Merrily, merrily ring the bells ;
Every tongue of gladness tells ;
Loud the happy chorus swells ; Glad Christmas has come ;
Every heart expands with joy ;
Every man’s again a boy ;
Every child displays its toy, Glad Christmas has come.
Lond to heaven from the ground
Christians all the world around ;'
Raise the ever grateful sound, Glad Christmas has come.
Soldiers lay aside their armor,
Clerk, mechanic, merchant, farmer,
Each to each is kiader, warmer, Glad Christmas has come.
Even hottest “Grits” and Tories,
Sinking their respective glories.
Only barter pleasant stories, Glad Christmas has come.
Free from ‘‘panics” or disorders,
We have peace in all our borders,
And have something in our larders, Glad Christmas has come.
Ah! but though our joys be sure, Let us not forget the poor, Standing, homeless at our door,
Hungry, sad and numb.
Let us for at least to-day Spare to them at least a ray Of the joy with which we say Glad Christmas has come. umorous.

American inventors promise that every family shall have the means of making its own light without cost in money, and with trifling physical exertion. Edison claims for his incandescent light that it will burn forever with absolutely no consumption of material, and Gary comes forward with a preposition to arose the electricity re- quired, without limit and without cost. If
Gary magnetic motor should prove all
at it is claimed to be, it tly simplifies question of the general use of electric light, the chief obstacle in the way of its anbstitution for gas having been the great cost of the power required to produce the electricity. The minor difficulties remai:-
