How TO PLEASE IN CoMpANY.--The

liam the Conqueror having beer
crowned on the first day of January
gave occasion to the English to begin
their year on that day, in order tc
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
not 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 l748-9 or ia
9s. 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
|ycar, by the calendar established by
Julius Cesar, in which every fourth
year consists Of 366 days, and the
other years Of 365. This Julian ar
rangcment of time makes, as we have
seen, eleven minutes and some seconds
in q year too much.
Pope Gregory XIII. reformed the
calendar by retrenching ten days in
October, 1882, III order to bring back
the vcrnal 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 175l, 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 tha,
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
keep cold Christmas day. or the day
on which the festival would fall if the
EStyle was. not altered.

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

Preaching upon Popular Proverbs
The body is to die; SO much is GER
tain. What lies beyond? No one
who passes the charmed boundary
comes back to tell. The imagination
visits the realms Of shadows-sent out
from some window Of the soul over
hfe's restless waters, but wings it's way
wearily back with an olive leaf in its
beak as token of emerging life be-
yond the closely bended horizon. The
great sun comes and goes in Heaven,
yet breathes no secret Of the ethereal
wilderness; the crescent moon cleaves
her nightly passage across the upper
deep, but tosses overheard no message
and displays no signals. The sentinel
stars challenge each other as they
walk their nightly rounds, but we
catch no syllable Of their countersign
which gives passage to the heavenly
camp. Shut in! Shut in! Between
this and the other life is great gdl
fixed, across which neither eye moi
foot can travel. The gentle friend
whose eyes we closed ir their last
sleep long years ago, died with rapture
in her wonder-stricken eyes, smile o1
