_ HAIL 1872.
To-day Wee stand on the threshold of the
newborn year—a pivotal point on which
revolve many illusory dreams and pledges
of reform. The old year has been unusually
historic, and the grand army of humanity
still goes “marching on." Here and there,
and ever and anon, we drOp out of line, but
the. ranks are instantly re—suppiied, our
. places filled, audwc are “so soon forgotten."
So has it ever been through all the centuries,
and so will it continueio the end of time.
If we shall all do our full measure of “good
in the world,” help to relieve the sum of
the world’s misery, give the divinely cu-
joined “cup of cold water,” or even a kind
word of encouragement to any faltering
brother, we shall have fulfilled our mission
and left the worldbeiter by our having lived
in it. This, after all, is .the true end and aim
ofliving; and dying, in full recognition of
~ God’s omnipotcnt goodness, it will be well
with us in the unfathomed hereafter.
To-day our paper enters upon the seventy-
aecond year of its existence ! What marvel-
lous changes these years have wrought .
Shall the next set enty-t wo years notc ever. is
.as wonderful it Who of us now in adult
life will-then be alive to note? Probably
not one!

THE ACCURATE Box—There was a young
man once in the office of a Western rail~
way superintendent. He was occupying a
position that four hundred boys in- that city
would have wished to get. It was honora-
ble and “it paid well,” besides being in the
line of promotion. How did he get it? Not
by having a rich father, i..:' he was the son
of a laborer. The secret was his beautiful
accuracy. 'He began as an errand-boy, and
did his work accurately. His leisure time
he used in perfecting his writing and arith-
metic. After a while he learned, to tele-
graph. At each siep’ his employer com-
mended his accuracy, and relied on what
he did because he was just right.”
And it is thus with every occupation.
.The accurate boy is the favored one. Those
who employ men do not wish to be on the
constant lookout, as though they were
rogues or fools. If a carpenter must stand
at his journeyman’s elbow to be sure that
tpriues, handsome books, were given in
hurting one man so that he was taken into -

sully. Upon entering the hall, two great
Christmas trees greeted the visiou,toweriug
from Kim stage to the high ceiling, decked
with many colored lanterns, and fruited
with innumerable presents, presenting a
beautiful sight, and giving promise of good
cheer to the merry children assembled.
After a. slim t address to the scholars by their
ever-genial friend, Rev. S. H. S. Bisacll, rc-
fresbments were passed, and all present wr re
invited to partake. After a short rccessfiltc
prizes awarded by the Superintendent, E. C.
Bissc.l, Esq, were distributed. Forty-five s
scholars who had been in attendance forty-
niuc Sundays faring the year,——a large in.—
creasu over the previous year. Sevegal
of the children had been present every Sun-
day. A large number of other prizes was
then. distributed, after which the presents
from the “Big Trees” were divided among
the scholars by the teachers, Misses Ray-
mond and Carter, and Mrs. Henry Selleck,
three faithful and devoted teachers, were re-
cipients of elegant ~ illustrated books.
During the evening a quartette, composed
of Mrs. Wilson, Miss Anna Wilcox and
Messrs. Bisscll and Fairbanks, sang “The
Christmas Bells” in such a manner that the
audience madea prolonged noise about it
and forced them to sing it over again,which
they did to the general satisfaction. Mn,
Gibson presided, at .the piano,—a new in-
strum'ent just received and designed for use
in the Lecture Room of the church. Sing-
ing by the children was 'alsoa pleasing
feature of the entertainment. All spectators
who felt interested enough to attend, were
cheerfully welcomed, and we were specially
pleased to see other congrcgations largely
represented. The school is in a flourishing
condition, and the reports read at the Sun-
day Souool. Concert, 1 :51 Sunday evening,
were peculiarly gratifying.
At St. Paul‘s church the entire afternoon
of last Tuesday was devoted to the Sunday
School Festival. As usual, at large number
of presents we're given to the scholars,and all
enjoyed the “Merry Christmas” gathering.
The books specially selected by the Rector,
Rev. Dr.§W. C. Mead, for some reason could
not be obtained in season for this Festival,
but will be distributed at some future time.
Learning this fact, Chas. T. Leonard, Esq.,
very generously procured books for all and
presented them on, this occasion. Several
teachers were remembered by their pupils,
receiving presents which they will highly
prize. .‘

tatives of the house of Lockwood & Co.,
passed up the road to attend the wedding.
Precisely at 12:30 the brothers and sisters of
the bride entered the church, and were es-
corted to the chancel by' the ushers. Mrs.
Smith and, the groom then entered, followed
by Mr. Smith and the bride. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. Mr. Jarvis, assisted
by Rev. Mr. Russell. On the return to the
.bride’s home, after the cordial salutaiions of
‘all, the company partook of refreshments
prepared by C. B., D’Artois. While 'the
bride and groom were making preparations
for their bridal tour, the company had
leisure, and inspected the many beautiful
and costly presents, consisting in partof the
following named articles i—Sil ver Forks and

