Glad ringers are pulling the ropes, and in one grand swell of melody Christmas, with its old yet ever new and marvellous mvsteries, bursts triumphantly upon the world once more. The cattle have turned their heads to the eaBt and knelt down to worship the king cradled in the manger; the houses are decked with holly; burns brightly; the gray the yule-loshadows sweep away; the sun is up and children, who have laid the bright-eyeawake all night listening for the patter of old Saint Nick'B tiny steeds on the roof, only to fall aslsep at the eventful moment, .wake hurriedly to find the stockings running over with toys and sweetmeats. Beautiful and right it is that gifts and good wishes should fill the air like snowflakes atChristmaBtide. And beautiful is the year in its coming and in its going most beautiful and lileesad because it is always the Year of our Lord. We know of no grander effect of music on the moral feelings than to hear the full choir and the pealing organ performing a Christmas anthem in a cathedral, and tilling every part of the vast jiile with triumphant harmony, ' 6 ' ,.m Uwa?

The mighty audience as she appears just takes the little woman to its bosom and sets her down on he stage again and subnits itself to her beguiling. The advantages of years are difficult to realize, but some of the elders were conscious last night that they were admitted to keener emotions than were possible to the youngmen and maidens who saw the incomble diva for the first time. They refuse to accept a farewell. They were touched by the vocal leave taking' but they were shaken in the conviction that once Hgin they would see the humorous and inti-th- e mate coquetries and blandishnihnts, her frankly deligted acknowledgements of the plaudits of her adorers and, in fact, all the little characteristics and even eccentricities that proclaim our undying goddess of song. Will there ever be an- other Patti? There are greater vocalists but they are not Patti. And with that incontrovertible proposition we say farewell - for a while. The Patti tour continues to he an astonishing fnct. It is generally known that this is a season not particularly favorable to public amusements.
