piyiding-Line of Day.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Please state where IS the dividing-line
Of the day. and on what part Of the
globe it takes place-the change in re
ference to the calendar day.
For further explanation Of my ques-
ton. / will say, for example:
Being here II \. NJ. of Sunday, 22d OF
September, IL we could travel with the

and, Of course, Saturday?
Your resolving Of this enigma for the
subscrip VIII be very much thanked for

Dv n general agreement. or convention,
The day begins on the 10th meridian
from Greenwich-that is. on exactly the
op>-osite side Of the globe from Green
wich. If It Is Monday morning. SEP
TENDER 22d. when a ship going wesO
crosses this line, it becomes Immediately
Tuesday morning, September 90. If a

Monday. September 22d, Q A. NJ. IT
changes its date Immediately to Sunday,
Saptember 2lst, a. NJ. If two friends
stood talking TO each other on opposite
sides of this line they would talk on
different days; so that the remarks OF
Mr.. East made on Tuesday would be re-
piled TO Immediately by Mr. West on
Wednesday, but Mr.. Vests remarks OF
Wednesday would be at once answered
by Mr.. East on Tuesday-that is, the
day before they were made.

Twas morn--but not the ray which falls

When Beauty walks in gladness forth
with all her light and song;
Twas morn-but mist ana cloud huhg

And shadows like the wings OF Death,
we're cast upon the gale.
For He, whose spirit woke the dust OF
nations into life
That Ger the waste and barren eartn
spread flowers and fruitage rife
Whose genius Ike the sun. illumed the
mighty realms OF mind
Had fled forever from the fame, love.
friendship OF mankind!
To wear a wreath In glory wrought, his
spirit swept atar
Beyond the soaring wing or thought, the
light OF moon or star;
To drink immortal waters, Tree from
every faint OF earth .
To breathe before the shrine OF life. the
source whence worlds had birth!
There was wailing on the early breeze.
and darkness in the sky,
When. with sable plume and cloak and
pail q funeral train swept by .
Methought-St Mary shield us well!-that
other forms moved there
Than those OF mortal brotherhood-the
noble. young. and fair!
Was II a dream?-How Oft IN sleep We
ask, "Can this be true?"
Whilst warm Imagination paints her
marvels TO our view.
Earth's glory seems a furnished crown TO
that which we behold
When dreams enchant our sight with
things whose meanest garb is gold.
