For the Spirit of the Age.

A certain mathematical as you may say
lady, the mother of three daughters, had a
farm of 500 acres, in a circular form, with her
d~welling.house in the centre.
Being DESTROYS of having her three daugh-
tiers settled near her, she gave to them three
equal parcels, as large as could be made in
three equal circles, included within the peri
phery of her farm, one to each, with a dwell
~ling-house in the centre of each that IS,
there were to be three equal circles, as large
as could he made within a circle, that con-
tanned 500 acres.
How many acres didthe farm ofe1ch daugh-
ter contain ? how many acres did the mother
retain ? how far apart were the dwelling
houses of the daughters and how far vas
the dwelling-house of each daughter from
that of the mother?
Is there no friend among your mathemati-
cal readers who will aid il deciding a moot
cd point between two humble disciples of
Euclid and Legendre, by furnishing me
with the geometrical construction and sOlu-
ton Of the above problem? Some accomoda-
ting student will not only relieve the tedium
and monotony Of his long vacation, but will
confer a valued favor upon one who in the

admirer of the abstruse science, by according

Wanted, at this Office.

A single good reason for continuing the Ii
cea.cd sale of intoxicating drinks.
We have looked, and waited, and watched
for Il single argument in a favor Of the grog
shops system, but thus far in vain. The only
thing that is urged in behalf Of it is, that
those engaged in it sometimes make money
"A great deal, it may be-by it. But this
is no more areason for grog selling, than for
doing any other thing by which a man may
obtain more money than he had before. 1t
will justify theft, murder, burglary-crime of
any and oil kinds, just as much as it will JUS
tify grog selling. The question to be asked
in reference to any thing proposedt to be done,
is not " Can money be made by it?"-but,
"Is itright?' Ifit be not right, then it mat
tiers not how much money may be made by
the operation-the law has no power to JUS
tify it.
But, is our grog shop business right? No !!
The common sense Of a man with intellect
enough to entitle him to our respect, is insul-
ted by asking him such a question. Right
Can that be right which does wrong, wrong
only, wrong all the time-wrong to the State,
to society, to the individuals engaged in it?
No! II is not right-has not the first ele-
ment of right about it.

Cause and Effect.

There is no truism more generally admit
ted tn an that eff a cause be removed, it's
effects will cease" OF all the causes of err
TOR and wrong, intoxicating drinks are the
most powerful, and we need expect no true
reform to be entirely successful, and the pub
lie mind to assume a perfectly healthy tone,
until the whole dealing and trade in spiritu-
Gus liquors MS a beverage is entirely done
away with, and is no longer a temptation
exposed TO public view. How few Of us ever
reflect on the %iniquity Of our laws which up.
hold and license the selling Of liquor; but
were they laws Of some b~enighted country,
and we informed Of their consequences hav.
ing no selfish interest to fear, there would be
but one voice among US in favor Of their re.
peal, and the enactment of a law which
would entirely sweep the evil from the coun'
try.
We're some of these sins which lag at our
own door, aud around which we throw the
protecting power Of law, aud uphold and
defend, committed in some foreign country,
the perpetrators would be looked upon by
us as objects well worthy Of missionary la
Dor. For every effect there must be a cause
or combination of causes, and to remove the
effect we must assail and destroy the cause

some trifing gift between the heads Of the
