attachments l attachments to persons and places are among the most familiar sentiments of the human heart yet there are some very mis taken notions respecting them the gen eral idea is that they are or ought to be as enduring as the heart itself that no one who has ever cherished either friendship for man or woman should change or can change and that let our circumstances ot our situation on the globe be changed as they may we must never forget thoyeople who formerly were around us or the spot we once called our home thus when we part from a friend whom we are almost certain never to see

believed it impossible ever again to form such at tachments as those we are just breaking it may be whispered to us that there is mboh pleasure in novelty and that we may perhaps soon forget our ojd friends for the sake of the new and lose the recol lection of former scenes in the charm of those to come brit we repel these insinua tions with indignation now the truth is we are not designed to live upon the recollection of either past fades or past scenes suppose for instance the case in which friendships are supposed to be most warm a bchofei intimacy who that ever entertained even the most enthusiastic attachment of this kind and on parting vowed to write regularly every month if not oftener everfound that the correspondence was in the least degree in teresting after the first year
