' Tjie Roman Calendar was imposed by Romulus, the founder of ■^ine, about 716 B. C, who divided the year into ten months, the . . .st of which was March, then April, May, June, Quintil, after- wards called Julius, and Sextil, (afterwards called August,) then I Septomber, October, November and December., The confubion ' and disorder occasioned by this division of the year was. so great, J in the time of Julius Csesar, that after thc« battle of Pharaalia, !• which occurred B. C. 48, he looked upon the reformation of the calendar as not unworthy his attention. Accordingly, he sent for t!ie famous astromer Sosigene.s from Alexandria, who ordered the year according to the cours* of the sun, and composed a calendar of 365 d=^y^> leaving out the six hours to form a day at the end of ovcry fourlidi year, whicli day was tod)o inserted in the mouth Qf Februarys after the 24th of that mouth.

This reformation was made B. C. 45, and was introduced the ' year following. In this form did the calendar asd account of time stand till the mtrocluct'on of the Georgian Calendar. JEWISH TIME. —The Jewish hours were coropnted from sun- rise ; their third hour divided the space between sunrise and noo'^ ; the ninth h^nr divided the space between noo^ aud sunt. at' but in the New Testament we find that they sometimes make use of the Roman reckoL'ings of thtir hours. The Roman reckoning ^;as the same as ours, beginning at midnight and reckoning to noon, twelve hours, and ngain from noon to midnight. The Hebrews divided their nightb into four watches of three hours each. The first from six to nine in the evening •. the sec- ond from nine to 12 ; the third from, 12 to 3 in the morning, and last to 6 or sunrise. MOHAMMEDAN TIME.— The Mohammedan year consists of twelve lunar months, each containing 29 days, 12 hours and 792 scruples, [1080 scruples make one houx*] so that the year consists of three hundred and fifty-four days, 8 hours and eight hundred and sixty-four scruples. In order to reduce this year to an in- tegral number of days, a cycle of thirty was chosen as the moit convenient period, because 30 times eight hours, and eight hun- dred and sixty-four scruples, amounts exactly to eleven days, and in this cycle there are nineteen years of three hundred and fifty- four, and eleven of three hundred and fifty-five days. CHINESE TIME.— The Chinese divide the day and night into twelve equal parts, beginning their' reckoning from midnight ; hence their hours are double tjhe length of ours. The common Chinese year coKsist of twelve lunar months, and their intercalary year has thirteeen. Their months have no sub- divisien, that is, they have no weeks. Their common way of da- ting Ib by the day q{ the month and the year of the reigning em- peror ; as for example, they say fifth of th ^ sixth moon in the 11 twelth year of Kia-ring. They have a cycle of sixty years, b.utjj, this is made use of only in books and by the literati. The cylc/e of nineteen years is used by those who regulate the calendars- — The moon with which their year cMnmences is that which falls nearest to the fifteenth degree of Aguarions, corresponding to the third or fourth of February. The Chinese date the commencement of their spring the in- stant the sun enters this degree, when they "wish each other a hap- py New Year. 1 MARCH, 1866. APRIL, 1865.

BEGINNING OF THE YEAR IN VARIOUS NATIONS. The Clialdeanp' nnd Egvptiausi' year irere dated irom tlie autum- nal equinox. The eccltTbiaetical year of the Jews began in the hpring ; but in civil nll'nivi* they retain the epoch of the Eygtian year. The ancient 'Chincfe reckoned from the nev moon nearest the middle of Aquarius. The year of RomulutJ coihmenced in Maich, and that of Numain January. The Turns nud Arabs date tlfeir year from tne Kth of July. Drerufchid, Kiug of Persia, ob- bo rved on the day of his public entry into Persepolie, that the sun entered into Arrofj ; &nd in commem.cration of this fortunate event he ordered tb-e beginning of the year to be i'«moved from the autumnal to the vernal equinox. The Mexicans begin tlkoir year in February, when the leaves begin to grow green. Their year consiete of eighteen months, having tveenty days eaeh, the lrt.«!t five days arc epont in mirth, and no business is Euflferoi to be done, not even any services at the templci. The ^bbybsiniang have five-idle days at the end'^f their year, which commences on tke 26th of August. The American Indians reckon from the first appearance of the new moon fit the vernal equinox. The Mahom- etans begin their year the minute in which the sun enters Aries. Th€ Venetians, Florentines and the Pisans in Italy,- begin the year at the vernal equinox. The French year during the reign of the Merovingian race, began on the day on whiil) the troops Were reviewed, which was the first day of Mnrch. Under the Curlovin- giauB it began on Christmas day, aKd under the Capetians on Eas- ter day. The ecclesiastical begins on the first Sunday in Ad-vent. Charles IX appoiuted, in 1564, that for the luture the civi'l ye%r should commence on the first of January The Julian calendar, which Was so called from Julius Caesar, and is the old account of the year, was reformed by Pope Gregory in 1582, which pliiu was suggested by Lewis Lilio, a Calabrian Astronomer. OLD AND NEW CHRISTMAS. The lawful year is 305 days and hour.-}. The mcnsared year is 3tJ5 days 6 hours 48 minutes and 57 seconds, making an annu- al loss of 11 minutes and 3 seconds. The loss in 100 years is 18 hours. But when Gregory made hi« alterations in the calendar, he found nineteen to be an odd number. He had therefore to approximate. He threw aside a day each for the 1st, 2d and 3d c centuries, and reserved the day for the fourth century. By this arrangement 12 days would be lost in 1600 years, changing old Christmas to new Christmas. CHANGEa OF THE MOON.— The changes of the Inoon ftfe about eleven days later every year. Subtract eleven from the changes thisjyear and you will have the changes for next year. — i The Lunar year is about three hundred and fifty-foutdays and the I Solar year three hundred and 8ixty-five,'6 hours 48 mia. 67 sec. cls" ?:^ m MAY, 1805. i;m?]E; 1865 MO ON '8 .PHASES. d, h. in.
