RELIBIOUS INTIMrBSTOE.
Tan Family and thk Sahieath School.—
These tiro Institutions are inseparably joined in
these days of special care for the young and rising
generation. Not to bo in sympathy with tho moral
and religions training of the young folks around us
is unfashionable, not to say morally reprehensible.
VTe cannot but rejoice at the' efforts which good
-people are making to purify and elevate those who
are to be our future statesmen and leaders. Wo
are res dy to look wllh favor upon any worthy means
for accomplishing this end, and with this view oall
attention to ft weekly paper published in ourolty,
which, for six years, has devotedjitaelf to this grand
objeet—the Snndmj-Siltoal Times. Its large circu
lation reaches every loyal State and Tenltory In
the Union, and its reputation as an organ or Ame
rican, Sunday-School interests gives It peculiar
claims. At its head is one of the loading eduoators
of this country, Professor John S, Hart, former
principal of the High School; and among its con
tributors are our worthy townsman, Jtev. Dr. New
top, and the Eev. Dr. Todd, of Pittsfield, Mass.,
both known as eminent essayists and preachers to
the young. 1 Parents and teachers can 111 afford to
do without a journal of such pretensions.
THE CITY*
The Old and the New Tear.
Tc-night we will ise called upon to say farewell to
an old acquaintance. When the sunbeams glitter
upon the ice to-morrow, Time will hare gathered in
another harvest, and an old friend, hoar with age,
and bending beneath the burden of events, will
have departed this life, In the three hundred and
sUlr-rixth day of his age. Let ns weop for him, for
he has been faithful and kind. We owe a tribute to
his memory, doming upon us in the midst of sor
row and tribulation, when the bark which bears our
hopes, strong .in timber and sail, and manned by
nature’s nobility, as she is, was stricken by the tem
pest, and strained and creaked with direful throes
as she fled shuddering before Its fury, the old year
leaves the gallant vessel with her timbers sound and
whole, her crew greeting the fast-rising horizon with
Joy and exultation, her prow cleaving the angry
billows With pride, and all her canvas spread joy
ously to the gale which is bearing her swiftly for
ward to a haven of safety and peace. Should wo
not feel grateful to this old friend, and should we
not mourn for him that he is going from us 1
It Is very sad thus to part, and he who feels the
occasion in its full solemnity cannot but sigh with
Shelley ’
* 1 Orphan boor», the year la dead,
Come and sifh, came and weep!”
T!ie thought that this Is the last day on whiok wo
may be with the old year naturally Inspires us with
emotions of a varied oast. As we look rorward with
hrlght anticipations to the pleasures his sucoeasor
may he carrying In some of the three hundred ano
slaty.Eve apartments of his spacious pockets, we
may feel joyful at the prospect, uncertain though It
fce. As, on the other hand, we think of what Ills
he may have bottled up In vials which It were mercy
In him to have labelled “ poison” ere he presents
them for our draining we are filled with a vague,
Indefinite fear. On the whole, then, at parting
Rom a certainty to greet a thing of doubt, It is only
natural If we are filled with an undefined sadness at
the thought that
“As an earthquake recks a corpse,
In its coffin In the clay,
go white Winter, that rough nurse.
Books the death-cold year to-day.' ’
Were the parting sudden and sharp we would feel
more reverent than we do while the old year takes
his leave as gradually and sometimes as gently as
the dying out of a summer wind. Not only is the
oocasfcn a gad, bat a solemn one. He who is dying
is a friend, and we are mournful; he who Is dying Is
a giant, and we are awe-strloken.
. By mighty and skilful engines, man may direct
the torrent and the waterfall, reap a harvest of
benefits Rom the desolating whirlwind, and chain
the lightning to his service, but all Ms powers avail
him nothing to recall a year that is past—a moment
that is lost; When once gone it Is encountered
never, to he seen except by the retrospective glance of
memory In the mirror of departed Time. Thus, every
moment, sllpt by Is a glance toward the grave, and
everylyoar dead is astep to dissolution. It Is well
to think these solemn thoughts occasionally, lest we
foxget that Time is wearing on apace, and that for
us all he has one goal—the grave. It Is well to re
member, too, that he does not stop to apprise us of
departed moments, and that even a year dies un
wept by Nature, and slowly,
“ Bull qniitlng (round by usperceived decay.
He steals himself from life and melts away. ”
If, however, we Hallow the 3 ear to approach his
death In silence and unmourned, we do not suffer
Ms parting moments to slide away unnoticed. In
our churches we have those solemn “ watch meet
ings,” where the congregation gather like relatives
around a death-bed to mourn for the old, and wel
come the new year that <‘walteth at the door.”
But It 1b not only in the church that the simultane
ous death and birth of years are signalized; they
are psalmed In the music of powder. As the stroke
of midnight trembles on the air, amid mingled dia
pasons of music and thunder, the year, decrepit and
bent, deep furrows In his face, Ms eyes sunken, and
