NEW YEARS OF
OF LONG AGO
i'nc, sole record of flie observance
of the New Year by the pilgrims
In the new world, named New
England, was most prosaic, most brief
"We weut to work betimes," eaid Alice
Morse Earle, the famous Investigator
of old time American customs. Many
of the good Puritan ministers thought
the celebrntlou or even notice of the
day lu any way savored of Improper
and unchrlstlau reverence for the
heathen god Janus. Yet they came
from a land where New Year v.-as sec.
ond In Importance and In domestic ob- 1
servance only to Christmas. Through
out every EugUsh county New Y’ear’s
eve was always celebrated, ’.n many
it was called by the pretty name of
Singing E'en, from the custom which
obtained of singing the last of the
Christmas carols at that time.
In Scotland the last day of the year
was called by the uglier name of Hog
munay, a name of unknown and In
explicable derivation, and In Scotland
it was regarded as the most popular
of all the "daft days." ns the Christinas
holidays were termed. Scotch chil
dren of the |«w>rer class lu small towns
still ask on that day from door to door
at the houses of wealthier families for
a dole of oat bread, calling out ‘’Hog
manay" or some of the local rimes
which are given In Chambers' ‘‘Popu
lar Rimes of Scotland,” such as:
Hogomanay.
Trollolay,
Give us of your white bread
And none of your gray!
They also ask for cheese, which they
call "nog money," and Brand's ‘‘Popu
lar Antiquities” gives this begging
rime used by Scotch children:
Get up, gude wife, and blnno swelr
Deal cakes and cheese while ye are here,
for the time will come when ye'll be dead
And neither need your cheese nor bread.
As the children on these forays are
swathed In great sheets formed Into a
deep hug or pouch to carry the oat
cuke. they form quite a mumming and
fantastic appearance.
