The Days Of the Week

The division o! time into periods of sew.
en- days each was in use among the An.
cient Egyptians and Hebrews, and bor-
rowed by tie latter from the Mosaic ao-
count of creation. II according 10 some
modern philosophers, tha. account is of
uncertain origin, mere oriental myth,
then every successive week as it comes
is ar unexplained phenomenon. But
Christians and Mohammedans adopted
this division from the Hebrews; the Greeks
and Romans received it with the intro
duction Of Christianity after the reign of
Theodosus. The names Of the success
ave days were those Of the seven heaven.
ly bodies with which tho old Egyptian a..
tronomers were most familiar: The sun,
The moon and five planets, which, however,
they did not name as we do ia order of
their nearness to the sun, but successive.
ly, as Mars. Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and
Saturn. This institution OF the week.
though originating in the Old Testament
and propagated in the New, spread much
further and faster Than the truths on
which it was built; the Roman names Of
the planets and OF the days over which
they presided, were those OF their own d.
whites, and the Teutonic natious from
which we descend, while they retained
the sun and moon, substituted for the
other five days. the corresponding names
of their own mythology. Hence our En-
glish week is an early Jewish institution
with Pagan names; the suns day, the
moons doy. the Tuisec's day Woodcn's
day. Thor's day. Friga's day, Seater's
bay. 1t is remarkable that the week is
by the Brahminc astronomers,
ihe days being named from the same
planets and in the same order az that of
The Egyptians, but beginning with Friday.
Or the day OF Venus. The people of Chi
"a and Thibet have week OF five days.
named from what they consider the Eve
elements, iron, wood. water, feathers and
,arth.

Anecdote of Aaron Burr.

A writer in .he N. Y. Leader tells The
following.--
Burr was one of the most Intimate
friends Of Isaac Clason. He dined q, his
house every week.
The following annecdote was told mo
by the late John +. Delaplaine, the father
OF Isaac, our late Representative in Con.
gress. He was a son.in.law of Mr.. Cla.
son. and after his death was one of the
executors Of the estats.-
"Not long before bis DEATH" said Mr.,
Delaplaine, speaking Of Mr.. clasop, '.he
said TO Col. Burr at dinner, Il have a
knotty commercial affair, and do no,
know but l shall be obliged to employ
you or some o;Ler lawyer as counsel. Ii
l do, will SO advise you.' Col. Burr
irquired The names Of the parties, and
this was oil tha; passed between them up-
on the subjec. at that or any other time.
a few days after Col. Burr called at The
counting house Of Mr. Clason, and re.
marked that he was little short for few
days, and that il Mr.. Ciason would lend
bim $500 Tor a few days, he would be-
greatly obliged. Mr.. Clason drew check
Tor the sum needed, remarkipg. that Col.
Burr could return il when it suited him 10
do so. Not many months after this trans.
action Isaac Clason died. /, as his exec
utor, noticed this eutry of Indebtedness
upon his books for $500. II was noted
in the check- book margin as loan. Tho
idea flashed upon me that Col. Burr was
so notorious that he was highly danger.
ous character to be known to Young
merchant. Sill, it was duty I owed
.he estate to collect il. I determined u
look after it, and called in person upon
Mr.. Burr and stated the case. He re.
ceived me with great politeness, saying.
"Oh, yes-that little matter shall be al
tended to in few days recollec. all
about it," Tie next week Col. Burr
called upon me and presented bill
agains. the estate OF Mr.. Clason for sl 900
fees for the consultation (stating the easel
stated above, and crediiiug Mr.. Clason
$500. My idea tha! Col. Burr was dan.
gerous acquaintance proved true. Il
cost the estate $500. for 7 paid Col. Burr.

Be Manly.

Never try to keep out of any ones way
when you owe him anything. 1t is bad
enough, in all conscience. to be in debt ;
mako your condition no worse by growing
mean undor its pressure. When you can.
not pay up at the appointed time, don't
make believe sick, don't skuik about in out
OF the way streets to avoid meeting your
creditors, don't sneak around the irst cor
ner when you catch sight of him before he
has seen you. All such conduct is unmau.
ly. No doubt you feel averso to standing
face to face with mnn whom you owo-
pay day pas, and you the debtor s,ll-it is
mortityiDg, very but it is only ono of the
natural consequences of borrowing and, as
you have incurred the penalty. why, meet il
like man. Faco yous creditor, let him
know that you neither forget the debt nor
underrato his patience with you. Say
frankly that you are vory sorry to keep
him so long without his money, and that
you will pay mp as fast and as soon as you
possibly can.
This is the only creditable way TO conduct
yourself in the case. There is no respect
due to man or woman who, feeling una.
bic to meet their payments a. the proper
time, instead of going at onco and expain-
ing the reason why they fail, and doing and
saying oil they can to assure their creditors
that thoy moan nc dishonesty, just sneak
about carefully, anxious to shun the cred.
