Many ngcs must have elapsed after the creation of the world before any method of computating time, or dating events, was brought into established use. At a very early period time was measured by the revolutions of the moon, the seasons, tcnd the successive returns of labor and rest. The division of days into weeks bithe most ancient mode of marking time, and probably took place at the Crea tion. The next division was that of months, which appears to have -been in use even before the flood. Thu months were marked by the revolutions of the moon, consequently weep lunar months. The highest natur.►l division of time is into years. At first a year eonsisted of only twelve lunar months. It is sup posixl that this method of reckoning was in use as early as the Deluge, and that it continued for many ages after. But this was a very imperfect mode of computing time, for a lunar year was nearly eleven days shorter than a solar year; hence the months could not long correspond with the seasons. And even in the short space of seventeen years the winter months would have changed pla ces with those of summer. The calendar which is now generally adopted in the Christian world was in stituted by Romulus. Ills year began on the first of March, and continued on ly ten months, or about 304 days, hence was very imperfect. Noma gave 335 days,nddcd two months and transferred the beginning of the year to the first of January.. But this was still making the year too short. When Julius Closer obtained the Jo v oreignty of Rome, he found the months had changed from the- seasons, and in order to bring them forward to their places, ho formed one long year of fif teen months, or 445' days. This has been called the year of confusion. It ended January Ist, forty-five years be fore Christ. Fromlllhis period the Ju lian year of 365 days and 6 hours com menced. Tho common year contained only 865 days, but once every four years the 6 hours amounted to another day, and this day was added to the 28th of February, or the sixth emends of March, which was to be reckoned twice, hence this year was istyled Bissextile, or Leap year. The Julian year was still imperfect, for the earth performs its anneal circuit around the sun in 865 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 45 1-2 seconds; hence the solar year was shorter than the Julian, or civil year, by II minutes, 14 1.2 seconds, which in 180 years *lncanted to a day. In the course of time this inconve nience becoming too considerable to be unnoticed, Popo Gregory XIII, substi tuted a new calendar, called the Gre gorian Calendar, or New 'Style. It was published in, March, A. 11, 1582. Ten days had now *On gained by the old mode of reckoning, and these were truck out of the month of October fob kowing, by reckoning the fifth day of that month the fifteenth. And in order to prevent the recur rence of a similar variation iu time to come, lie ordered that one day should be added to every fourth as before, and that from the year 1600 every fourth centennial year should be reckoned as leap year, and the other three centen nial as common ones. Thus the years 1700, 1800, 1900, 2100, 2 . 2.'00, etc., are to be reckoned as common ones, and 1000, 2000, 2400, etc., as leap years. Even this correction is not, absolutely correct, yot the error is so small as to hardly vary one day in a thousand years. The mode of computing time as es tablished by Gregory is called the New, and- that by Julius thesar, Old Style. The New Style was adopted by Spain, Portugal, and part of Italy on the same day as at Rome, and in France on the tenth of Decomber following, which was reckoned the twentieth day. But in Great Britain this change was not adopted until September, 1752, when 170 years had elapsed since the Gregorion alteration, consequently a little more than another day had been gained. It was therefore enacted by Parliament that eleven, days, instead of tea, should be stricken out of the month of September, 1751 On the second day of that month the Old Styleceased, and the third day was r eckoned the outland& . By the same act Great liritain changed the beginning of . ttin "TRUTH IS MIGHTY, AND WILL PRIVATL." year from the 25th of March to the Ist of Jannary. The time for commencing the year has usually been determined, among different nations, by the date of some memorable event, such as the Deluge, the Incarnation of Christ, etc. • The Egyptians began the year with the au tumnal equinox. Thu Jewish ecclesi astic year began in the spring, but in civil affairs they retained the epoch of the Egyptians. The ancient Swedish year began about the tune of the win ter solstice. The Turks and Arabs commence their year about the middle of July. When Romulus began the year in March, he named the last four months according to their position.. The names September, October, November, De cember, designated their order--sev enth, eighth, ninth and tenth. But Numa changed the beginning .of the year to their first of January without altering the names of the mouths; hence they do now correspond to their order in he calendar. Owing to these changes in the mode of reckoning time, if wo wish to ascer tain to what date in Old Style would a certain day in New Style correspond, or what date in New Style any day of Old Style would represent, we must ob serve the following rules: If the event happened before ,A,he