ments-that he leaves no room 70, self.denia,
endurance, and tie Steiner virtues. We believe
few men, even DOW, are so dePraVei that they
would steal what they did not want. We nevsr
yet heard of any man going by night to draw
Water out Of MS neighbours well merely to throw
1t away, and we doubt whether this would ever
be done where it was known that Inc neighbor
would be not at all incommoded by the loss. And
If Fourier does maintain that, in weil.adjssted
Society, where Labor should he rendered both
attractive and honorable, and where Want should
be unknown, there would be little occasion for
self denal-if he maintains tdat Wisdcm's ways
would therein he c!gcys ways Of pleasantnfss
and all her paths peace-he asserts doctrine
which profoundest Philosophy f,ilows Religion
IN declaring at once true and beneficial.
But We have little appetite for metaphysics
Fourier may have erred in thousand specpla-
tons, as he undoubtedly did in some, and still
the practicablity Of an ORGANIZATION OF MUS
TRY, 50 as 10 render it at once attractive aad Tar
more efficient than it can otherwise be, is truth
which the world cannot afford to reject, and Will
not. thousand failures Of narrow, partial, H.

That all men ought TO have chance to earn
their bread, is too plain to be made palmer; that
there might and should be such a Social organi.
