    witnessed a more extensive diffusion 01 liberality in the emancipation of our Catholic brethren , in this country and in Ireland , from various sanguinary laws which were so long a tenor to conscience , and a disgrace to both

    countries . I he . Legislature of Ireland having also removed ineligibihty to military offices , as well " with n-bpcct to Catholic as to Protestant Dissenters , we did hope that the absurdity of one Jaw existing for the army in this country , and another for the same-army when quartered in Ireland , would have induced the British

    Parliament to have paid « orne attention to the subject- We . still trust that it cannot remain long unnoticed , and we shall avail ourselves either of that , or any other favourable opportunity which may occur , to present our just and reasonable claim to the reconsideration of the House of . Commons . We cannot but . repeat our fen . vent wishes for the most strict and cordial union of every denomination of dissenters . We are

    extreme i y happy to perceive an increasing spirit of concord , and congratulate them on being more closely united than at any former period . . Religious prejudices are rapidly decaying ; the rancour . ous spirit of bigotry is giving place to the ' . mild and complacent genius of Chiistianity ; and ., with ¦ the utmost satisfaction , we anticipate the day when the distinctions of sects and parties shall be annihilated , and Christians shall know each other only by the name of their common master .

    indeed , the best foundation for the A m . child receives almost all his earliest pleasures from his parents , or in connection with them . These

    all leave behind them feelings which the ever-active principle of association unites and blends together , and connects with the appearance , and idea , and tiame of the parents , arid thus renders it pleasant to a child to see them , and to hear and think of them .

    By degrees he learns to distinguish them as the cause of many things that give him pleasure : he per . ceives them endeavouring to do

    what will make him feel happy he is the object of a thousand tender endearments and kind offices ; and every thing of the sort which at all affects his'lmiml , leaves some impression behind it , which unites andblemls with the

    feelings before produced by other similar circumstances . Thus gradually rises up in the mind , that part of thfe filial affection which we term love : If children have

    little intercourse with theirparents or that be lit tieproductive of pleading feelings , it will be weak ; m other cases it often early p roves very powerful . — -11 canriot advance far , without ¦ texdtfog »*
