Although the Calendar as it now stands was
reformed by Pope Gregory VIII, in 1782, it
was not the resultol his own superior wisdom.
For while it was obvious; to all, that the Vernal
Equinox was running bagl, in the Calendar. it
wit! not Gregory that contrived the mode of
adjusting it, and of keeping it on the sesine (I.ty
of the month in all time to ensue. This was
the invention of At.oxstui Lodes. a physician
of Verona. who left the pl•nt than ii out, at tie
death which was presented by his brother to
Gregory ; who introduced it in the'mannes that
has been related.
As England dill not adopt the reformed
Calendar till lest) than 100 years aEss, and con
tinued to date, according to old Old Style. up
to . that tune, it is of vast practical importance
to understand tins matter, in order to ascertain
the true date of phst events. And this is the
more important from the fact, that our Ameri
can ' Histories, specially those designed for
schools. and even many of our Almanacs abound'
with grosOhinders on this pont. •
Therefore. in changing dates from the Old
Style to the-New, you will bear in mind, that
it is the former. mid not the latter, that is the
sultject of correction ; and therefore, when_ ass
event is once correctly recorded in the New
Style. it niII never need correction to the end
of time; if the principles of the Calendar are
maintained. In snaking these correction!, the
following rules must be observed.
I. lithe event happened previously io the Ist
of March 1700, add 10 days to the date in the
Old Style, and you have it corrected for the
New.
2. If it happened between the last day of
Feb. 1700 and the Ist of March 1800, then
you must add 11. days.
3. 11 it hvpened between' the same dates in
1803 and 1900, 12 days inest,be added. And.
4. If between 1900 and 2109; 13 days, ant:
so on, adding 1, fur everytiMercalary day
omitted.
Now the reason-of this is obvious. As the
vear 1600 was a leap-year according to the re
formed Calendar, no intercalary day was omit
ted, till the year 1700. , Thetefure nothing was
to be added, but the:ten days omitted in 1582
But, in the year 1700, another day was omit
ted, and therefore all events recorded in the
Old Style, during' the 18th century, requiring
the addition of 1;1 days to'bring them into the
New Style.
Again, in the year 1800, another day was
omitted.. hence the dates of the 19th century,
recorded iii the Old Style, must have 12 days
added, to bring them into the New Style.
And so of the next century ; if any nation
. shall still keepop the Old Style, the events
recorded by them between 1900 and 2100, will
require the addition of 13 days, and so on to
the end of time, adding 1 for every omitted
leap-year.
And now I will give you a practical illustra
tion of both the importance and correctness of
' these rules.
The Pilgrims landed on the rock at Ply
mouth Dec. 11th (b. S.) 1820. This accord
ing to the'relorined Calendar watthen Dec. 21st
1620. Although this event occured in the 17th
century, yet as the - year 1600 had been a leap
year in the New Calendar as well as the Old,
no additional day had been omitted, and, there
fore, nothing but the 10 days was to be added,
to bring that date into the New Style. There
ore England had previously adopted the re
formed Calendar, it would have been recorded
Dec. 21st 1620. And having been once cor
rectly entered in the New Style, it Would re
main unchanged to-the end of the world.
But what is the fact ? Why. we find our
Almanac, and many of our D. S. Histories
giving the 22d of December, as the date of that
event, and even.",the sons, of the pilgrims"
have been so completely duped by these wisea
cres, that they have. for many years, celebrated
• the 22d as the Anniversary of that event.
It is easy to see how this gross blunder has
been made, though it by no mean justifies the
error. England did not adopt the New Style
until the middle of the 18th century (1751) and
therefore she was obliged to omit 11 days. as
the refoimed Calendat had omitted another day,
(in addition to the 10.) at the close of the pre-
vious century.' Here then. some one, whether
Almanac maker or hi-torian. it matters not,
supposed, that in rectifying the ,dates of the
, Old Style, h must add these 1 I day: indiscri•
minately to alt past events, without respect to
the century, in which they occured. Hence,
by adding 11 to Dec. 11th 1620 he obtained
Dec. 22d. But here was a palpable error.--,
To alt events which had -happened previously
to 1700 . , only 10 days were to he added,
• 'because only 10 had then been dropped. The
• .additional day of-the IBth century could apply
only to events which occured during that cen
tury. • ...
Suppose'England and this countty had not
adopted the New Style, till the present century
they would, then, have found it necessary to
omit 12 days. to bring their Calendar Into cor
respondence with Gregorian. Then, on the
mistaken principle just noticed, those 12 days
would be added to all past events indiscrimina
tely. and that would bring the landing of the
Pilgrims on the 23rd of December. On the
same principle the next century would bring it
to the 24th. and - so or,, advanCing a day, so
often as an additional day is dropped. So also,
the people of the U. S, ought; during this cen•
tury, to celebrate the sth of July, its , the anni
versary of their independence ; and nest centu
ry, the enh, and soon. And thus we should
return to all the inconveniences and errors of
the Old Style ; and by and by,' the anniversary
of the pilgrims Would come at mid-summer. and
that of Americin Independence in

