And the fields gave no yerdurs for fear of the

Oh, still in thy loneliness emblem the flower,
Give the fragrance of feeling to sweetness

And prolopg not again the brief cloud of an
hour, all.
With tears that but darlken the rest OF the day.
Forgive and forget! there's no breast so I'M
feeling
But some gentle thoughts of affection there
live;
And the best of us all require something con-
cealing,
Some hearts that with smiles can forget and
Then away with the cloud from those beautiful
eyes,
have met;
Oh, how could cur spirits e'er hope for the

METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS -
A circular just issued by Brigadier Cen
eral Albert j. Myers, chief signal officer,
and addressed I" to the voluntary meteor.
illogical observers who have reported to
the Smithsonian Institution, states that
with the approval of the Secretary Of War
and at the very courteous suggestion of
the distinguished secretary of the Smith
sonian Institution, Prof. Joseph Henry,
this Office has assumed such charge of this
system of meteorological observations
hitherto conducted by that institution as
may be found consistent with the interests
of the public service. The voluntary OBJ
servers heretofore reporting to the Smithso-
MAN institution are therefore invited to con-
tinue their labors, reporting to this office.
Stamped envelopes, blank forms, instruc-
tons, etc., will be supplied upon applica-
tion.n In assuming this care, the chief
signal officer expresses the hope that the
cordial and effective cooperation, so long
had on the part of the observers with the
Smithsonian Institution, may be extended
to his office; and says sit is proposed to
furnish such observers as may, by this ar
rangement, become correspondents of the
office, copies of papers from time to time
published by it,"
An accompanying circular of Prof. Hem
rvs, addressed as that of Gen. Myers,
hopes the transfer will meet the approba-
ton of observers generally, and says:
"We shall retain for the present all the
records of observation which have been ac-
cumulating at the Institution during the
last rs years, and continue the work of
their reduction and discussion up to the
end of the year 1873"