Two interesting facts Of intemaiional im-
portance are noted. One is that on Thanks:
giving Day the Grand Duke Alexis ate roast
turkey and made his firist acquaintance
with pumpkin pic at the table of William
H. Aspinwall. If in fixture any trouble
shall arise between Russia ahd America, it
may be avoided if the duke remembers that
pumpkin pie. The other is that the empe-

ihat he drives out in an American carriage-

anecdotes, drinks champagne, and wears

The Gulf Stream does not influence
Climute.
The simple truth of the matter is, the
Gulf Stream is made use of to account" for
whatever phenomena of our watery world
‘-and aerial space cannot be accounted for
otherwise—a circumstance due partly to a
lack of observations, ' which is natural
enough since scientific exploration is yet in
its infancy, and partly to a lamentable
poverty 0 invention, which is not usually
the fault of theorists.
Among these questions in which the Gulf
Stréam is held accountable, is the climate of
the North Atlantic region. Now we claim
that there are no facts to show that the Gulf
Stream has any influence upon the climate
of the North Atlauti
“watcrsare'to {rose
North Atlantic basin as the insignificant riv-
ulet running through a farm is to the farm
itself, and its efl‘ect upon the temperature
not greater; and as for imagining, as Apo]-
lonia in “Lothair” is made to do, that a
change in the direction of the Gulf Stream
would change the character of mankind, it
is the most arrant nonsense ever uttered—-
even by a Prime Minister.
We have repeatedly heard and seen it
written,that the Gulf Stream has an influ-
ence upon the c’imate of Newport, and that
to this cause we must attribute the soft and
delicious climalle of that most lovely ‘ of all
lovely'wateriug laces. Now the nearest
point of the Glif tream to Newport is 155
miles, the pregalent winds are westerly, and
how temperaiure is, in sailor phrase to beat
to windward all that distance, we are quite
at a loss to ace. It is 45 miles nearer Nau-
tucket thanlt is to Newport, and 35 miles

Odd Fellow brothers were 'tiring from
their hall in the upper part the Gazette
ofl'lcers. An advance guardpu coming out
espied on the walk in front .our office en-
trance, a huge goal “as his its the steeds
of night." It was ‘a purely natural impulse
to put after his goatship and seize him, and
under pretense that the all, :11 was the one

desks and chai in their iniiiaiiou, fairly
quailed at the prospect of these open hos-

essayed,withlt view of getting the door
open at the animal’s rear. But this igno-
miuiously failed, as he would swing his
horned battering piece around as rapidly as

WHYA CLERGYMAN DYED His Ham-—
A clergyman in Massachusetts, who has
seen his three-score and ion, was compli-
mented on his hale and youthful looks ’the
other day. Smiling, he touched his hand-
some brown hair, and replied: “You know
they have a wa ofhelping old men a little
these days." “ hati” said his friend, “have
you been coloring your hair ?” “Yes,” re-
plied he, “I have been doing what I once
thought nothing would induce me to do. I
have been turning my gray hair brown, and
I will tell you how I.was brought to it. Af-
ter leaving my position as —, I proposed
tolgo back into the ministry and become a
parish minister. Accordingly as I had
opportunity, I preached to some few desti-
tute churches, and was gratified to hear, at
the conclusion of my services, that the peo-
blc were well pleased with my preaching,
and but for my gray hair would gladly have
me for a pastor; but they could not think of‘
so old a man. Well, while I was going
through this experience, an old friend,
suggested to me to color my hair, and thus
remove from the eyes of the people ‘the re-
proach of being an old man: And I con-
sented, finally, to make this 'experiment.
And what do you think? The very first time
that I preached with brown hair upon my
head I was greeted with a call to settle in
the ministry, and have ever since been the
happy pastor of a united and apparently
perfectly satisfied people. So much for ihe
color of oue’s hair—so much in proof that
looks are something after all, notwithstand-
ing the old proverb that looks are nothing
and behavior is all. ‘ ‘

