THE FLoGGING OF A PRINCE.

The London correspondent Of North Ger.
man paper relates a story with regard to the
way in which Prince Albert disciplines his
children, which the New York Tribune trans.
lates as follows, turEG Esr rI5 .H.r
"The young prince stood one day in his
room in the royal palace, at Windsor, at the
window, whose panes reached the floor. lie
had lesson to learn by heart, but instead
was amusing himself by looking out into the
garden and playing with his fingers on the
window. His governess, Miss Hillyard, an
earnest and pious person, observed this, and
kindly asked him to think Of getting his les
/ SON. The young prince said II don't want
to-" "Theu," said Miss Hillyard, 81 must
put you in the corner" IL won't learn" an
swered the little fellow resolutely, sand won't
stand in the corner, for l am the Prince Of
Wales" And as he said this. he Knocked
out one of the window panes with his foot.
At this Miss Hillyard rose from her seat and
said; Sir, you must learn, or must put you
in the corner.'' 81 WON'T" said he, knocking
out second pane. The governess then rang,
and told the servant who entered to soy to
Prince Albert that she requested the presence
of his Royal Highness Immediately on q
pressing matter connected with his son. The
devoted father came at once, and heard the
statement of the whole matter, after which
he turned to his little son and said, pointing
to an ottoman, "Sit down there and wait till
return" Then Prince Albert went to his
room and brought Bible. "Lsten now,"
he said to the Prince of Wales, "to what the

children in your position Hereupon he
read Galat. iv. and q: SHOW say that the
heir, SO long as he is child, ,differeth nothing
from a servant, though he be beloved of all;
but is under tutors and governors until the
time appointed of the father" i.af1Dgr a
s'It is true" continued Prince Albert, "that
you are the Prince of Wales, and it you con-
duct pr, perly you may become man of high
station, and even after the death of your moth
er, may become King of England. But now
you are little boy, who must obey his tutors
and governors. Besides, must impress up
on you another say ing, Of the wise Solomon,
in Proverbs xiii. 81: "He that spareth his
rod, hateth his son; but he that loveth him,
chasteneth him betimes." llereupon the
father took out a rod md gave the heir to the
throne of the weightiest empire of Christen-
dom a, very palapable switching, and then
stood him up in the corner, saying, "You will
stand here and study your lesson till Miss
Hillyard gives you leave to come out. And
never forget again that you are now under
tutors and governors, and tina: hereafter you
will be under a law given by God" This,
adds the correspondent, is an excellent
Christian mode of education, which every
citizen and peasant who has child may we'll
take to his heart as a model ..r .
1t may be proper to add that the youngster
who is represented to have received this pa
ternal admonition, is but IL years old.
