of death blanches his cheek. Despair
seizes his breast. His daughter, his
only child, rushes out the doorway to
throw herself in Iter fathers arms and
shower upon him more kisses than there
were wounds on his breast or dents on
his shield. All the trintnphal splendor
vanished. Holding back this child
from his breast, and pushing the locks

into the eyes of inextinguishable afl'ec-
tion. with choked utterance he says:
••Would God I lay stark on the bloody

He lived teu years an idiot, and died
an idiot not knowing his right hand

forcing your children to know more
than any other children, but yon are
making a sacrifice of that child if by
addition to its intelligence you are mak-
nbtraction from its future. The
child will go away from such mal
treatment with no exuberance to fight
the battles of life. Such children may
get along very well while you take care
of them, hut when yon are older, or
dead, alas! for them if thiongh the
wrong system of education which you
dopted they have no swarthiness or
,rce of nature to take care of tliem-
slves. Be careful how you make the
child’s headache, or its heart flutter. I
hear a great deal about black men’s
rights, and Indian’s rights, and wo
men's right. Would to God that some
body would rise to plead for children’s
right*. The Carthagenians used to
sacrifi«c their children by putting them
into the arms of an idol which thru
forth its hand to receive them. The
child was put into the arms of the idol,
and no sooner touched the arms than
it dropped into the fire. £

ination and a hilarity about the styh
of education of which I am speaking, |
hut it is only laughter at the moment
| of sacrifice. Would God there were
I only one Jephthah’* daughter.

1 are sacrificing their children arith wrong
| system of discipline—too great rigor or
great leniency.

I speak, the whole nation without emo
tion and without shame looks upon the
stupendous sacrifice.
In the first place. I remark that much
of the system of education in onr day
is a system of sacrifice. When children
spend six or seven hoars in school, and
then must spend two or three hours in
preparation for school the next day,
will yoa tell me how ranch time they
will have for sunshine and fresh air,
and the obtaining of that exuberance
vrLicit is necessary for the duties of
coming life? No one can feel more
thankful than I do for the advancement

when the hour comes for the assertion
of parental supremacy and the subju

comes in the history of every child an
hour when it is tested whether the pa
rents shall rule or the. child shall rule.
That is the erucial hour. If the child
triumph in that hour, then he will
some day make you crouch. It is
horrible. I have witnessed it. A moth

fianced to some one who is only waiting
until his father dies so he can get the
property; then a little while they swing
around in the brilliant circles—then the
property is gone, and having no power
to earn a livelihood, the twain sink into
some corner of society, the husband an
tiler and a sot, the wife a drudge, a
slave, and a sacrifice. Ah! spare yoni
denunciations from Jeplithah’s head,
and expend them all on this wholesale
modern martyrdom.
I lift tip my voice to-day ag!
sacrifice of children. I look out of my
window on a Sabbath and I see a group
of children nnwashed, uncombed,
christened. Who cares for them? Who
prays for them? Who utters to them
one kind word? Who lifts them to the
altar for baptism? Who goes forth
suatch them np from crime and death
and woe? Who to-day will go forth
and bring them into schools
churches? No. Heap them up, great
piles of rags and wretchedness and filth,
l’nt underneath them the fires of sacri