first of March, 1700, add ten days to The Old Style, and you have it corrected for the new; if it happened between the last day of February, 1700 and theist of March, 1800, add eleven days; if be tween the same dates in 1800 and 1900, add twelve days; and if between 1900 and 2100 add thirteen days. If you wish to ascertain the Old Style from the New, subtract from the New instead of adding to the Old. DEBATING CLUBS vs. LECTIMEB. Not many years ago, the establish ment of Debating Societies was gener al thing throughout our country. The young men, the mechanics, and the more learned and wealthy, organized associations, and discussed questions re luting to almost every iinhject of useful, historical and scientific interest. These societies accomplished great good. All classes were Interested. The most humble found a sphere in which he could draw out the energies of his mind in the competition °filch:oe, might have his thinking powers cultivated, and his 'titbits of study engrafted and confirmed. Itut,it an evil hour,the idle worshipp•rs of Fashion, who did not wish to under go the trouble of thinking for them selves,inaugurated a system of fiectures, and let • loose upon the community class of gentlemen who were willing to tickle the ear with fine words, at the rate of fifty dollars an evening.' It is not our purpose to contrast the mental developoinenth of communities under the two systems—Debating Sod eties and Lectures. The results are patent to every one of observation.— We simply desire to ergo upon all, the re-organisation of the old fashioned De bating Societies. This should be done in every village and school district, for, it has been appropriately said, that. no societies aro more promotive of correct habits of thought, mental activity, and a love of general knowledge than these; nor are there any means by which• his torical information and scientific intolli henco can be more universally diffused. As "iron sharpeneth iron. ; ' so noth ing tends so powerfully to sharpen mind, as the habit of honest, earnest discus /den, white it greatly increases the disputant's stuck of mental acquisitions, it gives him rapidity of mental action, and ingenuity of intellect,. As a mane of educating the thinking powers, we look upon the public debate as unap . prenchuble. The exercises of a well conducted Debating Society confer a throe-fold be nefit upon the participants. In the first place, they enlarge their more of facts and ideas-.-secondly, they are trained in the habit cf thinking quickly and Concentnttedly—and, thirdly, they acquire the ability , to express their thoughtsfluently ie good English. Almost every faculty of the intellect is brought into action whoa in taking part in the prtmeedinge of a DJbatin g Club. The memory is wrought up into intense action'; eauselity is taxed; im agination is allowed full play, the indi vidualizing .faculty is culled out; _the power of reasoning by analogy is test od ; and the ability to embody ideas in to sentences es strictly exercised. It' such Societies were more general, the mental character pi' the people would be of a higher tone. A spirit of inquiry would be prevalent. People would reason, think and act for them selves. They would not, as many thousands now do, be governed by mere prejudices or prepossessions, and form their opinions of political parties, relig ions organizations, business affairs and social matters, from mere feeling and passion. No process is so well adapted soon to constitute a quick-wit ted, sagacious, long-headed, thoughtful people, as a universal establishment of Debating Clubs. Members of these Clubs aro generally well posted up on the doings of legislative bodies, the acts of public otlieers, and the condition of the active world. They keep up with the age and generation, Many pf the leading orators of our country coin, nonce d their,speaking careers in De bating Clubs; and to the saint) source many a sound thinker owes his cenvqr sion from mental sleepiness and lethar gy, to alite of thought, study and se tion.—Norrixteien Register. serNever atop to tall( in a ohuroh aisle sitar service is over. yarYoull break my heart, as the oak said to the !intact. • SHARP PB.ACTIOR The keenness of the legal profession is proverbial, and manifold are the anecdotes extant of the sharp-witted manner in which members of the bar manage to carry their points, and make the worse appear the better cause.-- Among all, however, with which we are acquainted, ,we do not recollect one that exhibits the legal Subtlety to which we have alluded, in a more decided manner, than in a ease recently record ed, in which a Mx. Cartenius, now a most pronauent lawyer in Western New York, was a prominent actor. It is stated that when this gentleman first settled in Lockport., he had a case in volving the title or possession of a house and lot. When he came into court he found that his whole dependence was on the testimony of the tenant who oc cupied the house—ono Solomon Green. Green was called to the stand. The op posite cciunsel objected to him. The objection was argued and sustained, and Cartenius was apparently floored. A bright idea struck him, however. He beckoned to his clerk, Mr. Lamonte, who is also now a prominent , member of the bar of western New York. He came. C. whispered in his ear a few moinentS,, when ho and Green wore seen to !sate the court together. Now for the next move. Time must be kill ed. ; Cartenius commenced a speech.