Astrononically, historically, poetically, it is fall of interest! We are nearer the sun by three ‘Millions of milcs than we are daring the hottest pe- riod of cammeor; and yet itis cold weather. Our eaders can doubtless ascertain the reason, if they do Dot already koow it, by inquiring of their children, @ho are parsuing their studies at school. Histori eally, ite curious customs, its religious chacacter— being the feast of the Circamcision—and its ancieat prestige, are topics of interest. Poetically, its go- niality, friendly influences, and iss universal welcome, ‘bavelong been celebratcd Che Romans, in the time of Numa, dedicated the day to Janus, who presided over the new year, and they then sacrificed to the double-faced god, who looked back upon the past a¢ ‘the same time that he scanned the future. They of- fered him a cako of sifted meal, with incense, ealt and wine, and it was alsoa castom among them, Yr all who were engaged in art or trade, to do vomiething in their calling on this day, that they might secure good fortune for the rest of tho year. Even the poets composed a few lines tor a similar purpose. Ail old grudges aud ill humor were laid aside on this occasion, and an angry word was not allowed to pas: their lips. Modern Christians might dollow this cxawple, and be the better for it. In our religious calendar it is the octave of the Nativity, and came to be honored as such im the fourth contary. At first, however, its ob- worvance was attended with fasting and humiliation, as am intended con’rast to the revelry and freedom ‘Wnduiged im by the heathen, For seven centuries the New Year sermons of the Christian preachers, ways w good authority, were of a severe and peniten- ial character, and not till sfterwards did they as- tame a more cheerful aspect, nor did the octave take, its place with the regular holidays of the Obureh. Among the Saxons, the day was honored at am early period with great merrymaking, and the cus- tom still remzins with their descendants. The ‘Ruglish antiquarions have preserved fall accounts of the maaner in which it has beon observed in their @ountry; and thoy are curious and amusing. Pre- tents, mesques, music and drinking marked the re- tarm [of the holiday. Brand extracts from en old sathor of 1570, a few lines which convey correct idea of the ey prevalent on New Year's day at that period:-— Cniil late in tho last contury, if tho custom does pot yet exist, the belis in Loudon rang in the new yenr. ‘$n Seotiand the children in many places go about from tor to door, begging for bread and cheese, which they call nog-money, and they do #0 in the following o f and dinno swelr, wit » Oat OP el sour cakue avi choose while you are here Por the time will come when ye'll be cead, ‘And cettbor veed your cheose tor breac.

It was considered true politeness to aceupt a New Yoar’s cake, and the con- goqnence wes, that what with large pociets and much civifity,a goutieman carried away almost as many cokes #s in las absence his wife had given away. The Dominics often had to walk home to get vid of their loads before they could finish their rounds. Ladies did not visit each other on New Yeur's Gy; but a intimate friends, they frequently met together in the e.cuing. follows them in 9 foaming flood. Now hoops in the drawing room keep at a distauco those visiters who would be happy to get nearer, and smiles and Lind inquiries, and the last opera, and the Last wedding, form the staple of the conversation. Off speeds Young America to the next place on his list (aundreds to be visited before aight), with his clean kids aud hair emoothed fast with bandoline, while the gray haired fathers move slowly round among the friends of their yomth, to talk over oi] times, when they were clerks together, and slept In the store ander the counter, and took their moale with their masters’ families ap staire. ‘Glorious old times! Then @ man's word was his boad, sir, and the Goveen- ment House was down by the Bowling Greea, and some of the shot of the Asia were eticking in the walls of the houses, ana good old Bishop Moore was alive aad Puseyites were scarce, and the pond in Canal street was not filled up,and there was excelient sijating, on real Holland skates, and people sailed over to Breukelyne in pettiaugars, and we bought our drinking water by tne peilful, and it cume from Jerolemus’s tea water pump, and doctors knew something and their biils were mode- rate, and old Mrs. Glasse helped many children into the world, and they grew up healthy aud econo- mical, and there was ouly ene bank in the city, and it was not every man that could get a discount. Glorious times those! No boards of brokers, no railroads to the moon, or iron cables laid acress the ocean; no swindles, no insanity, and but few law yers. No, no, indeed. But we had quite forgotten that we were tuking up your time. Happy New Year to you all. Good morning.” To some of our readers the day may not be 60 joyful. Memories may cluster around these kalends which may not be welcome. We must use all our philosophy, and be as happy aa wecan. We ail grow older. Who can help that? The French pro- verb is the best consolation we can offer those who regard New Year's day only as » milestone on life's Journey :— ‘Nous avons tous les ans oure mois, MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS.
