New Year's calling in New York was purely the outgrowth of an early Dutch custom, yet strangely euougb many of the "descendants.of.the early DutehSset; U rs fought against the con tinuance of a practice which they de clared lifld long since passed beyond the bounds to which the fathers limit ed it and had been made the excuse for great excesses on a day which ought to In? given over to the forming of good resolutions. In the early days of Manhattan Is land the maleM^utch settlers every New Year's day started out as a mat ter of duty to visit the houses of all their friends. The good wives who re ceived them were^arrayed Iii~their Sun day 11 nest and had bowls'of steaming hot punch upon the ''best room" table. The latter day Dutch descendants de nied the punch and said it was cofTee. The irrevereiit latter day champions of New Year's calling denied tbe punch also and told their oppouents that their forefathers would not know a punch if they saw It and that they drank nothing but ill smelling hot gin. Whatever it was that the good burgh ers drank, they succeeded in calling within the compass of the day upon every family of any note on Manhattan Island. ? A Nott Yenr'n Cyclone.
