p. S. You say that you spike strips Of
timber, inches wide, on tie outer edge Of
the steamers. If | recoIlect Alright, this
ilange, (ifI may so call III is, on the English
roads placed OH the inner edge; and think
this might be preferable, unless indeed the Or
binary buggy track is too narrow to allow
it.
1t seems TO me that the difficulty Of turning
out would almost necessiIate double track
but if that can be reached at $1,000 TO $1,000
per mile it might, in many locations, be pre-
ierable to Il Plank Road.

In our last we arrived at the conclusion tha
as all mankind desired happiness and as that de,
sire was the basis of al action, if they did moi
pursue the right road to attain the end, it is be.
cause of ignorance: and this conclusion. of ne
cessity, involved another, viz that bound toreth-
er as humanity is. by common ties, it is the duty
OF those, who, favored by birth and circumstan-
ces, are better developed. to educate those who
are Ignorant. In short, that the whole duty of
those who see and comprehend the right. is to ed
ucate those who do not.
In the first place, it must be understood that
education is by 10 means confined to the school
house. The world is but great school room.
society great school, and each individual men,
Der teacher, through life 4; and particularly are
all the institutions of society powerful instru-
mentallues OF education. Being the aggregate
voice OF the people, they present themselves to
the growing minds with corresponding force, and
mould that growing mind to assimilate to their
own nature. Every institution of society then
has an educational power, and should be consid
cred only with reference to the nature of that
power The protection of society against the
Expectations of criminals in its midst is one oh
Jeet OF law, but the great object of all law should
De and We suppose is, to prerera crime ; and with
Tins ch'f end all the incidental purposes of the
law should be made to harmonic.
We assert then that the institution of capital
punishment or the gallows instead of tending to
preueu the crime al which it is directed. tends of
necessity, to encourage its commission. from the
nature of its teaching.
Thus, we all know, that to habi.uate an indivi-
vidual to acts and scenes of brutality brutalizes
the individual, Nor does the motire under which
