There are children turned out from the
school who once were full of romping and
laughter and bad check crimson with
health, who are now turned out In the after
noon pale faced, irritated, asthmatic, old be
fore their time. It I one of the svldeet
sight on earth, an old-mannhh boy or an
old-womanish girl.
Olrla 10 year of age studying algebra!
Hoy 11 year of age racking their brain
over trigonometry ! Children unacquainted
with their mother tongue crying over their
Latin, French and Oermnn lensonst All the
vivacity of their nature beaten out of them
by the heavy beetle of a Oreek lexicon ! And
you doctor them for this, an I you give
them a little medicine for thnt, and you
wonder what I tha matter with them. I
will tell yon what I the matter with Ihem i
they are finishing their education.
In my parish In rhlladelphla a child was
so pushed at school that she was thrown Into
a fever, and In her dying delirium, all night
long, she was trying to recite the multiplica
tion table. In my boyhood I remnmocr thnt
In our class at school there w.vs one lad who
knew more than all of u put together. If
we werefnst In our arithmetic, he extricated
u. When we stood up for tha spelling class,
ho was almost always the head of theclaea.
Visitors came to his father' house, nn 1 he
was almost alway brought In a a prodigy.
At 111 year of age he was an Idiot, tie live I
10 year an Idiot and died an idiot, not know
ing hi right hind from hi loft, or day from
night. The parent and tha teacher made
him an Idiot.
You may flatter yoorprlde by forcing your
children to know more than any other chil
dren, but you ar making a sacrifice of that
child If by the additions to Its Intnlligcncf
you am making a siihtrnctlon from it fu
ture. The child will go away fnmsucn mal
treatment with no exuberance to light the
battle of life. Hii"h children may get along
very well while you take care of them, but
when you are old and dead, alas ! for them
If through the wrong system of education
which you adopted, they have no swnrthl
ness or force of chnr.vtnr to take euro of
themselves. B careful how you make the
child's he I ache or it heart flutter.
I hear a great deal about black men's rights
and Chinamen' rights and Indians' right
and women's right. Wimld Ood that some
body would rise to plea l lor children's right !
The Carthnglnlnns usuj to sncrlllce their
children by putting thm Into thenrms of an
idol which thrust forth its hand. The child
was put into tho arms of the Idol, and no
sooner touched the arms than It dropped into
the lire. Hut It was the art of the mother
to keen the children smiling and laughing
until the moment they died. Them may be
a fascltintion and a hllirity nbout the Htyles
of education of which I am speak lug, ttit it
le only laughter at the moment of sacrifice.
Would Uod there weru only one Jopht bath's
daughter.
Again, there am many pnrenfs who are
s.icrillctng their children with wrong sys
tem of discipline too great rigor or too
great leniency.. There are children In fam
ilies who rule the household. They come to
the authority. The high chair In which the
Infant sits is the throne, and the rattle Is the
scepter, and the other ohllden make up the
parliament where father and mother have no
vote ! Much children come up to be mis
creants. There I uo chacco in this world for a child
that ha never learned to mind. Huuh peo
ple become the botheration of the church of
Ood, and the pest of the world. Children
that do not learn to obey human authority
are unwilling to learn to obey Divine author
ity. Children will not respect parent whose

What 1 life to a father whose sons are de
bauched? The dut of the valley 1 pleasant
to bin taste, uud the driving rain that
drip through the root of the sepalcher are
sweeter than the winea of Helbou.
There inuxt be harmony lietweeu tho
father's government and tho mother' gov
ernment. The father will be tempted to too
great vigor. The mother will bo tempted to
too great leniency. Hur tenderness will
overcome her. Her voice is n little softer:
her hand seems better tit to pull out u thorn
and soothe a pung. Children wanting any
thing from the mother cry for It. They hope
to dissolve her will with tears. Hut the mot ti
er must not interfere, must uot cou.t off,
must not beg for the child when the
hour come for the assertlou of par-ntal
supremacy and the suhjugutiou of u
child temper. There come iu the history
of every child on hour when It is teeted
whether the parent shall rule or the child
shall rule. That Is the crucial hour. Ifth"
child triumph In that hour, then he will
some day make you crouch. It I a borrilile
scene. I have witnessed It a mother conn
to old age, shivering with terror In the pres
ence of a sou who curxtHl her gray hairs and
mocked her wriukled face and begrudged hor

