MISCELLANY.
THE METRIC SYSTEM.

An import ant and vigorous movement
has lately been made throughout the
United States to bring into more general
use the European (metric or decimaN sys-
tenn Of weights and measures, The sys-
ten was legalized by our Congress nine
years ago, and has now been adopted in
our principal scientific works. H. ~.
The American public is already fam
iliar with the principles Of this system
without being clearly conscious of the
fact, inasmuch as j, appears in the sim
plest and most familiar Of our tables,
namely, that of the federal currencv.-
our mills, cent, and dimes corresponding.
both in NOMENCLATURE and in their decimal
relations to each other, with the mill.
imetcr, cent.imeter, dec-imeter, the min.
igram, cemt-igram, dec-igram, the mil
litter, ce1t.iliter, dec litter, which consti-
tute the metric system Of weights and
measures.
This perfectly simple nomenclature is
composed of twelve words, all in use in
the English language, thus: meter in
thermometer, MILL, cent?, deci, in mill,
cent, and dime; deka in decade, hectic in
hecatomb, k,lo in chiliad, msyrio in my
Rad, liter in itrameter, gram in gram

long been taught in our schools, espec.

stitucnts at home.
For futher progress in this direction,
therefore we must now look to the people
themselves. The work must be done
practically, not by the literary and scien.
tific, who, however deeply they feel the
Importance Of the subject, and however
earnestly they may desire an immediate
change for the better, are not in position
to secure its general adoption. Nor can it
be done by the laboring and less educated
classes who no more feel the want of it
than the world in general felt the want
of steamboats, and railroads before the in.
vention of steam power. It must he done
by those whose professors require chem
to make constant use Of weights and mea-
sure. and for whom the imperfections of
the present system are continual source
of annoyance and loss in time and power,
and whose position is such in ralation to
the other classes that their example must
be followed both by those on the one hand
whom they employ, and by those on the
other who employ them.
The work of introducing the metric
system Of measures oflength or distance,
for instance, should be undertaken bv
the architects, engineers, and builders,
By agreeing to use exclusively the metric
measures Of length, in all their profess
sional transactions, commencing on a GER
tain day fixed several months in advance,
they will necessitate the gradual and har-
lnonious introduction Of these measures
as we'll among the workmen employed BY
them as by their clients for whom their
plans are made, for, in order to understand
the measurements figured upon these plans
by the architects, such workmcn must ia.
miliarize themselve, with the principles
of the system from which the mum bers
are derived.
Vigorous efforts will he necessary, and
many difficulties must be overcome, be.
fore we can hope to succeed. But so large a
portion Of the civilized world has already
accomplished what we are proposing, coun.
try after country in so rapid succession
has ranged itself in the metric ranks, that
the necessity Of things must soon drive
us into completing what we have already
begun; and no rejecting man will deny
that the difficulty Of making this unavo;d.
able change must necessarily continue to
increase, the longer it is deferred, and that
whenever destiny becomes manifestly
inevitable: It is the part Of wisdom to adj
vance to meet it, rather than to await the
lingering process by which it must other.

A TEST OF LOVE.

Mrs. Clark had been reading the Beech.
er-iilton scandal until her faith in man
had dwindled down to very fine point. !;
she had q poor opinion of them.
She had noticed that her hitherto low
ing spouse had, for the past two weeks,
been low-spirited and down-hearted.
She thought that perhaps he. too, had
been led from the path of virtue, by the
de]uding voice Of some bewitching siren,
and that his love for her was growing cold.
But now we find out if such was the case.
Josephus did not show any signs Of pro:
ducing o statement, or ofconfessing his
guilt to mutual friend.
Her brow corrugated, and her hands
clenched as she brooded over her i'm
aginary wrongs, and she determined to
put the fidelity of her husband on the test.
But how to do it, that was the question.
"Aha! l have it," said she, trium-
phan:ly.''
It'll drown myself, that is, fgurative.
ly."
Clark was farmer in good circum.
stances, and being several years younger
than his wife. and good looking, it kept
her in state ofperpctual worriment and
jealousy. Mrs. Clark proceeded to put
her plan into execution.
just behind the house was very deep
we'll that had not been used for some time.
and it was covered over now with some
boards tc prevent the cattle from falling
into it
She removed the covering from the we'll,
and placing her bonnet and shawl upon
its brink. crawled under. a large goose
berry bush to await developments.
The weather was cold. and she was
nearly frozen before she saw her husband
and the hired man coming from the barn
where they had been working.
Clark passed by the we'll without no.
ticing the clothing; but the hired man
saw them and gave a cry Of horror.
"Mercy on US, Mr.. Clark! Your wife
has thrown herself in the wellW he
shouted frantically.
Mrs. Clark expected that her husband
would tear his hair and rush to the edge
of the we'll, and, after calling her all the
endearing names he could think of. de.
sccnd into the watery depth in eager
search of her cold, damp corpse.
But Clark did not do anything of the
kind. He calmly took fresh chew oil
tobacco, and then approaching the we'll,
he looked quietly into it.
Il guess the old girl has suicided," said
he, without any emotion worth speaking
OF. "Jake, you sling them boards back
again; l wouldn't have that brindle heif
er get in there for fifty dollars; and after
dinner we'll hoist the old woman OUT
"Hadn't better get some of the neigh
bors here first 2 asked the frightened
man.
'After dinner will do, Jake. Business
before pleasure is my motto, and I'm
awful hungry
Jake covered up the we'll, and the men
went into the house, leaving the old lady
bowling with rage.
