'fhe origin p or derivation of this name Alma
pac is a matter of dispute among the learned.-L
-ome-consider it: a plain derivation from the
'Arabic alma4aclt, (Heb roanah) which signifies
to tortnt,—reckane-L-deftne.—point out. : -
others contend, that it is of German origin. de

the Saxons used the word, almonaught, which
they applied to a block of wood, on which
they' had traced the annual course of the moon.
Here 1 hale given you two of the . moat plausi
ble opinions of the origin of the word; and
.where doctors LlB:agree, each must decide for
himself.
But the word Cheddar, or as it should be
written Kalendar. which is applied to the regis
ter of the tfOisions of the year, into months,
weeks and days, is of similar import. and more
obvious origin. While the Romans were desti
tute of such a register regularly drawn tip. it
wait made the duty of the pontifer maximus.
or high priest, to go forth on the Ist day of
every' month. .and proclaim (in their language,
calor.) its commencement. with all the lestivals
that would occur in 14 and the time of the new
moon. Hence ihe first day of every' month
I prasstyled the calends (Weida) of that
mont - h. Froth this term, no doubt, the ovoid
Killendar was derived.
The diurnal revolution of the earth skull its
own axis. every 24 hoo.rs, constitutes the first
natutal divisions of time, which is called a
natural day. The *hermits presence and ab
sencellof the sun,. during a single revolution.
produce the obvious diffinetion of day and
night., This is the first and Meat natural division
of titoe. .
The_aeptenary division of day; into weeks,
has no 'foundation in nature, and therefore, its
almost universal adoption. among all nations,
can be accounted lint, only on the priociple of
tradition derived from -the progenitorS, of the
human race, who received it ci a . positive pre-
kept from heaven. The idea that "this might
have been derived from the phases of the moon.
Is 'wholly untenable. For. not only does the
lunar month continually vary from the period o
4 weeks, but who would undertake to determine,
by the eye, the dividing line between the several
phases of the moon i The division of each
hniation into quarters - is the result of nice afire,
nothical calculations, and is utterly beyond
the ken of many , nations, in which the septenary
division of tune 'has obtained.
The division *of the year into months is very
readily suggested , by the diversified phase of the
moon, winch go thritmgh their regular succession
in about 29'1-2 days. A single revolution of
the moon• from a given point in the heavens. (as
a fixed star.) around the earth to the same point
again, is indeed made in 27 days, 7 hours, 43
1
minutes, and 8 seconds. But as the earth 4s,
at the same time moving with it. in the s e
direction around the sun. the moon must :pass
.a considerable distance further, before it comes
:jup with the earth.
This you may readily understand try look
ing at the two - hands of a clock when they are
exactly together at the hour 'of XII. The
minute hand then makes a whole circle around
the face of the clock in exactly 60 minutes.
Hot it has to_run a little over 5 minutes more,
before it can overtake or be in Fonionetion with
the hourliand, as it was at XII. And just so
at every other hour. Thus it makes 12 nitro
lotions around the face of the clock, white the
hour hand goes once around. In like manner.
the moon has to nin 2 day* 6 hours. -and 1
minute, beyond a complete revolution, to come
up with the earth.) These added to the former
. sum make the monlhly period of the moon,
from one change tb another, (which is called
its synodical month,) exactly 28days, 12 hours
and - 44 minutes. .
Now if you miihip/y the time of one lunation
by 12, (the number of months) the result es
354 days, 8 hours and 48 minutes, which falls
nearly 10 days abort of a solar year ; or one
revolution of the earth around the sun, which
contains 365 days. 5 hours. 48 minutes, 47.6
seconds.
- Hence, You plainly perceive that 12 lunar
months most to, short of 12

about 10days and 21 .hours. But in the course of
19 solar years, this moon perfot me 235 complete
revolution., so or to return to nearly the same
point again, on the same day of the month.—
Thus there wait a new moon Jan Ind 1832
—and the new Union wilt recur again on the
2nd of „I an.'in the year 1851. Hence the pe.
rind of 19 yeartpo called the cycle of the union.,
the word cycle being used to indicate any period
of years, in which a series of fevirts recurs to
to the same point, from which it bad Previously
commenced. and - then proceed. in the same
replier order. The yea the moon's progress

following rule..
Add 1 to the given year and divide the sum
by 19:-..the remainder will be the Golden
Number;; except. if 0 remain. \hen 19 is the
Golden Number." The discovery of the cycle
of the moon , when made in Greece was consi.
deged such an achievement. that its order was
engraved in letters of gold at Athens. and hence
originated the name of die Golden Number.—

