WATCH IMEETINGs.-The Methodist,
from the time of Wesley until now, have
been accustomed to spend the last night
of the year in religious services. Their
custom is TO watch the old year out and
the new one in with prayers, songs, re-
newing the covenant and sometimes par
taking of the Lords Supper. The people
are reminded of the flight of time, the
swift approach of eternity, and OF the
necessity of working while it Is day; SIM
ners are e1horted to repentance chris
tians are urged TO renewal of their VOWS,
which is often done formally by singing
the covenant hym, by Charles Wesley;
Come, let US use the Grace Divine,
And all with one accord
In perpetual covenant join
Ourselves IL Christ the Lord.
Give up ourselves through Jesus power,
His name TO glorify,
And promise in this sacred hour
For God to live and die, &c.
As the last moment Of the old year are
pining away the congregation kneels in
silent prayer, and then, as the advent OF
the new year is announced, the New
Year hymn is sung
Come, let US anew our Journey pursue,
Roll round with the year,
And never stand still till the MaSterappear
His adorable will let us gladly fulfill,
And our talent improve
BY the patience ofhope and the labor oi!oNe
New Years greetings and salutations
are then interchanged, and the people
separate to their homes. These meetings
generally awaken much interest and are
largely attended.

THE OPERA HoUsE.-Mr. McWade
closed very successful engagement At
the above named popular place of amuse-
ment, on Saturday night. Each of his
representations of Rip Van Wrinkle was
given to crowded houses, excepting the
last, when, owing to the inclement wealth
cr, there was assembled a good, though
not as large an audience. n at the pre-
viods performances. He was received
with much enthusiasm, and the usual eX-
precision of satisfaction. His support was
exceptionally good, the play well placed
upon the stage and altogether, he sue
cecded in establishing himself firmly
in popular favor.
As an actor, he is not to be expected
to equal Jefferson, who has made the
character essentially his own; but as
Jefferson when here, was poorly support
ed, the public were even more favorably
impressed with Mr.. McWade's per-
formancc than with his.
Upon the whole, no more pleasant and
agreeable entertainment for the New
Years holidays could have been provided.
