Broad Tires for Farm. Wagons.

1t was formerly the custom in some
parts OF Massachus efts4 and bossiblF is
SO still-to remit the toll on farm-wao-
ons having certain width of tire. The
theory was that they mended, rather
than married the road bed, and hence II
was good policy toe encourage the use
OF broad-tired wheels for heavy lumber
wagons. The same principle Is recog-
nized in England where. the rate Of
tolls is less for wagons with broad
wheels than for those with narrow
ones. The roads in this country are

was well for Moses that Zipporah was
where she could not appear upon the
scene. What a wonderful influence wo-
man has in making man comfortable or
uncomfortable, happy or miserable-in
fact in making or unmaking himl The
Bible is full of illustrations of this. The
first serious trouble to Abraham came of
her who became the mother of his son
Ishmael. And then this Ishmael-he
married an Egyptian, and though he was
probably blessed Of God for his good
fathers sake, yet he soon sinks into OBJ
security. Esau too married a strange
woman with the same result. Samson
was undone by his Delilah; and Solomon
by his strange wives. The influence of
woman for evil is terrible. But let us
rejoice that the influence of woman for
good is as great. The case of Esther
witnesses to this; and that too of Ruth
the beautiful Moabitess. Let our modern
women think of these things. They were
put to record as warnings against evil
doing and an encouragement to we'll
doing.

pretty much what woman chooses to make
him. The young women of the present
day, by virtue of the influence that is
treasured up in them, may make the
young men thoughtful or thoughtless,
steady or unsteady, noble or ignoble, Just
as they choose. And if the young men
are not what the young women of COM
munity would desire to see them, the
reason is not because they have not the
influence, but because they have not used
it In the right way. Let the young wo-
men think of these things. They are
true things.

The Problem of Human Life.
Reply to Prof. M. w. Humphrevs

MeSSrS. Editors, In your paper of
10Th ult., appears a communication upon
Science and Religion" in reply to
notice (written by Rev. William Dinwid
die) OF my book. The Problem of HUI
man Life, in your issue of the 3Oth of
March. This book now being public pro-
perty, and assailing as it does, accepted
theories of science, is of course contra
band of wal" in those departments of re-
search, and is proper target for the
scientific and logical missiles Of whoever
may be disposed to attack it. They need.
however, to look carefully that their mis-
siles do not ricochet from its surface and
damage their friends, or even turn into
boomerangs and kill themselves. ask.
in simple justice, that those who have
read the criticisms may also read this
reply.
In portentous Introductory para
graph my reviewer prepares the reader
for something formidable, if not over
whelming, against the book, by depre-
eating the blunders of over-zealous adyo-
Gates OF religion, and lamenting in strain
OF neatly worded pathos, the harm such
rash friends are doing to the cause of re-
liglon by their well-meant ignorance.
One would expect after such solemn in
troductory depreciation, that something
really damaging in exposure of the blum,
ders of the book and the ignorance of the
author would be forthcoming. Whether
the performance equals the promise re-
mains to be seen.

critics communication was conoaived and
the book examined, he makes the follow
ing confession: 81 have not seen fit to

!. BY REV. II. c. ALEXANDER, D. D.
The exhibitions of egotism are some
times very diverting. Few are entirely
exempt from this infrmity. There are
some things that nearly everybody is
willing to undertake, even the most in
competent. One of these is art-criticism.
The m, st untutored clod-hopper seldom
hesitates to sit in Judgment on the mas
terpieces of Raphael or Michael Angelo.
People who can scarcely turn tune con-
tinually set up to be judges of the most
intricate works of Bach or Wagner. Ii
there ever were questions that should be
left exclusively in the hands of experts
they are questions relating to the tariff
and the finances; yet every kerb-stone
politician is well-acquainted with the
proper way to settle all such matters.
1t is claimed with some show of reason
by Captain Eads, that the objections to
his Mexican ship-railway come from con-
gressmen and practical sea-men, not from
engineers. In the same way it is plau-
slbly urged by the advocates of evolution
that no one is fitted to pronounce judg-
ment on this question who is not pro-
foundry versed in the laws and phenome-
ma of biology. We have always felt that
SO far as this is simply question of nat
ural history it had better be left in the
hands of such men as Won Bahr and
Agassiz. We now desire to retort upon
the opponents of Christianity the old
adage, ne swtor ultra creoidana-or, "Let
the shoemaker stick to his last" AS
President Porter has admirably shown,
nothing could well be more lucid or more
satisfactory than the discussions of such
men as Mr. Tyndall or Professor Huxley
so long as they confne themselves rigidly
to their appropriate department Of phys
ics-using the word in 8 somewhat wide
sense; but the moment they go beyond
those boundaries, they are at the mercy
of specialists in other fields. 1t is by no
means surprising that this should be so,
but it is surprising that the difference
should be so great as it is. We often
hear it said by persons who have been
bitten by the tarantula of Darwinism, as
well as by other lovers of mathematical
physical studies, that classical and phil
osophical studies tend to disqualify man
tor the pursuit of the exact sciences.
One can hardly agree to this, as the study
of "divine philosophy" and the humani-
ties, one should say, ought to have as its
direct effect, the general enlargement and
elevation Of the mind and its equipment
and preparation for its most successful
exercise In any special direction. 1t may
indeed, be allowed that the exclusive con-
finement of the mental powers to any
one class of operations, is to be depre-
Gated as narrowing and hurtful This is
only saying over again what was said in
your columns so recently. But if this be
in measure true even of the broad, the
comprehensive, the ennobling culture that
is derivable from linguistic and moral
