Holding back his clilld from his heaving breast arid pushing tho locks back from tho fair broW and looking Into the eyes of iheXtlilgulslmblrt afTootiom With choked Utterance lie says; “Would God I lay stark ori the bloody plain. My daughter, iny only child; joy of my. home, life of rny life, thori aft the Sacriflco!” The wholri matter was explainod to her. This was no whining, hollow hearted girl into whoso eyes tho father looked. All the glory of sword and shield vanished in tho presence of tho valor of tliut girl. There may have boon a tromorof the lip as a roso leaf trembles in tho sough of tho south wind, there may have been the starting of a tear like a raindrop shook from tho anther of a j water lily, but with a self sacrifice that man “ “ 4 * “ * only Woman’s heart can rs herself to flro and to out in tho words of my m,* , Wo canuot afford to allow our children n health to bo destroyed in order that they may gather tlio honors of an institution ” Tons, thousands Of rhUdfpri e^ucatnd idled With ihfb imbbeliity* SO ooimeeted witli many suoli literary establishments there ought to be asylums for tho wrecked.

I will tell you what is tho matter with them ; they are finishing their education. In my parish in Philadelphia a child Was so, pushed m fiotiPPl that Bho Wtlfl I brown ititd il lever, niid in her .dying delirium; all night long; sIrmVas trying to recite fho mviltlpllca- tlBn tilblol lii riijt bdvhortd 1 remember that ili our class at school there was one lad who know more than nil of us, put together. If wo were fust in our arithmetic, he extricated us. When we stood up for the spelling class, he was almost always the head of the class. , Visitors came to his father’s house, and ho Was almost; always brought 111 ns ft prodigy. A1 i8 years of age he was nil idiot, lie lived 10 years an Idtdt arid died an idiot; not know ing, Ills right hand ffdtii.hic left; or day from flight; t Tlio jiateiiU and the teadhdrs made him an idiot. You may flatter your pride by forcing your children to know moro than any other chil dren, but you are making a Baorifloo of that ohtld if by the additions to its Intelligence you aro making a subtraction from its fu ture, The child will go away from seen mnl- troatrifalU With rid exiibqraiiod td fight the battle df life. Hiioli oUihtroil may get along very well while yoii take care of them, but when you are old and (load, alas ! for them if through tho wrong System df education which yoii nddptddi they have no swarthi ness or force of character to take care of themselves. Be careful how you make tho child’s head noho or its heart flutter. I hear a great deal about black men’s rights nnd Chinamen’s rights and Indians’ rights and women’s rights. Would God that some body would rise to ploild for children's right! Thd Larthngltiinria used to Haorlfleo their tjhildrori by putting thorn Into tho arms of an idol which thrust forth ite hand. The child was put into the arms of the idol; and no sooner touched the arms than it dropped Into the fire; But it was the nrt bf tho mothers td keep thd children Bnuling and laughing Until tho moment they died. There may be a fascination and a hilarity about tlio styles of education of which I am speaking, but it is only laughter at tho moment of sacrifice. Would God there were ^nly ono Jephtlmtli’s daughter. Again, then' arc miifly parents who nro Sacrificing their ohildtVri With Wrong sys tems of diSctolltier—too? great rigor or too great leniency. There Are children in fam ilies who rule the household. They oomoRj the authority. Tho 111 gay oh air In which t|p Infant sits is tlio throne, fluid the rattles tnc scepter, and tho other ehUldan make up the parliament where father arid mother have do vote! Buch children cable up to bo mis creants. i There is no dialled in fct(ls world for a child that luiS hover learned tb jniwh Bileh peo ple become the bothoratlfjri of tho Church of God arid tho post bf the world. tJhlldron that dd not learn td obey human authority are unwilling to learn to oboyDivine author ity. Children will not respect parents whoso authority they do not respect. Who are those young men that swagger through tho street, nrms.” “Oh,” you say, “thnt t\nfl $oty oM fashioned.” It was quite old fashioned. Mul | dd you suppose that a child uudor such . nurture as thill b7of turned out bad? In our day most boys start olit frith no idea higher than tho all encompassing df»l- lar; They start in an ago which boasts it can i flatrttdh the Jmrd’s Prayer on a 10cent piece, j and the Ten CommariniiidiitO en a 10 cent; | pteoo.

