Sometimes think the little ones

a little family in Detroit WHO are
heart broken and sad this Saturday
night. There were three last Satur-
day but to day there are.oniy two
left. The tie which bound them
mere closely than the one which the
clergyman drew has lately been
loosened and the light OF their lives
went out with the rad ~inssr sun on
ly the other night. The fether 10 =
railroad man waoee duty calls him
away from home three fourths OF the
time. 1t was his habit, whenever
he was about to otart for home, to
telegraph his wife, apprisiny her OF
the fact. In these kilograms he
never failed to mention the name Of
his little four year old, and the dis
patches usually ran as follows:
Tell Arthur ! will sleep with him
tonight
The baby boy was mighty proud
Of these telegrams, which his moth
er read to him, and he considered
the 'tcledraf' = great institution.
The other night when the fever had
done Its ~orS, and the mother was
sohbing out her anguish, the little
one turned calmly in his bed and
said:
Don't ky, mamma, sail s'eep

went up there without the clicking
Of wires or the rustic Of wings.

Why Easter Comes SO Early
This Year

Editors Tri6,me;-Wc see in the
NorHing NecS of the 23d ult,
bref item, purporting to give 4
reason why Easter Day came so
early this year. "rhey are calcu-
lated says the Nc5cs, "from the
cycle of the moon, and a thorough
understanding of the system requires
u considerable knowledge of the
Scriptures an of the higher math-
ema,ics to account for the divergence
of time in computing the festival of
Easter, which will not come so early
again till the year 1913"
We give this explanation for the
benefit of those who may wish to
learn something about it:
Easter is regulated by the Epact
or the age OF the moon on the lst
day of January. 1t falls on the
first Sunday after the full moon OF
the Vcrnal Equinox. The Epset is
the excess of the soar above the
lunar synodical month, day II
hours 3 seconds; and the excess Of
the solar year above the lunar synod
ica year is nearly II days. The
lunar year contains 354 days. The
/ Equinox is when the sun in his
progress passes through the Equator
in one Of the Equiuoctial points,
the day and night being equal all
over the globe. This occurs twice
IN the course OF the year; about the
2lst of March the Vernal Equin Z
occurs, and the 22d of September
the Autumnal Equinox, he Equi-
uoctial poiuts move backwards about
so seconds yearly, requiring 25,000
years to accomplish complete reyo-
luton. This is called the preces.
sion of the equinoXes, which is said
to have been observed bY the an
cient astronomers Easter Day may
be one Of the five weeks which com
mence with March 22d and end with
April 10Th. 1t can not be earlier or
later The best way TO calculate it
would be from the following East
er is the Sunday following the four
tcenth day of the Calendar Moon,
which happens up II, or next after
the 2lst of March; SO that if the
said fourteenth day be Sunday,
Easter il not that Sunday but the
next. We will give a fuller expla-
nation on this subject, viz, about
the Epact, Golden Number, Domin-
ecal Letter, etc, Of the Roman cal
chdar, which are used TO determine
the feast Of Easter, upon which the
other movable feasts Of the year de-
pend, in our next, for the benefit of
those who wish to learn all about
them.
For ourselves,w we have been bright
ening mp our arithmetic, by making
calculations according 10 the rules
and find that it will come again on
the 25th March, earlier than the
UoyUing Ners calculation, viz A.
/ ID. 1894.