The delay of England or any other nation to
adopt the New Style can never alter the date,
as long as time endures. If Russia should
. adopt the New Style to-morrow, she 'would, if
'she acted correctly, add 12 days to all the re-,
corded events of the, present century butte-none
others-11 to, those of the 118111---and 10 to - hose

to know the cause and probably cure of a dise;

the following may be deemed 01 some value :
A friend of mine who has lost many , valua
ble stock hogs lately had exhiusted all his reme

whether I knew any thing of, the diseases pre;
valent amongst the swinish class of mammilia
I replied in the negative. lie then told me
that if it were possible toiliscover a remedy it
would render incalculable benefit to the com•
munity of this western country who are so ex
tensively engaged in breeding hogs—to be bile!,
he flail Just,a pig the night before. I consen-t
ed to go with him and make a post.traortern ex.
emulation, the result of which tar follows :
The liver was in an intense state of sauguinons
congestion or - engorgement ; the duobenum, or
,upper portion of the intestines, highly infldin
ett, and, likewise a considerable patclf of the
stomach, but it was in the lungs that the dis
ease mainfested itself inost i distinctly : fur these
were in a state of suppuration and gangrene or
what is commonly called mortification—giving
way on the least handling.
My belief is that the immediate` and. exciting
cause may be a sudden transition from a warm
to a cold medium by atmospherical changes. or
removal from comfortable beds of straw to some
mote exposed situations--producing.. what
medical men term Pneumonia. This, there
fore, requires prompt and energetic measures,
which t am afraid the bristly race will never get
to lengthen their days till the hotelier's mallet
and knife seal their 1100 M.. Yet I would_ sug
2est, to your numerious subscribers (if it is
worth communicating) the following.treataient.
First, that when one of the family has the

their is vascular excitement, producing inordi

Glauber or: Epsom salts, and repeat it until it
operates, at - intervals of three or four hours ; and
after that give two, three, four or five grains of
Tartar Emetic, dissolved in a quarter of a pint
of thin gruel, every two hours until convales

never despair, for I can, attest to the value of
the last remedy given, from half a grain to two
grains every two hems fur pine days or two
weeks to human beings in Vie same disease,
and that without bleeding once. I do nut pro.

HEMORRHOIDS, OR PILES, is a disease produc
ed by local irritation costiveness, purgative stimu
lants, undue determrnation of blood to the hemorrhoidal
vessels by excessive riding or walking, or a congestive
state of the liver, and peculiarity of the constitution itself.
It is usually considered under three form, or varieties,
as follows: Blind Piles, White Piles, and Bleeding Piles'
This - disease is so common, and so very well known,
that a description of its symptoms is not deemed; neces
sary.
The success that has followed the use of the Embro
cation in the cure of this disrobe - , hav been trulyastonish

the only Pile Medicine.
In addition to its being a positiveremetly for the Piles,
it never fails to cure that INTOLERABLE ITCHING,
which is so very common, and has its- location in the
same parts as the Piles.

