Early turned nut from a home where he ought to have been eared for, ho consorted with rough men and went, forth to earn his living as best he could. In those times it was con sidered right for a man to go out on inde pendent military expeditions. Jephthah was a good man according to the light of his dark age, but through a wandering and predatory life ho became reckless and precipitate. The grace of God changes a man’s heart, but never i - his nat ural temperament. The Israelites wanted the Ammonites driven out of their coun try, so they sent a delegation to Jephthah, asking him to become commander in chief of all the forces. lie might have said, ■ You drove mo out when you had no use. fur me and, now you are in trouble, you wunt me back,” but he did not say that, lie takes command of the army, sends messengers to the Ammonites to tell them to vacate the country and, getting no fa vorable response, marshals his troops for battle. Before going out to the war Jephthah makes a very solemn vow that if the Lord will give him the victory, then, on his re turn home, whatsoever first comes out of his doorway he will offer in sacrifice as a burnt offering The battle opens. It was no skirmishing on the edges of danger, no unlimbering of batteries two miles away, but the hurling of men on the points of swords and spears until the ground could no more drink the blood, and the horses reared to leap over the pile of bodies of the slain. In those old times opposing forces would fight until their swords were bro ken, and then each one would throttle his man until they both fell, teeth to teeth, grip to grip, death stare to death stare, until the plain was one tumbled mass of corpses from which tlie last trace of man hood had been dashed out. .leplitlinli’a Daughter. Jephthah wins the day. Twenty cities lay capt ured at his feet. Sound the vic-, Tory all through the mountains of Gilead. Let the trumpeters call up the survivors. Homeward to your wives and children. Homeward with your glittering treasures. Homeward to have the applause of an ad miring nation. Build triumphal arches, swing out Hags all over Mizpah, open all your doors to receive the captured treas ures, through every hall spread the ban quet, pile up the viands, fill high the tankards. The nation is redeemed, the invaders are routed and the national honor is vindicated. Huzza for Jephthah. the conqueror! Jephthah, seated on a prancing steed, ad vances amid the acclaiming multitudes, but his eye is not on the excited populace. Remembering that he had made a solemn vow that, returning from victorious bat tle. whatsoever first came out of tlie door way of his home, that should bo sacrificed as a burnt offering, ho has his anxious ! <.k upon the door. I wonder what spot less lamb, what brace of doves will be thrown upon the fires of the burnt offer ing. oh. horrors! Paleness of death blanches his cheek. Despair seizes his heart. His daughter, his only child, rushes out the doorway to throw herself in her father's arms and shower upon him more kisses than there were wounds on his breast or dents on his shield. All the triumphal splendor vanishes. Holding back this child from his heaving breast and pushing the locks back from the fair brow and looking into the eyes of inextinguishable affection with choked utterance he says: "Would God I lay stark on the bloody plain. My daughter, my only child, joy of my home, life of my life, thou art the sacrifice!” The whole matter was explained to her. This was no whining, hollow hearted girl into whose eyes the father looked. All the glory of sword and shield vanished in the presence of the valor of that girl. There may have lieen a tremor of the lip, as a rijseJeaf trembles in the sough of the south wind; there may have been tho starting of a tear like a rain drop shaken from the anther of n water lily. But with a self sacrifice that man may not reach and only woman’s heart, can compass she surrenders herself to fire and to death. She cries out in the words of my text, "My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the Lord do unto me whatsoever hath proceeded from thy mouth.” Innocence Sacrificed. She bows to the knife, and the blood, which so often at the father’s voice had rushed to the crimson cheek, smokes in the fires of the burnt offering. No one can tell us her name. There is no need that we know her name. The garlands that Mizpah twisted for Jephthah, the war rior, have gone into the dust, but all ages are twisting this girl's chaplet. It is well that her name came not to us, for no one can wear it. They may take the name of Deborah or Abigail or Miriam, but no one in all the ages shall have the title of this daughter of sacrifico. Os course this offering was not pleasing •" the Lord, especially as a provision was imide in the law for such a contingency, and Jephthah ipight have redeemed his ■laughter by the payment of 30 shekels of rilver, but liefore you hurl your