Hence. in every lilt year, that clay is in serted, g,tving an additional thy to February. which is the shortest month, and making that year consist of 366 days. This arraw2ement 01 the Calendar was made by Julius Clutar, (before the birth so Christ.) and ihk,ealled after bath, the'Julian Calendar.— The year, id which the Ildittonal day was in serted.' was called bliss-Exalts.

The origin of our term •• Leap-Year. is said to'he this. If in an ordinary year 305 days, (the present year. for instance.) the first day of March comes on Monday : io the next year, if it were a common year. March would begin on Tuesday. Bit the Year 1818 will be a "Leap-year, and February will have 29 days, which will bring the Ist of March on tVedoesday. 'rhos instead of stepping- front Monday to Tuesday, •• it leaps to Wednesday." Thisiis the account given by learned authority andlyet, is difficult to tell what leaps ; for there has been no omission of any day of the week. The inheres wed day in February has only taken, as is ought.) the name of what_ would liave,been the Ist day of March, and left to it. the name of the next day of the week. in the raghthif order of time. $o there is no leaping. but the same regular step, at which time has always. jogged - mi. But the Leap-Year denotes a year of 366 days, and it is a matter of no con wo:hence, whether the term is strictly applica ble or not. • v. It is m ire important to know when the Leap Year occurs. For this you have this general rule. •• In the inlim Calendar, any year that c.in be divided by 4, without a remainder is leap-year: whenever there is a remainder it is a common rear." Thus 1815 - --'0 and '7, when divided by 4. 'Pave severally 1,2 and 3 as a remainder, , But 1818, will leave- no remainder, Therefore each of the former was a common year, and 1818 will he a leap year. So of anti others by which you wilLaseertain that every 4th year will be leap-year But there is an exception to this rule, which you ouzlit to know, and the reason why, you should also underst In order to this, you will observe, that add ing a day to every 4th year. went on the princi ple, that a year is exactly 305 days 6 hours.— But this is not the• fact. It has been, ascertain ed by more accurate calculations, that the true solar year is 305 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, 47.6 seconds. Consequently in 6 Jiours' we have added, 11 minutes. .12.4 seconds too much every year ; or 44 minutes, 49.6 seconds in the 3 years. This, in the course of 128 and at half years, would aiummt to- 24 hours. or a complete day. Consequently, if the leap-year was continued everk4th year, fur that length of - tirneohere Would 'be one day to much added? sod in 385 years (that is, almost 4 centuries) it would amount to 3 enttre days. Hence, to avoid this error, is has been arang cil, that of the last years of all complete centuries (although divisible by 4. iyithout a remainder.) "3 shall not be, : while the 4th shall be Leap- Year. And kenre, this rule is laid clown : "When a :Complete eentury, (rejecting the cyphers.) beibg . divided by 4 leaves a remainder the leap-yea': is to be omitted :—when no re• - inainder, it is to he a Leap-Year." Thus the years 17(00) and 18 (00) were not leap-Years: because 17 or 18, diiided by 4 gives a remain der. So the year 19(00) and also 21(00)-22 (00) and 23(00) will not be leap years. But 20(00)-24(00) and every fourth century, _ thereafter, will 6e leap-year. rhos you plainly perceive, that by omitting the leap-year, at the end of 3 out of 4 centuries, we almost exactly balance the annual excess of 11 minutes and 12.4 seconds, which is added by making every 4th year a leap-year, This - excess amounts to the 3 days (to be =mined) in 385 years ; leaving only 15 rears toeoruplete the 4 c:nturies. The amount thetefore, that will be lo•t by this arrangement. will be_only 2 hour% 42 minutes and 19.8 Seconds, in the pee of 400 years: and therefore, ii will require more than 3.500 years for this to amount to a 'whole day, - flenee, no further adjustment of our Calendar will be•needed, till about A. D. 5.400. And if the world should stand as long as that, and - the planets continue to move as regularly, all that would be necessary then will ba to make that year, or any other common year, a leap-year. But you' will perhaps ask, what need is there of all this axactness in arranging the Cal endar? l will show you. Suppose there had never been any leap-year; hut each year had been reckoned just 365 days. You see that there would have been an error of nearly 6 hours. This would have amounted, from the birth of our Savio u r to the 'present time, to more than a whole year. The ennite .vistaiwa would have been not only an error in the number of years. but the months would have run around, through all the.seasons of the year, - About the year A. D. 700, the Ist of January would have been tear mid-summer and about 400 years ago. it - (would have gone through all the seasons, back