A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

A Happy New Year: Why. certainly;
we are all good enough Christians to
ding the wish at the heads of all our
friends, and few If our enemies, too,
not on the LIST of January only. but
every day the year round for the matter
of that. Why the wish was pinned to
the Janus faced firstling of the year
is question that would require until
the Slst of next December to an
swer fully. and rare store Of outlaud-
ish stuff would be the outcome. The
LIST of April is nearer being the true first
day Of natures year. but we feel little
sensitive about fixing it SO, goodness
knows why.
Our good cousins in Scotland are re-
sponsible for the high jinks now gener-
ally associated with New Years dav bv
the British, just as the Hollanders have
the credit of establishing it here, Across
the sea they celebrate all religious feasts
by eating something-at the birth Of our
Lorl they gorge on roast beef and plum
pudding, his Easter resurrection by bolt
ing hard boiled eggs. Good Friday is
made gloomy by swallowing indigesuble
hot Cross buns and Shrove Tuesday bv
dySpeptic pancakes.
We. more truly civilized. mortify the
desh on turkey to show our thankfulness.
and sancufy the year By slipping native
wine during its first lunch hour. So. long
live our good I'D customs and Happy
New Year 10 rs all.
