THE NEW YEAR.
Wnnie a thing has existed for centur-
ies before us, and may exist for 'center -
les after us, we so frequently take it as
we do the rain and sunshine, the air,
the winds, the coming of the grass, the
falling of the leaves, that we never
pause to question it ; and in this light
there are doubtless innumerable people,
who regard the circumstances that the
year begins with the iirst day of Janu-
ary as something altogether outside of
, human control, as belonging to sidereal
forces, and established by nature her-
self, partaking of the immutable fixity
-if one may use Such a word of the
most changeable and fluent things in
the universe of the laws governing the
movements of the tides and the quar-
ters of the moon.
But the beginning of the year has
really been a very movable feast since
its earliest establishment, and one en-
tirely in the hands of our raCe, quite
apart from stellar influences. Among
the old Egyptians and Syrians, and all
those which we are in the habit of con-
sidering now their kindred peoples, the
year began at the autumnal equinox ;
that is, in the third week of September;
and even the Jews began their civil
year the, although choosing the tinse
of the vernal equinox, the 22nd of
March, for the opening of their religi-
ous year. The Greeks for many cen-
turies preferred an entirely different
day for the opening of their year, and
chose that of the winter solstice, in the
third week of December and later, that
is, during the last four centuries before
Christ, they began it tout an contraire
at .the summer solstice, that is the third
week of June. The Romans, again
from the time of Numa and his Egeria
• dated their New Year at the winter sol-
stice ; just as the ancient northern na-
tions did ; and it was Julius Cesar who
made the sun and the inoou begin their
course on the first of January.
Until the time of Peter the Great the
Russians' New Year's day was on the
lst of September ,• and the Mohamme
dans have never had any fixed New
Year's day at all, but let it depend up-
on the phases of the moon. In spite of
Julius Cmsar, moreover, there have
been in Europe a number of NewYear s
days other than the first of January.
As lately as 1745 various states kept it
ea. the 25th of March, The Meroving-
--iiii-Ohasty of France held that the
year began on the 1st of March, the
Carlovingians on Christmas day, and
the Capets at Easter ; in the Revolu-
tion recourse was had once more to the
autumnal equinox ; and at about the
-• sixth year of the present century the
Gregorian calendar was restored in
. France, which began the year on the
ist of January. °Thus it will be seen
that there cannot be any great amount
of reverence felt for a day of such fickle
, disposition ; and if we keep it at all, it
is out of a curious respect for the hoari-
ness of old Chronos, a trembliug but
delighted sence of an extension of sen-
tence into another year.
E-151-T-ORIAL NOIES.
TRE following extract is taken from
asprivate letter written by a Yankee to
a gentleman in 'Csborne. township and
gives testimony to the feeling •of some
Yankees with regards annexation ; antl
it is not by any means flattering to
Uncle Sam's system of government :
"Times are very dull since the election,
the bottom seems to be knocked out of
all business. There is considerable talk
of Canada being about to marry Uncle
Sam. ** idy opinion is that you are
better off as you are, better laws, more
protection to life and property, more
liberty, and freer in every respect. We
Americans are ridden over by the bank-
er and manufacturer, each shod with
iron boots and well spiked at that. The
late election shows that tht seople el-
ected Cleveland by a majority of 126,
502, yet we can't get him there because
he cannot be used by the Wall street
brokers, etc.; to their advantage.
Should you nnite with the ,American
Republic, it would not be long before
you would tire and wish for a divorce."
It would seem that the author of the
above, who is actually an American citi-
zen and has been for a great many
years, does not entertain a very high
opinion of his country.

