The time was far, far away when the | |
silver cord would oe loosed and the j

girl, she is more reckless than her
lover, even though her peril is far
greater, for hers is to be the pain and
suffering, the care and anxiety—the
night watching and sometimes the bro
ken heart. It is a mystery to me how
the mother endures it all and holds up
her head and keeps her strength. But
love for her offspring, maternal love,
sustains nor. It is the gi.t of God.

patronage comes from the intcrmar
riage of cousins. These institutions
° nnn
cost our state , . about . . $75,000 a year, _
and half of tbe expense could be avoid
ed if the intermarriage of cousins was
prohibited. I have not the reports of
the blind asylum before me, but I know
of three blind children of one family
who w r ere sent there, and they were
the offsprings of parents who were
cousins. I know of five children of
one family who were sent to our deaf
and dumb institute at Cave Spring.
Their parents were double cousins.
They had but one child who could
hear and speak. She vvas a good-looK
ing country girl. She married a clev
er young man who hauled wood for
me. Soon after his marriage he moved
to Texas and hired to a cattle man,
and vvas so faithful in his service that
in a few years he bought an interest
in the ranch and prospered. I met him
at Waco sixteen years after he left
Georgia, and he was said to be worth
$100,000, and his two elder daughters
were at a boarding school at Waco, 12
miles from his home. He had six
children, and, alas; one cl them was
a mute. The taint had cropped out in
the second generation.
Professor Connor, the faithful and
long tried principal of our deaf and
dumb institution, has tabulated tbe
parentage of his pupils for many
years, and reports that in 26 families
producing 4S mutes the parents were
first cousins. In 12 families produc
ing 19 mutes the parents were second
cousins. In 11 families producing 15
routes the parents were third cousins.
Altogether there were 97 mute chil
dren of parents closely related.
Of the 400-deaf mutes'193 had. deaf
parents, an., many, the,offspring’ot of theje.dcaf pa

riages have occurred and there have
been horn to them 110 children, 89 of
whom can hear and 21 are mutes. In
19 of the marriages there were no chil
dren born. Now, after one, two or
turee mutes have been born in suc
cession to parents, It wouM seem a
sir., if not a crime, for them to hare
more. The law should prohibit it. But
if this cannot bo done after marriage,

“Oh, well,” some say, “the Levitl
