VI i.ittierS Poems.

Nc~srs Ticknor and Fields have issued
their promised Diamond edition of Whittier 5
Poem e.-unifor1n with their Diamond Long
fellow and Diamond Tennyson. The volume
contains all the authors poems, including
: >now-Bound and the :. Tent on the
BeaeiI.'' The public always welcome any
thing from the pen Of Whittier, and the
compact form in which all his poems are in
this volume presented to his admirers, is all
that can be desired. Every reader can make
this book hi companion; and ne certainly
cannot have more agreeable valuable
entertainer Although we printed it in the
FsrEuAx not long since, we copy from this
volume the exquisite poem.

The tangled bank below was still;

Religious Miscellany.

Religion is the only metaphysics
that the multitude can understand and
adopt.
The trimmer to popularity is a trait
or To God. His presence destroys unity
and zeal OF action.
In the spirit of the Christian there is
a perpetual spring tide, and in the
wintry valleys he hears the ripple of
ever-Gowing streams.
The god of metaphysics is hut an
idea; but the God of religion, the Gre
ator of heaven and earth, the Sovcr-
cign Judge of actions and of thoughts,
is power.
Brother, religion is not a jumhlc Of
principles thrown together without
system, order, affinity and completion.
They form a complete zone To cncirclc
you round abotit
Let us be men with men, and always
children before God: for i'm his ewes we
are but children. Old age itself, Ia
presence of eternity, is but the first
moment of "A morning.
This life il but the cradle of the
other. What avail then sickness,
time, old age, dcath-dificrcnt degrees
of mctamorphoSis which doubtless
has here below only its beginning?
We should speak to men of dcstruc-
tion only 10 make them think Of dura
ton, and of death only 10 make them
think of life; for death runs into life,
and destruction prccipitatcs itself into
duration.

Consumption aud Cost of Liquors.

The Revenue Commissioners fIrniSl

ardent spirits distilled and fermentcd

States, and the cost of il 10 the peopl,
of this country. That estimate is as
follows:
1000, 600 gallons of fcrmcnted liuu-
ors, in addition to 10000, Ooo gallons o,
imported liquors. The estimated COS,
of the same II S501, ,00o,o ,oo0. Bear in
mind that that is the estimate of liol,-

annual revenue from the liquor buSi-
ness of SI7, -, ,276. The above. of
course, does not include the quantity
OF liquor smugglcd into the country.
ON which no duties are paid, nor the
immense quantity of distilled spirits
secretly manufactured, Of which the
Government has no knowledge. This
would increase the total amount con
sumcd TO millions of gallons more. and
add millions Of dollars To the whole
cost beyond the enormous estimate
given above.
y Very snail proportion Of this is
consumed for medical and mechanical
purposes, while the rest, an over
whelming balance, is drank, to the
amazing detriment of the American
people. We wish we could furnish an

How TO Save the Rain.

The waste of the rainfall i'm a small
and crowded territory like England, il.
becominga serious matter ~ towns en-
largc and multiply an,l br-in co clutch
at the slimitei sources of pure water
supply. At the rate OF progress i'm the
past, the attain1nent Of wholesome
water for London anu all the other
great towns, now SO expensive and
diilicHlt, will in time become impos-
>ible. To give the population Of Lon
don % gallons of water per head per
day, would require the mean rainfall
of 10000 acres, if every drop were
saved. The project put forth by an
English engineer, 10 collect rain for
the metre polls on glass roofs (bcncath
which winter gardens might bc car
ried on would require glass making
on a rather large scale. Not TO DESTROY
the land, 1T least half the rainfall must
bc given up to irrigation. 30 that ] 10
600 acres of glass roofing would be the
smallest allowable estimate. Probably
the plan is designed only TO supply
pure water for drinking and culinary
purposes, leaving the Thames TO meet
,ne coarscr wants. The 1000 acres
which it is proposed to roof with glass
would give nearly gallon and half
of water per day to each Of the inhabi-
tants of the metropolis This would
require nearly l75, 900, 600 square feet Of
glass, costing from fifteen To twenty
millions of dollars and much larger
sum for the framework, besides rcscr-
voirs, conduits, &c. The calculation
shows how hard it may one day t.

Robert Stephenson was very fond of
reducing his scientific reading to prac-
iicc; and after studying Franklin's de-
scription of the lightning experiment,
he proceeded 10 eXpcnd bi~ store of
Saturday pennies in purchasing about
halfa mile of copper wire at brasicr's

his kite, he sent il up in the field op-
positc his fathers door, and bringing

Educat: Oh and Crime.

That there il a close alliance between
crime and ignorance, is evident to
every observing mind. The editor OF
the Indiana School Journal, in the
February number, gives the following
statistics:
"Thc annual report of the Southern
Prison of our State for the year 1863.
shows that out OF 2i7 convicts IS had
no education, go could only read, , had
"a good English education, and / Il
classical; remaining l26 were able to
read and write. The report for the
same in 1854, shows that out of 22G
corivicts 60 had no education. ~ could
only read, , had IA good English cdu-
cation, and l39 could read and write. 4"
The reports of the Ohio and Penn
sylvania Prisons are similar. The
above shows that a heavy per cent. of
criminals are illitcrate, and that many
more are nearly so.
cOSr OF CRIME.
The same authority School .Iournal)
says that the cost of convicting Grim
inals for 1866, in SO counties, was 81
3'2 %. Now, suppose the remaining
Ji count cs should report the same, the
amount in round numbers for the
State would bc SIs7 900. But i'm max
ing an adequate estimate it must be
borne IN mind that the above il only 4
part of the actual expenses.
Yet this amount is nearly onc-lifth
Of the whole amount spent for tuition
in the common schools of the safe.
The statistics for paup":isin is even
worse. Now, wou:d it not be better 10
pay more for education and less for
criminals and paupcr>? This is sub
jcct worthy the consideration of the
people and legislators.
The follow ing is an act providing for