This you have already seen, would occur every,

every 4th year (eseept at the ear{ of 3 out of 4
centuries) is a leap-year, this ran take place
only in 4 times 7of 28 years. Thus: January

You will readily perceive, .that the omission
of a leap-year. at the close of 3 out of 4 centuries
must necessarily produce an occasional interrup

brought the 4th of March on the Sabbath ; and
the same will lie the cape. at re-gularfetiods of
28 years, through the present century. viz. in
1849 and 1877. But this was not the ease in
1793. nor will it be in 1908: The reason is
obvious. The omission of the heap-year. at
the end of the last century. sent the Dominica!
Letter bark one step ; and the same will be the
effect of omitting another intercalary day, iat
the end of the present century. • Hence you
will find, if you will take the trouble to eaten

and will be the Dominica% for 1908. instead of

Year, in the Julian Calendar, and the first day
of January was Monday. Hence, while that

EXPERIMENTS IN PLANTINO.—The at/vantages
of free admisseion of light. and free circulation
of air, to the growth of plant", are in a good
degree obvious to persons o any experience in
agriculture. So important ire there influences
to Indian corn. that an advantage is known to
result from giving the widest space to rows
running north and south. This more readily
admits the light and heat of the sun, than rows
running in a contrary direction. It has been
suggested that planting torn and potatoes in
altimative rows, or in alternations of two rows
each, rould give a greater aggregate product
fur a given extent of land, than if each crop
_were planted entirely by itself. Experiments
have been 'nude in Massachusetts for a few years
past, tinder the direction of the Plymouth
county agrieltural society, and the results so
far indicate considerable advantage , in favor of
alternate planting. Mr. Nathan.' Whitman.

A drunkard who had rtm through his pro.

was gnawing et his heartstrings, and language
is-inadequate to express his Agony as he en.

the victims offal@ appetite—his loie/y wife and
darling child. Morose and sullen, he seated
himself witholit a word—he could not look up
on them. The mother - said to the litticangel
by her side,
" Come, my child, it is time to go to bed,!'
and that little babe as was, her wont, knelt bb
her mother's lap-, and gazing wishfully into titre
face of her suffering parent, like 'a piece of
chiselled statuary, slowly repeated her nightly
orison : and when she had brindled, the child
(bit four years of age) said to bet mother,

pills, as the public know that Dr. Smith's are the original
and genuine. Several instances have come to public
notice in which life bat been endangered by tht unfortu

that are doing so much good in the country—as the
following plainly allow.

____A_
A Natural Remedy.
UTE CAN conthlendy affirm that among medicine*
V designed for general ago, none stand higher in
popular estimation than
.•
Wright's ladiaa Vegetable Pills.
Hardly a day passes but we receive testimonials in th i ir
favor, and the most erttbartiastic are those who h e
longest used them. What letter prove .of est:elle ce
i f
could we ask ? In them, we behold • signal triumph
of principle over prejudice end truth over defamation.
%The principles upon which this celebrated medicine
is founded, ire 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 food is badly digftted , ind
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 extends ; the corrupt humors collect upori
that organ that is weakest arid least able to throw them
oft, 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 bad diges
tion, bad sir, injuriemaly affecting the blood said lungs :
unwholesome diet; close confinement ; want of clean
liness; bad habits; and many, other causes pitsince 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 mass of impurities which oppresses it, is the
best thing that can be taken. ut let us look into the
subject a little farther.
00 4 ree
rho public will have learned nougb of the mysteries
of physiology and pathology t know that all medical
treatment is founded upon laws of the anintsf,
econojny. —First, that the bl . circulates through, and
ili
provides support for the whole body ; second, that it
(the blood) is endowed with vit Illy and aids-in pu ll ing
down and rebuilding the hums edifice; and third, that,
E.!
all causeless and injurious 'pal/ es are ejected by one
of four outlets, either the skin , 1 ngs, kidneys or bowels.
Upon the first of these laws, (t e circulation,) is found
ed
the hope of reaching remote, arta of the system, for
the purpose • of, removing I 1 disorder. Upon the
second, (the vitality of the b) ,)•ilepentis the efficien- °
cy of medicine, for it is well known *hat the more 11 '
healthy the body is, the bette r o medicines operate
And upon the third. 6 found the expectation of rid
ding the system °filmset poisonous particles which are •
d
the cause of disease. '
Now a medicine to be adapted to the human coned ! .
tution must regard these laws. It must circulate with
the blood. it must aid the vital principle, and like it
carry off the corrupt pellicles through each of the ap
pointed ways• Wright'. Indian 'Vegetable Pills were
prepared with reference to these laws, and kence are
livery Way calculated to remove, disease.
