THE NEW YEAR.

January, our first month $50 called from ia
nus, an ancient of Italy, who was deifed after
his death), is derived from the Latin word JAN
uarius. Janus was reputed to preside over the
gate of heaven; the name of the month is in
dicatiye ofits being at the opening of the New
Year. Janus was represented with two faces,
looking in opposite directions one old, the
other youthful representing the old and the
other new era He held key in his hand, on
which were the numbers 365, the number of
days in year which he unlocked and presi-
ded over The temple in Rome, erected to his
memory, was quadrangular, having one door
and three windows on each side 1t stood
upon the Janiculum Hill, and was always kept
open in time of war. 1t was closed only three
times during the lapse of seven hundred years.
1t was closed at the time Of the birth of Christ,
for then the whole world was at peace. Our
Saxon ancestors called January WoLfmonat, or
Wolfmonth, on account of the famished wolves
which invaded their villages they also styled
it Aeften HaLa, or after Christmas
Prince, the peasant-poet, thus apostrophizes
the initial month:
He cometh! the elder born child of the year,
With turbulent voice and visage austere;
But his cold, caous hand, and his boreal breath
Prepare for new life the low relics of death;
changeng in temper, but ever sublime
Is this moody mad offspring of stern winter time.
The advent of the New Year has been from
time immemorial kept as day of rejoicing.
BY the Greeks it was a solemn festival by the
Romans one Of fcasting and congratuIation.
Throughout Christendom it is kept as a holi-
day. Bells are rung at midnight to celebrate
the exit of the old, and the advent of the new
year.
The commencement of the year has at diff
ferent times been assigned to the 25th of De-
cember, or Christmas day, the 1st of January,
or the day of circumcision, and the 25th of
March, or Easter day, commemorative of the
Resurrection.
Despite its icy breath and frigid aspect, rug
ged winter seems to be prophetic of joyous
new existence, as those who have become FROST
ed with age appear for the time to have ac-
quired a spirit of rejuvenescence. 1t forms a
sort of resting-place in the progress of life's
journey, from which we all persuade ourselves,
however we may deprecate the past, that the
future is gilded with Iris hopes of happiness.
II the external aspect of nature appears cheer
less and chilly, the scene is but the more height
ened by the contrast of the sunny smiles and
generous hospitalities of the happy fireside of
kindred and friends. There is something pic
turesque as well as grateful in this time hon
ored custom of commcmorating the nativity of
the year by acts of benefcence and yotiye
offerings to friendship
Friendly interchange of visits, congratula-
tions and the presentation Of gifts, seem to
have been in vogue in every age. The ancient
Druids were accustomed to cut the sacred mis-
tletoe with golden knife, in forest dedicated
to the gods, and to distribute its branches with
much ceremony as new years gifts to the
people.

I WISH YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I WISH YOU HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Gentlemen, one and all,
And you, most charming ladies'
Who giace this splendid hall
The wind is free, and biting cold,
But the fire is very near;
watch its glare through the window pane
SO wish you Happy New Year.
Excuse me, if my nose is blue
If my garments are not whole;
our coats, see, are of double cloth
Your boots are double sole.
1t Is gay and glorious wine you drink.
l can see it sparkle from here,
As stand on the pavement, cold and wet
And wish you a Happy New Year.
Oh! ladies bright and beautiful,
| came, but an hour ago,
From lonely room in lonely street,
That your footsteps never know.
saw u woman, whose blood see
Stitched in your robes of silk
How she would have relished a glass of wine
Instead of her bread and milk
The times are very, very hard,
And labor very low
In yonder garret there lies man
Whose head is tinged with snow:
The landlord says he must die to-day,
lie looks so gaunt and grim;
lie says he owes for a quarters rent
ii is very bad for him.
Fair lady, you with the golden hair,
Come gaze at this thin-ipped child;
See how she shiyers and shrinks along
Ana looks SO wan and wild.
Did you notice, lady bright and fair,
That she had an eye like you!
1t was dim and sad with hunger and cold
But perfectly heavenly blue.
1t was but few short minutes ago,
AS came through yonder lane,
That met a pale and trembling girl,
Whose face was marked with pain.
She cutched her fingers long and thin,
And raised her fearless eve
To the tempting loaves in bakers shop,
And-hurried swiftly by!
knew that pale and fearless girl,
When she was enshrined, like you,
Thejewel of precious home,
The well beloved and true.
Change comes, my gentle lady fair
Change to the loved and dear,
But change may never come to you
So wishyou Happy New Year.
All me! when was little boy,
That was happy time;
The New Year was New Year then,
My life pleasant rhyme.
But the time has passed and brought change,
A change for sorrow and woe;
But will not speak of that happier time,
lis SO very long ago.
And now my gentle ladies all,
May you never know want or sim
see that the toes are out of my boots,
And the snow water rushes in.
So bid you all gay good-by,
Though bread is very dear;
Ladies and gentlemen, fair and good,
wish you Happy New Year
