To follow old Scrooge through the -ordeal of loving discipline whet eby the ghosts arouse bis hea, t is to be Warmed i.n evel:y fibre of zmr d and -body with the gentle, bountiful, u.rdent, aaffectionate Christmas glow. Read at any season of the year, this .genial story clever fails to quicken' "the impulses of ten der_ •and .thoughtful cha=rity.- Read at the season of the Christian festifui, its putre, eliuo`iliirg influence is felt to be st 1 onger and sweeter than ever. As you turn it:, magical pages, you hear the midnight moaning of ehe winter wind,: the soft rustle of the4 fall i ug snow, the rat] le of the hail on naked bra.ncu and window - pain, and the far-off tumult of tempest -smitten seas ; but also there conies a vision of . snug and cosev rooms, close cartained from night, ands -the sound of merry music, mingles with the soiled of merry laughter, and all is 'warmth and kindness aud hLtppy content; and, looking on these picctii_:es, you feel the full reality of cold and wantwand sorrow as contrasted with warmthand comfort, and reeognize anew the sacred c-uty of crtriving, by all gleans; to give .to every human being a cheerful home and happv fireside. The s,>:netit>y of that duty is the moral- of Christmas,' and of the " Christmas :Carol." That such k book should hod an enelmeires place in the affectionate admiration :of mankind is an inevitable 1 esn t. of the highest motet! and mental excellence. Conceived in an mood of large hutiia?i sympathy, and expressed in a. delicate°y fanciful yet admirably: simple form of art, it aa- dtesses arike the unlettered and the cuhivated, it touches the h umblest as well as the jiigliest `order of mine, and it satisfies e - Very rational standard of taste. SQ truly is this work an in- spiration, that the thought about -its art is always an afterthought. Se faithfully and entirely does it give voice to the universal Christmas sentiment, that it seems the perfect reflex of every reader's ideas and feelings thereupon. Thera are a few other books of this kind in the world, --in which Geijius does at once and forever, what ambling Talent, had always been vainly trying to do,— and these roake up the small bocty of l iterarture w }iid•h is " for all time."

As Cam ..oils wife was dependent upon the tithing office for bier support, she was obliged to spend the most of her time in visiting that institution, and waitiug sometimes the whole day before she couldobtain anything, to the neglect of her children, who w' re crying with hunger at- home.

"It would seem that the last mom- ents of the 'lectrieal infant presented some truly astonishing phenomena° -- For nearly two'. weeks befoi e. its death, electrical lighc:3tmenirested themselves with a vividness that confounded the scientific ellen,- who ' Dilly, saw fire,' according to the- . not very respectful language of our correspondent. • " No one coulee occupy. the space around the cradle, he says, and the shocks vaere sometimes strong enough., to knock down all woo approached it Two cats rind a dog. boar lers - in the house, were compelled to leave.
