What joys and sorrows it brings in its train we know not the luture must develop them. But we ard permitted to hope that it ushers in an era1 of pros 4erity and happiness to all ourfriends and the world generally. Nothing we can write will prove so interesting to the t ti r - , . reader as the following description as . , r tw to how New Year's Eve and the day are looked upon an observed jn different climes, as well as the mention of some ancient customs, so we yield the space. . All civilized and semi-civilized races of mankind appear, as if by natural in stinct, to have adopted cither ceremo nials, rejoicings, or an interchange of social amenities, at the inauguration of a new year. "As the period of. the demise of the old and birtlf o the new year is not arbitrary, but merely marks the comple tion, of the earth's revolution around the sun from any one point to its orbit back to the same point, or nearly so, the times xf auch so-called New Years vary. 1 hus the Christian, the Jewish, the Mohatnmedsn, and the Chinese an niversaries, occur at different times. We have in .the United States-'a sufii- cient number of the first two and ot the last named celebrations brought prom- inently under our notice; and, speak- only, with an abundant supply of whis ing generally, these all make it a season key, visit the homes of their triendsj, as ot rejoicing and social reunion. j soon alter midnight as may be, to wish The Jewish New Year, however, is attended by more strictly religious cere- monies, ot longer tturation than those of other sects, and includes on some days a partial cessation of business. With the Israelites, visits of congratula tion and compliment are secondary to the religious observances.. It is unne cessary to comment upon the usual man ner in which the new year is celebrated by the generality ot the American peo ple. .The Chinese, who arc so numerous in the State of California, and whose noisy demonstrations involve so heavy an expenditure ot gunpowder, are reputed to consider it an absolute necessitv to pay all indebtedness on this occasion, and those who are positively unable to discharge their liabilities shall be set free froni them. This is the theory, but it would appear that association with outside barbarians has greatfy tended to modify it in practice when abroad. in their own native lauu the rule is carried out more rigidly, but such is T:he disgrace attendant upon New Year insolvency that suicides among the im pecunious at that time are said to be yrcqucnt, a species ot .high- mindedneKs that but ill accords with our generally received notions of Chinese ethics. Among the English the festivities, ot New Year's eve and day are of a very ancient date. In the feudal times the head of the houte presidc.d at these merry-makings oyer a huge bowl of spiced ale are somewhat strangely named " lamb's wool." Having first drunk to the health of those assembled, he passed it around to the others. As each took the bowl to drink he pronounced the Saxon word "Wass hael," meaning your health, and from this sprung the name "wassail bowl." Numerous songs were sung, one of which, of Gloucestershire uiigiu, uuuiaiua mi; xuiiovviu vcise ; "Wassail, wassail, over the town, Our bread Is white, our ale is brown ; Our bowl is made of the maple tree We be good fellows al!, I drink to thee. . Come butler, and bring-, us a bowl of the best, I hope your soul in heaven may rest: But if you do bring us a bowl of the small. Then down shall fall butler, bowl and all." The poor people carried round on the last day ot the year a bowl ornamented with ribbons, and begged for the wherewithal to get it failed, so that they, toov might enjoy the was- sail. - I At the monasteries, then so numerous in England, the abbot stood, behind an en'ormous wassail bowl, which 'was called, in .their ecclesiastical, language, "Pjoculum.Caritatis," arid, having drunk to.U, the others drank in regular suc- cessipn, the one to the other, until the wassail had gone the round or, the tables A relic of this custom is still retained by the corporation of the city of Lon don. A double-handled flagon of spiced wine is placed before the lady mayoress if she be present, or, in her absence, before the presiding orhcer, and she or he,.standing up and holding the flagon m both hands, drinks to the health of the company, as' called out by the toast master. He then passes it to the person on his left hand, who, also standing, drinks to his Ielt hand neigh bor and io on in turn, until all have par taken. The ceremony is known as that of the "Loving Cup." The tinging out ot the old year and ringing in ol the new has, aciang some of the Methodists, giving place to sing ing in iHe New Year, and in Yorkshire, E ngbind, is known as the "Watch -igut Service." The . congregation Nisnt Service." The . congregation havirg assembled, and the usual ser- vices having been performed so as to terminate shortly before midnight, a psalm is sung, alter which perfect si- fence is maintained, each person being, or supposed to be, engaged ic - silent prayer until tne nour oi tweve striKes. ..... : " T i ivttiie nrst scroKe ui me cioctv an joiu iri ths Wesleyan hymn J " Cora e, let us anew Our journey pursue, Ltoll -ound With the year,'-' ; etc., etc '": ' ' -' 5 The utroduction of religious services in connection with the advent of thl