D ffrrent points of the earth's orbit have been chosen for this beginning by different nations; that is, their New Year commences at different seatons. The ancient Egyptians, Syrians, and Carthaginians, began their year at the sutumnal equincx tn Beptember, In France, under the Merovinglans, the year Logan March 1st; under the Carloringiana, December 25.b ; ander the Capetions, at Ester, until in 1564, Charles IX. ordered that January 1st should ! eyin the year. Inthe French Revolution, their calen - der—which is dated 1792—boyan the year with Sep- tember 22d, In 1806, the old calender was restor- ed, and January 1st again opened the year. But however people have differod in point cf time, in one thing they have been unanimous, viz; in marking the advent of the new yoar with mucu merry-making and an exchange of gifts.