denuncia- L ti- at Jephthah s cruelty remember that 111 olden times when vows were made 1 'ti thought they must execute them, per -ITm ihem, whether they were wicked or k"od. There were two wrong things ll »ut Jephthah’s vow. First, he ought never to have made it. Next, having niade it, it were better broken than kept, but d.. Ilo t take on pretentious airsand ’■■‘y, "I could not have done as Jephthah If in former days you had been anding on the banks of the Ganges and you had been born in India, you might nave thrown your children to the croco h'- It is not because we are naturally better, but because we have more gos i,l‘ light '"'w I make very practical use of this ion w hen I tell you that the sacrifice i'hthah’s daughter was a type of the '■al. mental and spiritual sacrifice of children in tills day. There are '■'■ntsall unwittingly bringing to bear I"H their children a class of influences 1 ,ls " .inly ruin them as knife r < h destroyed Jephthah’s daughter. While I sp( o. the whole nation, without, emotion and without shame, looks upon the st .tpendous rifle... < hi Id i-.-n <> vert n xed. In the first place I remark that much of the system of education in our day is a I system of aaerifi.-e. When children spend | six or seven hours in school and then must spend two or three hours in preparation for school the next day. will you tell me how much time they will have for sun shine atid fresh air and the obtaining of that exuberance which is necessary for the duties of coming life? No one can feel more thankful than I do fi r the advance ment of common school education. The printing of books appropriate for schools, the multiplication of philosophical ap paratus, the establishment of normal schools, which provide for our children teachers of largest caliber, are themes on which every philanthropist ought to be congratulated. But this herding of great multitudes of children in ill ventilated schoolrooms and poorly equipped halls of instruction is making many of the places of knowledge in this country a huge holo caust. Politics in many of the cities gets into educational affairs, and while the two political parties are scrabbling for the honors Jephthah’s daughter perishes. It is so much so that there are many schools in the country today which are preparing tens of thousands of invalid men and wo men for the future; so that, in many places, by the time the child’s education is finished the child is finished! In many places, in many cities of the country, there are large appropriations for every thing else, and cheerful appropriations, but as soon as the appropriation is to be made for the educational or moral interests of the city we are struck through with an economy that is well nigh the death of us. In connection with this I mention what I might call the cramming system of tho common schools and many of tho acad emies; children of delicate brain compelled to tasks that might appall a mature intel lect; children going down to school with a strap of books half as high as themselves. The fact is in some of the cities parents do not allow their children to graduate for the simple reason, they say, ”We cannot afford to allow our children s health to lie destroyed in order that they may gather the honors of an institution.” Tens of thousands of children educated into imbe cility, so that connected with many such literary establishments there ought to be asylums for the wrecked. It is push and crowd and cram and stuff and jam until the child's intellect is bewildered, and tho memory is ruined, and the health is gone. There are children who once were full of romping and laughter and had cheeks crimson with health who are now’ turned out in the afternoon pale faced, irritated, asthmatic, old before their time. It is one of the saddest sights on earth, an old mannish boy or an old womanish girl. Girls 10 years of ago studying algebra! Boys 12 years of age racking their brain over trigonometry' Children unacquaint ed with their mother tongue crying over their Latin, French and German lessons! All the vivacity of their nature Ixiaten out of them by the heavy beetle of a Greek lexicon! And you doctor them for this, and you give them a little medicine for that, and you wonder what is the matter of them. I will tell you what is the mat ter of them. They are finishing their ed ucation ! Body and Brain Weakened. In my parish in Philadelphia a little child was so pushed at school that she was thrown into a fever, and in her dying de lirium all night long she was trying to re cite the multiplication table. In my boy hood I remember that in our class at school there was one lad who knew more than all of us put together. If we were fast in our arithmetic, lie extricated us. When we stood up for the spelling class, ho was al most always the head of the class. Visit ors came to his father’s house, and ho was always brought in as a prodigy. At 18 years of age he was an idiot. He lived