Ms hair hoary, olad in a garment of snow, with al
tering footstep and staff in hand, will move slowly
Into eternity.
The regrets which Ms death causes will not have
died away before Ms successor Is merrily welcomed.
The various festivities with which the advent
of a new year has from time to time been cele
brated Is a good illustration of the happy tendency
of the mind to hope, while there may be no reason
to believe that a new year would be more bountiful
of happiness than the old, when Indeed there has
been cause to believe that the newcomer is to bring
misfortune, and pain, and Buffering, yet has New
Tear's day been always a season of rejoicing.
It was an occasion of especial festivity to the Ho
mans, who kept It sacred to Janus, their god ol war
It was their custom to walk abroad In the streets
upon that day for the special purpose of exchanging
salutations with their friends, to whom they gave pro.
sents of honey-cakes, dates nicely covered with gilt
and copper coins, hearing upon one siae the head of
Janus, and upon the other a representation of a
ship.
The Hebrews have for ages eelebrated New Year's
day as a festival, bat the beginning of the year,
according to their calendar, does not fall upon the
Ist of January, Even the Droids observed the day
by giving presents, which were peculiar to their sin
gular, superstitious religion. They hewed branches
of the misletoe with unusual ceremonies from its
guardian oak.
In merry old England, always amongthe foremost
In festivities, the day has been long observed. The
Saxons kept it as a period of jollity and feasting.
They, too, gave additional zest to their enjoyment
of the day by bestowing presents.
Henry 111,, of England, not eontent with the gifts
which his snbjeots voluntarily gave him, rendered
himself obnoxious by extorting more.
And even Elizabeth, that “old Queen Bess,”
whom we alternately admire for her greatness and
dislike ior her weaknesses, did not disdain to owe
all her wardrobe to the love, fear, or interest of her
subjects, who presented heron each New Tear’s day
with gorgeous apparel sufficient for the yearly wear
of a queen even of her pride and grandeur.
Under the Tudors and Stuarts the eußtom of be
stowing new year’s gifts, before confined to the “ up
per tendon” of those days,began to be popular
among all classes, but it has now grown into disuse.
Almost the only ceremony now observed in Eng
land is the ringing in of the new year from the bel
fries ef churches. Christmas is now the principal
festivity in the home of our ancestors, as it la with
us.
Many old customs, founded upon forgotten super
stitions and ceremonies, give observance to the day
in Germany.
In Paris, and other cities in France, enormous
sums are expended upon bon-bons and other pre
sents of a trifling and evanescent nature.
The Wow York oustom of making calls upon Now
Year’s day is almost as old as the city Itself. It
originated there with the Dutch settlers of the pro
vince. Perhaps it might he traced by the curious
hletorlan back to the old Boman oustom, which we
have mentioned, of meeting in the Btreets for salu
tations.
These are some of the customs with which Wow
Year’s day has been, and still Is, eelebrated
throughout the world.
MIUTARY.
BECR'DITINO FOB THE NEXT DBAFT.
Since the olty has ceased tegive a bounty to vo
lunteers the enlistments havebeen so few that with
perfect truth we may say there have been compara
tive none at all. Three or four per day Is the ave
rage, and at this rate It would require nearly four
years to fill our quota—a period the Government is
not likely to allow ns in which to answer its oalls
for men. The neighboring cities, New York, Wil
mlngton, Trenten, and outers, are offering large
bounties,which are attracting large numbers of men
The rural counties surrounding us.are also pursuing
this system, even though the money comes from an
increased tax loan on farms, farming implements,
horses, carriages, etc. Of course, these volunteers,
who inmostcases have families which they naturally
desire to leave comfortable when they go to the field,
pass by Philadelphia, whose only claim to them is
that they are citizens, and become soldiers from New
York, or Jersey, or Montgomery county. Ooun
cllf > b £? B,e s> ** the reader has seen by the report
of its Thursday’s proceedings in yesterday’s issue,
has passed a bounty-appropriation bUh which will
prevent a continuance or the exodus. It will not
go Into effect until next week, however, and during
all the intervening time we may lose many valua
ble soldiers. The high figure mentioned will, per
haps, lead many to postpone their enlistment until
our recruiting offioes are ln operation. The draft
is set down for the 16th of February, leaving us a
month and a half to fill the quota of the city, which
is about 3,600 men. Our exact proportion is a little
more than 7,000, but the excess of enlistments over
our quota In our past efforts to avoid conscription
has reduced this large number nearly one-half.
When the ward committees again arouse them
selves to active effort, we see no dlffloulty in again
preserving the credit of the olty for unselfish and
untiring patriotism.
DEATHS OF SOLDIEBS.'
The deaths of Geo. A. Hilbert, Co. G, 108th Penn
sylvania, at the Pittsburg Hospital, and of Henry
'Williams, Co. H, lß7th, at the Islington Dane Hos