WADLEY RESIGNS A Monster Kay F’ish. Pensacola (Fla.) fishermen arc agitated about an enormous “rale” or “eagle ray’’ that has just been taken on the bar near there. Few of these fish are ever caught, ns they are much dreaded by the men of the sea. They arc sometimes erroneously called a devil fish, nnd also a blanket fish, and have been known to destroy human life. They feed on shell fish, which they draw in by means of the large cephalic fins which protrude from the corners of the huge mouth. The teeth of this fish, which were not visible from the outside, are very large and powerful, being used for grinding its food. There is great danger in attempting to capture one of these fish with a small boat, as it could easily capsize any boat of ordinary size. They grow very large, and there Is an instance of one being captured in West Indian waters which weighed 1,250 pounds. The tails are not as long in proportion to the size of their bodies as those of the sting-rays, or “stingarees, M as they are commonly called. — [New York Re corder. As General Superintendent of the Geor gia Central Kail road* A Savannah special says: George Dale Wftdley resigned Monday ns gen eral superintendent of tho Central railroad system and Receiver Comer appointed Mr. T. D. Kline to fill tho vacancy, the appointment being sanc tioned by the board of directors, which was called in session for that purpose. Mr. Wad ley haw been con templating this stc-p for some time, in fact ever since the interference of Judge Speer in the Arden mat ter. Ho Bays he would have resigned on that account long ago had it not been for the entreaties of friends who induced him to remain until now. His resignation, which was handed to Him bows to tho knife, and tho blood which bo often at tho father’s voico had rushed to tho crimson cheek smokes In tho Arcs ot tho burnt offering. No ono can toll us her name. There is no need that we know her name. Tho garlands that Mizpoh twlstod for Jophthah, the warrior, had gone Into tho dust, but all ages arc twisting the girl’s chaplet. It Is well that her name came not to us, for no ono ran wear it. They may take tho hame of Deborah or Abigail or Miriam, but no ono in all the ages can have tho titlo of this daughter of sacriflco. Of course this offering was not pleasing to tho Lord ;but before you hurl your denuncia tions nt Jephthah’s cruelty, remember that in olden times, when vows wore made, men thought they must execute thorn, perform them, whether thoy were wicked or good. There were two wrong tilings about Joph- thah’s vow. First, ho ought never to have rnado it. Next, having made it, it were better bfoken than kept. But do not take on pre tentious airs and say, “I could not have done as Jophthah did.” If to-day you were stand ing on the banks of the Ganges and you had been born in India, you might have been throwing your children to the crocodiles. It is not because wo aro naturally any better, but because we have more gospel light. Now, I make very practical use of tills question when I tell you that the sacrifice of Jephthah’s daughter was a type of the physi cal, mental nnd spiritual sacrifice of 10,000 children In this day. There nro parents all unwittingly bringing to bear upon their chil dren a class of influences which will as cer tainly ruin thorn as knife and torch destroyed Jephthah’s daughter. While I speak, tlie whole Nation without emotion and without shame looks upon the stupendous sacrifice. In tho first place, I romark that much of the system of education in our day is a sys tem of sacriflco. When children spend six or seven hours a day in school, and then must spend two or three hours in prepara tion for school tho next day, will you tell mo how much time they will have for sunshine i| fresh air and the obtaining of that oxu- Beceiver Comer on July 22<1, was kept beranco which is necessary for the duties of Way Capt.

