Whence or how it came we know not, but atep by step, through daylight and dark- nesn, whilo we thought mot of it, but oceupied ourreives with business or pleasure; in the night-time, while we slept and took no heed, it ‘was ateadily marching toward us, and now it has reached us—the New Year! Are we ready to meot it? Iave we prepared a fit welcome to grect this new-comer who for 365 days to como is to walk the path of life by our side, our com- panion through weal and woo? Have we piven a cordial adieu to our comrade of the past twelve~ month as he pauses on the threshold ero he van- ishes from our sight forever? It may bo that we have met, on our Now Year's Eve,,* to chaso the floeting hours with flying feet”; but mirth and jollity, song and waseail, aro sll to greet the new-coming year, but not & thought followa the old, tottering from our sight nto darkness and oblivion! Tor him no passing bell doth toll. Why should it ? for mon slways turn from the sotting to groet tho rising sun. #Tho King is dead! Long live tho King!" is the cry of the faithful subject of lis sover- elgn. 8o do iho years mover perish,—each stopping Into tho placo and clothing himsolt with the individuality of its predecessor; each beoomes, like tha divinely-appointed ruler, im- mortal. The beginning of the new yoar is an excollont timo for Loth THOBPECT AND RETROSPECT, for looking forward into the future and gazing back over tho past, We have all indulged in tuis ploasing cxercigo, and doubtless it is a8 old s bumanity itsclf. Ono ean fancy Adam and Evo together repenting over their shortcomings over s bowl of spiced punch, and making cx- cellont resolutiona of good behavior, hoth re- cording solemn and churactoristic pledges to his effcct ou the first pags of their diaties, ns {follows: .

But, Liowover the yoars may bave come and gone to the dwellors in Edon, it is certain that the an- eiont Romans understood this jostinct of man which makes tho timo of the oponing year tho threshold on which panse both Memory and Ilare, whon thoy placed thero the god Janus, with two faces, one looking backward, the other forward, i If a titho of TIX 000D NESOLUTIONS formed on New Year's Day were kept, whata good world thin would be!

This was decreed in_Rome in tha time ©f Numa Pompillus, 672 B. C. At this timo two months were added to the ten that formerly mads up the year, and names were piven them. Tho name of tho first mouth owes its origin either directly to janua, & word mesn- lnz‘l(donr. since the first month might be said to open the doors of the year, or indirectly to tho sama word, thongh the name of Janus, the god who presides over the opening ear, and also ovor all portals, The god Jaouw 18 ropresentod s an old man, whosetwo faces, looking in opposite directions, bad long, snow- white Learda, 1t is worthy of remark, that, oven siter tho change iutho calendar, the Jawish voag was still & legal vesrin many couutrics. ndeed, it was not until 1753 that the yenr of the Jews ceased to bo accourted alegal one in En- gland, TUE FARLY SAXONS cailed this first mantu of the year *Wolf-monat,"" since ln it the wolves, the terror of all England in those times, wers e!fimcully daring sud fe- roclous. Driven from thoir caverts and hiding- places among the Inlls aud forests by the pangs of hunger, they often veutured even into the towcs, and attacked podestriaus upon the atreets. Indeed, 1f the old clirounicles aro to be believed, the question of ' the posscasion of large tracts of Pountry was at ouo titne a closely-contested one betwesn the Fuoph and tne wolvew, 'ristis (u- Pus, a8 Virgil terms Lim, with his very numer- oua tribe, cntrenchod himself in the fastuesses of the mountains of Wales, aud the Mnils of the “West Countrio,” whence ho sallied forth at pleanure ta plundor and isy waste, And Shore Le might have Leld hisown to this day, [mlnrm_. it Kivg Edgar, in Y64, had not offered 0 lor‘r’lva the Welsh puu[)lu their yearly tribute of golden marks on condition of thoir furninhung Instead 800 wolves' hoads mnnually.

It was also called '* Lamb's Wool." No satisfactory explanation of this Iattor name hns over been given. According to tn okl custons, whicl: has not yot passed away, a bownl of liquor prepared in this way was carried about by young peopla on New Yoar's Eve, wlio sang anpropriate verees as they passed from door to door. In Scotiand this metbod of ushering in the New Year was carried to such nn_cxtant, {hat wholo familics would turn out to eatry tho Wasaail Bowl through the strects, audin Edinburg, itisciodibly told, the principal ftreots of tha city were more thronged at midnight of the last night of the year than during the day, whilo & majority or 1hio houtes wero quite deserted. OF cotirso, thiy circumstance was soun takon advantage of by the Jawless portion of the community, whoso raids upon unguerded bouscs were nol fong in Lringing the cnatom of wassailing on tho streets into such disfavor that it waq virtaally abolished. TUE INTRODUCTION OF CHRIBTIANITY among our ancestors did not at all tend to abol- inl the practico of wasssiling. On the contrary, thio custom soon began to wear o religious guise, and the Waseail Dowl itself wos placed at the right hand of the Abbot, in the refectorics of the monnsterios.