to its former place. And by this time Jut. would be. the :middle of Spring _again, and July the middle of Autumn,' You see this would he very incorrect, in point of time, as well as highly inconvient , for it is very desirable, in the affairs of life, to have the Calendar correspond with the Seasons, from year M year. And_ now. let me give you a praetieal illus tration of this inconvenience, which was fa miliar to our 'forefathers. Yon have hoard and sometimes, real abont the "OW and the "4'Verr S:yle." And I have often heard children ask. " W hat does this mean?" If you hul lived 41 hundred years ago, you' would have known. But I wdi tell you. lu con-e uenec of the regular addition of one day to 'every 4th year; from the' time of Julius Cmsar to the 10thcentury, it was .dis covered-, that the seasons" *ere _gradually fall ing backwards in the Calendar ; anithad alrea dy proceeded so far4tat the Vernal Equinox (the time at which the day and night are equal in the spring,) which was known tu have.hap pened,•in the. year32s. on the 211 st of Mardi, actually mewed, in 1582. tin the It) of March. This, you _will readily perceive. had arisen from the additimi of 11 ibinutes, 12.4 seconds 3 year too much, in noiking every 4 h year leap year. la a lithe tart 128 years, it mia i de an entire day ; and in 1582 amounted. within ft what', to 10 entire days. Hence. Pope Gregory XIII. for the purpose of restoring the Engin.% to the same period of the year that it oertipied in the Calendar. in 325. in which the Conned of Nice, was held. ordered 10 days to he dropped mitMl the Calendar of that year .which was dune in the month of October. by numbering the day after the-411i, the 15th.— The Calendar thus r. Gtrmed W. 38 called the Sew Siy/e," while the lovier mode of reckon ing was denominated the "Ohl Style," The asperities, which had been. excited by the Reformation, unduuhtellly retarded the adop. Lion of this important correction, beyond the papal pale. Protestant countries were - slow in coming into the measure. AO so great was the hostility of the Greek to !ye Roman church, that to this day, the Old Stile is retained' in Russia. have somewhere seen it stated, that the New Sis le Was adopted in that Em tore, ut 1830. Hut travellers, even within the I Ist year, testify, that the 011 Stale is still retain ed there, as the common mode of computation. The New Style was not adopted in England, till 1751 ; and then another entire day had an cumulated and been dropped, from "the reform ed Calendar, in 1700. An act of Parliament was then passed. by which it was ordered, that 11 days should be dropped out of the Julian Calendar, in Sept. 1752. by reckoning the day after the 2nd of that month the 4th instead of the 3rd. But -in this country, the Old Style was not entirely discarded. in colloquial dis course, 50 years ago. At the beginning of this century, old people were in habit of giving dates in both styles. And in books printed less than 100 years ago, it is common to find dates desig nated as 0. S, or N. S. In he year 1.800, no her intcrealary day had accumulated. and was omitted, (to the great con sternation of manY living at the time, who thought that every 4th year. must be a leap year; and the ./7/marzuc-makers Caine well nigh losing, their reputation.) So there are now. 12 days difference between the Old and the New Style ; whiely.will require some further illustra tion. U% LE ZaDox. hermitage. Feb. 15, 1817. AgricultuC As truly as woman is the mother . and nurse of mankind. so is Agriculture the mother and nurse of individual and national wealth. This is the art which is everything to all the Arts. It is not only the source of wealth, btit it is the °number of every branch of labor to which _men can turn. Commerce may be swept from our seas; manufactures may stop their wheels and gather rust and cobwebs ; the city may sink in ashes. and yet the Republic is not des troyed. Agriculture will restore that commerce, start again the machinery of the mills, and bid those cities rise, rebuilt in brighter splendor, more throngird ant: inure stately than before.-- The history of Tyte. of Carthage, and of Rome negr would have ended in blood and desolation, fial:the Plicenecians, , the Carthaginians, and the Romans laid the foundation of their great ness on the sure basis of National. Agriculture. Their policy was to concentrate their social en ergies in war, or in a fickle trade. which travers ed the seas in ships, Of the desert on camels.