 %* The year 1800 was not reckoned a BifTextile, or Leap 
 Year, but confifted of 365 days only, making thereby a differ- 
 ence of 12 days between the Old and the New Styles. This 
 difference of the two Styles will continue thro'out the whole of 
 the 19th Century, in order that the. Vernal, or Spring Equinox, 
 may be fixed on or near the 21ft of March in every year*, as it 
 happened at the time of the Council of Nice in 325, and as 
 fixed by the Gregorian or New Style. 
 
 * All thefe regulations tend to prove, that the year ought to 
 commence at the Spring or Vernal Equinox, and neither at the 
 ifi\of January, nor at the 22dof Septr.— -Nature and Common 
 Senfe pointed this period out to " the wild untutor'd Indian."

 A Brisf ACCOUNT of ASTRONOMY: 
 
 14 The ipacious firmament on high, 
 
 *« And all the blue ethzrial fky, 
 
 ■** And fpangl'd Heav'ns, a fciining frame, 
 
 U Their great original Jrreclaim." 
 
 ASTRQNOMY is a Science which treats of the motions and dif- 
 tincesofthe heavenly bodies, and of theirvarious appearances. 
 — It is a Science, which,, the more it is known, mews the wonder* 
 of Nature, and displays the aftonifhmg power and goodnefxof GOD* 
 tke almighty creator and prcfeVver of the l.'niverfe. 
 
 The Pflemsic Syflem had long been ihc ertablifhed and orthodox 
 belief; according to which, the Garth was one extenfivc plane fixed 
 in (he centre of a great fyllem, around which moved the Sun, \3oon, 
 and Stars; and thel<* were fuppofed to be placed in feparate chrvftal- 
 ine fpheres, incioicd by a grand concave, the whole of which was 
 thought to be meant for the ulc of thi* liarth aioue. 
 
 The true fyftem of the Univcrl'e is denominated the Copem'tan, 
 or Solar Syftem, comprehending the Sun, the* primary and (econdnrjr 
 Planets, and the Comets (which may be coni : dered as a different 
 Ipecies of Planet?) revolvirg. about the Sun as their common centre. 
 The Earth is now confidercd as only- a Planet, revolving* witn f 1 x 
 others, round the Sun. The Sun, the rnort imwenfe, the moft gia- 
 rious, and the moil beneficial of 3ll the beaventy luminaries, is. the 
 fountain of heat, and light, and vegetation to this vail l-yi tern i 
 
 The, paths which the Planets deftribe in their revolutions round 
 the Sun, are called their Orbits. The number of.. Planets in the 
 Solar Syftem is leven, viz. Mercury, Venus, the Eurtb, Mars, Jupi- 
 ter, £>a:nrn, and Hgrkhel (or Qeorg'mm S'.dus, laicly d»fcove>ed). The 
 two firft of thclc are called inferior Placets, becaufe they are nearer 
 to the centre of gravity than the Earth, or, th+y are below the Larfh 
 with reipeft to thtt centre ; and the other five *re called (xfcrior V\*~ 
 nets, becaufe they are abeve the Earth, and farther from the Sun. — 
 Thcle Planets are called primary, in order to dilttnguith them from 
 14 other bodies, c-aWt&feccrda-.y Planets, Moons, or Satellites, which 
 ravolve about their refpective Primaries from weft to eaft, ant 1 , at the 
 fame time,. accompanying;them raund ihc Sun — The Eailh b«s one 
 fatelli e (the Moon),. JAipiter has four, Saturn has ieven, and Her- 
 fchel has two; 
 
 Bcfides thefc Planets, ther* are innumerable other bocies, com- 
 monly called Stars, which wc &e in a clear nighi, illuminating and 
 adorning «• the Ipacious firmament on high,." and all demanding our 
 gratitude and admiration. 
 
