' I promised My young readers, in my last,
to give them the Rule for finding the Dimmest.
Li.rrxn. The following is applicable to any
year, past, present or future, arranged tat the
principles of our present Calendar,. which will
remain without any change fur many thousand
years to come.
. For the purpose of enabling you to understand
the operation exactly, I will take the present
year (1847) for an example, and illuStrate the
rule, step by step, as you go on with the process.
And then, any child, that can work the four
simple rules 4)1 Arithmetic, can readidly apply
it to any other year.
I. Divide the number of centuries (cutting off
the odd-years) by 4, noting the remainder;
3. hue, , 4)18,47
tii
2. Dotitile the remainder,
3. Subtract that amount from eii.
4. To the remainder add the odd 47
,yeire and a 4th part of them
(rejecting- fractious), 11
s::',Divide that amount by 7 ; noting 7)60
..,:the remainder,
•
6. Sobtract,that remainder from seven
7. The lait remainder (3) is the number of
the Dominical Letter, in the order of the Alpha
bet, for that year : viz. C:
Look into the Almanac, and you will find it
so. o
Now go ovei this rule again and again, tap
plying it to different years, till you can not on
lv perform the operation with the directions be
fore your eyes, but, be able to take every step
in order and with perfect correctness whereever
you happen to It is just as easy, and saves
a great deal of time, to learn -a thing once, fur
your whole life, as to learn and forget ha dozen.
times,
But it is necessary to inform you, that every
Leap-Year requires two Dominica% Letters.—
The one found by the rule which I have given
you, applies only to the last ten months of th e e
year ;—but theitext letter to it. in the-order of
the seven, is the Dominica,. for the Liao proced
ing months. That is, if the fetter found by the
rule for a Leap-Year is D, it is to.be used only
from the first of March. to the end of that year.
But th e next Letter to it, which to E, must be
the Dominical . f,ir January and February. 8o
if G is the Dominica! found for a
,Leap• Year.
you must take' A. (which is the next in order.)
fur those two months.
This may appear a little strange, at first
thought, but you can readily 'understand the
the reason and propriety of the ease.
You know that a Leap-Year, (ol which' I
shall tell your more hereafter.) has 28 days in
February. (Dtd;you read that word. right
A great many little boys and girls, and some
big ones, call that month Febuaty'; but it is not
so. Now call the word right and never forget
it.) Well, as I was about to say, the intercalaf•
ed day—the 29th of Febuary, requires the Do
minica' Letter for the precedinipirt of the year,
to be placed 'one letter in advance, otherwise
the week preceding the.firstSabbath in January.
would consist: of only 6 days, and thus derange
every Sabbath of the year.
It you will look at this attentively. you will
find no difficulty in understanding all about it 0
and.you see it is just as easy to ascertain the
two letters for a leap•year. as one for a common
year.. Thus next year (1848) will be leap•year.
and the Dominica' Letter found by the rule, 'is
A, which is to be used from the Ist of March in
the end of the year. But the next Letter (B.)
must be used for January and February. The
Dominica' Letters for the last leap•year (1844)
were G and F. By the rule,F is found and be.
longed to the last 10 months of the year. and G
being the next letter, was. applied to January
and February.
As children are sometimes, and especially in
Arithmetic, affrighted at nothing, and know not
what to do with if ; I will just tell you, that in
nsieg.thisrule,you will frequently have a cypher
or nothing - fur a remainder. And some of you
will ftethaps stop and say. - (as I have often
heard children ask.) " How can I multiply Or
subtract nothing 1" Well now. only " follow
your rule." and do all thst it diteets. and do not
spend time in asking foolish questions: . or such
as you -can- readily answer yourselves. Sup

always begin 'with its own particular letter, and
these will bti-as-follows •

To aid the memory to retaining the order ni
these leiterse the following homely couplet, liar
been proposed,—the initial letter of each word
corresponding with the several months in their
order.

At Dover Dwell George Brown, Emnire,
July, Aug. Sept. 9et.' Nov. Dec.