— Their wealth was not indigenous with the soil. Strangers raised their bread. if they tilled the earth, it.was with slaves and not with freemen. To be a merchant or a warrior king, was the essential, prominent pride of a citizen. Thev never appreeeted, indeed they never knew, that policy which places Agriculture as the hap piest, the noblest and the best occupation of man, and as the surest prop an d guardian of the State. But modern history has developed a rational theory of political greatness and of social virtue. It is found that farmers are the most-strong and lobes' of men, and make; the material of cal force in the nation. It is found that farmers, owing to their occupation - have, as compared ,with others, equal courage. with less brutal pas sion ; equal talent, with less erratic genius• ' ; equal pride with great love . of country and of men, they love home because they have one. they love peace because they feel it in their breasts, and they love liberty oecause they en: joy it in the fields and mountains.- In cities, the eye; the ear, the senses are turned on man. The crowded thorough fare—the glittering mart —the*. gorgeous palace." and fashion's bright array"—these occupy the head, the heart, the hands..and busy straitened, toiling, hurrying, wretched man, moves on in masses to the grave. Their pride turns into sullen hate, or struts in stolen livery. Their comfort leaves the hearth to make way fur luxury. There, ambition whets his sword, weaves his pimple robe, and forges his crown. But on the farm—however clustered are the mansions or extended the fields, or thick the shocks of corn or full the flowing granaries—there the eye rests more on the love ly, glorious, eternal scenes of nature—the low land, stretching down in southward lawns ; the upland, leaning against the hill ; the mountain with its swarthy shadows made of pine ; the stars and moon by-night, the sun by day ; the ever mantling clouds, in fleecy whiteness pure. or black with storm; the ever whispering winds, the birds, the flowers these are the objects which'crowd upon his senses and elevate his soul. These objects and these employments in which toils control his heart, correct his head, and make him die healthiest, the hardiest and the hest of men. These truths are beginiog being felt by states. men .Thelaw begins to throw its shield over ag riculture: The farmer begins to feel his physical and naliral position in the Commonwealth.— Etlneatigin, with her magic lamp. has-gone into his family. Science begins to help him plow. and sow, and reap; and rural comfort and yen.' man virtue are occupying the land. . This is the pisition agriculture occupies in noir affertiono, in inn - system of politics—and as such we shall ecer treat it in our writing. II these United Stales' adapt a system of adminis tration and of laws. which place the farmer first in the estimate of national wealth and virtue, if we keep capital a servant tolabor. and legislate for the many and not for the few, the Republic will he perpenial.—Prairie Farrier.

WILCOX, PHILANDER SAGE. Towanda, May 14, 184 A Natural Remedy. lATE CAN confidently affirm that among medicines V designed for general Ild", none stand higher it popular estimation than Wright's Indian Vegetable Pi Hardly a day passes but we receive testimonials 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 principles upon which this celebrated medicine is founded, are beautifully simple. Every one is aware that, in a state of sickness, the stomach and bowels are irregular and disordered. Of Course, so long as they continue in that state, the fond is badly dige.ted, and the blood, in consequence of being badly prepared, is less fit fur the proper support of health and life.— Should the stomach and bowels continue disordered, the mischief attends ; the corrupt humors collect upon that organ that is weakest and least able to throw them off, and thus disease . becomes seated. The same effect i; produced in other wave. Cold, acting upon the etbaling , vessels of the skin, drives the perspiration mat ter inward; overheat inducing debility and had diges tion, bad air, injuriou.ly affec.ing the blood and lungs; unwholesome diet; close confinement ; Want of clean- liness; bad habits; and many other causes produce the same result. From this brief explanation, it will he 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 goat vegetable medicine, such as Wright's Indain Vegetable Pills, adapted to cleanse the system from the mass 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 themysteries of physiology 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 puffing down and rebuilding the human edifice; and third, that all causeless and injurious pa•tides are ejected by one of four outlets,either the skin, lungs, 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, fur it is well known that the more healthy the body is, the better do medicineti opettee 4 — And upon the third, is founded the expectation of rid ding the system °Mese poisonous particles which are the cause of disesse. • Now a medicine io be adapted to the human consti• ration must regent these laws. It must circulate with the blood, it must aid the vital principle, and like it carry off the corrupt particles through each of the ap. pointed ways. Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills were prepared with reference to these laws, and hence are every way calculated to remove disease. Special Court.
