ECLIPSES. In the year 1867 there will be four Eclipses—two of the Sun, and two of the Moon, I. —An annular Eclipse of the Sun, March 6th., invisible in Canada, II.—A partial Eclipse ofthe Moon, March 20th., visible in Central America. III.—A total Eclipse ofthe Sun, August 28th and 29th., invisible in Canada. IV.—A partial Eclipse ofthe Moon, August 13th., invisible in Canada.

The changes in the Moon's phases in this Almanac are calculated for Ottawa, but by allowing the following differences the times of change may be noted at other places, viz: London, C. W., 22 minutes, , 14 m. and Kingston, 2m. earlier; Montreal 10m., and Quebec 16m. later than Ottawa time. .

1867.] THE SUN.

THE SUN-THE ZODIAC—THE YEAR.

The Sux regulates the beginning, duration and ending of the year. There is nothing in the Heavens to mark the beginning or ending of any season—the beginning or ending of the year, for instance. A year is a division of time which has been observed from early ages. The length of the year in early was unknown, and many attempts were made to discover its true ages length ; and in fact it required all the learning of astronomers for many centuries to determine the length

of the year ; and till this was determined, no accurate rules could be laid down for the measure- ment of time.

Early observers noted the path of the Sun, and remarked that it took a certain number of days in his journey from being in one particular position in the Heavens till it returned to the same; or nearly the same, position again. An imaginary circle was traced out as the Sun's path, and it was observed that it passed many clusters or particular groups of stars, twelve of which were particu- larly noticed, and the outline of some objects having reference to the state of the Earth—the labor of the husbandman, hunting, &c.—at the particular time of the Sun's passing through them, was drawn so as to include each group. The circle thus traced out was called the Zodiac, because the greater number of the divisions, or clusters, or constellations into which it was divided were those of animals ; it was also called the animal's circle, and the twelve constellations are called the twelve signs of the Zodiac, and to each of these signs is affixed a character. It is now uncertain who invented the Zodiac ; but there are reasons for supposing that it may have originated with the

Assyrians. The signs are represented by the goat, Capricornus ; the water-bearer, Aquarius ; the fisher, Pisces ; the ram, Aries ; the bull, Taurus ; the twins, Gemini ; the crab, Cancer ; the lion,

Leo ; the virgin, Virgo; the balance, Libra; the scorpion, Scorpio ; and the archer, Sagittarius.

At the beginning of the year the Sun appears to be travelling in Capricornus, from whence it passes into Aquarius, and thence into the other, each sign corresponding to one of the months. The year is thus divided into twelve parts, aud these are again grouped into four periods, namely : Spring, from the time of the Sun entering the sign Aries, when the days and nights are equal all over the world, passing through Taurus and Gemini. Summer includes Cancer, Leo, and Virgo, and reck- ons from June 21st, which is the Summer solstice— solstice from sol, the Sun, and sto, to stand the Snn appearing to stand still at the time of the solstice, and the days to be nearly the same length tor a few days before and after. Autumn includes Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius ; and Winter includes the time the Sun is in Capricornus, Aquarius and Pisces, and includes the period of three months from the 21st of December, the day of the Winter solstice.

The year is therefore the duration of time during which the Sun passes through the twelve de- grees of the Zodiac. The time is now known to be 365 days, 6 hours and 49 minutes, nearly. The ordinary year is considered to consist of 365 days it is therefore too short by nearly ; six hours ; and if every year was considered 365 days, it would lead to great confusion ; for instance, in pro- cess of time, the vernal equinox would happen upon every day of the civil year. Now, four times 6 hours is 24 hours, and therefore to keep the year nearly right, every fourth year has one day added to it, or, it has 366 days. This year is called Bissextile, or leap year, and makes up the loss,

