In all of them, we believe. II is custom
ary for families to observe the occasion,
In those localities in which the first day OF
the New Yeer ia considered worthy Of a special
observance the favorite method Of complying
with the demands OF the occasion Ia by series
OF New Year calls.
In New York city this custom has obtained
its fastest hold; but in the Western cities, like
wise, it is generally observed. In this good
Quaker City NJ is noI tolerated, being regarded
as bore and q nuisance, IL nothing worse
The denomination Of Methodists In this coun-
try has long been accustomed TO gather together
for conferen and pray er just as the old year ls
waning. These meetings are termed watch
meetings." aud the purposes for which they are
held are certainly most appropriate 10 the ocoa-
sion. The other Christian sects are beginning
to follow the example.
But the custom in bidding farewell to the old
year and in greeting the new which obtains
more than any other all over the world, Is that
of q universal ringing of bells. Not only the
huge, deep-mouthed bell In the tower, but the
very dinner or call bell in the pantry must be
made to sound Its loudest tones to aid In lu-
creasing the confusion of the hour. A perfect
medley of noise, putting to shame the har-
mony ofthe "bell.ringers," reigns for the while.
And then, to still further augment the claugor,
comes the firing Off of cannon, guns and piss
tolls. until your Jared ears are fairly deaf with
the uproar. ,
Thus we in modern times have welcomed
other incoming years, thus we will welcome
1869 tonight: and now, kind reader, goodbye.
