Gfperal Jephthah. the commander-in-chief
of the Isrm-litisb forces, xs buckling on tho
■word for the extermination of the |.rotifer
ous Ammonites, and looking up to the sky
ho promises that if (Sod will give him the
victory ho will put to death and sacrifice ns
a burnt offering tlio first thin# that cotn«*s
out from tho d<>ur of his homestead when ho
Rot's tw£k. The hurrahing of triumph soon
runa alotiR tho lino of all tho conijtunies,
regiments an 1 divisions of Jephthah’s army.
A worse beaten enemy than those Ammonites
novt r strewed any plain with their carcasses
General .leplitlmh, froth from the victory, is
now on his way homo. As he conics over the
hill and through tlu* valleys the whole march
homeward for hit men is a che *r, hut for
him a greater anxiety, for he remembers Ins
vow to slay and burn the Hmt thing that
comi's forth from his house to greet him after
his victory.
Perhaps it shall lie tho old watch dog that
•hall first come out, and who could Ret heart
to heat out the life of n faithful creature like
that as he comes fuwning and lmrking and
frisking and puttiiiR up his paw against his
master in merry welcome after long absence!
No; it was not that which came forth to meet
Jephthah. Perhaps it might l*i a young
novelet out from its caffe in the (Ic’ieral's
home which, gaining its lilierty, mnv seem to
rejoi<-o in the public Rlndm^s and llut’or on
the shoulder of the familiar head of the
household. Ilut who could have tho
heart to »lay such a winged inuo
cent! No: it was not thnt which came forth
to meet Jephtlmh. < ir it may he some
Rood iioightatr that will rush out to Rreet him
after having llrst Is'enin to tell the family of
tlio near approach of too General, llut who
could slay a neighbor who had come on tho
•rone to rojoioo over the reunited household/
No; it was not that which came forth to
meet Jephthah.
As he advances upon his homo the d.jor
opens, and out of it romes ono whoso appear
nnoo under oilier circumstances wonlil nave
been mi ind<-serilmblo joy, i»ut under t.lio
pledge of a sacrifice becomes a horror which
blnmhes his chcok and |Mtrnlvz<'8 his form
und almost hurls him flat to the earth. His
child, his only child,his daughter, conies skip
ping out to greet him, her step keeping time
X* • timbrel which she shakes and smites.
Did ever a conqueror's clu-cr end in such a
bitter groan? No wonder Dore in two of
his masterpieces presents t lie scene. Ai.d Han
del inndo it the last and climactoric work of
his life to put this pathetic and overpowering
circumstance in an oratorio, seven months
toiling amid its majestic harmonies until h s
eyesight gnve out; and, as though tlio sail
serene of Jeplithah's delimiter's s teriflee woro
too much for mortal vision, the grand old
musician was led blind into the orchestra for
the first rendering of “Jephthah.” Ail the
glories of victorious war are blotted out from
Jeplithah's memory, an l his banner is folded
in grief, and his sword goes l aok into the
scabbard with a dolorous clung, and the muf
fled drum takes the place of the cym
bals. and the “tremolo” the pla-o
of the trumpet, and ho cries out: “Alas!
my daughter, thou hast brought me
very low, and thou art ono of them that
trouble me; for 1 have opened my mouth to
the Lord, and 1 cannot go Imck.” During
two months amid the mountains without
shelter, the maidens who would havo l>acn at
her wedding ranged with Jeplithah's daugh
ter seP a,><1 ”own’ bewailing her coming suc
Conimentators nnd theologians nre in dis
pute as to whether that girl was slain or not,
nnd as to whether 1/ she wore slain it was
right or wrong in Jephthah to be the execu
tioner, a ouestion into which I shall not be
diverted from the overmastering considera
tion that we hnd better look out what we
promise, bettor lie caut ions what engagement
we make, better that in regard to nil mat
ters of betrothal and plights! vow we feel
the responsibility, lest we have either to sac
rifice tlio truth or sacrifice nu immortal
being, and we bo led to cry out with the
paroxysm of n Jephthah: “I have opened
my mouth unto the Lord, and I cannot go
back.” i
There is ono ward in almost all the ins mo
asylums and a large region in almost every
cemetery that you need to visit They are
occupied by the men and women who are the
victims of broken promises of marriage. The
wonu in those wants and in those mortuary
receptacles are in the majority, because
woman lives more in her affections than does
man, and laceration of them in her cas-j is
more apt to be a dementia and a fatality. In
some regions of this land the promise of mnr
riage Ls considered to have no solemnity or
binding force. It was only made in fun.
They may change their mind. The engage
ment may stand until some ono more attrac
tive in person or opulent in estate appears on
the uoeue: then the rings are returned and
the amatory letters and all relationship
ceases. And so there are ten thousand Jepli
thah's daughters sacrificed as burnt offerings
The whole subject ne~ds to l>o taken out of
the realm of comedy into tragedy, and men
nnd women need to understand that, whilo
there are exceptions to the rule, once having
solemnly pledged to each other heart mil
hand, the forfeiture and abandom nt of
that pledge makes the transgressor in the
sight of Jod a perjurer, and so the day of
judgment will reveal it. The one has hod to
the other; and all liars shall have their place
in the lake that burnetb with lire an i brim
stone.
If a man or woman make a promise in tho
business world, is there any obligation to
fulfill it? If a man sign a note for five hun
dred dollars, ought be to pay it? If a con
tract I»e signed involving the building of a
house ot the furnishing of a bill of goods
ought they stand by that contract! “Uli
yes. ’ all will answer. Then I nsk the
further questions: Is the h«art. tho happi
ness, the welfare, tho tenqioral and eternal
destiny of a man or woman worth as much
as the house, worth five hundred dollars
worth anythingf The realm or profligacy
is filled with men and women as a result of
the wrong answer to that question The
most aggravating, stupendo is an I f.od do
*y,nJ> lie is a lie in the shop-- of a bro en
espousal.

