THE FLOGGING OF A PRINCE.
The London correspondent, Of North
German paper relates story with regard
to the way in which Prince Albert discip-
lines his children, which the New York
Tribune translates as follows:
"The young prince stood one day in his
room in the royal palace at Windsor, at the
window, whose panes reached 10 The floor.
He had lesson TO learn by heart, but in
stead, was amusing himself by looking ou.
in the garden and playing with his fingers
on the window. His governess, Miss Hill
yard, an earnes. and pIous person, observed
this, and kindly asked him 10 think of get
ting his lesson The young prince said !:
81 don't want to-" 'sThen," said Miss
Hillysrd, 81 must put you in the corner"
81 won't learn" answered the little fellow
resolu,eIy, "and WON'T stand in the corner,
for am The Prince Of Wales" And as he
said this, he knocked out one Of the window
panes with his foot. Al this Miss HIllyardi
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 SER
want who entered to say to Prince Albert
that she requested the presence Of his Roy
al Highness Immediately on pressing mat
Ter connected with his son. The devoted
father came at once, and heard the statement
of the whole matter, after which he turned
to his li,,e son and said, pointing TO an or
toman, s'si. down there, and wait till re-
turn" Then Prince Alber. wen. to his
room and broueh. Bible. ''Listen, now,"
he said to the Prince of Wales, 40 wha, !h :
hoy apooue raui says TO you ana TO olner
children in your position" Hereupon he
read Gaat. iv, and 2: "Now say ,ha,
the heir, so long as he is a child, dferesh
nothing from servant, though he be loved
of all, but is under tutors and governors un-
i'll the time appointed of the fathers"
at is true," continued Prince Albert, "lhst
you are The Prince of Wales, and if you con-
duct yourself properly you may become a
man Of high station, and even after the death
Of your mother, may become King of Eng
land. But now you are lille boy, who
must obey his tutors and governors. Be-
sides, must impress upon you another cay
ing of the wise Solomon, in Proverbs xiii,
"a: "He that sparelh his rod, ha,elh his
son; but he that lovelh him chastenclh him
belimes." Hereupon The father took out a
rod and gave the heir TO the throne Of the
weighliesl empire Of Chrislendom very
pa pable switching, and then stood him up
in the corner, saying, ''Y on will stand here
and study your lesson till Miss Hlllya'd
permits you TO come out. And never ior-
get again that you are now under tutors and
governors, and that hereafter you will be
under 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 10
his heart as model.
1t may be proper to add ,ha. the young
ster who is represented to have received
this paternal admonition, is but II years old.
