SONG FOR wsaE NEW NEAR.

Old Time has turned another page
Of eternity and truth:
lie reads with warning voice to age
And whispers a lesson to youth.
A year has fled DER heart and head
Since last the yule log burnt;
And we have task to closely ask.
What the bosom and brain have learnt
Oh! let us hope that our sands have run
With wisdoms precious grains;
OH may we find that our hands have done
Some work of glorious pains.
Then welcome and cheer to the merry
new year
While the holly CLEANS above us;
With Il pardon for the foes who hate,
And prayer for those who love us.
We may have seen some loved ones pass
To the land of hallowed rest;
We may miss the glow of an honest bow
And the warmetll of u friendly breast:
But If we nurscd them while on earth.
With hearts all true and kind,
Will their spirits blame the sunless mirth
OF those true hearts left behindf
No, no. it were not well or wise
To morn with endless pain;
There's q better world beyond the skies,
Where the good shall meet again.
Then welcome and cheer to the merry
new year,
While the holly CLEANS above us;
With pardon for the foes who hate,
And prayer tor those who love us.
Have Our days rolled on sereney free
From Sorrows dim allowf
Do we still. possess the gifts that bless
And till our souls with Joy!
Are the creatures dear still cinging ncarl
DO we hear loved voices comet
Do we gaze on eyes whose gIances shed
A halo around our home!
Oh, il we do, let thanks be poured
To him who hath spared and given,
And forgot not o'er the festive board
The mercies held from Heaven.
Then a welcome and cheer to the merry
new year,
While the holly CLEANS above us,
With pardon for the foes who hate,
Aud prayer for those who love US.

GALvANIsM The discovery OF this in.
teresting branch of science, formerly call,
ed "aniInal electricity" is first noticed in
a work entitled "rhe General Theory of
Pleasures" published in 1850. 1t failed,
however, to attract attention; and this
new kind Of electricity was left to be
again brought into notice by Louis Gal
vani, professor Of anatomy Mt Bologna. -
1t appears that the wife of Galvan being
in bad state of health, was recommend
ed a soup made of frogs, as restorative !;
and some Of these animals, skinned for
the purpose, happening to be on the table
in Galvani's laboratory, on which was
placed an electrical machine, one Of his
assistants in his experiments, by accident,
brought the point of scalpel in contact
with set of nerves of frog, lying near
the conductor, when the muscles Of the
animal became strongly convulsed. A
repetition Of the experiment, attended
with similar effects, led 10 a regular in.
vestigation of the cause, an account Of
which was published by Gavani in 1901.
In the year 1900, Volta made known his
discoveries in connection with this branch
Of science, and it has since been deve-
oped still further.

SOLITUDE, though silent as light, is like
the light, the mightiest of agencies, for
solitude is essential to man. Even little
child has dread, whis 2ering conscious
ness that if summoned into Gods pres
ence no gentle nurse will be allowed to
lead him by the hand, nor mother to car
~ him in her arms, nor little sister to
share his regulations. King and priest,
warrior and maiden, philosopher and
child, all must walk those mighty gallep-
les alone. The solitude, therefore, which
in this world appals or fascinates child's
heart is but the echo of far deeper
through which he has to pass reflex of
one solitude-prefguratioa of another
[De Quincy.