Or. if ynu would prefer plain prose. take
the initials of these words;and they may be read
thus, and will be easily remembered.
ADD G. BEG C, FAD F.
Now, suppose you wish In know, on what
day of the week, the 4th of July will occur,,this
year.
You Lod the Dominica! Letter by the rule is
C: and from the preceding schedule, that the
let day of July is always G. Therefore-. the
2nd will be A:—he 3rd El :--and the
,4th 0:
which, being the Dominica' for this year, shows
that the 4th of July, this year, will be ,the
Sabbath. ..
But suppose you wish to ascertain, on what.
day of the week, the Declaration of Indepen ,
deece was adopted in Congress. July 4th 1776.
Here yon find by the rule, that the Dominica'
Letter, for that year, was F. (for, the last ten
months, it being Leap-Year). -The Ist of July
as before, is U ; which being the letter next
after the Dominical Vas Monday—then, the
2nd was Tuesday—the 3rd Wednesday; and
the 4th, Thursday. „; •
Again, take this question. •
On the 26th of Feb. 1775. Gen. Gage, com
mitted the first act of aggression ngatrist the
colonies. by sending a detachment - of" troo p s
from Boston to Salem, to setze'a quantity Of
arms deposited there. On what day of the
week was that done?
TheDominieal Letter for that year you find
to be A. February commences with D which.
of course, was the fourth day of the week or
Wednesday. Consequently. Wednesday was
the 22m1,,-Thursday the 23n1,—Friday die
24111.—Saturday the 25th. and Sabbath the 26th.
Thitsinu find. that the first' hostile act of the
mother country against the colonies, was ag
gravated in the sight of high heaven. by the vio
lation' of the Fourth ComMandment.
Again on the 19th of April following; Oceur
eil the Rattle of Lexington. April begins with
G. And reckoning in the same manner, you
find that the 19th was Wednesday.
The reverse process is 7 eguaily obvious and
14E+11.
• Jhe.first Colonial Congress, occasioned by
the Stamp Act, assembled on the first Tues,day
in Oct. 1765. Wladay of the month was it !
The Dominiral Letter for that year is found
to be F. The first day of Oct. is always indi
cated by A. which, of course, was the third
day of the week, wich is Tuesday. , Conse-
quently. the first Tuesday was the Ist day of
that month, and not the 7ih, as you see is stat
ed in some American histories. ,
In the, same manner. yew can ascertain any
day of the week or month, for any year, past
or future, directions will be necessary in relation
to dates previous to the reform of the Calendar
in 1752, which, you are nut now prepared to
understand.
By the rules which have been laid doWn,
you may also determine, when a particular day
of the, month will occur on the • Sabbath. -A
few months ago, it was asserted, in many oßhe
newspapers. as an evidence the wonderftil saga
city `of the founders ()four government, that they
had fixed on the 4th of March for the eomwence
meni of the Civil year because the inauguratiOn
day, (which occurs every 4th yeat;) would. not
happen"on the Sabbath for many centuries to
come. (1) Now,the man that originated thist!ipe
hosyl.il he did not inteta it; for a hoax, ought to
haire known, at least,that thrlth of March,lB2l.
°mitred on the Sabbath; and that Pres:ident Mpti
rnes.second inauguaration took-place on Mon
day the sth, And it equally certain, that the
4th of March 1849. (the time for the next Presi
dential inatiouration) will occur on the Sabbath ;
& agaiiiin 1877 ; & as often as any inauguration
day shall occur in a year of. which the Minutia
cai Letter is G. For D alwa y s stands for the

people write and say about them. They are so easy
in their operation that all like them. The editor of the

Dr. G. Benj. Smith— •
• Dea4 Sir. I was laid up with a bad cold some time
since my return from N. Y., and during my illness I
made trial of sour pills, and I must say I found them
excellent. They are the best medicine for the purpose
they are intended, that I have yet seen. I seldom take
pills, but I found yours entirely free from the objections
to which other pills are lisble. I hope they will continue
to be a source of profit to you, as 1 doubt not they will.

A Natural Remedy.
wg CAN confidently affirm that among medicines
deeigned for general use, none stand higher in
popular estimation than
Wright's Indian Vegetable Pill&
llanlty a day passes but we receive testinionials in their
favor, and the most enthusiastic are those' who have
longest used them. What better prove of excellence
could we ask In them, we behold a signal triumph
of principle over prejudice and truth over defamation..
The prineipleixupon which this celebrated medicine
is foonded,are beautifully simple. Every one is aware
that, in a state of sickness, the stomach and Powell' are
irregular and disordered. Of course, so long as they
continue in that state, the food is badly digested, and
the blood, in consequence of being badly prepared, is
lees Et for the proper support of health and life.—
Should the stomach and bowels continue disordered,
the mischief extends; the corrupt humors collict upon
that organ that is weakest and least able to throw them
oil; anti thus disease becomes seated. The same effect
is produced in, other \ways. Cold, acting upon the
exhaling vessels of the skin, drives the perspiration mat-
ter inward; overheat inducing debility and bad diges
tion, bad sir, injuriou-ly affeNing the blood and lungs;
unwholesome dirt; close confinement ; want of clean
liness; bad habits; and many other causes produce the
same result.
From this brief explanation, it will be seen that dis
ease, whether it arises from the blood itself, acted upon
by outward causes, or through the derangement of par
ticular functions, amounts in the end to the same thing.
Therefore a good vegetable medicine. such as Wright's
Indain Vegetable Pills, adapted to cleanse the system
from the muss of impurities which oppresses it, is the
best thing that can be taken. But let us look into the
subject a little farther.
The public will have learned enough of the mysteries
of and pathology to know that all medical
treatment is founded upon three laws of the animal
economy. —First, that the blood circulates through, and
provides support for the whole body ; second, that it
(the blood) is endowed with vitality and aids in pulling
down and rebuilding the human edifice; and third, that
all causeless and injurious particles are ejected by one
of four outlets, either the akin. lunge, kidneys or bowels.
Upon the first of these laws, (the circulation,) is found
ed the hope of reaching remote parts of the system; for
the purpose of removing local disorder. Upon the
second, (the vitality of the blood.) depends the efficien
cy of medicine, for it is well known that, the more
healthy the hor4 is, the better do medicines operate =-
And upon the third, is founded the expectation of rid
ding the system of these poisonous particles which are
the cause of disease.
Now a medicine to be adapted to the human consti
tution moat regard these laws. ft must circulate with
the blood. it must aid the vital principle, and like
carry off the corrupt particles through each of the ap
pointed ways. Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills were
i
prepared with reference to these laws, and hence ar e
every way calculated to remove disease.
