_the subject of Education,

speik 7 -suffice it to say, the 'effort was worthy
of. his distinguished reputation. 'The special
- Weal, of this paragraph is, however, to call
attention to some important remarks casually
drizipped by the Rev. gentleman, in conversa
tion with the writer ; the purport of which
was, that through the medium of - the
newspaper press, ministers and literary men
might greatly extend their influence upon the
public mind. A column of most papers, he
observed, might readily be controlled - try a
judiciou!..wnter, so as to advance the inter
ests of literature,. science, or morals. The
idea struck the writer very favorably.. Corn

uon may not be without effect. K.

fret the Where,: Jzurnaij
JAN. 1, 1850, WAS THE MIDDLE OF
• TELE iviEticsictik CENTUWV.
As several editors, in many parts of our
Country, haveaffirmed that Jan. 1, 1851 will I
be the middle of the century,_ we must ap
peal to authority. We find that the year of
our Lord twelve indicated that twelve years
were completed. • As this was so, the year I
1850 indiCates that 1550'y ears are now com
pleted. Now for tee proof respecting the
year twelve : In. the margin of the Bible, op
posite to the forty-second verse, of the 22d
Chapter of Luke, twelve is themurnber that
marks the year. ,But the verse tells us that
twelve years had ended, and consequently
the 13th had commenced. « When Jesus
was twelve years old," &..c. Consequently,
Jan. 1, 1850, the number of the year, indi
cated that 1850 years were completed. The
fraction over will not be counted, except by
months and days:till it will have amounted
to three hundred and sixty-five days. Then
(—the Ist of next lanuary— • ) 1851 years
will have been-completed. Is not this can
elusive ? USAGE has sanctioned the practice
of calling the current year by the number of
the last year completed. Hence, at the end
of 1899 years, the increasing fraction of
months and days, making up the hundreth
year, will be called the year 1899, till the
twelve months will have ended. Then the
Ist of January, 1900, Will be the beginning
of the twentieth century. Our Savior was
in his thirty-fourth year when he was cruci
fied ; but the year is called, in all chronolo
gical tables, and on the margin of the Bible,
the year 33. This is 'the usage of Histo
rians.
Many- quotations can be produced from the
most eminent writers. One -from Hume's
England' will-suffice. lie has occasion to
speak of the taking of Jerusalem in 1099.
[For a full account of the siege and assault
see Gibbon, 4th rel. year 10g9.1 N . C.TI7
Hume, in speaking of the time of this event,
in the Ist•chapter of Henry' 1., sacs: • 4 This
great event happened on the sth of July, in
the last year of the eleventh century." In
every century, therefore, the year 99 is the
List year. Hence we have so often heard
that Gebige Washington died the last
month of 'the las; year of the last century."
George Washington died the 14th of Decart
.ber, 1799.
How abundant is the proof that January
'1:, 'lB5O, was the middle of the nineteenth
century. ,1

ABOUT MUSIC
Mr. Bannan
While our Community highly appreciate
is,ood.music, it is much to be regretted that
it is not more generally cultivated.' Our ;
young people, especially - , lose a great deal
of the pleasures and enjoyments of social in
tercourse by their neglect to cultivate their
talents and taste in this respect. Let usjn-
Courage more of Moral and Sacred Songs; and
less of the trashy Popular Nigger sort;
the moral tendency of which, to say the
lease, is perhaps *doubtful, and forms the
ground of objection: urged by some against
the utility of all music, except a few Psalm
or limit, tunes.
The hints .contaiued in the following, ex
tract of a, speech delivered by a gentleman
in the city 'of Providence, 1. 1., not long
since, is...applicable, perhaps, as well here as
elsewhere :
Young Ladies, it 'Vs your privilege to possess, In a
pre-eminent M'sgree, She most heart-tnuching tones of
the human voice. The finest sensibilities of human
nature. the totter pasaions, nod the most subdtiing
and soothing- breatlongi, of• the soul. are peculiarly
yours. Cultivate, then. your sweet voices, and let
sacred songs Itecome 'the life and delight of your so
eta Intercouse, and you will do more to banish lions
Society the fashionable eirets v of the present day, than
anything else, beside. Let nickel and sacred music he
heard in ymir little circles and parties of pleasure,
and you will exert a most mstent,and happy it flnence
over your associates. The hreniti of intellWeinnce
could not endure such pure breathings of the so hi
The lips prnJuied with profanity. could find- no place
in such society. Every young man would feel, that
in order to participate In ;he enjoyments of such in
-tercourse, the taste must.he refined and the heart Im

mighty moral power with which God has endowed
them—that they would cultivate their voices, and by
the enchantments of sweet mu is stay the progress
'of viceNhrouglinut our land. Thelreweet, enchanting
str.iins might allure the youthful inebriate, not yet
lost.to all good Influences, froi., the hututts of destruc

