Thus, last year, in Ireland but five railway journeys were made for each inhabitant, wherew in Scotland there were twenty railway journeys to each inh A! ilnt, and in Kngland and Wales the number of passengers was equal to twenty -six time* the population.

The state had no place for them, no use for them, and the tirst part of the proceis of education ww to weed them out. So far as the training of the intellect was concerned little more was aimed at than the strategy and quick-wit- teJnew of a beast of prey. The all-com- prehending virtue in which the Spartan youth was trained ww that of physical courrvge. There was no place for the play of the anVctinns ; and the only vices that were punishable or odious were cowardice, lack ot fortitude, or the non-concealment of vice or crime. There ww little that ww Intellectual in this scheme of education, less that was moral, and of the highest element in human nature, and in human character, tho spiritual, it knew, mulling.
