The Sexes in Education.

In a speech at a dinner of the friends
of female school i'll Andover, Mass,
the other day, the Rev. DR.. Peabody, of
Harvard University, speaking of co-edu-
cation, said; "The question that first
presents itself is, 'Shall the education
of young men and women be in all res
poets the same?' l would answer yes,
if their destiny in life, if their native
proclivity and capacity, if the parts that
they, in Divine Providence, are to fill in
the world were the same. But because
they are not the same, | can not but
think that there will be fittingly a diver
sity in the modes of training. The
question is sometimes raised of the
equality of men and women. l don't
like the word Equivalency is the
word, and that I maintain in the fullest
sense. l admit no difference in the
worth of native endowments and capaci-
ties, and if | admit any difference as to
the extent of influence, as to the amount
of good work done in the world, it must
be on the side of women certainly. But
/ believe that woman can not learn and
do equally well with man all the things
that he learns and does, and that man
can not learn and do equally well with
woman all the things that she learns
and does. His is the wider, hers the
richer field. His is the strength of rea-
soning, hers the quicker intuition and
clearer insight; his the more easy mas
terry of abstract sciences, hers the far
finer seeing nature, the keener sense OF
beauty in art and in literature, and the
larger capacity of culture in all that per-
tains to the beauty, charm, ornament,
and joy of home society. l would
not have the same culture pursued by
both, for | should dread to find always
in the parlor duplicate of the counting
room or Office. There must be differ
ence of culture corresponding to the
difference of position in society. There
are some vocations of men which GER
tainly it is not becoming that women
should follow. There are others in
which, for obvious reasons, they can not
compete successfully with men. There
are others in order to pursue which they
must forget that which is more fitting
their first province, the ornament of
home life. However, these two lines of
culture, or the two fields of culture, in
tersect each other in many points and
have great deal in common. Certain
ly it would benefit young men were their
scientific culture of higher order than
it is wont to be, and l believe that
young women are largely benefited by
more thorough course than usual Of
scientific study"

The Microscopic Test for Marriage

DR.. c. Heitzman ("Archives of Medi-
cine," New York, January, 1879 tells
us that marriages should be allowed in
doubtful cases only upon the permit Of
a reliable microscopist. 'Last sea-
sop," he says, "a young physician ask
ed me whether l believed in the mar
riage among kindred. He had fallen in
love with his cousin and his cousin with
him. examined his blood, and told
him that he was q nervous man passing
sleepless nights and having a moderate
ly good constitution. The similar con-
dition being suspected in the lady, mar
riage was not advised, for fear of de-
generate offspring. So great was his
faith in my assertions that he gave up
the idea of marrying his cousin, offering
her the last chance viz, the examina-
ton of her blood. This beautiful girl
came to my laboratory, and, much to
my surprise, found, on examination,
her blood of frst-class constitution. The
next day l tolj the gentleman, you
had better marry her. .''-Brttlsh Medi-