Tacitus mentions an order of Tiberiua, whicl forbado the giving or acmanding of New- Year's gilts, excepting on tho calendo of Janu- ary ; et this (imo gifts wore not only universally oxchangod between families, but Sonators and Knights brought valuable offerings to the Lm- pofar. Bpecial oblations were mado to the *f im- mortal gods ” on that day, and among the favor- ite tokens of friondsbip recordsd wers fruits covored with gold-leaf, In England, gifls were very common somo timo ago betwoen different classes. The gentry mado valuable gifta 1o tho no- bility, and the nobility showored benetits, till mora valuable, upon tho Royal family. The record of tho Now-Year's prescuts given to Queen Elizaboth forms s very long lter, and inchdes svory article, uscful or otherwise, of a lady's wardrobe, jowels, and purses of gold, In Charles 11.’s timo tho Court gifts renchied on one oceasion tbe enormous sum of £3,000, montly sent in money, Thera was often an object In theso gifts, wo may weil supposa, An ancedote is told of Sir Thoman More, in this wise. A lady, who greatly do- gired tho aid of his influence ac Court, sent him, on Now-Vear's Uny, a‘pair of gloves quite filled with gold piecow, The worthy knight, who might bo eaid, like the Chovalier Dayard, to bo sans peur et sans rc- proche, roturned tho monoy with this messago “1 thank you for tho fh‘“' dear Madam, but a8 for the lining, I will have nona of it.” Thi gift-giving quito foll out of fashion during the Commeonyealth, but at the Restoration was re- sumed with more vigor thon ever, ‘Tha giving of Now-Yonr's presants is enrried on to an astonishing extent by (he French. In Tatls, tho oxchunging of Now-Year's calls, in conjunction with gift-giving, is univereal.

