SCIENCE TO SOLVE INDUSTRIAL
PROBLEMS.

In recent address to the Workingmen's Lyce-
um, at Cooper Institute Parke Goodwin said that
society presented many problems-war, crime,
pauperism intemperance, and thousand others
but the profoundest Of all was that which re-
lated to the condition and prospects Of labor. AT.
ter reviewing the conditions OF labor and of Ia.
boring men In the past and stpresent the speaker
said that the real social problem was to maintain
the freedom Of labor, and with 1t the equilibrium
OF the industrial forces, and Of their results.
Many solutions to this problem have been offered,
chief among them these three the moral solu-
tion, the political solution, and the economic or
social soluton-sll important, but only one Off.
cient
The moral solution failed for two reasons; it
could not reach the object Of Its solicitude-in.
dividuals; while the evils to be remedied were
many Of them organic, and could be cured only
by organic remedies
The political solution was but the cid form Of
state intervention. another name for despotism.
Not government on earth can take charge Of
itself, much less the people; all Of them are
bankrupt. The people must take care Of them
selves The duty of government is to maintain
the conditions Of liberty justice and progress, but
there to stop; every step beyond Is either toward
anarchy or tyranny.
There is but one way Of meeting the evils Of
society, the speaker went on to say, and that was
TO learn scientifically the laws of social phenom-
ens, and to apply them to all social arrangements
and procedures. Do such laws exist Who can
doubt 1t that has studied Statistics or watched the
uniformity of social results Because man Ia a
being Of free WILL he is none the less source and
subject OF law. His processes, especially the &C
ton of large numbers sacting together, are not
wholly arbitrary and caprcious They can be
counted on generally with as much confidence as
we count on the rise Of the tides or the revolu.
tions OF the stars. Because these phenomena are
more complicated than natural phenomena, we
know less about them but we shall know more
Of them in time. How many great minds and
noble hearts are now at work to find the key of
social science, to unravel Its mysteries to bring
the seeming chaos into order? Something has
been done In this direction. but much more re-
mains to be done. The publielsts and the econo
mists have given us glimpses OF the feld-the
scientists will soon open 1t to the husbandmsn
and his golden hsrvests-S Scientific american.

Tley attempted to curry favor with their oppo-

He might fail where they sucCeeded-ln dlstrib-
uting the patronage successfully but he would
also succeed where they failed-n reforming

that he ought to be grateful nat he was elected TO
the Presidency, and was exempted from It's onor-
GUS duties. Tiden is no schoolboy painting for

resents policy which, If II is put In force, will

THE DEAD CELT.
MRS. MACLEAN.


Twas In the battlefield, and the cold pale moon
Look d down on the dead and dying;
And the wind passed DER with dirge and wall
Where the young and the brave were lying.
With his fathers sword In his red right hand,
And the hostile dead around him,
Lay youthful chief: but his bed was the ground
And the graves Icy sleep had bound him.
A reckless rover, mid death and doom,
Pass'd a soldier, his plunder seeking;
Careless he slept, where friend and foe
Lay alike ln.thelr lie.blood reeklng
Drawn by the shine Of the warriors sword,
The soldier pausd besldelt;
He wrench'd the hand with giants strength,
But the grasp Of the dead dehed IT,
He loosd his hold, and his English heart
Took part with the dead before him;
And he honour'd the brave who died sword In hant
AS with softend brow he leant DER him.
"A soldiers death thou hast boldly died,
soldiers grave won byit;
Before would take.that sword from thine hand,
My own lIfe's blood should dyet.
"Thou shalt not be left for the carrlon crow,
Or the wolf to batten DER thee;
Or the coward insult the gallant dead,
Who in life had trembled before thee"
Then dug he a grave in the crimson EARTH
Where his warrior foe was sleeping
And he laid him there In honour and rest,
With his sword In his own brave keeping!

WHAT AN OLD MAN HAS NOTICED.

Ihave noticed that all men are honest when
well watched,
Ihave noticed that purses will hold pennies as
well as pounds
Ihave noticed that in order to be reasonable
cresuture 1t is necessary at times to be down.
right mad.
have noticed that silks, broadcloths and Jew
els are often bought with other peoples money.
1 have noticed that whatever is is right, with
few exceptions left eye, and left leg, and the
left side Of q plum pudding.
1 have noticed that the prayer Of the selfish
man is Forgive us our debts" while he makes
everybody that owes him pay to the utmost far
thing
have noticed he who thinks every man
rogue is certain to see one when he shaves HIM
self, and he ought, in mercy to his neighbor, to
surrender the rascal to justice.
Ihave noticed that money is the FOOLS wisdom,
the knave's reputation, the poor mans desire, the
coyetousman's ambition, and the idol Of them all.

No passing hell doth toll,
Yet an immortal soul
Is passing now.
Stranger however great,
With lowly reverence bow:
There's One In that poor she'd
One by that paltry bed,
Greater than thou,
Beneath that beggars roof,
Lol Death doth keep his state;
Enterl-no crowds attend
Enterl-nO guards defend
This palace-gatel
That pavement damp and cold,
No smiling courtlers tread;
One silent woman stands
Lining with meagre hands
A dying head.
No mlngllng voices sound
An infant wall alone;
A sob suppress'd-again
That short deep gasp, and then
The parting groan,
Oh, change oh, wondrous change
Burst are the prison bars
This moment there, so low,
So agonized, and now
Beyond the stars
Oh, change-stupendous change
There lies the soulless clod:
The sun eternal breaks
The new immortal wakes
Wakes with his God.
