and pursuits, manifests itself as soon as tlie little ladies in a 
family become occupied with, their dolls, and the romping 
young gentleman with his much-abused horse; showing us how 
intimately organization is connected with the whole being. 
All this, though faintly indicated at first, we must remember 
is carried to mature perfection by some unseen force involving 
the whole being in its influence. 
What, then, are we to think about the transmission of this 
organization in the continuance of the species ? Are we to rest 
satisfied with the sesquipedalia verba of science,* or may we not 
rather exercise our common sense and common habits of obser- 
vation, and see what they teach us ? 
“ Fortes creantur fortibus et bonis : 
Est in juvencis, est in equis patrum 
Virtus ; nec imbellem feroces 
Progenerant aquilse columbam.” 
Horace, Od. iv. 4. 
We know that like produces like, and if the scientists can 
find no difference in the incipient beings, we must impute this 
to their deficient power of observation. The difference is and 
must be there from the commencement ; it is not something 
superadded by evolution. 
The variety in organization imprinted as above by the 
hand of the Creator carries with it, as we have seen, an entire 
differentiation of the whole being as to vdiat we call mental 
and moral characteristics. To suppose that the feminine 
mind is the same as the masculine, is to evince a misappre- 
hension of the whole subject — not unfrequently fatal in its 
results when it is supposed that it can bear equal strain with 
that endured without suffering by the stronger sex. 
In order to realize the importance of organization let us 
suppose that the continuance of the species had been ordained 
to be by 'parthenogenesis, as among the aphides ; we should 
then have had a world absolutely without variety, through the 
exact reproduction in every particular of the original type. 
But in the world as now ordered we have the greatest 
variety of the manifold consistent with typical unity. 
Thus, where duality is introduced, whether in the vegetable 
or animal creation, we find at once a tendency towards this 
manifoldness in creation. 
In this continuation of the species by duality (or sexual