THE 'PROP,OSED. LINEAL
INIIERITA'CE TAX
TOWNSEND HAINES, Esq., the Secretary
of State, and Superintendent of Common
Schools, has recommended a tax on Lineal
Inherztancrs for school purpose`. It is to be I
hoped, that if the Legislature adopt this sug= I
gestion, they=tcjll riot smuggle the tax into
some bill, the title of which will give no in-
dex of_ its contents, but Will give to the lawl
its proper title.. viz: "An Act to tax the'l l
Widows and Orphans of Pennsylvania." The
true character of the tax and law will then be
known, and the Memberi who vote for it, I
will then have a fair opportunity of ascer
taining whether their constituents, in the
languaie of the Report, 'after a calm and I
sober - judgment- 7 looking to the end, and un
prejudiced by personal - considerations, will
consecrate the;r decision."--When the father,
of a family, is removed by death;, the widow
anti children feel what no one else can feel,
`that the Estate (left by him,Without whom,
the widow would not have the children
which then, depend upon her alone,) is but
an inadequate substitue, for the continued
exertion of the husband and father. It is
now proposed by Mi.,HAINEs, to tax the share
Of the:wido* and%children, after the debts
are paid. Her urges as a reason, that as no
complaint is nbw made of'the charges that
attend the settlement of the Intestate s Estatm, it
would , be right to add the Tax to them; and
that the people will not.feel it. If Mr. Haines
means by "the people," those only who have
.no votes, he may be right. Orphans seldOm
have votes, and widow's never ; - they can
safely be' oppressed, their low wailing when,,
they see their little all made less by this tax,
wilt:never be heard by the public ; their in-''
fluOce will not be felt in the election, and
therefore their interests may be disregarded.
Truly, one would suppose that the whole of
the Superintendents argument had been sug
gested by the saying so common among
School boys, "hit him again, he has tin
friends:"—Tax property; lay a poll tax on
the living man, and no one can have cause
to complain—but do not add to the heavy bur
then of the Widow and the fatherless.

as well as instructed his hearers. • He spoke
of the location of Egypt,, of her Nile and its
annual rise-I-her crops, and her power to
sustain her millions, and in time of dearth
the neighboring nations who flocked to
her, the then 'granary of the world, for
corn—of her city, of Alexander,. and its fa
vorable position as a • seaport, the seven
mouths of the Nile forming commodious ac
commbdation for her vessels—of the 'Alex

Cairo, her city of Palaces—of the Pyramid
of Cheops and 'the surrounding Pyramids—
of Pompey's pillar—of Thebes, her city of
one hundred gates, and one thousand armed
men for each gate—of her god MensoN, her
Sphynx and other gods—and .of.her city of
the dead
.;—he dwelt on. Prophecies of
Isaias and Esekiel. concerning that Counny,
and showed that those prophecies could be

I have prescribed the Oil in above four hundred cases
• . urculous disease of, the Lungs. in dill tent
stages, which have been under my tare the last two
-years and a half. In thelargo Dumber of cases, 206
out of 231, its use wits followed ..hy marked and un
equivocal improvement, varying in degree In different
cases, from a temporary retardation of the progress of
thedisease, and a mitigation .1 disiressing symplomr,
up to a more or less complete restoration to apparent
health.
"The effect of Cod Liver 011 in most of these cases
watevery-remarkable. Even in a few days the cough
was mitigated, the egpertoration diminished In quanti
ty and opacity, the night sweats ceased, the pulse be
come slower, andof hem:. volume, and the appetite,
flesh and strength wero. gradually Improved.
' conclusion, I repeat that the pure fresh oil from
the Liver of .the Cod Is more beneficial In the . treat
