January.

Thtre is pleasing, poetical sentiment in
the old Roman idea of naming the first month
of the year after the twO-faced janus The
conception of the looking back on the past
W ile looking forward to the futune, is one of
those happy ideas for which the great pagan
minds of old were celebrated This, the first
IN nth of the year, is named after Janus, a son
of Apollo, and the most ancient king of Italy.
The word Janus, signilying agate, was con-
sideied by the ancients as applicable to the
first month of the historical year, as the gate
or entrance of the New Year. Janus is gen.
orally represented with key, and with the
number 800, in one hand and number so in
the other, implying his presidency over the
year; after his death, he was worshippcd as a
god. The opening of the new year was con-
sidered by the Romans a suitable day for
healing en- mites and making new friendships,
there was also much feasting and exchanging
of presents. This custom of Offering gifts on
the first of January was always observed in
England Mr.. Hone tells us that "in the year
1904, upon new years day, Prince Henry, then
in his tenth year, sent to his father, King
james, l., short poem in Latin hexameter
verse, being his first Offering Of the kind"
The 9th of January. or as it is commonly
known In England, Twelfth Day, has always
hecn great festival among Christian nations.
The manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles in
the persons of the Magi, all of whom are sup
posed to be Kings, are celebrated on this day.
Twelfth night in England, was, in the Olden
times, the occasion of festivities, from the
court to the peasant. Twelfth Day is also the
commencement Of the Roman Carnival; it is
opened by the firing of cannon on Monte
Pincio, and terminates at midnight on Shrove
Tuesday. The 7th of January was always
known as St, Dstaf7s Day, as the women
were then supposed to "dscontnue revelries
and fooleries and betake themselves back to
their labours." The first Monday after the
Twelfth Day, the agrcuturists were supposed
to resume their labor. hence the day was call
ed Plowlick, or Plough Monday. The 9th Of
January Of this present year, was the 214th
anniversary of the establishment of the Oldest
known newspaper in Europe. Dutch paper
called the Hdarism COurant, it having first ap-
peared in Haarlem on the 9Th Of January,
1865. On the 1ath of January, is observed
the festival of st. Veronica, An old Roman
legend relates the dreadful march of the Sa-
vior to Calvary; when his strength was fail
ipg, young Christian woman stepped from
the crowd ard wiped the sweat from his brow
with napkin" The picture of the Savior's
face was forever after Impressed upon the lin.
en-, and hence the name VeFonica--the true
image. The napkin was handed down by the
Christians as relic, and has been the subject
Of one or two remarkable conceptions among

that Tweed, through the most un-
blushing rascality has been returned

permitted to enter that body rather
he should be sent to Sing Sing
where he properly belongs. The
Legislature is largely Republican,
and we may expect it to adopt meas
ures for preventing such immense
frauds in elections in New York, and
thus the people will be enabled to rit
themselves of the accursed Tammany
Ring.

Twenty Years Age.

How wOndrous are the changes, Jim,
Since twenty years ago,
When gals wore wooIen dresses, Jim,
And boys wore pants cftow;
: When shoes were made Of calfskin,
And sock of hoinespun wool,
And children did half days work
Before the hours ofschool.
. The girls took music lessons, jim,
Upon the spining-wbeel.
And practiced late and early, Jim,
On the spindle, swing and reele
The boys would ride bsrebacked to mill,
A dozen miles or s1.
And hurry of before twas day,
Some twenty years ago.
The people rode.to church. Jim,
In sleds instead of sleighs
And wagons rode as easy, Jim,
As buggies nowadays; lt@
And oxen snswered we'll for teams,
Thoiigh now they'd be too slow,
Fer people lived not half 80 fast
Some twenty years ago.
O, we'll do remember, jim,
That Wilson patent stove
That father bought and paid for, Jim,
In cloth our girls had wove;
And bow the neighb0rs wondered
When we got the thing 10 60;
They said 'twould burst and kill us all.
Some twenty years ago.
Yes, everything IL different, Sim,
From what they used to was;
For men are always lamp 'rlnBs Jim,
With Gods great natural laws.
But what on earth we're coming to,
Does an, body know
For every thing has changed 10 much
Since twenty years ago.
