ORIGIN OF ALMANAcKs.-The ancient
Saxon used to engrave upon certain
square sticks, about a foot in length,
the courses of the moons for the whole
year, whereby they could always GER
tainly tell when the new moons, full
moons, and changes should happen
and such carved sticks they called al
'rson-oght (aI moOn-heed, i. e. } the regard
OF observation of all the moons. There
is in St. Johns College, Cambridge, a
Saxon Almanacx, exactly answering to
the above description.
The " PATRooN." Duncan says that
Mr.. Van Rensselaer, of Albany, called
the PATRON, is reported TO be worth
seven millions of dollars, and that his
sway extends over population of &C
or 10000, of which about five thousand
are tenants. His political influence is
represented to be similar to that of the
great landed proprietors in England
but he seldom interferes with politics.

And every field for freedom fought,
And every moun'ain-height, where aught
OF liberty can yet be found,
Shall be our blooming harvest ground.

Thermopyle and Marathon;
On Bannockburn the thistle grows;
On Runnymead the wild rose blows;
And on the banks of Boyne, its leaves
Green Erin's shamrock wildly weaves.

The Fleur-de-lys and mignonette,
From every consecrated spot,
Where lies martyr'd Huguenot;

And many rocky height,
Bays, that our wales and mountains yield,
Where men have met to fight
For law, and liberty and life,
And died in freedoms holy strife.
Below Atlantic seas,-below
The waves of Erie and Champlain,
The sea-grass and the corals grow
In rostral trophies round the slain;
And We can add to form thy crown,
Some branches worthy thy renown.
Long may the chaplet flourish bright,
And borrow from the Heaven its light!
AS with cloud that circles round
A star, when other stars are set,
With glory shall thy brow be bound,
With glory shall thy head be crowned,
With glory-starlike cnctured yeti
For air, and earth and sky and sea,
Shall yield glorious wreath to thee.
