N ew Year's Entertainments.
There was additional interest manifested
among callers (in New Year’s Day, and, al-
though sanctioned by the good old Knicker-
hooker custom, it was gratifying to ob-
serve the absence of wine on tables in al-
most all instances. As a consequence there
was little if any imbibing, absolutely no
curousing, and when the day and evening
closed, home of those unpleasant feelings,
entailed by a too free use of champagne,
were to be repented over. The day opened
gloriously, the air was mild, and a stillness.
which was entrancing prevailed Social
meetings, and they were not a few, were
heightened in tone by the freshness of every
thing without and within. In theSu res—
pects the day will be remembered as one of
rare interest, and, if it shall forcshadow the
make-up of the days to follow, the year
will prove to be indeed a happy one.
Our rumbles during the day, brought us
into the presence (if-many hosts and host-
esses, and we found many tables handsome—

silent tears fell, but the sprigs of acacia