not enter on his duties ou Monday, as stated in The
Press yesterday, hut on the 23d of the month. This

DOMESTIC MARKETS.
Prices remain about aB usual. The supply of tur
keys to the Christmaß market rather exeeeded the
demand, though this was large, and consequently a
considerable number of these fowl* remain oq the
hands of dealers and an held at a lower prloa than
last week. Purchasers should, however, be careful
In buying fowls, as the weather of this week has not
been very favorable to their preservation.

[Before Mr. Alderman Welding.!
BOBBED HIS EMPLOYER.
Francis M, Duron, an employee in the establish
ment of Mr. Fenistan, on Chestnut street, was ar
raigned yesterday afternoon on the charge of rob
bing Ms employer. He had been attached to the
establishment for two weeks, daring whiob time
small sums of money were missing. He was sus
pected. Yesterday marked notes were paid him by
a number of customers. These were missed from the
drawer, and found in Ms pockets. The evidence of
his guilt being so unexpectedly developed, he made
a full acknowledgment of the orlme, stating that he
thought bis peculations did net average more than
fifty cents per day. He was committed to answer.
[Before Mr. Aid. Holmes.!
SELLING LIQUOR TO MINORS.
Otto Goettkon was arraigned on Wednesday on
the charge of celling liquor Mi Sundays and to mi

accused was bound over to answer.
LARCENY OF A ROPE.
J. F, O’Daniels was arraigned yesterday on the
charge of the larceny of a rope, valued at $lB. It
Is alleged that he cut the rope Rom a canal boat,
thus leaving that craft to the mercy of the wind,
waves, and ice of that inland watercourse, known
as Frankford creek. As for the purloined article,
he cut it into small pieces and sold them to the
keeper of a junk shop. He was committed.