ten years an idiot and died an idiot, not know ing his right hand from his left or day’ from night. The parentsand thoteachers made, him an idiot. You may flatter your pride by forcing your child to know more than any other children, but you arc making a sacrifice of that child if by the additions to its in telligence you are making a subtraction from its future. The child will go away from such maltreatment with no exuber ance t i fight the battle of life. Such chil dren i: y get along very well while you take care of them, but when you are old or dead alas for them if, through the wrong system of education which you adopted, they’ have no swarthiness or force of character th take care of themselves. Be careful how you make the child’s head ache or its heart flutter. I hear a great deal about black man's rights, and China man’s rights, and Indian’s rights, and woman’s rights. Would God that some body would rise to plead for children’s rights. The Carthaginians used to sacri fice their children by putting them into the arms of an idol which thrust forth its hand. The child was put into the arms of tho idol and no sooner touched the arms than it dropped into the fire. But it was the art of (be mothers to keep the children smiling and laughing until the moment they died. There may be a fascination ami a hilarity about the styles of educa tion of which I am speaking, but it is only laughter at the moment of sacrifice. Would God there were only one J ephthah a daughter Discipline of the Young. Again, there are many parents who are sacrificing their children with wrong sys tem of discipline—too great rigor or too great leniency. There are children in families who rule tho household. The high chair in which the infant sits is the throne, and the rattle is tho scepter, and the other children make up the parliament where father and mother have no vote! Such children come up to bo miscreants. There is no chance in this world for a child that has never learned to mini. Such people become the botheration of the church of God and the pest of the w orld. Children that do not learn to obey human authority are unwilling to learn to obey divine authority. Children will not re spect parents whose authority they do not respect. Who are these young men that swagger through the street with their thumbs in their vest talking about their father as "the old man,” the governor “the squire,” “the old chap,” or their mother as "the old woman!-" They are those who in youth, in childhood, never learned to respect authority. F.li, having heard that his sons had died in their wickedness, fell over backward and broke his neck and died. Weil he might. What is life to a father whose sons are de bauched? The dust of tho valley is pleas ant to his taste, and the driving rains that drip through the roof of the sepulcher are sweeter than the winos of Helbon. There must be harmony between the fa ther’s government and the mother's gov ernment. The father w ill bo tent pted to too great rigor. The mother will l>e tempted to t>igreat leniency. Her tender ness will overcome her Her voice is a lit- ; ' tie 'ofti tier 1 I ms !!i- r fitted to ! pull out a th"r: ' lie a pang. Ghil- | ; (iron wanting an■ : i.,r IT m the mother, ; ; cry for it.

There comes in the history . f .-very child an hour when ft is tested w hether tlie parents shall rule or the child shall rule That is the crucial hour. If the el. d triumphs in that hour, then he will some day make you crouch. It is a horrible scene. I hate w itne-sed it. A mother come to old age, shivering with terror in the presence of a -on who cursed her gray hairs and mocked her wrinkled face and begrudged her the crust she munched with her toothless gums' Hmv sharper tlum a-. r;ni !i it is To huve a t l.a m,'. ..' Boeks to tvaid. But, on (!*■ oth< r hand, too great rigor must, be avoided. It is a sad tiling when domestic government becomes cold mili tary despotism. 1 rapiH-rs on the prairie fight, fire with lire, but y -u cannot sue cessfully fight your child's bad temper with your own bad temper. We must not be too minute in our inspection. We can not expect our children to be perfect. We must imt see everything. Since we have two or three faults of our own. we ought not to be too rough when we discover t hat our children have as many. If tradition be true, when we were children we were not all little Samuels and our parents were not fearful lest tiny could not raise us be cause of our premature goodness. 