Fair Play.

I. woman IS a mother, God gives
her certain affections and cares spring
ing from them, which you may be very
sure she will not forget, and to which.
as she is a "true woman" she will be
fondly faithful. But does it occur 10
you that, if man is o father, he also
has thereby loves and cares which are
only remotely connected with his shop:
Yet; while the father and the mother,
who together are the head OF the fam
lily, have thus certain special duties
growing out OF that relation, they are
also members OF the state. And re-
mark, it is not the family that is the
member of the state, but the adult
members of the family. II the father
dies, the mother succeeds TO the prop
erty, to the responsibilities, of every
kind. The state taxes her, and tries
her, and sends her to the jail or to the
gallows, upon occasion. Now if she
be competent to own property, and it
it be right to tax her, can it be very
wrong that SIZE should have voice in
the law that taxes her?
Dear Madame, the moment that the
common consent of the civilized world
lifted you from your position in the
Greek household, you began the jour
ney upon which you have ever since
constantly travelled, and which will
end i'll perfect equality OF opportuni-
ty with men. Perhaps you will not
be doctor, nor q lawyer, nor Sena-
tor, nor President. Perhaps you
will not care to vote, nor to speak in
public. But suppose that Jenny Lind
or Mrs. Moulton were forbidden to
sing in public, because they were wo-
men, suppose that Madame DeStael,
and Mrs. Somervillc, and Mrs. Stowe
had been silenced because they were
not men; suppose that Mrs. Siddons
and Rachael had been trowned down
as women. would anything have been
gained. Dear Madame, in this coun

Saxon stock, as it is called, and the

From the Boston Traveller.
An Earthquaky Year.

Earthquakes in 1860 have been re.
spectacle ia their number, in the vast
extent OF their range, and in tire amount
Of damage and fright they have caused.
They have operated in South America,
in Mexico, in the West Indies, in Cali.
tornia, in Nevada, in New England, in
the Canadian Dominion, in the Sand
wicll Islands, in Germany, in the eau
casian, in the Crimea, and in the Phil.
pines. There may have been some
other fields for shocks, and if the read
er can recollect their names he will do
us the favor mentally to insert them in
our list, so that il may be made COM
plete. The Philippine Islands appear
to have caught it" worst, and to have
been thoroughly shaken up, # it be true
that Manila was totally overthrown,
and that the shocks were felt tar out
at sea. When the Spaniards erected
their first buildings in South America,
running them up toward the heavens,
which they could approach NO other
way, the natives told them they were
building tbelr tombs; and 50 it proved
when earthquakes came, the high hons.

low, mere huts, mostly, and consequent

the number OF persons killed or
wounded was but small-not so many
as would 60 to the illustration of an
ordinary American railroad accident. "
In the country, churches were tumbled
down with the utmost ease, and so
were other buildings. South Ameri-

are not unworthy of the favorite land
OF that sort of fvisitation-and as there
were lew fools to prophcsy that On
certain days the whole country would
be destroyed, and many fools to believe
them, the terror was even greater than
that which followed last years shakes
The future and the unknown always
trouble men more tina they are troub-

German shocks were simply respccta

because in this age these parts OF the
world had not oeen seriously shaken

worse than a volcano-into a great

AS we turned a curve in the street,
We heard tho low sound of instruments,
and saw blaze OF light. Our driver
pulled up short. and the Egyptian Off
Ger wto was with us said we had come
upon marriage procession. And a
wild sight 1t was. At the head were
several braziers full of burning knots
and sticks, which the bearers whirled
round them, making great fiery circles.
Then came men bearing frames of va.
rious shapes, as stars, and ovals, and
lattices; these were made of narrow
strips OF wood, held horizontally by
the, eornees,s and upon them were
tackled small candles, vt which some
were burning, while the rest were ap-
parently reserved tor later exigencies;
other persons bore large single candles
painted or gilded, while still others
carried lanterns in their hands or
lnounted upon poles. Next came the
band, playing most piercingly bar

ing, their eager faces brilliantly lighted
by the scores OF lights, and filled
with every conceivable expression OF
delight and abandon. The procession
was scarcely moving, and after paus-
ing a moment, to study the individual
countcnanccs, we resumed our way,
stopping now and then to look at the
group glowing with lite and light, shut
in between the high, overhanging
darkness of the houses, receiving
thence no sympathetic sign of anima-
ton, and tossing up fiery sparks from
its torches to the clear white stars that

When ball of ivory falls on hor-
izontal plane OF marble, i. rebounds
and returns almost to its point OF de-
parture. Repeat the experiment., by
the IVORY with lead, and the
ball will rise to = less height in re-
bounding; but now 1t will grow warm,
which was not the case with the ball
OF ivory. Cause SOFT bodies or liquids
to fall; these will no longer rebound,
and re measure their temperature
we Shat find the heat created by the
impact to be greater than in The pre-.
tious instance. SAT-
. It is now known that every pound Of
every ponderous body, which loses it's
velocity by falling from height Of
about 20 feet, andjwhich does not re.
bound, disengages quantity OF heat
capable OF raising by one degree the
temperature OF a pound Of water.
This datum Of experiment serves as a
bases for all calculations relating to

The Bible iM Public Schools.