The State Teachers® Association Con- cludes Its Labors, Address by President Moss on The American College. Elcction of Officers, STATE TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION, CONCLUSION OF THEID DELIDERATIONS. Tho sesnlons of the twenty-firat anniversary of the Illincis Htate Teachers' Associstion were concluded yesterday, At9 a. m, the colloge mection assembled in the lecture-toom of the churely, Edward I, Weston acting a8 Chafrmao, DI LEMUEL 31088, , Tresident of the Chicago University, dolivered an address, his subject boing **The True Idos of tho American College.” Il sail the subject nssumed that thers was much a thing as an Ameriean collogo as distinguished from the in- stitntions of other and oldercountries, In such 8 college there must be the elements of spon- tanelety, of adaptability to the circumstances of Ameriean life. It could pot he expected that tho English or Germau college-nystema could grow on American soil, and, no matter how 1much wa conld learn from European institutions of learning it was impossible to transplant their systoma, as 1t was to transplant tuoir habits, maunors, and customs. An Amerlcan collego should not be merely & degree-furnicher. The Doctor not long ago attended an examination at 8 certain collego in which there were no Fresh- men aod Sqphiomores, and yot, with 8o aatonish- ing complacency, it conferred threo degrees of Doctors of Divinity. The fundamental ides of tho American college was that it should be & training-school, having mora reference to the student than the course of study, the scope be- ing tho training of the moral and intellectual facultics of the man ; to strengthen and dovalop all his inherent qualities, that he might koow bimself, how to uec and handle himeelf, and kuow what to do, It should cultivate these four faculties: Tio facully of observation., The ability to sce tiuly, exactly, accurately, whatever might be the objoct of observation, The faculty of judgment,—tho ability to ecstimato and welgh the comparative importaoce of things ob- served. Tho error 1 ol the departmenta of lifo camo from the inability to dlacriminate ac- curately; and the cultvaticn of such & faculty should be,in the Doctor's ovinion, one of the chief- est objects of the system of the American col- loge. ~ The power of thought—the auility to thiuk. to go on from the observed aud discrim- iusted facts to tho conclusions to which they led. This was the great battlofield of tho day in law, in politics, iu religion, Yet there wero iaws of thought ‘just a8 truo, potent, resistless, and he would add as infailible, a8 the laws of things. Man was so coustituted that he could not avoid thinking, Therefore it was a great object of ths coilege to cultivate and guide the power of thought, tho sbility to think, recognize, and to kuow the powerful elewonts of lus being. The faculty of uttering tha thoughts, of giving cxpreseion to the thoughts and feeliugs of tho wind, It had been said & good mauy times that the higliest power in mau was the power of ut- teranco, to speak and give form and exprossion to the feelings, couvictions, and thoughts of the noul. Great, then, was tho cultivation of this power to utter thoughts that the words might come forth minted, coined from the tongue. ‘Tle queation was Lot aa to tho organization of tho college, but rather as fo what the collego should be expected to sccomplish. The aim should be to cultivate, develop, and make sym- motrical tha manhood of tho wan. Iu the attain- maut of this work the main relianco must be on tho iustruction. 'The question of method was of eccondary 1mportance. The point was iu the eeloction of men as instructors. Men should bo ongsged as instruciors who were to draw out sl that was in tho student, mske bim largo-minded—as largoas God would permit. It was of vastly more importance tlhat a faw subjects should be well and complotely dealt with than thot a pumber shonld be merely dab- bled in. Tho study of languago caltivated the power of discrimination and of obsersation, and the power of utteranco. The study of languago seomed 40 be the principal tool f collero oduoa- tion. It might b that too much attontion was Rivento tho study of the ancient languages, but it could not be denled that the snciont languages stood at the root of themodern languages. The spoaker exprassed beliof in the posaibility that tbe ancleut and modern lauguages could be taught with a direct bearing upon the English tongus. American colleges sbould be wade worthy ofs the nswme they bore, and dis- couragoment should be = given to tho thought so prevalent that it was necessary fo go sbrood in order to recelvo a thorough education—to go abroad, whore Ameri- can students were traincd out of all sympathy with their country, their home, and society. lle would not deny that specialists, after having ex- haustod the resources of America, might profita- bly go abroad. General study fitted the mind for “tho great battlo of Iife, and, as expericnce taught, au abeiract study might be the avenue ta the developmont of soma great pawer. Prof. Fawcott, the political ecouomist of England, Liad made a statemont corroborative of the ex- poricnco. Ho eays that his traiuiug had been wainly mathematical. There wers two general considerations. No college could afford to over- look the carc of the bodics of men, There must bo & physical basis on which rested all the power of the futellect, Unleas the body be sirong and Lealthy, tho mind must be woak. The muscular power must lave attontion, elsa the mental faculties failed. Then, also, must bo cultivated the moral power, earuestness, principle, character! If & man did not possces these, bo was aither weak, or ineffective, or mischiovous, The true American college, In this ides, wonld seak Lo develop the entire man,—bady, mind, aud hoort,~that he might Lo set down with a trained body, a cultivated mind, and a moral eatnestnosa that would not stop short of victory. A geoeral diecussion ensued, in which Prof. Olney, of Michigan University, took a promi- nent’ part. Hoe In goneral terms indorsed the views of Dr. Moss. Dr. J. P. lilanchard read a paper on * Co~ education,” afier which the Bection adjourned. TUE INTERMEDIATE BECTION assermbled in the church at9a.m., under the Preridoncy of H. H, O.

I'hie attondance at the moeetings was veryslim. In the Collega Section thers were but six audi- tors ab twenty minutes past 9, sud when Dr, Mosa commenced his address only a dozen per- sons were preseut. Dr, Moss was seemingly dia inplined to spoak to such » small audience. His feelings may bo imsgiusd from the profatory ro- marks tohis addresa: ‘I bave, in my littlo ex- petience as & clergyman, always rofrained from scolding {lenpln for not attending church. When 1 contrast this audlence with jesterday's, I think that those present yesterday heard enough of me inthe few remarks that” I made, and did not cara to attead to listen to me ag Before the Doctor had finikhe address the room had become well filled. In the Intermediate Soction, too, the attend- anco was bare as late as half-past 9 o'clock. It was sccountsd for by some present by saying that Chicago's attractions proved 100 much for many of tha visitors, who indulged, no doubt, in ‘vinits to tho theatres and other places of amuxe- ment, entailing to tho uuaccustomed oncs late hours at might, and consequent Iate hours in the morning.

IxpiararoLss, Ind, Dec, 31.—The meeting of the State Teachers' Association closed to-night, after » seasion of unusual interest, Tho atteud- ance has been larger, and the proceedings have embraced papers and discussions of more than average merits, This morning Prof. Roterts, of the Indianapolis High School, formerly of Galesburg, read a paper on * Highor Educa- tion," fu which he sald : ** The purpose of the bigher education is to fit men and wemen who possens naturalgifts for the so-called higher, i. e., the.more intellectual, walks of life.