 The Planets are op«^u?, fphcilcal bodies,, receiving their light 
 from the Sun, which, in tbt.r various revolutions, they are iorr>;- 
 times nearer to, andfometimos ftrlher from. — By the tra*fit of Ve- 
 nus over the Sun in the years 1761 and 69, we now know the diftaii- 
 cesof the Placets from the Shu better than before, as may be i'een by 
 the following Table, which will give our Readers an idea of that 
 iiwft ftufendous and woaderful machine* the Stiar Syjkm,

 Th« 
 
 Of the PLaNETS. 
 
 Saturn \ , by re*fiu »f its great diftance, appears to the eye 
 with but a fec-ole ii^ht 
 
 J u titer 2/ is ealily feen, heiag very bright a»,d refulgent. 
 
 Mars % , is a ruddy fiery coio-r'd Planet. 
 
 Venus £, is the brighter, of ait the Planets, conftanlly attend- 
 ing the Sun, and never distant from h:m above 47 degrees ; when 
 it goes belore the Sun, it is fomtlimes tailea Lucifer, and when it 
 foiiows the Sun, Hcfperus. 
 
 Mercury $> , is a little bright Planet, the Sun's contlant com- 
 panion, from whole fide he never dep rts above 28 degrees, and, 
 ty that mean*, is ui'.iaiiy hid in the Son's l'upetior Iplem cr. 
 
 Herschel jg (by fume tailed the Gccrglmn Zidus) t is the new- 
 ly difcovered Pisnet. 
 
 From thefe defcriptions, the different Planets may be diftin- 
 gjifhr-d ; for, after fun-fet, if you ice a Planet nearer to the liaft' 
 than the Weft, you may conclude it is neither Mercury nor Venus, 
 and may. determine whether it is Saturn, Jupiter, or Mars, by the 
 colour of the light, by which alio he may di leaver Venus and Mer- 
 cury.

 began, It at fun -rife j and the* Jews, Grecians, &c. at fun-fet. — In 
 Astronomy, however, it begins tocn, or when the Sun is at his 
 meridian. 
 
 In the Julian Calendar, or Old Style, about 45 years before 
 Clirift, a method of reckoning time was adopted by Julius Cefar, 
 much preferable to any that had be/.n before vied. A. year was 
 fuppofed to cordift of 3>5 days an J 6 he Bra; three fucceeding 
 years were confidered as common years, but, on account of the an- 
 nual excels of 6 hours, the 41I1 year -was to contain }/>(> days, and 
 this was called Leap Year. As che Solar Year, hdwever, is not 
 exadlly 365 days and 6 hours, but 365 days 5 he urs 48 minutes 
 and 48 feconds, it f.llows, that the Julian year exceeded the Sclar 
 11 mins. and 12 fees. This annual increafe amounts to one day 
 in t2<). years. N&withftanding "his inaccuracy, the Julian ftyle 
 was ufea in Europe till the year 1582, when it was reformed by 
 Pope Gregory, who introduced what is now called the Gregorian, 
 ci New Style. 
 
 I* having been fctmd that the Venial Equinox (at which time, 
 in fact, the year ought to commence) which had been fixed on the 
 2 1 it of March by tne Council cf 2\li:e, held in the year 3 5,5, hap- 
 pened rn the i trh of March 1582, the difference was taken from 
 the October of that year, and the 21 it of the next March reduced 
 to the true time of the Equinox. However rational this plan was, 
 fuch is the powei cf Prejudice, it was not adopted in England till 
 the year 1752, when 11 da) s were itruek cm of the Calendar, and 
 the 3d became the 14th of September.— The Cid Styie is Hill hi 
 ufe in Ruffia. 
 