— Ile spoke on. The court frowned,; the opposing counsel objected; the jury be came indignant, and the :audience im patient. All agreed that C. was mak ing a fool of himself. An hour passed. Ever and anon the ,opposite counsel would pop up amid object to his proceed ing further. The court-house door opens. Lamonte and Green enter.— Cartenius, with well expressed indig nation at being constantly overruled, took his seat- The court inquires: "Have you any other wituess to otter, fir., Cartenius?" " Yes, sir." Solomon Green was called. Up jumps the oppo site counsel. a May it please the court —this is the witne.s that hus just been rejected. It is almost a contempt to bring him on to the stand again." Mr. Carteniusr—" Never mind : Mr. Green, do you reside in that house?" "No sir, /havejust reniered." A shout front bar, and 'audience rewarded the clever ruse of'the counsellor—the disqualifica tion of his witness had been removed, lie gained his ease, ai:d it is recorded that the business of his office doubled in less than three months thereafter. WINDING UP A WATCH. There is a time for all things, says Solomon—a time to sing and a time to make merry—and wu add, a time to wind up a watch. What that time is depends upon a man's. habits. Are yon an early-riser and do *you shave before breakfast.? The morning should also be allotted to your chronometer. you sleep when the sun is midway in the heavens? Wind up your watch the half hour before dining—it will give you an appetite. if you are a man of business, be punctual .about your time piece. Wiwi it up as regularly as. you go to bed.—That is the best time for a mau who goes to bed sober,—but if ' your habits are irregular, or you :teens- tom. yourself to a whiskey punch ur ' gin -sling by way of a.night-cap, don't undertake to wind up your watch at that boar. Ten chance* to one if you find the key-hole, or hall do the job. Leave it till morning,*and then, if your is not steady, mil some one to do it for you. There is nothing like it-w -ing is watch wound up properly. iiirA woman is either worth a great deal or nothing.

" lIP THE lIID An advertisement in Harper's Week ly,,i headed as above, shows the thor ough ¢o-ahead-ittiveness of the "Cni versalYankee Nation" in a remarka ble mintier. It announces a pleasure voyage, by the steamer Ericsson. A. B. Lowber, Commander, from Now York to Constantinople, and ‘• bock a gain," as the Scotchman said. The charge for this pleasure trip, with the hest accommodations, is put as low as 8750. The intention is to leave New York at 2 o'clock P. M. on the first day of May, to steam across the Atlantic to Gibraltar, thenep up the Mediterranean to Malta, Alexandria, Jaffa, (for Jeru salem,) Constantinople, Athens and Naples. stopping a given number of days at each of these places. We pre sume, though it is not mentioned, that persons who wish to go4o Jerusalem, instead of Constantinople, will be drop ped at Jaffa on the way up and called for on the return of the steamer. We have to add that we have not the slighest knowledge of any person con nected in getting up this pleasure trip, and our readers will accept this notice only for what it professes to be, and not as either an advertisement., or puff in disguise. We notice it because it really shows a boldness in business adventure. such as, we venture to say, no other country cats exhibit. There is something mag nificent in the idea of visiting the prin ciple places celebrated in tittered and profane history, modern as well as an cient, in a few weeks, and at a nioder ate cost. The expected length of time to be occupied in the whole trip is not mentioned, but we presume that two months would amply cover It.

The , company of tourists, from the amount • of cost, (though that is small,) will ne cessarily be select, mainly consisting, we dare say, of well educated and well informed people, of both sexes.

There is no vast Atlantic to cross, and only a little coasting to do, between England and Gibraltar, and Set such a pleasure trip "s this has neror yet boon got up in the "old country." In truth, John Bull is rather slow, and, we sus pect, has a dread of steam-voyaging , except when a business purpose is in view.

But it is not in the name of these that I would appeal to the honorable Senator. W 6 have a country, a common country, a country dear to him and tome; to you; sir; to one and to all of us. tbst country is in peril. The hearts of stout men begin to quail. Thousands and hundreds of thousands of our peo ple believe that tiro Union•is even now rocking beneath our foot. The Senator has it in his power to put a stop to all tins agitation. If lie will but say to the angry waves " Peace, be still," calmness will settle on the g roat deep of public sentiment.-- 7 1Thother be thinks so or not, ho is the very life and soul of this agitation. If ho stood now where ho stood at the passer of this_ bill, with his Democratic friends, sup porting the strong arm of a President who dares to do his duty in the face of every danger, there would not- t havo been a ripple on the surface ; or if tboru had been, it would have subsided and ' died away in the great ocean of ()bile ' ion where other ripples hare gone, and we should almost without an effort: in troduce Kamm into the Union.
