Dear reader. do you wish to know how
"Leap Year" first came about "No"
Well but you must-aad this is the way Of
it. When julius Cesar, that old Roman
fillibuster, Of whom you may have heard,
undertook to reform the computation Of
time, he ordained that the year should con.
sist OF 1865 days, except every fourth year.
which should consist Of 366 days-,he ad-
ditional day to be reckoned By twice soun-
Ting the Oath OF February, which was the
sirih caIend Of March, Hence the name,
from the Latin words, bis, twice. and
se1tilis, sixth. The calends (whence our
word calendar) or first day OF the month.
were reckoned backward 10 the ides thus:
the first day Of March was the first cal
end; the 2Slh Of February was the second
calend Of March; February 9th third, and
SO on.
The Julian Year, which by this rule
was reckoned ut 365 days and six hour,
was found not to be accurate, but to exceed
the length Of the solar year by l. minutes,
which e;r.or would in 13l years amount to
an entire day. it was. therefore, correc-
ted by Pope Gregory, in 1882, who re-
Tehched eleven days tI0m the !u'au co"'-
putation-beihg its excess OF gain over So
lar time. Out Of this correction has grown
the distinction between old style and new
style. The German or new style was in
PRODUCED into Germany in ITO, aud by act
'of Parliament into England l752-just one
hundred years ago-the I'd day of Sept.
%. S. of,hat year being reckoned as the
i4th n. 81 under the Georgian system
Although the name Bissextie is rSHed
with its obsolete import. we lnterca Iall {he
29th o: February every fourth ear for Lea p
Year, aud tor still greater accuracy. make
only one Leap Year, out of every four.
even centenary years, that is--the years
1900 and 1900 were not Leap Years; nor
will A. DN1900 be reckoned as one; but
the year 1000 will be Bissextils. And
that's the way Leap Year came TO be an
Constitution. Star.

THE MERRY SLEIGH.

RY LIEUT.. PATTON.
Jingle, jingle, clear the way,
lis the merry, merry sleigh,
As 1t swiftly scuds along,
Hear the burst of happy song;
See the CLEAN of glances bright,
Flashing Ger the pathway white
Jingle, jingle-how it whirls,
Crowded full of happy girls.
Jingle, iingle-fast it flies,
Shooting shafts from roguish eycsj
Careless archers I'll be bound,
Little needing when they woundI
See them with capricious pranks,
Ploughing now the drifted banks,
Jingle, jingle-'mid their glee,
Who among them cares
Jingle jinsle-on they flow,
Gaps and bonnets white with snow
And the faces swimming past
Nodding through the feecy blast
Not single robe they fold
To protect them from the cold.
Jingle, jingle-'mid the storm,
Fun and frolic keeps them warm.
Jingle, jingle down the hills,
Ger the meadows, past the mills,
Now it's slow, now tits fast,
Winter will not always last
Every pleasure has its time,
Spring will come and stop the chime.
Jingle, jingle-clear the way,
IT'S the merry, merry sleigh.