but does not correct the year exactly ; six hours every y«ar is too much by 11 minutes, so, in every four years the excess amounts to 44 minutes, or to a whole day in 130 years. We are indebted to Julius Caesar for this arrangement, and consequently this year is called the Julian year. This additional day every four years is called an intercalary day. It was formerly ordered to be added on the 24th of February, which was the sixth day (sextile) before the calendar, or 1st day of March. The 24th day was counted twice (bis) and thus we have the origin of bissextile. It is now always added to the month of February, which month in leap year contains 29 days. This mode of reck- oning continued for 1292 years, to the year 15S3, and the year began ten days later than it ought to have done ; consequently the seasons were wrong with respect to the months, and the equinoxes and solstices happened ten days before their respective days. The vernal equinox, for instance, on March 10. Very great inconvenience followed. It affected the times fixed for Easter and other moveable feasts, and very many were the attempts to make it right. In 1582 Pope Greg- ory XIII gave an order that after the 4th of October, ten days should be omitted, so that the day following the 4th of October was called the 15th. By this means the then error of which, in the interval between the years 325 and 1582, represented very nearly the accumulation of errors arising THE MOON. [1867.

from the excess of the Julian correction of six hours, was rectified. In order to correct the calendar for future years it was arranged that at certain periods the intercalary day of the Julian correction should be omitted. Thus the years 1700, 1800, 1900 are, according to the Julian correction of the calendar leap years, being divisible by four, but in these years the intercalary day is to be omitted ;

they are to be common years. The year 2000 is to be leap year, with 366 days ; 2100, 2200, 2300 are not to be leap years, and so on for succeeding centuries. This mode of keeping the calendar nearly correct is very simple. It corrects the inaccuracy arising from the Julian correction by omitting the intercalary days in the space of 400 years. It is interesting to ascertain the error yet remaining. It amounts to 2h. 15m. 15s. nearly in 400 years, or one day in 4237 years. It is not worth while to make any further arrangement to correct this, as neglecting it the error will be less than one day

till the year 5819. In honor of Pope Gregory this form is sometimes called the Gregorian year. It was at once adopted in all Catholic countries, but in England the change was not iatroduced'till the year 1752> when the error amounted to eleven days, and an Act of Parliament was passed that eleven days should be omitted in the month of September. In 1752, on September 2nd, the Julian method ceased, and the next day instead of being called the 3rd was called the 14th, aud at the same time the 1st of January was declared to be the 1st day of the year. Russia still retains the Julian method, and since the eleven days were omitted the Sun has gained another day, so that there are now twelve days differencnce between Russian dates and our own, or between the old and new styles.

THE MOON" -HER PHASES—LUNAR MONTH—LUNAR YEAR.

The Moon like the planets, is the an opaque body, shining by the light she receives from Sun ; if she shone by her own light she would always appear full. Her average distance from the Earth

is about 239,000 miles, and this would be her constant distance if she moved in a circle ; but, in consequence of her orbit ot revolution being elliptical, she is at times 13,000 miles nearer, when she is in perigee, and 13,000 miles further, when she is said to be in apogee. In consequence ot this revolution round the earth she is at times in a straight line joining the Sun and the Earth and

between these bodies. In this position she is said to be in conjunction with the Sun, and as her

dark side is towards the Earth we cannot see her, and it is new moon. When in her path round the Earth she is removed a little from the line joining the Earth and Sun, we see a very small portion of her illuminated surface, as a streak of light, in the shape of a beautiful crescent. As she advan- ces in her course round the Earth this crescent momentarily increases till she completes one-fourth part of her revolution. Then we can see one half of her illuminated surface, but half is still hidden from us. At this stage of the Moon's course she is said to be entering her First Quarter. As she

still further advances around the Earth, the bright part increases till, when she has completed one

half of her course , and when she is in the line joining«the Sun and the Earth continued beyond the Earth, we see the whole of her surface enlightened, and it is Full Moon, the Second Quarter. In this position the Earth is situated between the Moon and the Sun, and she is said to be in opposi- tion to the Sun. After this she removes from the line joining the Earth and the Sun, and we see

less and^less of her enlightened side till, on completion of three-fourths of her revolution, we see her again as a Half-Moon. This is the Third Quarter ; constantly then the angle between the lines joining the Earth and the Moon, and the Earth and the Sun decreases, and less of her bright

surface is seen and more of her dark surface is presented to us, till again the whole is dark, when

