And this applies to matty of tho best families, so culled. Implicit obedience lo parental j authority I- now lt rare and pleas ing exception, while Ute opposite is the rule. Urie \< where thc troub le lies. Children who are not taught . strict obedience to authority, in the nursery in nine eases out of lon will never learn it afterwards. These are the children who give trotililo in our soho ?ls and coll?ge-. These uro they who afterwards i i chafe against obedience to tho laws of thc lund, mid IliV'lly supply our gibbet-, lil! our house of correction, our Jails and penitentiary, and ttl last I fear lill something infinitely worse, I have often heard parents of tho class referred lo, complain bitterly and In agony cry out when the dark day- came, why hus this great trouble with my child been .'?ont upon nu?I Stu b a question i . baldly innocent. My friend, you have sown the wind and must rt up the whirlwind. I Have seen ?i motlier give a positive order lo u I child of three or four years and bo ' tinily and defiantly disobeyed, and thus flin matter would end with (.something like a smile on the fuco. ot th" mother. My dear good mother ! surely you know no] what you do. I bis child will trample on your toes now, and you may laugh at it, but ? the time will come w lieu it will trample on your heart and ring from you tear.- of blood. Kvery horse almost without exception, ls '? taught w hile young strict obedien ce and submission to authority and thus only, h" becomes ti harmless I and useful animal. What a pity that people should give SO much better attention to their horses I than to their children. Hut 1 have mil time to tell it alb I will only add that Hie evil is wide spread and alarming and fearful in ?ts consequences. 1 will also say that the fault is as conni,on with tlie father as with the mother. 1 will now muk" a proposition which I fear the christian world w'lll regard as absurd.

Our , christian churches aro gushing w ith love und sympathy ?fot tho poor heathen in Africa, and yet [ their treatment of tho Africans lu our midst is scarcely conn-;ont ( with their profession.