 L'uch has been raid about the impious preemption of , he French 
 in giving new names to their months and days— Not entering in- 
 to a juii ifi cation cf the crimes and extravagancies cf the various 
 leaders of that wonderful people, we believe, after an impartial 
 enquiry, it will be found, that, in this particular, they have more 
 real'on on their iide, than Prejudice or Ignorance is willing to al- 
 low them. It is Well known, that Our prefent terms, Januafry, 
 February, he. Sunday, Monday, &t. are all derived from the -Hea- 
 then Deities that weie in falliion before the promulgation ci {. hrh- 
 tia".i.y— How then, a<: Christians, do we prefume to blame an al- 
 teration, which excludes the remains of Paganiiln, and brine; i 
 with it fo mucii appropriate meaning and natural /jgnincar.cv 1 — 
 But we have a Unking example, in this country, of the fimpjicity 
 and propriety Of a fyftem founded on common-lenfe principles, in 
 the conduct of that reipectable fociety of people culLd Quakers, 
 
v?ho have thrown out a!l the Heachenifli derivations, and ufe the 
 £rn £ lc '^ , ' ms of Flrft - Second, Third, &c. both to clays and months. 
 —This is nor, however, a new fubject ; many able and pious men 
 have endeavoured to fubvert the prei'ent abfurd and unchriitian de- 
 rivations — but in vain ; fo difficult is it to overcome bigotted opi- 
 nions andobftinate habits. 
 
 As the affairs of France neceflfarily attract the ferious attention 
 • Call the civilized world, and of none more than the people of 
 thele States— and as every man who reads a News-paper mult fre- 
 quently be perplexed with the terms of the new Calendar, the foi- 
 l-owing abridgement, it ir> hoped, will ferve as a uicful explaratiorr 
 cf it.

The eriginal inhabitants of this country, America, many years 
 before there coitfd be any idea of a revolution in France, went up - 
 O'l the natural principle of giving names to theirMoons, orMonths, 
 defcripme of the feafon; indeed one would almoft think that the 
 modem French Calendar -makers had the Indian lyftem on the ta- 
 ble before them We give this curious article in the Author's 
 
 own words : - 
 
 " Considering their ignorance ttf A&ronomjr (fays Mr. Carver) 
 the Indians have divide 1 time in a very rational manner. They 
 count their years bv winters, or, as they exprefs themfelves, by 
 fnows. They reckon their years by moons, and make them con- 
 fill of 12 fynodical or lunar months, observing, when 3c moons 
 have waned, to add a fupernumerary one, which they term the 
 Loft Moon, and then they begin to count as before. 
 
 '« Every month, with them, has a name expreffive of the feafioi 
 —For inilanee, they call March (in which their ?eai begins at the 
 hrll new moon afrer the vernal Equinox) the Worm Moon, or 
 Month, becaufe, at this time, the worms quit their retreats, and 
 begin to appear — April they call the Month of Hants — May, the. 
 Month of Flowers— June, the Hot Month— Jul_. , 6uck Mooo — 
 Auguft^ Sturgeon Moon — September, Corn Moon — October, the 
 Travelling Moon, as, in th.ls month, they travel to the places 
 where they intend to hunt dining the winter— November, Beaver 
 Moon— December, the Hunting M ^on— January, the Cold Moon, 
 as the cold .is generally more intede this month than any other — 
 And, February, they call the Snow Moon. They make no di- 
 vision of weeks; but days they count by Uceps, half days by- 
 pointing to the fan at noon, and quarter: by the riling and letting 
 of the fun, to exprefs which they make ufe of very ggniiicaat 
 hieroglyphics." 
 
 Almanacks. The ancient Saxons iiftd to errrave upon 
 
 certain fquare iticks, about a foot in Length, the courfes of the 
 Moon during the year, whereby they were able to tell when the 
 new moons, lull moons, and changes, fhould happen; ar.d thefe 
 carved boards they called Allmon-avghi, that is to fay, All men. 
 beed, i. e. the attention which all men ought to pay the Moon. 
 From hence is derived the word Almanack. ' 
 
 Early Rising. The difference between ritirg every mor- 
 ning at 6 or at 8 o'clock, in the courfe of 40 years, amounts to 
 .29,000 hours, or 3 years 121 days 16 hours, which will aficrd 
 exactly 8 hours a day for ten years ! — What a weighty confider- 
 tion is tins to mankind, whofe longeft life is but a fpan ; more 
 particularly thofe who waite thefe precious hours in bed, and 
 . who could fpend them either in the neceGary difpatch of buii- 
 nefs, in the improvement ftf their mind, or in the healthful ex- 
 .ercife of the body — [See Dr. Franktin's amufing addrefs to the

 teaches to judge of the effects and inflherices «>f the Stars, and to

 Planets arc in a fign of their own nature,, that is, if a cold Planet 
 be in a cold Sign, or a hot Planet in a hot Sig:i, then thrf nature

The PEACH-TRir. 
 