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 all, avoid fretting and scolding in the household. Better than ten years of fretting at. your children is one good, round, old fashioned application of the slipper! That minister of the gos pel of whom we read in the newspapers that he whipped his child to death because he would not say his prayers will never come to canonization. Ihe arithmetics cannot calculate how many thousands of children have been ruined forever either through too great rigor or too great lenien cy. The heavens and the earth are tilled with’tho groan of the sacrificed. In this important matter seek divine direction. () fat her. O mot her. Some one asked the mother of Lord Chief Justice Mansfield if she was not proud to have three such eminent sons and all of them so good. "No,” she said, "it is nothing to co proud of, but something for which to b-3 very grateful.” Again, there are many who are sacrific ing their children to a spirit of worldli ness. Some one asked a mother whoso 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 was the secret When in the morning I washed my children, I prayed that they might be washed in the fountain of a Faviour's mercy. When I put on their garments, I prayed that they might be arrayed in the robe of a Saviour's righteousness. When I. gave them food, I prayed that they might bo fed with manna from heaven. When I started them on the road to school, I prayed that their path might bo as the shining light, brighter and brighter to the perfect (lay. When I might L" infolded in th(-saviour's arms "Oh.” you say, "that was very old fash ioned.” It was quite old fashioned. But do you suppose that a child under such nurture as that ever turned out bad? In our day most boys start out with no idea higher than the al) encompassing dol lar, They start in an ago which boasts it can scratch the Lord's Prayer on a 10 cent piece and the Ten Commandments on a 10 cent piece. Children are taught to reduce morals and religion, time and eternity, to vulgar fractions. It. seems to be their chief attainment that 10 cents make a dime and ten dimes make a dollar. How to get money is only equaled by the other art, how to keep it. Tell me, ye who know, what chance there is for those who start out in life with such perverted senti ments. The money market resounds again and again with the downfall of such people. If I had a drop of blood on the tip of a pen, I would tell you by what awful trag edy many of the youth of this country are ruined. Fashion h Hollowness. Further on thousands and tens of thou sands of tho daughters of America are sac rificed to worldliness. They are taught to be in sympathy with all the artificialties of society. They are inducted into all the hollowness of what is called fashionable life. They are taught to believe that his tory is dry. but that .’>o cent stories of ad venturous love are delicious With ca pacity that might; have rivaled a Florence Nightingale in heavenly ministries or made tho father’s house glad with lilial and sisterly demeanor their life isa waste, their beauty a curse, their eternity a dem olition. In the siege of Charleston, during our civil war, a lieutenant, of the army stood on the floor beside the daughter of the ex governor of the state of South Carolina They were taking the vows of marriage. A bombshell struck the roof, dropped into the group, and nine were wounded and slain, among the wounded to death the bride. While the bridegroom knelt on the carpet trying to stanch tho wounds the bride demanded that thecercmony be. com pleted that she might take the vows I . fore her departure, and when the minister said, "Wilt thou lie faithful unto death, with her dying lips she said, ‘ I will.” and in two hours sin- had departed. That was the slaughter and the sai rifle, of the body, but at thousands of marriage altars there are daughter-: slain for time and slain for eternity. It is not a marriage It is a massacre.

The two greatest enemies of the rat tlesnake are the black snake and tho hog. The rattlesnake is slow and slug I gish in movement, while the black snake | is intensely’ rapid. The latter will cir- j cle around his foe and with a sudden dart grasp the venomous reptile by the neck, so that it has no chance to use its poisonous fangs, and quickly squeeze it to death. A hog, especially if fat, suffers no danger from the rattlesnake. Ho will march boldly up to the coiled reptile, allow himself to be struck in his jowls once, twice or three times, as the case may 1»‘, and will then calmly proceed to sw’allow the reptile without concern. The reason for the hog’s im munity is due to the fact that the blood vessels are so minute and infrequent on his cheeks, where fat is predominant, that they fail to take up the poison and carry it through the porcine system, j Hogs have been used in droves to clear some of the islands of the southern seas of poisonous reptiles and have proved successful. By remembering two simple facts any one can distinguish a poisonsous serpent from a harmless one. The venomous reptile invariably possesses a triangular ly shaped head and a blunt nose, while his tail is correspondingly blunt and stubby. Any snake that tapers smooth ly from the middle of its body to the tip of its nose and to the tip of its tail as : well, growing slender in a gradual and regular manner, is absolutely devoid of j venom.—New York Press.