DR. WOOD'S SARSAPARILLA
.1.1"0 WILD capinr HITTERS.
FOR the permanent retrieval' of all such diseases as
take their rise in ; en Impure Blood, Impaired Di
gestion, Morbid state cif the Liver and Stomach, Weak
ness of the Nervous System, and a Disolded habit of
Constitution generally.
Dr. Wood's Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry Bitten
have already, by their. substantial . excellence, won a
degree of public favor and patronagq which puts them
beyond the need of recommendation. Being faithfully
prepared of the most excellent materials, they can be
fully confided in by all in need of a tonic, aperient or
'alternative remedy.
This preparation will be found on trial to be a aura
and speedy remedy for the diseases enumerated above.
They purify the blood, secure regular digestion, promote
a healty action of the Liver and Stomach, and strengthen
the nerves, at once securing health and vigor -to the
whole system. In all eases of despondency, arising
front indigestion or nervous irritation, they have been
used with remarkable success; nor are they less useful
as ti remedy for Headache, Flatulency, loss of Appetite,
and a gerierai,prostratzon . r f ' thesystenr. At the same
time it must be stated that they are neither violent nor
at all dangerous to their operation, securing as they do
the desired end, by-a steady; regular and easy influence.
Taken daily, in dosc i .inecribeil, they will be found to
operate in that gentle and salutary manner, which is, in
fact. their highest recommendation. That prejudice
usually existing against advertised. medicines, would
not be merited if bestowed on this. The wonderful
cures it laas performed and the acknowledged celebrity
of its principals constituents, should at once commend
it to the public Gear.

A Natural Remedy:
CAN confidently affirm that among medicines
. V
designed for general use, none stand higher in
popularestimition than
Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills.
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 I In them, we behold a signal triumph
of principle over prejudice and truth over defamation .
The principles upon which this celebrated metheine
is founded, are beautifully simple. t. 'Every one is aware
that, in a state of sickness, the stomach and bowels are
irregular and disordered. Of course, so long as they
centinueln that state, the food is badly digested, and
the blood, in consequence of being badly prepared, is
less fit for the proper support of health and life.—
Should the stomach and bowels continue disordered,
the mischief extends ; the corrupt humors collect tvon
that organ that is weakest and least able to throw them
off, and 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 had diges
tion, bad air, Injuriou-ly affecting the blood and lungs ;
unwholesome diet ; close confinement ; want of clean
liness; had habits; and many other causes ptoducetle
same result,
From this brief explanation, it will he seen that di.
ease, whetheritrises 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
Indnin - Vegetable Pills, adapted to cleanse the system
from the mass of impurities which oppresses it, is the
best thing that can he taken. But let us look into - the
sulject a little farther.
The public will have learned enough of the mysteries
of physiology and pathology to know that all medical
treatment is founded upon three laws of-the animal
economy. —Fi rst, that the blood circulates through, and
pros-ides support for the whole body ; second, that it
(the blood) ssendowed with vitality and aids in pulling
down and rebuilding the human edifice; and third, that
all calfseless.and injurious pa-ticles 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 tho blood,) depends the efficien
cy of medicine, fur it is' - well known that tho more
healthy the bosh is, the better do medicines operate
And upon the third. is founded the expectation of rid
ding the system adios° poisonous particles which arc
the cause of disease.
Now a medicine to he adapted to the human consti
tution moat regard these laws. It must circulate with
the blood. it must aid the vital principle. and like it
carry of the corrupt particles through each of the ap
pointet.rways. Wright's fudian Vegetable Pills were
prepared with reference to three laws, and hence ate
every way calculated to remove disease.