 The Peach is the moft delicious fruit thni can be produced in any 
 country. Fluxes ate feint times afcribed to the ule of it, but this 
 is only where it is imprudently eaten before it is ripe ; for it is a 
 well known faft, that in fluxes there is nothing l'o dciirable to the 
 ftck perfon as a fully ripe peach; and few pveferiptions are mere 
 beneficial in every ilage of that dilorder, than a ripe fre«-flone 
 -fvvcet peach. 
 
 The tree of this fruit may be produced in great varieties from the 
 Hone, but the belt kinds are thofe propagated by innocuiation.— 
 This precious fruit, however, is forbidden to the floihful, the neg- 
 ligent, and the ignorant; for it can neither be obtained, nor pre- 
 fetved, but by (kill and attention. 
 
 'ih? Peach Tree is liabie to three caufaities, or misfortunes— 
 The fly, which depofits its eggs near the root of the tree; the burn- 
 ing ei the bark by fevere frcft in winter; or, by the fplintering ofT 
 of the limbs at the fork of the tree. The Gardener who wiftes to 
 bare weil tailed, wholeiome fruit, muft carefully guard againft thefe 
 -cauialties. 
 
 The Farly Free-ftone is one cf the fincir Peache? ; it ccire' moil 
 certainly to its kind from the ftone. In # ioo acres of this kind, 
 thcie will fcafceiy be or.e four peach. 
 
 Thofe who can obtain the Apricot fr^ne, will find it very ad - 
 iftntagenus to plant for ftccks to innocuiate upon ; fer, ahho' tl; e y 
 r.ve not abfoiutejy free from the ravages of the fly, yet they are lei's 
 f'-quently attacked than the Peach-tree. Experiments have prov- 
 ed, that a Peach innocuiared on the Apricot, will grow larger and 
 life higher than on the Peach flock. — [For furl her particulars, fee

 The ufcfulnefs ot gond Peaches, which the health of ourfelves 
 rrd cur children enjoins us to provide, and which a kind Provi- 
 dence has put within our reach, ihould urge us to our daty in taking 
 the proper means to provide it. It has been laid by a Gentleman 
 who- has had the experience of three-i'core years, «« th.it a hee ufe 
 of really ripe gsod Peaches, would add 7 years to the life of eveiy 
 niaR iu the State i" AMasyland Farmer. 
 
 &3T Under the pa*es of the Calendar, will be feen a variety 
 of hints to the Gardener and Farmer. As thefe Directions are 
 copied from a London publication, it is probable, in confluence 
 of he difference of climate, that fome ot ths articles may bs too 
 late in point of time, perhaps a month or fix weeks — The Direc- 
 tions that here follow, an: taken from a fmal] book fa id to be writ-

 FOOD for CATTLE. 
 An eminent Crazier fays, that the weed known to Farmers by | 
 the name of jdrfmart, and belonging to the genus Tolygonum in the; 
 Limiean fyftein, is a very wholeiome fodder for catne. It a- ! 
 founds in many meadows, and is. generally deemed a tauifance in at 
 field, /•itho' the cattle will not touch it whilfl green, yei, when J 
 made into hay, they will eat :t as eagerly as they ..ill Timothy ; iti, 
 is nourifhinf, and keeps the cattle warm and healthy. Several hun-1 
 cted tons of it have been made by the Gentleman who gives this in.'.j 
 formation for ihe benefit ol the Public.

 CLEAN WHEAT—A Hint. 
 