Hut. on the other hand, too jrwt rigor
arrra." "Oh." yon say, "that woa very oM
fashioned." It wa quite old fashioned. But
do yon suppose that a child under such
nurture a that eve. 'timed out bad?
In our day moat boy Mart out with no
Idea higher than tha all encompassing dol
lar. Thef start In an ag which boast it can
scratch the Lord' Prayer on a 10 cent piece,
and tha Ten tJommandment on a 10 cent
piece. Children are taught to reduce morals
and religion, time and eternity, to vulgar
traction. It aeem to ba their chief attain
ment that 10 eent make a dime, and 10 dime
make a dollar. How tv get money I only
equaled by the other art. how to keep If.
Tell me. ye who know, what chance there I
for those who start out In life with unh
perverted sentiments? Thn money market
resound agnln and again with the downfall
of such people. If I hnd a drop of blood on
the tip of a pen, I would tell you by what
awful tragedy many of the youth of this
oonntrr are ruined.
Fuither on thoussnds and tens of thou
sand of the daughter of America are sacri
ficed to worthiness. They are taught to lie In
vmpnthy with all the artificialities of society,
fhi-r are Induced into all the hollowne-w of
what 1 called fashlonnbln life. They am
taught to believe thnt history I dry, but that
W-cent atorie ol adventurous love am dell
clous. With capacity that might have rivaled
a Florence Nightingale in heavenly minis
tries, or made the lather's house glad with
filial ami sisterly demeanor, their life is a
waste, their beauty a curse, their eternity a
demolition.
In the siege of Charleston, during the
Civil War, a lleutmant of the army stood on
the floor lieelde the daughter of the ex-Oov-ernorof
theNMteof Houth Carollns, They
were taking the vows of marriage. A bonti
shell struck the roof, dropped into tho group
and nine were wounded and slain : among
the wounded to death, the bride. While the
bridegroom knelt on the carpi-t trying to
st, inch the wounds the bride demanded thnt
the ceremony be completed, that she
might take the vows liefore her de
parture, and when the minister said. "Wilt
thou be faithful unto desth" with her dying
Mfs she said. "I will," and In two hours she
had departed. That was the accidental
laughter and the sacrifice of the body, but
at thousands of marriage altars then are
daughters slsln for time and slain for etern
ity. It Is not a marriage i It is a inaas iere.

with Urn, but you cannot successfully light
your child's bad temper with your own bad
temper. We must not be too minute In our
inspection. We cannot expect our children
to be perfect. We must not see everything.
nluoe we nave two or tbree taints ol our own,
we ought uot to be too rough when we dis
cover that our children have a muny. If
tradition be true, when we were children we
were not all little huniuels, and our parents
were not fivirlul lest they could uot raise us
because of our premature goodness.
lou cannot scold or pound your children
Into nobility of chura-'ter. The bloom of a
child's heart nan never be seen under a cold
driv-le. Above all, avoid fritting anil
scolding In the household. Putter than 10
years of fretting at your children is one
good, round, old fashioned application of

"No," she said, "it Is nothing to be proud of,
but something for which to be very grateful."
Again, there are many who are sacrlllcing
their children to a spirit of worldllnuss.
Home otie asked a mother whose children
had turned out very well what was the secret
by which she prepared them for usefulness
and for the Christian life, and she said :
"This wu tho secret. Wheu lu the morning
I washed my children, I prayed that they
