SWEET CHRISTMAS BELLS.
BY ELIZABETH +. BLANDING.
For THE News.

For THE News.
Sweet Christmas bells, ring out your
tidings to the listening earth,
Tell once again the blessed story Of our
Saviors birth ;
To high and low, TO young and cd,
your merry chimes are dear,
For every Christian heart is glowing
with the Christmas cheer.
Sweet Christmas bells, as on the ear
your silvery music falls,
A host of memories the glad, familiar
tune recalls,
OF vanished years, of youth, of homo.
and dear ones lost to sight,
Who frightened Chrstmastide, before
they went to dwell In light.
Sweet Christmas bells, love to hear ro-
peated in your chime,
That tale of other days--of childhood's
happy, far-of time;
For while, as il on hsetest wings, each
bygone Christmas sped,
Some precious recollection fingered still
when it YVES. fled.
Sweet Christmas bells, your melody shall,
soothe the weary soul
And soften sinful heart, where'er its
tranquil waves may roll;
Life's burden shall be lifted and lifoa
busy turmoil cease,
While round the world, your notes are
breathing holy joy and peace.
Sweet Christmas bells, DER land and soo.
to every distant isle.
Peal forth your Heavenly message and
all nations reconcile
Let peace prevail, good will to men, an
love 10 God on high,
Uniting, in one fellowship. all Chriso1on-
meath the skyS

A CHRISTMAS HYMN.


by Ernest Geo. wesley
ron THE NEWS
Holy Incarnation,
OF the Virgin born;
Wondrous humiliation
OF thy glory shorn.
In the dust before Thee
Low we bow the knee,
Glad, o Babe, to hail Thee
Highest Deity.
Fugitive SO tender,
Held to loving breast,
Fleeing fast to hinder
Jealous kings behest.
To Thee, glories endless,
Fer of right belong;
Thine the praises endless
Of angelic throng.
All Thine anguish crushing,
All Thy years of shame;
Waves of pain onrushing,
Glorify Thy name.
Helpless we behold Thee,
field by cords of love.
Mightiest King, we crown Thee,
King of realms above.
In the garden pleading,
Meath the olives shade:
Wearied body bleeding
On earth's bosom laid.
Godlike grandeur cleaning
From Thy crimson brow;
Floods of sorrow streaming
God, proclaim Thee now.
Pierced, bound, insulted,
Cast ont, weak. forlorn,
Cross-throned, scourged, uplifted,
Crowned with tearing thorn;
Master, Prince. we own Thee,
Blessed Lord and King,
God-in-man we greet Thee,
Giad Thy praise to sing.
Risen Lord, triumphant,
Victor gemmed we see;
Conqueror exultant,
Come, earth's King to be.
Foes o'erthrown before Thee,
Unopposed Thy reign;
Saviour, we adore Thee.
Heart-enthroned, Thy name.

Now ring the merry Christmas bell,
Let Grace Church chimes tune up as well,
The while ! rest me by the fire
To dream of things and take flyer
In Fancys fertile realm to

That have to do with Santa Claus,
And Chrstmastide and such-becausc
I'm asked to write Christmas song
That shall at least be one COL long.
The jingling slcigh-bells sweetly sound,
For, though no snow is on the ground,
Yet Santa Claus should come that way,
Behind his reindeers in sleigh.
For one Must clothe in right apparel
The things that make Christmas carol,
And 'twould be carrying things too far
To dream that in trolley car
The good Saint went about the town
A-leaving presents up and down
So, sleigh and rendeers it shall be
With pack we'll stored for you and me-
Well Jump in, too, and share the tolls
And see who gets the Christmas spoils.
Tis Governor Brown whom we call
To start the rolling of the ball.
We've something nice for him, you bet
And something he'll appreciate.
A message ready-wrtten, and
That's guaranteed to beat the band,
To tell the Assembly what to do
When next they meet to pass few
More laws, the coming January.

For this gift will be even still
More grateful tkan the Governor will

You've learned, and mighty we'll, the trick

And to your office you have lent
Much dignity and enterprise.
The Mayors chair is just your size.
We've something nice for you-that's right!
"A present that is out of sight
And just as choice as it can be-
Now listen, we will tell it thee:
The people have, with tender care
Made up your Christmas bill of fare
Roast Democrat, resistance piece
Fit for your appettes caprice.
A truffled Mugwump on the side
CThe truffles will the flavor hide,
For strange, but true It's, alice samee,
Mugwumps are now a trile gamey)-
And if you know what you're about
You'll wash it down with McGuinness stout
Which reminds us that McGuinness should
Have something, also that is good
Let's see, What shall the present be?
All here is a majority
Not for present use, my boy
Majorlties are strangely coy,
But if your party eer should win
We'd gladly see them put you in,
And, then, there's Richard Comstock-
jolly chap, but hard to please;
Perhaps he'd look quite gay and slick with
pair Of steel clad boots to kick with;
Suppose we make it that the while
We turn to meet the CHEEKY smile
