Easter.-The time OF this festival i. the
Sunday following the full moon that occurs
on or after the alst Of March. When the
moon fulls on Sunday, Easter is the following
Sunday. The time Of the next full moon
on the meridian Of about go degrees west
longitude from Greenwich, will be exactly
at midnight betwaen the l4th ard 18th inst.
In London time this will be about 4 O'Clock
on the morning Of the 18th; in Washington
Time, little before IL O'Clock on the even
ing OF the l4sh. The computation of the
civil day, commencing at midnight. it hap.
pens the present year, that. between the
meridians Of about 600 w. and 1900 E. of
London which includes Europe, Africa, and
The greater part Of Asia, the full moon oc-
curing on the 18th. Easter day will be the
22d. West Of the meridian of 600 w. Ion
gitude, which includes all North America &
the greater part Of South America, the full
moon occurring on the evening of the 18th.
Easter day will be the 18th. In these parts.
therefore, the true Easter day seiH be on the
18th Of represent month. By the ingenious
formula Of Gauss, however. by which it is
generally computed, Easter falls on the aga
instant to the whole world.
