful Social Relatias.---
The humrn race should be elevated by
every possible means, and that by con- .
tinned, universal attention and exertion I:
for there is a natural proneness to degra
dation. There are sine branches of Lan- .
gunge which claim especial attention
and study. Three Modern—English,
French and German—because theNtilon
tain the choice and treasure of the Intel
lectual World of the present day. Three
Ancient—Latin, Greek and Hebrew—
for aro thc foundation:, of the '.'hole
World of Letters. These six constitute
a perfect Repository of Learning.—
Without an acquaintance with the Old
Three, a perfect knowledge of the New
Three is out of the question. After
studying theformer, the latter are easily
acquired. No man can become a good
English Scholar without some knowl- I
edgd of the Ancient Classics. He must
go back to the fountains. Why just
for eXaMple take the nano of what
every English Scholar must begin with .
—./11-phaba. It is an English, Latin,
Greek, Hebrew word. We got it from
the Latins, who made it by joining the .
first two letters of the Greek Language,
Alpha and Beta, from the Hebrew Aleph 1
and Beth. Thus our word. Alphabet,
Which we imitate by calling the "A B C."
Not only is a vast number of our words
derivative from the ancients, but this
duhiber is daily increasing. Our very
letters; the fundamentals of our Lan
guage,
the exact, well jointed foundation
stones of all our Learning, are borrowed
from those " Ancient Languages."—
Therefore joining this to that, we are
certain a stronginducement, if not a cot a
elusive argument, will come home to
every thinking individual for the study
of " the Languages." But consider a
few of the Relationshill, in detail.
Are you in DolliestiC circumstances?

Washington still whispers loud enough
on this subject, if you will only hear and

Relationships? Don't say; For if
you are an American, you are a Freeman

The study of "the Languages " are
very good for giving precise ideas And
in enabling any one in the search after
Truth. Many of the disputes of Man

Many other Relationships might be
mentioned to show why " the Lan
guages" should be studied with " might
and main." But. they show forth the
obligation, nay the necessity for suds
study, too obvious to be even mention
ed in a civilized community. These
few, though weakly connected and pre

How frequently do we see cases, in

they have accumulated a little mney,

are superior beings, and entitled to so

indulge in the error that money makes

to the rich, the fraudulent and the vi

as we have described. A friend of ours

very worthy family resided in a small
and humble dwelling. One of the chil

to the husband, which disabled hint fc'r

trifling in itself, but we have cited it, as

as sliming that in some cases at least,

There is another class that would-be
fashionable and important people of the
social world, who deserve to be pointed
out and rebuked. We allude to mere pre 7
tendcr and hangers-on, the parasites
and imitators of social aristocracy—the
class who like to boast of their acquain

rich individual or that important func

enjoyed by others: A More Miserable

cannot be conceived of. To associate
with an honest mechanic .!.nd his worthy

accumulated a few thousands, and who,

honor to human nature; and an ornament

Notwithstanding all that has been said

or by a mixture with► strawor earth, is
at least .four times the value of that left
in the barn-yard all summer expo* to

air and drenching its fertilizing salts
away ; yet many tiirmers still believe, or
act upon the principle of belief that ma
nure is like cider, growing better with
age; and thus their dung is„snfely kept
in the yard till August or, September, a
great nuisance to all around, and u sad
loss to the growing crops.

is considered indespensable for certain