ANOTHER SOLDIER BOBBED.
Mlohael Kelly was arraigned yesterday on the
oharge of Mghway robbery. It Is alleged that he
knocked a soldier down, near the Chestnut Hill
Hospital, on Wednesday night, and robbed him of a
watch and some money. The accused was com
mitted to answer.
HOUSE OF CORRECTION WANTED.
A visit to the station-houses at a late hour on any
cold night would amply repay philanthropists for
the time thus expended. At snob times, in snob
places, the miserably clad, dirty, Inebriated speci
mens of humanity, of all colors, ages, and sexes, are
generally to be found huddled and shivering around
the furnaces, not Rom cold, but because of beastly
habits of drunkenness. Profane jests, occasional
howls, general grumbling, odd expressions, seem to
be the delight of such a party. In the morning
these miserable creatures-some shoeless, and all
thinly clod in tattered garments—are sent forth to
the world again to beg or to steal. It would proba
bly be very benefielallf the commissioners, or sup
posed commissioners, having the subject of a House
of Correction in charge, were to make a tour of the
police stations at the time Indicated. The colder or
more stormy the night, the better It would be li any
one should desire to become practically acquainted
with a subject that should excite true humanity.
A few visits would probably cause the commissioners
delegated for the purpose to progress with the build
ing of the House of Correction.
ROBBERY.
It was reported at the Central Station, yesterday,
that the dwelling of Mr. Peter Miller, near Twelfth
and Poplar streets, was robbed of the sum of $7OO,
taken from a bureau drawer In the seoond story.
An entrance was effected through a rear window.
FEJMCIAL ABB COMMERCIAL.
Slbcd the fcegltmiui of tie year 1884, speculation In
sold baa run rampant, and fchelocoasioas on which a
quiet market baa prevailed in the SmUts. cities bare
been * 1 few and far between. * * It was only on tbe ere
of great military movements, whose course or result it
was impossible to predict, that tbe gold speculators en
joyed a comparative respite. Tbe trade of the gold
dealer has of late become so identified with bis coun
try’s troubles, that we cease to wonder at tbe heart
lessness which he manifests on the announcement of
reverses to our armies, or disasters to tbe cause of the
Union. Be may have gone into 'the business as be
might go into any legitimate occupation, xraose'object
is tbe creation of riches, like Ue broker, for instance,
who buye and sells stocks for other people who may
pay him for bis time and trouble. It Is one oi the ne
cessities of trade tnat there should he * * middle-men, 13
as they are called, who are neither tbe producers nor
the‘consumers of the articles in which they deal, who,
by attention to their particular branch, are enabled to
supply the wants of those who are otherwise engaged
than in taking advantage of tbe ups and downs of tbe
gold market. It is this division and sub-division of
labor that is tbe greatest help to business, and is, in
fact, indispensable to its complete success. Im
porters aud merchants generally are obliged,
therefore, to purchase their gold for the pay
ment of duties from the gold dealer. It is tbe
interest of the latter always to create a high price for
gold, and by a sole attention to that subject, and in the
practicing of the “tricks of trade,” he is always en
abled to demand and obtain a price unwarranted by the
circumstances of the case. Every national disaster is
by him augmented and magnified, while every victory
is belittled and doubted. Naturally, therefore, gold
speculation Is, to a great degree, incompatible with
true patriotism. Gold all the world oyer will com
mand a premium, When neoeeeiiies of State require the
manufacture of inferior caryency. War cannot be
carried on without paper currency, and,paper currency
being uncurrent abroad, we are compelled to give for
gold such a premium ae will meaenre the degree of the
lack of confidence in Government stability, as well as
that which Is required by the laws of supply and de
mand.
Daring tie tom shout to clots gold lag fluctuated be
tween 151 and 235, The former was the current quota
tion on Jannaiy 1,1861, and tie latter on July n, 1881,
a few days alter the passage of tie celebrated gold bill.
And here we might remark that every attempt to con
trol the market by legislative action has Invariably re
sulted In lailnre. This is explainable on tha ground
that the gold billt, by forbidding, nuder heavy penal
ties, the sale and purchase of gold in certain ways,
drives the business into the keeping of unscrupu
lous men, who, then being tbe monopolists, charge
almost any rate they choose. About the middle of Ja
nuary gold reached 153, and ou January 30th the figure
was 1 57. In February it was nearly steady at 159. on
March Htb it reached 161 ; on Bftreh 30th It had gone up
to 166; It steadily advanced io 178, which figure It
reached on April 11, and was at about that figure on
May Ist. On May 81st it reached 192; about the middle
of June it had gone up to 197. The gold act was passed
June2lst, and thereafter the fluctuations of gold were
Violent and active. We append the highest and lowest
rate for each day sinee June 21st. The table will be
found useful for future reference:

Several ol the'officers of prominent petroleum com
paniesiave combined for tbe organization of a Public
Petroleum Board, New York. The Idea upon Which
the movement Is started, is that, at present, no ade
quate facilities are afforded lor the Bale of the large
amount of petroleum stocks that has been created
dating tbe present year. It Is purposed to.lnstitute a
board, to-which tbe public shall be admitted, for th*
nominal charge of twenty- tve cents, and any parties
be permitted to make their own sales without the inter
vention of a broker; ihe annual subscription to the
board will be $l6 per annum. The exchange will be so
managed as to afford facilities for procuring iaforma
tion upon all matters connected with the petroleum in
terest.

800 fS AKD SHOES:—The present week is the cloßing
of the year, and as usual, there has been very little oat*
side demand; activity la the jobbing houses being
generally confined to the book- keepers, who are
anxious to have their accounts equated at the com
mencemenc of a year. The month's trade, however,
has been very satisfactory, at least to sellers. In fact,
burinetfi has been active since the October elections,
and sales have perhaps been larger, as the early season
was much interrupted by fluctuations in prices and
political and military excite ment. In no month of the
year ha& there bten a more sieacy and Uniterm market.
Prices been constantly firm, and buyers have or
dered without hesitation. Jobbers have, perhaps, less
than the usual quantity of stock in store as the year
closes.

-Thfere is a very quiet feeling- a* the close of the year
1864 draws n'gb, and onr dealers and mannfactarera’are
calculating their profits, and making arrangement* for
the trade of another year. There are a great many
basin* ss changes contemplated, and the usual number
of removals to bs elirmicltd; when these matte; s are
settled we may look for spring trade to commence In
earnest. The news of the capture of Savannah by
General Sherman is received with great rejoicing, ana
looMsg at it in a bnsine-s point of view; we expect
trade relations to epen wlth the State of Georgia, per
haps before the commencement of spring.

THE AMERICAN CONFLICT,
A HISTORY OF THE GREAT REBELLION, BY
HORACE GREELEY.
.This work, in its plan and scope, differs widely from
all other birtories of the Rebellion; while the candid,
lucid, searching, instructive presentment of the causes,
ircitemeutr, and earlier incidents of tee war—as given
to lusure for THE AMERI
CAN CONFLICT a wider circulation, greater populari
ty, and a far more permanent value than can be found
In any cotemporary work on the Rebellion Its present
success, all things considered, is unparalleled.
This History has also received the endorsement of the
Imospaper Press , many fold greater ihan has been ac
corded to any kindred work, In not less than one thou
sand highly commendatory notices and reviews, many
of which are from journals opposed to the author in
political sentiment.
The work is sold only by subscription, through Tra
velling Agents, to whom the exclusive right to canvass
within specified limits is given. We want energetic,
thorough -going Canvassers in every unoccupied county
and section. To experienced, efficient Agents—to all
who can appreciate and properly explain a work of the
elevated character of THE AMERICAN CONFLICT—
we offer inducements rarely If ever before equalled.
