Bob Ingersol, in his California lee
ture: The children Of poverty! My
heart beats when | think Of them the
children simply covered by rag; the
children of famine and of staryation
the children of drunkenness and the
children OF crime, hotsam aud jetsam
upon the wild, rude sea of life; the
children in alleys; the children that
crouch in corners when they hear the
unsteady step Of drunken brute Of
father, the children, little babies with
drinking mothers the children, too, Of
the rich, that have no liter;y-theso
little children that are crushed, that are
trampled upon, that are frightened. |
pity them all from the bottom of my
heart What right have you to tyran.
nizc over Child? I have very little
respect for q man that cannot govern a
child without brute force. Think of
whipping children Why, they say
that children tell lies. Yes, cowardice
is the mother of lies-tyranny is the
father of lies. Suppose man who is
as much larger than you as you are lar
ger than 5.year-old child, should come
at you with pole in his hands. Who
broke that plate ?" You would trem-
BILE; your knees would knock together,
aud you would swear you never saw
the plate, or it was cracked when you
got it. br
Think of member of the Board of
Exchange whipping one Of his children
for prevaricating. Think of a lawyer
beatiog his own flesh and blood because
he evaded the truth. Think Of a dealer
of stocks Furnishing his child for setting
aaoat false reports. What an incopsis.
tencyl Think of it, If you should
hereafter whip your child wish you
could have q photograph taken when
doing SO, with brows corrugated with
anger, your cheeks red with words, and
the little child shrinking, trembling,
crouching, begging ! Ifthis child should
happen to die, wouldn't it be sweet in
the autumn, when the maple leaves are
turning into gold aud when The scar
lee vines run like sad regret out of the
earth wouldn't it be delightful to go
and sit on the mound that covered the
flesh that you had beaten, and look at the
photograph of yourself in the act of
whipping that child I? Now think of it;
think of it; and if all L say to night
will save one blow from the tender flesh
of infancy, 1 am more than paid.

Australia Camel Coal.

A discovery has been made in Aus
tralia, which confirms with singular
the theory that assigns to
Camel coal an origin from leaves. It is
difficult to understand how leaves can
accumulate free from dirt in sufficient
quantity to form the beds of Camel coal
now severel feet thick, and representing
many times their mass in leaves. But
in Australia, Just such q mass of leaves
has been found partially, but not com
pletely, altered to Camel. The appear
ance and fracture of fresh blocks are the
same as of this kind of coal found else
where, but after some years exposure, it
can be separated with knife into thin
lamine, which shows that the mass is
composed principally OF leaves. The bed
is six feet thick, and the government
geologist calls it incipient Ignite"

In past years the department of agri-
culture has at times made itself somewhat
ridiculous by predictions of short cotton
crops, which were based on imperfect eGti-

told terrible tales OF drought, flood, or army

made, will not be in that direction,
the August reports of cotton being very en-
couraging. In grain there are similarly
bright prospects of abundance, and speeU-
lators who took a different view have lost
money.