Mr. Wadley requested, however, that it be accepted as soon as possible. A PARTING SHOT AT JUDGE SPEER. Mr. Wadley’s resignation is as fol lows : Bavan.nah, Ga.. July 22, 1893—Mr. H. M- Comer, Receiver Central Railroad and Bank ing Company of Georgia, Savannah, Ga.. Dear Bir: The continual interference of Judge Emory Speer in questions of discipline and the physicial management of the Cential railroad as urea mo that I cannot expect to manage my work in a satiafactojy manner to myself or iu the best interest of those who own tho pro perty. This being so. and there is no reason to doubt it, judging from the last six months’ experience, I herewith tender yon my resign* tion of the position of general b iperiutendent. Yours truly, German Dole Wadley. oO-colit MoricS tit adventurous love clous. With capacity that Might have rivaled a Florence NlghMngalo in hoaVeuiy minis* tries, or mado tho father’s house glad with lllliil arid sisterly demeanor,- their life ts a waste, their beauty it dtirsoj their eternity a demolition. jlii tho slngo of Charleston, during tho t ivil War, ri lieutenant of the army stood on tho floor beside tho duuglitcfl bf tho ex-Qov- ornor of tho Btato of South Carolina. Thoy were taking tlio vows of marriage. A bomb- aboil struck tho roof, dropped into the group and nine wore wounded and slain ; among the wounded to death, tho bride. While tho bridegroom kilolt oil tho earpot trying to stanch tho Wounds tho bride demanded that the Ceremony bo ftomplotod; that she nit gill lake tlui tows befohi her de parture, and whoii tlio ministet’ naidj “Wilt thou be faithful unto death?” with her dyinjjJ lips she said, “I will,” and in two hours she had departed. That was tho acclderital slaughter and tho Baorifloo of tho body, but at thousands of marrlago altars there aro daughters slain for time and slain for etern ity. U ifl not ri inniYlrigd } It Is a massacre. Afllaueed to soino diio who 1.4 Only wnitirtef until Ills father dies so he can get tlio prop erty. Thori a little while they swing around in tho circles; brilliant Circles; Then tho property is gone, arid lmviitg rid power to earn a livelihood the twain sink into some corner of Boeioty—the husband an idler and a sot, tho wife :i drudge, a slave nnd a sacri fice. Ah, spare your denunciations from Jephthah’s head and expend thorn all on this wholesale modern martyrdom 1 I lift Up my voice to-day against the sacrl- floo Hf children; I look out of my window on a Sabbath and I sen ri group of children un* washed, uncombed. un-Christlunizod. Who cares for thorn? Who prays for them? Who utters to them one kind word? Whoii the city missionary passing along tho park in New York saw a ragged lail ana heard him swearing, ho said to him : “My son, stop swearing ! You ought to go to tho hQUBoof God to-day. You ought to bo good. You ought to bo a Christian.” Tho lad looked in his faco and said, “Ah, it is easy for you to talk, woll clothed ns you are and well fed, but wo chaps lmiu’t got no elmnco!” Who lifts them to tlio altar for baptism? Who goes forth td. snatch them up from crime and death and woo? Who to-day will go forth and bring tlirim into schools and Churches? Ndx Heap thorn up, -great piles of rags and wretchedness and' tilth. J?Ut underneath them the fires of sacriflco, stir up the blaze, put on more fagots, and while we sit in tlio churches with folded arms and indifferent crime and disease and death will go oil with tho agonizing sacrifice. During thd early French Revolution at BourgeS there was a company of boys who used to train every day us young soldiers, and they carried a flag, and they had on tho flag this inscription: “Tremble* tyrants, tremble! Wo arc growing up.” Mightily suggestive ! This generation is passing off, and a mightier generation is coming llosiiital service, stationed at Naples, stating that flic condition of affairs in that city in regard to cholera is grow ing worse.

They hope to dissolve her will with tears. But the moth er must not interfere, must not coax off, must not beg for tho child when the hour comes for the assertion of parental supremacy nnd tho subjugation of a child's temper. There comes in tho history of every child an hour when it Is tested whether tho parents shall rule or tho child shall rule. That is the crucial hour. If the child triumphs Jn that hour, then he will some day make you crouch. It is a horrible scene. J have witnessed it—a mother come to old age, shivering with terror in the pres- tho crust she gums!

No one can feel more thankful than I do for tho advancement of common school edu cation. Tho printing of books appropriate for schools, the multiplication of philosoph ical apparatus, tho establishment of normal schools, which provide for our children teach ers of largest caliber, arc themes on which every philanthropist ought to be congratulat ed. But this herding of groat multitudes of children in ill ventilated school-rooms and poorly equipped halls of instruction Is mak ing many of the places of knowledge iu this country huge holocausts. Politics in many of the cities gets into ed ucational affairs, and'while the two political tparties are scrabbling for the honors Jeph thah’s daughter perishes. It Is so much so hat there are many schools in the country to day which are preparing tens of thousands of invalid men and women for the future, so that in many places by tho the time the child’s education is flnishod tho child is fin ished • In many places, in many cities of the country, there are large appropriations for everything else and cheerful appropriations, but as soon as the appropriation is to be mado for the educational or moral interest of the city we are struck through with an econ omy that is well nigh the death of us. In connection with this I mention whnt I might call tho cramming system of the com mon schools and many of tho academies— children of delicate brain compelled to tasks that might appall a mature intellect, ehil- / dren going down to school with a strap of 'y l,,.

You cannot scold or pound your children into nobility of character. The bloom of a child’s heart can never be seen under a cold drizzle. Above al), avoid fretting and scolding in tho household. Better than 10 years of fretting at your children is ono good, round, old fashioned application of the slipper!
