YOUR BEST FRIENDS.

After all the fine things said about friendship, wo ore still of tho opinion that, as a rule, a man's best friends in this world are those of his own blood. AVo believe that a large half of the happiness of the human race is due to consanguineous relationship, and that he is a foe to human welfare whose conduct or opinions tend to ■Weaken this sacred tie. As a general rule, the noble audjpurc, so far as wo havo observed, are fond of the old homo of their childhood, and of them Who sat witli them round its old fire place. As a rule, that man is to be distrusted who loves not his brother ; and the woman who loves not her pister is, except is rare, peculiar inetances, a woman who is not herself beloved. Cherish your kindred young people. Grandfather, grandmother parents, brothers, sisters, cousins and Becond cousins—make much of them all. You will find no such friends as they will bo, if you arc what you should be to them. Husbands and wives should love and cherish each other. Even consanguineous kindred who intrude, or even attempt to intrude, their "officious affection" between husband and wife, should be at once and forever given to understand that it will not do for fools to rush in where angles dare not tread.
