Social AFFEcrIoN.-Society has been aptly
compared to heap Of embers, which when sepa-
rated, soon languish, darken and expire but, if
placed together, glow with ruddy and intense
heat Just emblem Of the strength, happiness, and
the security derived from the union Of mankind
The savage, who never knew the blessings Of com
bination, and he who quits society from apathy or
misanthropc spleen, are like the separated embers,
dark, dead useless they neither give nor receive
heat, are neither loved nor beloved. To what acts
of heroism and virtue in every age and nation,
has not the impetus Of affection given rise To
what gloomy misery, despair, and even suicide,
has not the deserion of society led9 How often
in the busy haunts Of men, are all our noblest
and gentest virtues called forth And how in the
bosom of the recluse do all the soft emotions Ian
gush and grow faint Cashet.
