NY BIRTHDAY.
mr. JOHN Q. WHITTIER.

Beneath the moonlight and the snow
Lies dead my latest year;
The winter winds are wailing low
II dirges In my ear.
Igricve not with the moaning wind
As II loss befeIl:
Before me. even as behind,
God il. and all IL we'll.
His light shines on me from above,
His low voice speaks within,-
The patience OF immortal love
outwearying mortal sin.
Not mindless Of the growing years
OF care and loss and pain,
My eyes are wet with thank fai tears
For blessings which remain.
Ifdim the gold Of llfo has grown.
Twill mot count II dross.
Nor turn from treasures stillmy own
To sigh for lack and loss.
The years no charm from Nature take;
As sweet her voices call.
Az beautiful her mornings break.
A. fair her evenings fall. l
Love watches DER ms quiet ways.
Kind voices speak my name,
And lips that find II hard to praise
Are slow, at least. TO blame.
How softly ebb the the tides OF will.
How fields. once lost or won,
Now lie behind me green and stia
Beneath level sun!
How hushed the hiss ofparty hate,
The clamor Of the thronRi
How old. harsh voices OF debate
Flow into rhythmic song.
Methinks the spirits temper grows
Too soft In this atill air,
Somewhat the restful heart foregoes
Ofneeded watch and prayer.
The bark by tempest vainly tossed
May founder in the calm.
And he who hraved the polar frost
Faint by the isles OF balm.
BETTER than sclf-indulgent years
The outfung heart Of youth,
Than pleasantsongs In idle ears
The tumult OF the truth.
Rest for the weary hands Is good.
And love for hearts that pine,
But let the manly habitude
Ofupright souls be mine.
Let winds that blow from heaven refresh
Dear Lord. the languid air;
And let the weak ness Of the fiesh
Thy strength Of spirit share.
And. II the eye mus fail Of light,
The ear forget to hear.
Make clearer still the spirits sight,
More fine the inward ear!
BE near me in mine horrs Of need
To soothe, or cheer, or warn,
And down these slopes of sunset lead
Asup the hills Of morn!

At late meeting Of the British
Association Sir John Bowring stated
that another great stride has been
made towards the attainment OF uni
formity in the weights, measures and
coins Of all countries, by the paasing
Of law in Austria, 10 June, 1871.
rendering the use Of metric weights
and measures permissive from the lat
Of January, 1873, and compulsory
from the lst Of January, 1876. The
metric system 10 gradually difYusing
itself oil over Europe. At this mo-
ment fully two-thirds Of that CONT
nent. measured by population, have
adopted the metric system Of weights
and measures, and the other third has
manifested sufiicient interest In tho
question to justify the expectation Of
its early adhesion to the general agree
ment. But in this third there are
comprised Russia and England, two
countries which, by their population
and commerce, exercise m enormous
influence In the whole world. At this
moment, in Europe alone. nearly 2oO,-
0oO, 600 Of people have already recog-
nised the metric system ~ the inter.
national method Of measures and
weights, 100000. 600 Of whom have
adopted It In . compulsory manner.
Should Russia and England finally
place their legislation on the Same
footing, the other smaller states will
certainly follow, and Europe will have
attained perfect unity - regards
weights and measures. But In other
parts Of the world also considerable
progress has been made. In Asia. the
whole Of India may be said TO hsve
adopted the metric system, though
some time may elapse before the ac'
passed by the Indian Governmsut eau
be carried into operation. In America
the United States have intsodueed Il
| permissively whilst Brasil, Chill
MexiCO, 0renada, assd other Ameri
can republics have adopted the mOtri,
system absolutely.
