The custom Of New Years calls was less
generally observed in Rutland his year
than usual. This was the more unfortun-
ate as the DAY Was in all respects favorable,
being bright and not cold, and the sleighing
fine. There were a number Of large sleighs
out, one with four horses gaily decked,
carrying six or seven gentlemen, and seye-
raj other large parties, besides single call
ers. The ladies' frequently received, too,
in groups, which made many pleasant and
merry gatherings. The fancy cards,
with elaborate inscriptions and ornate
flourishcs, which ran riot last year, have
gone by, and most bore simply the name,
or at most the name. date, and "Happy

Services at Trinity Church.

Monday being the feast Of the circum-
cisicn, services were held in the chapel Of
Trinity church. Mr.. Mitchell delivered a
brief address from Luke H., 81
And when eight days were accomplished for
the clrcumcising OF The child, his name was
called Jesus which was so named OF the angel
before he MAS conceived in the womb.
Tho address dwclt mainly on the giving
of the name to Christ. Our names are a
part of ourselves, and with it goes out a
power. A mans name often gives weight
al d currcncy to an idea instead of saying
such a thing is believed we say such a man
believes so and 50. This being so we have
no right to debar our names from cXerting
their tull power for good. Not that our
names thould signify anything tia, our
lives do not that would be forgery. But
the point at which So many stumble is the
acknowledgment Of their faith. Christ has
a right to names as well as our service,
Our names are not mere expectations, but
we make them tokens of our future, One
day our names shall be heard. On that
great New Year, the beginning Of a new
heaven and a new earth, when Christ shall
call the roll of His saints, they will decide
our potion.
