This month is the third of the year according to the Roman ed calend the ar. it a,) i .ears, that Romulus, when he divided the year, reckon this calVd it by the name ot his stippsed father, Mars; but seve ral nations of the Latium, adopted another order of months, as Ovid plentions in his Fasti." Pttrhaps this month was originally placed un iuer tite protection of the God of War, on account of the season becoming more fit fir :wi!Ae expeditions. The greatest part of the month is un tier Pisces, and on the COth, the S u n enters the sign 'fries, and an..k es the Vet !nal t quinox. 1. "isti E. R D DA ••••=l.lle EpiSt. F.phes. 5.1. Gasp.

The custom; of wearing leeks on that day is supposed to hive oriOnated from, and kept in re- Inen3br4ncr.of a great victory-obtained by the Welsh army over the Salon invaders, They seem to hive agreed before the battle, to lit leeks in their hate in order to be better known to each other in the affray ; this 4141)eing , ficcidentaPy at hand in a geld near the spot whett. the mighty . c; was to fat , 00, sad the only thug 04 Could taUll4l4 a to THF NATIONAL REGISTFX M ARM 1 answer their purpose.

The Roman mir ' tyrologisrs, give for this day, the names of two martyrs, St. Jovinus and St. Basileus. 1711. France had to deplore the death of Boileau Despreaux, the celebrated satyrist. His 46 Art Poetique," and his " Lutrin," will be read with interest and pleasure as long as the French language will be known in any part of the sorld. 1788.

Friday.-St. Victor and St. Victorious, _ martyrs. It must be ob fs. reed, that when the persecution raged under the direction of several emperors, numberless bodies of martyrs were thrown awa promiscuous or by name, bye whose tho ly, without being even k nown p ersonalll4 zeal picked them up , in the dark to give them a decent laurial, and to weep over them. Hence it happened , that when these anonymous bodies were found in the catacombs, as there was no doubt of their having suf fered death for the Christian faith, the popes successively gave them I ;name% in order that they might be placeil in the martyrology. Hence \ I also the similarity of names amongst martyrs. and often the simple no- I li ce taken of their companions and partakers in the glory of their death.
