OF willul disobedience. His excuse for not
doing so was that the road was encountered
with wagons. Porter himself said he sent

had an understanding the order was not to

the principles and most earnestly de-

and, having drunk to all, the others
drank in regular succession, the one
to the other, until the wassail had
gone the round of the tables.
A relic of this custom is still re-
tanned by the corporation of the city
of London. A double-handled fagon
of spiced wine is placed before the
lady-mayoress if she be present, or,
in her absence, before the presiding
officers, and she or he, standing up
and holding the fegon in both hands,
drinks to the health of the company,
as called out by the POSTMASTER. He
then passes it to the person on his
left hand, who, also standing, drinks
to his left hand neighbor, and so in
turn until all have partaken. The
ceremony is known as that of the
Loving Cup"
The ringing ont of the old year and
ringing in of the new has given place
to singing in the new year, and in
Yorkshire; England, is known as the
watching night service" The intro
duction of religious services in con-
nection with the advent of the new
year would appear to be again gain
ing ground improving the oeca-
sion," as it is termed by some, by
urging on all a resolution to amend
their ways and to reflect on the past.
HE that good thinketh good may do,
And God Will help him thereunto;
For never yet was good work wrought
Without beginning of good thought"
The celebration of New Years eve
and day is much more marked in
Scotland than in England, and its
greater prominence may be in some
sort attributed to their being no
Christmas festival permissible by the
Calyanistic regime. In this conncc-
ton it may be observed that to the
same cause operating upon the Puri-
tan settlers of New England may be
traced the more notable celebration
of the day in America.
