THE JEWISH NEW YEAR.-This festival, called
Rosh 1shinar, or beginning of the year, com
menced asst evening at sunset. 1t marks the
commencement of the Jewish new year, and Is
the first dyl of the seventh month called 13sh'y,
and, accouing to jewish chronology, the year
5627.
This holitay is observed by Israelites generally
as day setapart by Divine command for holy
communion, penitence and prayer, and is one
among the bw festivals on which the Shophar
cornet or rams horn is blown during service in
the Synagogue. The cornet used. in the temple
service was 3 straight horn Of q ohamois, the
of which was covered with gold. The
cornet now used in the Synagogue is made from
the rams horn. The blowing of this instrument
is commemorative Of the sacrifice of ISAAC, and
omblematic OF obedience to Gods commands. 1t
is intended that the recollection of this remarks
BILE event should be impressed upon the hearts Of
t1oTo ri dawn
tion and obedience. As ABRAHAM yielded his
dearest possession to the Divine behest, so should
bis descen dants> follow his example, and make
those sacrifices which are demanded Of them in
The service of God.
The beautiful and pathetic narrative of the sa-
criice of ISAAC, is read just before the ceremony
Of blowing the cornet. In the Jewish Ritual the
narration is slightly changed from the original
text, but abounds with all tho poetic thoughts of
the Biblical history. We quote two verses of the
former for the edi6cation Of our readers:
s'Both then went forward to do tho holy work,
when Isaac thus addressed his father: Nv father!
see the fire and the wood for the sacrifice; but
where is the lamb thou are wont to bring,-dost
thou on this day thy custom forget?"

We must trust, for he it is who will select for the
sacrifice the lamb. Know whatever God dcsireth,
that even he doeth lot us build, my sou, this day.
before Him 9 throne, then exalted shall be tho
sacrifice and the sacrihcer."
The precept for tho observance of this Festival
IS found in Numbers, Chapter xxx, to Verses
sAnd in tho seventh month, on the first day of
The month, ye shallhavo q holy convocation. Ye
shall do no seryile work; it is a day Of sounding
he cornet to you," &c., sc. =