there is no anede between the line joining the Earth and the Moon, and it is New Moon again. The length of time in which the Moon passes through the Signs of the Zodiac is about 27d. 8h ; but between one New Moon and another, or between one conjunction of the Sun and Moon and another, is a little more than 29)^ days—forming a lunar month. The Moon is much smaller than the Earth. It would require fifty globes the size of the Moon to make one of the same magnitude as the Earth. Passing through the whole Zodiac in her monthly course, she approaches and passes remarkable stars and planets, by which means these stars and planets may become generally known. Some nations still make the year to consist of twelve lunations. This is called the lunar year ; it con- tains 354 days, and is, consequently, shorter than the solar year by eleven days. This method was adopted by the Jews at a very early period. The Jewish year is, in fact, a lunar solar year. The

months are lunar, being founded on the lunar cycle of nineteen years ; "every nineteenth year, — —

1867.] THE MOON.

therefore, they come to the same date in the solar year. The lunar cycle contains 225 lunations,

which are divided into twelve years of twelve months and seven of thirteen months ; the latter are termed cmbolismic, that is, intercalated. The Jewish year is of three kinds—perfect, imperfect? and common. The perfect year has 355 days, and is when the Months Hesvan and Kislev have each thirty days. The imperfect year has 353 days, when the months Hesvan and Kislev have only 2'.) days. The common year has 354 days, when the month Hesvan has 29 and Kislev 30 days. The modern Jews have an additional month in each seven years out ^f every nineteen, and add nothing to the other years. The year with this month is called embolisraic. It is formed by introducing an intercalary month following Adar, or second Adar, and is called Veadar. The cmbolismic year will consist of 385, or 384, or 383 days, according to the above. The month Veadar is introduced at that period of the year for the purpose of keeping Passover in its proper season, which is the Full Moon of the' Vernal Equinox, or after the Sun has entered Aries; it is indifferent at what

period the Full Moon happens ; but it must be kept whilst the Sun is in the sign Aries. The Jew-

ish months are :

In cmbolismic years Adar has 30 and the month Veadar 29 days. As a lunation is about 29% days, the arrangement of 29 and 30 days alternately is very good. When a month has 30 days, the last day of that month and the following day are both kept as New Moons, on the principle that a holiday cannot be kept part of a day, the 30th being being half in the preceding lunar month, and half in the following month or day of New Moon. The whole day is made a holi- day ,*aud the following, as a matter of course, from its being the first whole day of the New Moon. These arrangements are very ancient. The ancient Egyptian year consisted of twelve mouths of thirty days, with five intercalary days at the end. The ancient Greeks calculated their year by lunar periods of twelve months, of 29 and 30 days alternately, with an intercalary month in six years out of the nineteen of which the lunar cycle consisted.

8 WISE SAYINGS. 1867.]

Let reason guide you at all times, even in the most ; Example works more than precept; for words with- nnimportant things.—Pythagoras. out practice are but counsels without effect.—Palmer

It is better to be poor and not have been wanting in Be discreet in your discourse, but much more in your

discretion, than to attain the summit of our wishes by actions ; the first evaporates, the latter endures for* a loose conduct.— Diogenes. ever.—Phocylides.

PHILOSOPHY IN A NUT SHELL.

Apes remain Apes though you clothe mem in velvet. It is easy to preach fasting with a full belly. A single penny fairly got, is worth a 1000 that are not. It is well to fly low on account of the branches. A fence between makes love keen. Ill luck comes by pounds and goes away by ounces. A well-fed man does not believe in hunger. It's a very proud horse that will not carry his oats. A wise man does at first what a fool does at last, I stubborn and you stubborn, who is to carry the load. A foolish woman is known by her finery. Kisses are the messengers of love. A friend is known in time of need; tree often is with fruit. A transplanted never loaded Locks and keys are not made for honest fingers. A bad workman never finds a good tool. Let us have dollars and we shall haye friends. As you would have a daughter so choose a wife. Love rules his kingdom without a sword.