In relation to this much discussed
subject, the following. from the late
report OF Mr.. S. A. Briggs, President
ofsthc Chicago Board OF Education,
cannot fail to be OF interest and to
command attention.
SO far as the question of the use of
the Protestan. Bible in our schools is
concerned, 1T must be conceded that
the weight OF argument lies with those
who, on the ground OF religious toler-
alton, ask Tor its removal. One OF the
great central ideas Of our government
IS religious liberty, We have grown
TO be great nation because here re-
ligious liberty is best understood and
most perfectly. enjoyed. We repre-
sent in dur. people all shades of relig-
lous opinion and belief. Those of us
who are Protestants would resent any
attempt on the part OF the authorities
to require our children to listen to a
daily lesson from the Douay Scrip
lures. Why, then. should we co.npel
or Rcmanist ncighbor to listen to
the version of King james, or insist
that the followers Of Moses join in the
reading of the New Testament?
The division among sectarian schools
of our public school fund, however,
rests upon an entirely different basis.
The argument which tavors the re-
moval OF the Bible from the schools,
opposes with equal strength the d.
yerson of any, portion of the school
fund to sectariaa purposes. The pub
lie are taxed to support system of
free schools-to educate the whole
people. The spirit of our tree institu-
tons does not countenance the foster
ing of any class or sect at the expense
OF another. or TO itsexclusion. The
greatest good Of the whole must be
the end in view, and If this fails to
reach the peculiar necessities Of any
individual, 1t is his misfortune, not the
fault OF the system.
Assuming that the positions above
taken are'correct in principle, would
1t not be best, by disseminating the
use CT all versions OF the Scriptures-in
our schools, to remove the only tcna-
bic ground Of opposition to their
hearty support on the part Of any por-
ton of our citlzenstT f r

W llisperins.

This is source OF great tronble in
nearly every school. 1t seems to be
All unsettled question whether it is bet
ter to try to restrain it or attempt to
prevent 1t altogether. Since it seems
TO be nearly impossible to prevent It,
some say it is better not to forbid it
entirely. Because pupils will occa-
sionally learn. something from each
other by whispering, will iud where
their lesson is, or learn how to do
something, or the answer to some
question in the lesson, some say little
whispering is profitable. Because it is
not likely to be entirely prevented, it
is better, say Others, to restrain it, than
to forbid it. There seems to be two
questions in regard to this subject; can
whispering be stopped? and, If SO,
should it be?
In reply to the first question, it may
be remarked, that children seldom
whisper in church and they can, there
fore, avoid it in the school room.
In reply to the second question, let
it be considered that the object OF
school is not merely to get knowledge,
but to acquire selt-control. TO
strengthen the various faculties and
bring thcm''all underthe command othis
will. He who yields to every sudden
impulse never acquires this power
He who often gets assistance from
others, seldom puts forth all his own
strength. lie never is selt-reliant, en-
ergetic and confident. For this reason
all the assistance scholars receive from
each other is injurious.
1t having been settled that whis.
perng can and should be dispensed
with, it remains to be considered how
it shalt be done.
l. Reason with the pupils and i'm
press upon their minds the advantages
OF having no whispering.
9. Strive to inculcate such tone of
morality among the pupils that none
will either give or receive assistance.
1t is possible to inculcate this by iu-
dicious and continued effort, and the
result 'justifies the teacher using every
effort.

tinitcly that none can mistake, and it

ANswERs.-The solution question I,
of this column. is sent in by Mr.. John
Harris, as follows:
The fly will describe the semi-cir-
cumierence of an elipse, the major
axis of which is the distance passed
over by the wheel in making one rev.
olution- that is, the diameter, 6 inch
es, multiplied by STAG, which equals
lS.S496 inches. The minor axis is
twice the diameter (6 inches) of the
wheel, that is, Il inches. Now if we
square these two axes, extract the
square root of half their sum and null
tiply the resulting root by 3.l4l6, we
shall find tile circumference of the
elipse to. be 49.6372S inches. But the
fly travels through only one.halt the
circumference of the elipse: There
fore, one-half Of 49.6372S inches, which
is 24S1S64 inches, is the distance the
fly travels.
Mr.. Harris sends also c solution to
question 5. It is algebraic, and, we
therefore, can give only his results
viz: $i5.21S., AS share; and s24.1213,
BIS share. Mr.. John Elazee, has
made similar solution to question 5.

Draws jocund health to lady's bower;

For that which comes to can divide:s

The pressure and the kiss are gone -

As young youth flags the watchers see
How all good gifts wing-makcrs be;
They yield taste, and then they die,
