liam the Conqueror having. been
drowned on the first day of January,
gave occasion to the English to begin
their year on that day, in order to
make it correspond with the most re.
markable date in their history.
Though the historical year begins
in England on the festival of the Cir
eumcision, or first day of January, on
which day the German and Italian
begins, yet the civil or legal year did
mot commence till the day of the An
nunciation of the Virgin, the 25th of
March. The part of the year between
those terms was usually expressed in
both these ways: either 1889 or ia
90. But by the act altering the style,
the civil year now begins with the 1st
of January. The old style followed
the Julian method of computing the
year, by the calendar established by
Julius Caesar, in which every fourth
year consists Of 366 days, and the
other years Of 365. This Julian ar
rangement Of time makes, as we have
seen, eleven minutes and some seconds
in year toe much. . Ssh .
Pope Gregory XIII. reformed the
calendar by retrenching ten days in
October, 1882, in order to bring back
the vernal equinox to the same day
as at the Council of Nice, A. D. 325.
This reformation was adopted by act
of Parliament in Great: Britain in the
year 1851, by which eleven days in
September 1852, were dropped, and
the third day reckoned the fourteenth.
This mode of reckoning is called new
style. Such was the fanaticism Of the
Puritans and other Protestants at that
time, that because the reform emana-
ted from the Pope, they denounced
the change, and said eleven days were
stolen from them. Many to this time

on which the festival would fall if the

ATHLETIC SPORTS.

Athletic sports and exercises, for a
whole generation past, have gone too
much into disuse. Our youth lack
muscle, vigor and strength. A puny

spindle shanks, broomstick arms and
sunken chests. Scarcely one of our
young men Of the present day, could
run a spirited race Of forty rods with
out getting the heaves for life, or jump
six feet on u level, without wrenching
himself terribly. Spirit and courage
are not lacking, but it would probably
all be defective in the hour Of trial
for want Of muscle and good wind.
The too prevalent bodily
