The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1866-09-08


on tomorrow Sunday evening, and is
perfect bissextile year of 3s5 days. The
months of which the Jewish year are com
posed are lunar, but since twelve lunar
months would fall short of solar year by
about eleven days, thirty three years would
carry back the beginning OF the year,
through all the four seasons, to the same
point again and thus an entire year would
be gained from the solar computation. To
obviate this however, every second or third
year an extra month has been added in,
which is called " I'e-Addr," or " Adar She
nce," Second Adar,) thus making the
leap year consist of thirteen months, OF
which 5627 is one. There are two great
New Years in Jewish computation. That
in Nissan, which is the beginning OF the
ecclesiastical year; and that in Tishrl,
which is the commencement of the civil
year, and the latter is the one which is so
soon to occur.
The two first days of Tishri are observed
in the most solemn manner, as they form
the anniversary Of several events. They
commemorate the creation of the world
from chaos, and rcmi.d us forcibly that
from nothing we sprung, and that all around
us is the handiwork Of the Great Ruler OF
Heaven and Earth. The second day is
the anniversary of the binding OF Isaac,
when tho Almighty tested ric faith and
constancy Of the great patriarch Asra-
ham. They are also the beginning of the
ten days of penitence, whereon we are
called by God to prepare for the great day
Of atonement, as it is only by humbling
ourselves in His presence, cOniessing our
| Il tbot 20
can hope for pardon for our transgrcssions.
| During the service on Monday and Tues
day the cornct is sounded, in accordance
with Numbers Y, 10, and j, calculated to
inspire us with awe, and bid us prepare for
that great day when "thc great cornet shall
! be sounded, and those shall come who are
lost in the land of ASsyra, and dispersed
in the land of Egypt, and they shall bow
themselves down before the Lord on the
Holy Mount in jerusalem"
The Yom kipur; or, great day of Atone
ment, will take place on the 10Th instant
but we will give an account Of this fast on
some other occasion.