ADvANTICEs or Annamaria—How To
MAKE TRADE ACTIVE—The Journal of
Commerce, (financial article,) after dwelling
upon the unsatisfactory condition of city
trade, ‘as at present existing, observes:
People 'who sit nervously in counting—
houses or behind their goods, waiting for
customers to take them by storm, and mak-
ing no effort to let the world know the bar-
gains they have to offer, will find the season
very uupropitious. Many of those who
have spent large sums in hiring drummers,
and paying for other well-known appliances
of trade, have effected large sales but swal-
lowed up too large a share of the receipts in
such enormous attendant expenses. The
best remuneration has been found by those.
who have returned to more legitimate Old-
fashioned methods of pushing their business.

told the gentleman of the house. It didn’t

SHORT‘SERMONS. We protest against any
arbitrary rule requiring a uniform brevity of
sermons. There are some subjects on
which all that need be said,on the ooeasion,
may be said in half an hour, or less time.
But there are others of which discussion at
that length would be but a mockery. Be-
sides, the pulpit has its rights in this matter
as fully as other professions. Who thinks
of impOsing such limitations on statesmen
or lawyers ‘2 The senator will sometimes
occupy a day in the discussion of matters
of state.~ The lawyer will plead for hours,
as often against as for the ends of justice, and
no one attempts to restrict him. The pulpit
has higher aims and interests to subserve
than any profession man can fill. It has the
grandest themes. And he who fills _it should
give himself up to these rather than to
ihOughts of what may please fastidious

Its alleged efi‘ect upon this climate of the
British Isles, and on Norway, Portugal and
Spain is as remote from the truth as its al-
leged effect upon the climate of Newport.
In relation to this matter Dr. Stork' makes
the following observations in referring to
his experiments upon the temperatures of
the air and sea about the islands and coasts
of Scotland.’ “This 'whoie investigation,"
says Dr.'Siork, “leads .to the conclusion—
iudeed, stems to me to prove—that the cli-
mate of Britain is in no respect influenced
by the heated waters of the Gulf Stream,
which do not approach our . islands within
thousands of miles. It also confirms the
couclusiouihat the mildness of the winter
in Britain is chiefly due to the S. W. or anti-
trade winds, which are the prevalent aerial
currents in this latitude during winter ;”
and this conclusion is confirmed by the ob-
servations ofProfessor James Glaisher, F. R.
S., chief of the meteorological department
of the Greenwich observatory.
The accord of temperature of sea and air
is due, as we shall have occasion to show, to
the fact that air gives heat to the Water, and
in no case receives heat from the water.
The Gulf Stream does not reach Britain:
but even where it does reach, and is best
known and most frequently traversed, its
waters have no appreciable effect upon the
atmosphere even in passing over it. And
this is in obedience to a general law of na-
ture which maybe thus briefly stated; air
when unconfined receives, no perceptible ac-
cession of heat from water.
Applying this to the air above and the wa-
ters beneath throughout the globe, we can-
truly say that the air is the eucral giver
but is.i:ot a receiver of heat. t gives tem-
peratu’reshi h and low to all and everything
it touches. IVater speedily assumes the tem-
perature of the air above it. A warm wind
beats it, a cold wind freezes it; but on the
other hand, it must be Observed that cold
water does not chill the air nor does Warm
water heat it. The air which sets the water
of the sea in motion- throughout the globe
that grand circulating system 'whosc influ-
encesare so beneflcent. likewise imparts to
it the heat with which it sustains the life of
its inhabitants, or changing its‘ heat drives
them to seek more congenial quarters; all

Tobacco in Connecticut.
The annexed prohibitory law against
tobacco was adopted by the “general court”
of Connecticut, in 1664, and recently ex:
humed by a Hartford paper. At that time,
.we presume, the rich lands of the Connecti-
cut valley were not, as now, largely devoted
to raising the narcotic abomination :
Foreasmuch as it is observed, that many
abuses are crept in, and committed, by fre-
quent taking of tobacko :
It is ordered by the authority of this Courts,
That no person under the age of twenty-
ouc years, nor any other, that hath not
already accustomed himself to the use there-
of, shall take any tobacko, until hee hath
'brought a certificate under the hands of
some who are approved for knowledge and
skill in phisick, that it is usefule for him,
and allso, that bee hath received a lycense
from the courte, for the same. And for the