Better a slip of the foot tongue. than of the Money is a good servant but a bad master. Bad is the sack that will not bear patching. Measure three times and cut once. Beauty and folly are often companions. Man carries an enemy in his own bosom. Better to-morrow, have an egg to-day than a hen Man proposes and God disposes. Better go to bed supperless than run into debt, Many kiss hands they would fain see chopped off. Buyers want a hundred eyes sellers one. Be silent or say something better than silence. No one ever became poor through giving alms Beauty scent. without virtue is like a rose without Never give the skin when you can pay with the wool. Before you salt with him. make a friend eat a peck of No one likes justice brought home to his own door. Blame a friend's faults don't notice them. but Nothing falls into the mouth of a sleeping fox. Better twice remembered than once forgotten. No one is so liberal as he who has nothing to give. Better suffer for the truth than prosper for falsehood. Nobility of soul is better than that of birth.

Conscience makes of us all. cowards Old friends and old warp should not be cast off. Could a man foresee events he would never be poor. One beats the bush, another catches the bird. Conscience is as witnesses. good as a thousand One fool always finds a greater fool to admire him. Christmas day comes once a year. On a fool's beard the barber learns to shave. Contentment is the true Philosopher's Stone. Our neighbor's children are always the worst. One take-this is better than two thou shalt-haves. Disputing and borrowing cause grief and sorrowing. One hand washes the other, and both wash the face. Dogs that bark much are never good for hunting. Drop by drop wears away the stone. Promises make debts, and debts make promises. Do not tell your secrets behind a wall or hedge. Pitchers that go oft to the well are broken at last. Dung is no Saint ; but where it falls it woiks miracles. Poverty does not destroy virtue nor wealth bestow it. Do what say well, ill. I and not what I do Pride went out on horseback and returned on foot. Do what you ou&ht, come what may. Promising is not giving, but serves to content fools.

Example is better than precept. Revenge converts a little right into a great wrong. Every one feels his own burden. Riches cause arrogance; poverty meekness. Enjoy your little whilst the fool is seeking more. Revenge a hundred years old has still its milk teeth. Every man's friend is every man's fool. Eggs and oaths are easily broken. Satan tempts all, but the idle tempt the Devil. Every one should sweep before his own door. Speaking comes by nature, silence by understanding. Even the Lion must defend himself flies. against the See a pin, let it lie, you'll want a pin before you die. Even the best hack stumbles once. See and say nothing if you would live in peace. Every one stretches his leg according to his coverlet. Soon gained is soon squandered. Spit not in the well; you may have to drink the water. Fools build houses, wise men buy them. Saying is one thing doing is another. Fools ask whafs o'clock, wise men know their time. Fortune can only take from us what she gives us. The blunders of Doctors are covered by the earth. Fair flowers do not remain long bv the way-side, To the jaundiced all things seem yellow. Fire in the heart sends smoke into the head. The rich man has more relations than he knows. The gossips quarrel and tell each other truths. God helps those who help themselves. Truth may be suppressed but not strangled. God does not smite with both hands. Through being too knowing the Fox lost his tail. Good words and bad acts deceive both wise ami simple. The tongue of a bad friend cuts more than a knife. The sheep that is too tame is sucked by many lambs. He that despises the little is not worthy of the great. Think much, say little, write less. He who slanders his neighbor makes a rod for himself. The beard does not make the philosopher. pulls at a He long rope who desires another's death. To be content, let twelve pennies pass for a shilling. He who builds by the roadside has many surveyors. He who has two masters to serve must be false to one. Without bread and wine even love will pine. High houses are generally empty in the top story. When a man is down everybody runs over him. He who a has bad tongue should have good loins. Who would have many friends let him test but few. Who the daughter would win, with ma must begin. It is a great art to laugh at your own misfortune. When law lacks, honor should eke it out. If you would make a thief honest, trust him. What the eyes see not, the heart rues not. His only good bargains that ruin. Wash a dog, comb a dog. still a dog remains a dog. In the mirror we see our form, in wine our heart. Willows are weak, yet serve to bind bigger wood. It is the bait that lures, not the fisherman or rod. Young people must be taught, old ones honored. 1867.] POST OFFICE REGULATIONS.