 It is earneftly recommended to Farmers in general, to confidcr the 
 intereft of the country, and their own credit and profit, by taking 
 care to e'ean their wheat better. It is well known, that this State, 
 Virginia, is capable of producing as good wheat as any in the Union, 
 and yet its flour is not in fuch high reputation as that of lome other 
 States— why, becaufe the wheat is not properly cleaned. Let u.1 
 therefore hope, now that we have Y'ills a.\d Machinery conitrufted 
 the bA principles, that by the general ufe of Tbrejhing Macb\m 
 (which, beftdes, will be a vaft Paving of labour and expence) the ere 
 dit of the Virginian flour will be exalted, and be fought for in ever 
 market either at home or abroad. 
 
 N. B. Ic is impoinble for the belt machinery in the world properly 
 ro clean wheat that is trodden upon the ground, and then thrown inti 
 bulk. 
 
Theft Friar of Nottingham— a new Song. 
 
 A jolly fat Friar lov-d liquor good (tore, 
 
 And he had drank ftoutly at fupper; 
 He mounted his horfe, in the night, at the door, 
 
 And fat with his face to the crupper. 
 Some rogue, quoth the riiar, quite dead to remorfe, 
 
 Some thief whom a halter will throttle, 
 Some fco.mdrel, has cut oft* the head of my horfe, 
 
 Whiift I wis engig'd at the bottle, 
 
 Winch v\ent gluggity, gluggity, g!ug, glug, glug! 
 
 The tail of the fleed pointed fovith on the dale, 
 
 'Twas the Friai's road home ftra;t and level, 
 But, when fpur d, a horfe follows his nofe, not his tail, 
 
 So he fcamper'd due noith like a devil ! 
 This new mode of docking, the Fiiar then fan', 
 
 I peiceivc dosn't make a horfe trot ill ; 
 And 'tis cheap, for he never can eat off his head 
 
 Whiift I am engag'd at the bottle, 
 
 Which goes gluggity, &c, 
 
 The deed made a flop, in a pond he had got, 
 
 And was rather tor drinking thai; grazing; 
 Quo.h the Fria , it is odd he«;dlefs hoiles fhould trot, 
 
 But to drink with their tails is amazing ! 
 Turning round to fee whence the phenomenon rofe, 
 
 in the pond ftll this fon of a pottic ; 
 Quoth he, the head's found, for I'm under his nofe, 
 
 —I w'.ih I were over a bottle, 
 
 Which goes glvigglty, &c.

 II As drunk as an owl ;"- " as drunk as a fow ;" — " 'as drunk 
 us a beggar;"-—" as drttnk as the Devil ;" — or, " as drunk as a 
 Lord!" — 'i hefe are the principal comparisons of Druukennefs,- 
 and the explanation is as follows, viz. A man is as chunk as an 
 Owl when lie cannot fee. He is as drunk as a bow when he 
 tumbles into the dirt. He is as drunk as a beggar when he is 
 very impudent. He is as drunk as the Devil when he is mifchiev- 
 oun. And, when as drunk as a Lcrd, he is then every thh.g that's 
 bad!

 Akecpote Two failoa-f^ome IrifJi, the other Englifh, agreed 
 
 reciprocally to take cire of each other in an action juft jroir^g to 
 commence. It was not ka\g before the Englimman's leg was 
 f ot off, and en hi.5 calling to h)c comrade to carry him tc the 
 Do&or, the o;her readily complied, but he had fcarcely get him 
 on his beck, when another ball llruck his head off. The Irim- 
 man, who, thro' the noife common in a fiea engagement, had not 
 perceived his friend's lad misfortune, continued to make the beft 
 of his way to the Surgeon. An OiTicer, observing him with a 
 headlefs trunk upon his moulders, afk'd where he was going? 
 —To the Doctor, fays Paddy — Tha Doctor! why you fool, the 
 mail has loit hi* head — On hearing this, Faddy threw the body 
 down, arid looking at it attentively, he cry'd, " By my foul, ha 
 told me it was Ids leg!"