new; Year would appear to , be -again gaining2fjund " improving the. occa sion," 3 itjs termed by some, by urg ing onl all resolution to amend their ways rand toreflect on the past : "He tltat goocl think'eth good may do, And Gpd will aelp him thereunto ; For never yet vas good work wrought ' Without beginilng of good thought,"; Episcopal dergynien, of some of the districts where other denominations ate gaining groun,have adopted a "Watch Night Service-probably from motives of policy, but tie movement is not gen eral with that body in England most of the clergy oflhe Established Church being opposed to it on the ground that the status of the Church demands that it should be the inaugurator of any ad, ditional observances, not the follower of such as in ay be introduced by -other sects. The celebration of New -Year's eve and day is much more marked in Scot land than in England, and its greater prominence may be in some sort at- tributed to there being no Christmas festival permissible by the Calvinistic reqime. In this connection it mav be , i observed that, to the same cause, oper- atin: upon the Puritan settlers of New England, may be traced the more nota ble celebration of the day in America. Till within a very few years the drinking from the wassail bowl, at the passing away of the old year, pre vailed in Scotland. In that country, as in some others which shall be nameless, excesses are too much the order of the day ; and, so general is tho custom of indulging freely, on the plea that it comes but once a year, that, by mid-day, persons of standing and. position even, may not unlrequently be seen in the streets of the larger cities, whose uncer tain gait betrays the depth ot their po - tations. Nor are these cases entirely confined to the stronger sex. The police have instructions, it is presumed, to be conveniently blind,so long as the peace is preserved, so that few arrests for intoxication are made. ' The custom of "first-footin"" is gen- erally prevalent in the "Land o' Cakes." iParties, generally consisting ot men them the compliments of the season; and the person who first enters a house for that purpose is denominated "first-iboU' The k toast most in voirue is. "A gude New Year to ye,x and mouy may ye see." Forty years agq a rule ob tained in some sort, that all ladies found out of doors after 12 o'clock were liable to pay the forfeit of a kiss. As manv parties were given on New Year's eve, of course numerous of the fair sex were eut after that hour, and none would venture to take their departure except in carriages, and even these were stopped frequently by parties ot young' men, and the m mates compelled to submit to the mevi- table New-Year salute. As the melan- cholly prince says, "It is a custom more honored in the breach than in.theobser ance but young men of that day were of a different opinion. The writer re members being one of a party which stopped the carriage of Sir Alexander Keith, of Kavelstone. As there were four horses, and as the postiljons drove very 1 rapidly, the leat was not accom- plislied without considerable risk, two of the undergraduates being thrown beneath the. horses' feet. The carriage was , stopoed, however, and the old gentleman acknowledged tiie capture, and counselled the thee ladies within to make no fuss about it, but quietly resign themselves to their fate. In this case most of the young gentlemen were personally acquainted with the baronet's family; This habit admitted, however, of much abuse, and was the occasion of msny serious broils, so that people began to set ther faces against the cus tom, and it has, consequently, of late years fallen into disuse.-Cordoji Green laio in Appleton'a Journal, W.

"Tis better to be born lucky than rich" said some one, whose name we do not now recollect, neither do, we l care, so long as we have enjoyed the privilege of the :aying. After some rascal purloined from our coop our Christmas turkey, we got mad and leu back on our relations in Peters burg, where more than one turkey went the way of all (turkey) ilesh. Having made .this much, on our return home we felt able to invest in a turkey for a New YearM dinner, and accordingly transfered from Paul Lincke's stall in the market, a fifteen pound gobler to our coop at home. Tuesday night, while all m the house was still, likewise the turkey in the coop; probably while we were dreaming ot the second choice ot our New Year's dish, (we are a married man,) some rascal, without the fear of our dog Jack before his eye3, invaded the premises and stole thereirom our New Year's turkey. Sadly we gazed upon the vacant roost the next morn ing, and with a heavy heart came to our office where we recited our misfor tune to a few condoling friends. The large-hearted Dr. Blacknall of the Yar borough House was one of the number; brushing wa tear from his eye as we ended our sad tale, hes hurriedly left the office and i,n a few minutes returned with a dressed gobler that weighed just one and a quarter pounds more than the one we lost, adding a few remarks that we did not hear, (after wc got our handon the turkey) some thing about poor local Editors, happy new year, &c. Wc got the turkey will eat him to day, smile and think of the big-hearted doctor. Personal ' Maj. li. W. York, of Chatham,, is in the city, stopping at the Yarboro. ( Gcn.. T. L. Clingman and N. Y.