A Plea, for Independence.
Srrlea. NO. 2.
To the Raitor of the ,Iketer These ,
Dada Sur -Let ise consider for a
inornenb Imperial Federation. Of pal the
eneechee I have beard or reed on this
subject, no one has yet gone. beyond a
few generalitiee. It is a good subject to
ina,ko a speech 90. A large field for 'irna-
gipation ta run rion, A great opportunity
for patriotlim and describing the vastnese
and the glory of the British empire.' That
is aboat as far as the ()raters ever get.
Salien asked to dome down to desorthe
some feasible scheme or givedetaile they
always wilt. Nothing shows the ' utter
impracticability of the thing (nor° than
this. Were it a feasible thing, the de-
taile would sagest themselves. Not
being feasible no details eau be suggested,
that cannot be atitiOlZed as an absurdity.
Looking at it as a Canadian, what bene-
fit can Canada derive from any soheme of
Imperial' Federation, either physically,
religiously, morally, financially or other-
wise? If Canada goes in, why not Ane -
trails., India, South Africa, dsc., dse.
Could a working, partials -01A be made
floin representatives of all those places?
What subjects could be dealt with? No
one law that could be passed meld be
suitable for all the conditionand circum-
stances of the great empire. Would it be
wise to pass laws to have effect in only
one portion of the empire in such a varied
assembly? What would men from India
know of the wants of Canada or Australia
or vice versa? Could not more suitable
laws be framed on each spot by local men?
Then whist system or principle of repre-
sentation could be adopted? Representa.
tion by populatiou would not do, because
India would outvote the rest of the em-
pire. And then would come the cern-
plaint: Why should not a million people
in India have as much to say in the gov-
ernment as a million people in Canada?
Could Canada be consistently admitted
to Imperial councils while India or Af
rica was refused admission. .A hadd aud
fast number of representatives would be
unpopular, because the conditions, popu.
lotion' relative importance of each portion
wouldbe continuallY changing. There
would be no practicable subjects to deal
with. Then could any system of com
mercial communication be inaugurated
suited to all the conditions of each por-
tion? If free trade were adopted through-
out the empire, what would be done with
the rest of the world ? Or how would
Canada for instance raise a revenue?
Than as to expense.. Would Canada be
satisfied to be taxed to carry on a war in
Upper Pgvpt or at Suakim or in Find°.
sten? Would New Zealand like to pay
part of the expense of quieting a rebellion
at the foot of the Rockies? And if Cana-
dapadd no taxes towards the war or other
measure, what right to have a say about
the matter? Should taxation be accord-
ing to population? Representation could
not be by population or else India, not
Britain, would be master. Taxation
without representation, was the rock on
which the American bark parted. company
from the British ship. One experience of
that kind is enough in the history of one
nation. Then what plan of taxation
could be devised? If Canada paid more
per capita than India, would not Canada
complain? What possible subject could
be legislated ou in such a parliament or
assembly, without a cry of home rule,
being raised as is done in Ireland to -day?
Every one knows that in Canada we are
over -governed. The efforts should be to
simplify and cheapen government. Would.
that be done by any possible scheme of
Imperial Federation? Then how could
representatives be selectecl but by popular
election? Of popular election and party
strife we have more than euough already.
Then how could a cabinet be formed?
Would each colony have a minister, or
have ministers as per population? What
subjects would auch ministers deal with
and how much power over Federal parlia-
ment?
We do not agree with all Hon E. Blake
says or preaches, but we think he said
a good thing when he said. that "Imperial
Federation could be nothing more than a
splendid dream.' It is a subject tor,dream,
speculate and grow ,eloquent over. There
is a great deal of sentiment in it. It is
captivating at a glance ; but analyzed in
cool reason it vanishes as a mist. It is
and always will remain an impracticable
dream. Whichever way you turn in.sur-
mountable difficulties present themselves.
No possible, workable scheme of Imperial
Federation, has ever been reduced to
paper, nor do I think ever will be. When
some one answers cogently, sensibly and
practicably the.numerous queries I have
here asked, I may become an Imperial
Federationist„ Such answers I never ex-
pect to receive. But even then it would
be necessary to make an enthusiastic
Federationist out of a Canadian, to show
'dome future benefit to Canada os. at
least to the empire as a whole. No
possible benefit can be a.ccomplished. with
Imperial Federation that cannot as well
be accomplished without it.
Lack of utility and insurmountable ob-
stacles of detail will forever render Im-
perial Federation a chimera,
Of the other fads of the day, Commer-
cial TJnion, Unrestricted Reciprocity, &c.,
dm., I do not think it necessary to :speak,
es they are being ably discussed by the
press and on the platform No assignable
cause for all -this discussion Can be dis-
eovered to my mind. However subtle
the cause the public mind is active just
now. And that while activity exists it is
a good time to point out the absurdities
of more fads and chimeras and direct
public attention to something practical,
possible and even probable.
Following out thie idea I will next
thr,e direct your attention to the subject
of Canadian Independence
Yours truly,

cellent dialogues, dzo• were rendered, The
reoitations by Mrs i W. Grant and Mr.
McRae were well received and the Kinder-
garten song by six little girls especially
deserving praise, in fact the entertainment
was splendid all through and reflects groat

We are sorry to again bring to notice the
misconduct of young men and boys on our

that whenever there is a public gathering

notice this as well as oarselves; then why
do they not do their duty. We ask why?
-Another on the list of swindled farmers.

exhibited some sleight of hand work among
other things putting money in a box and
betting as to were it was. The farmer
thought he saw the trick and was prepar-
ed to bet 020, that he knew where the po
was which the fine gent had put into the
box. The farmer wag given the box and
upon opening it found that he had been
swindled. He of course had to be satisfied
and will we think in the future not play
with a man on his own game. He tried to
keep the matter quiet and has of "'course
been quite successful iu doing so. .-Daring

Xmas festival for the Sunday School was
held as usual in the church on Xmas eve.
and was as heretofore a great success.
The church was fairly packed and standing
room was scarce. This year the enperin-

new, and instead of tho usual Xmas tree
had a large boat erected before the altar
and had it sett with masts and sails which
were heavilyiloalen with all sorts of Xmas
presents for both old and young. The
recitations and dialoughes were exception-
ally good and the singing by the large
chorus was excellent. The TCindergarten
song was rendered again by special r equest
and the little girls did admirably. After
the exercises the children were each pre-
sented with a large package of sqeets and
all felt that Xmas was indeed Sa happy
