OLD CHURCH BELLS.
From the Dublin University Magazinel
Ring out merry,
Loudly, cheerlly,
Blithe old bells, from the steeple tower;
Hopefully, fearfully,
AOveth the bride from her maiden bower.
Cloud there is none IN the bright summer sky;
Sunshine filings benIsons down from On high;
Children sing loud as the train moves along,
Happy the bride that the sun shineth on
Knell out drearily.
Measure ont YEARLY,
Sad Old bells, from the steeple gray
Priests chanting lOwly-
SOlemnly, slowly,
Passeth the corpse nom the portals to-day.
Drops from the laden clouds heavily fall,
Dripping over the plume and the pail
Murmur old folks as the train moveth along
..Iappy the dead thai the rain raineth on
Toll at the hour Of prime,
Maiin and vesper chime.
Loved old bells. from the steeple high
Rolling like holy waves
over the lowly graves,
Floating up, prayer fraught, into the sky.
Solemn the lesson your lightest notes leach;
Stern Is the preaching your iron tongues preach
Ringing in life from the bud TO the bloom,
Ringing the dead To their rest IN the tomb.
Peal ont eyermOre-
Peal as We pealed OF yOre,
Brave old bells on each Sabbath day
In sunshine and gladness,
Through clouds and through sadness,
Bridal and burial have both passed away.
Tell us lifr's pleasures with death are still rife
Tell US that death even lcadeth 10 life;
Life Is our labor and death is our rest,
II happy the living, the dead are the hlest.

THE evils attendant upon lotteries are so
fully recognized, that it seems hardly neccs-
sary to set them forth. Some feeble at
tcmpts to revive them in Great Britain lately
provoked a storm of Indignation. \ similar
effort to secure their sanction by statute in
this State would be hooted down. Kentucky
and Louisiana cannot hold out forever
against the general opinion of the country I;
and when it has no legalized lotteries the
work of keeping the traffic under in this city
will be much simplified. Already the Con
stitution of twenty-six States expressly for
bids the Legislature to authorize them. The
commercial community is especially inter
ested in keeping the lottery mania under
ban-as much so as it is in the suppression
of gambling hells The last bank clerk who
has proved faithess in this neighborhood was
a great patron of the truly lucky offices.
No man, unless fool enough to throw his
money into the river or the fire, would go on
buying lottery tickets if he could be made to
comprehend the faulty of so doing. Penn
sylvania formerly had special society for
the suppression of lotteries, which did good
work in securing their abolition in that State.
We are not sure that similar society would
be useless now and here.-N. y. Tribune.