Remember the patience of Joh. Whet a

was destroyed by a tornado, and. more than
all, lierearnrnent had come and the poor man

But he lived right on through his marital
i disadvantages, rwovered his health and for
tune and ralsod a splendid family, nnd the
closing paragraph of the Book of Job has
such a jubilance that I wonder people do not
oftenorread it:
“So tho Ixirtl hlomod the latter end of Joh
more than his beginning, for he had four
teen thousand shrop.an 1 six thousand camels,
nnd a thousand yoke of oxen, anil a tliou

and three daughters. And be called the
name of the first Jemima, an I the name of
the se<>on,| her. a. and the name of the third
herunhanpiicli. And in all the land were no
women found so fair ns the daughters of Job.
an I their father gave them inheritance among
their brethren. After this lived Job one
U'Ii CT n,,<* tnTty years, ami saw his sons,
nn 1 his sons' sons, even four generations,
ho Job died, Isiing old and full of days.”
Now my ba llv married friend of either
sex. if Job could stand it by the holp of God,
then you can stand it by the same divine
reinforcement. You have other relations,
oh, woman, beside the wiM^ relation. If you

Not long ago a cilv missionary in Chicago
dropped into a Clark street dive with tem

a do/.en or more loafers sitting around, re
marked: "Gentlemen, may I ask if you_"

ranged themselves in front of the l>ar anil

Feudal Hospitality.
We aro inclined to bo overhard in
our judgment of knights and barons
of Germany in the middle ages, whoso
castles are perched on every command
ing rock by every road and river, but
we aro scarcely just. It is true that
there wore robber-knights, but so
there are at ull times rascals among a
class, and wo aro wrong in supposing
that every ruined keep was a nest of a
robber-knight. It was not ro. They
kept the roads in order, and supplied
mules and horses to travelers; they
gave free hospitality when they halted
for (he night. The travelers paid a
small toll for tho maintenance of tho
road, and also for the use of the horses
and mules which carried them on the
next stage. On the navigable rivers the
barons kept the towpath, and supplied
the beasts which would drag the barges
up the stream, and for this also they
received, and very properly, a toll.
Here and there an ill conditioned
knight exacted more than was due, but
he was seedily reduced to order. It
was to the interest of all the knights
and barons along tho highway to keep
tho communication open and not to di
vert it into another channel; conse
quently when one momber of the con
fraternity was exacting and trouble
some the rost combined against him, or
his over-lord reduced him to reason.
As the knights and barons had their
castles on heights for purposes of de
fense, and these heights were consider
able, It was not convenient for th#
wayfarers, at the end of a toilsome
journey, to bavo to scramble up the
side of a mountain to the castle of the
lord to enjoy his hospitality. Accord
ingly they were entertained by him be
low in the village built on the highway.
It was irksome to hitn and his wife and
servants to be perchod on a rock like
an eagle, consequently in the time of
peace he lived in his “town house,”
that is. ids mansion at the foot of the
hill, where he could get his provisions |
easily, and sec the world, as it flowed
Along the road. In an old German vil- !
lags there is accordingly to be found
generally a somewhat stately mansion
below, as well asthecastle above, with
the same coat-of-urms carved over
their doors, inhabited by the same fam
ily in past times, oscillating as circum
stances required, between the liouso
aud the castle.
(»AMU’LOUS men tire commonly con
ceited, and they will he found (with veuv
rew exceptional to he very an] erflcinl ns
ve 1. they who are in n hurry to toll whnt
they do know, will he equally inclined,
from tho inipulso of prevailing habit, to
tell what they do not know.
