The Fenians still active. The newest sens
alton is effort made last evening to destroy the
gas works at Glasgow. Attempts had been made
the night before to destroy the gas works at War
rington near Liverpool. In both cases the efforts
were unsuccessful. The authorities in those cities
are doubly watchiul and no further trouble is APP
pretended.
Dispatches received from various parts Of the
Kingdom report everything quiet to-day. Dis
patches received from Naples mention that the
eruption of Mount Vesuvius is continually increas-
ing in power and splcndor. Immense sheets of
white, yellow and crimson flame rise hundreds of
feet above the crater, and at night the Bay Of Ma
plies is lighted up for miles. Lava is pouring down
the mountain side in immense quantities, and
large stones occasionly thrown out from the
mouth Of the volcano. A deep rumble like rever-
beraling thunder is heard from time TO time as in
the bowels Of the earth, and many OF the people
in that vicinity have left their BONES fearing an
earthquake or other calamity. No such eruption
has probably occurred in Vesuvious for centuries.
and the spectacle IS regarded as Que OF the most
magnificent and sublime ever witnessed in nature.

NEW YEARS DAY.

We have given picture Of Christmas in oldcn
time in England aud now il may interest some of
our readers to know the customs Of New Years
day. In both the Catholic and English churches,
New Years day is observed as festival, in re-
membrance OF the circumcision of our Lord of
course, as to the time following the arbitrary
order of Pope Julius l., fixing Dee. 25 as Christ
mas day New Years was not observed by any
body with that excess Of good cheer that char
acterstic of Christmas. Most English families,
however, sat up till midnight of the last day Of De-
cember, and at that hour, from bowl Of spicod
ale comieally called lambs wool, [from the rcsem-
blance Of the foam Of the ale to wool, drank to
the health of their friends. This was called the
wassail howl, from the Saxon words ,oas hGet that
is, 10 your health. This drinking was accompa-
MED with songs, wishing good health to rulers,
masters. servants horses and cows; aud the chill
dren had songs Of their own, the chorus OF one Of
which we give, as it hints the origin of ou own
custom oil wishing happy new year;
Love and joy come to you,
Aud to your wassol too,
And God send you happy New Year,
a New Year,
And God send you a happy New Year
Our wassel cup is made Of rosemary tree,
SO is your beer of the best barley.
The bells rang out the old year and rang in the
new. and on new years day it was the cpttom to
give presents to the children.
In Scotland the scene is reversed and New
Years is celebrated with perhaps even more than
the excesses of an English Christmas, much resem-
bling the saturnala Of the pagans. There is one
pleasant custom there. however. The last day Of
December is called lIogmanay day, nobody knows
exactly why but the custom called Iogmanay is
well understood in the country towns There the
children OF the poor are swaddled each in a sheet
so as to form big pocket and then in troops they
visit The house Of every wcll-odo family for hog
manay--that is, gift Of bread, generally oaten
cakes, or other gifts acceptable to the poor. At
every house they rattle begging-song at the
door, such as
Get up, good wife, and binna sweir,
And deal your bread to them that's here,
For the time will come when youll be dead,
Aai then you'n neither need ale nor bread.
And commonly winding up with
My feefs cauld, my shoon's thin,
Gie's my cakes ard let me rim.
To the credit Of the Scotch it is said that any
wealthy family would feel slighted If the company
of little beggars missed them, and that the child
ren 60 home loaded down with food enough for
many day Of ffeas,ing after New Years

HAULING WOOD.

Could anything be better than this picture, by j.
r. Lowell, OF the New Englander, of hauling wood
in the winter5
While the first snow was pearly under feet,
team crawled creakug down Quompegan Street
Two cords OF oak weighed down the grinding sled,
And cornstalk fodder rustled oyerhead
The oxen's muzzles as they shouldered through,
Were silver fruged the drivers own was blue
As the coarse frock that swung below hs knee
Behind his load of shelter walled hei
His mitiened hands now on his chest he beat,
Now stamped the stitlened cowhides ON bis feet,
flushed as ghosts his armpit scarce could hold
The walnut whipstalk, slippery bright with cold.
