Saturn will be the Morning Star till Feb. 29; it will then be the Evening Star to Sept. 9; ic will then be the Morning Star to the close of the year.
EXPLANATION OF CHRONOLOGICAL CYCLES .*
1. Dominical Letter. - The seven days of the week reckoned as be- giuning ou the first of January, are designated by the first seven le ters of the alphabet, A, B, C, D, E, F, G; and the one of these which denotes Sunday is the Dominical letter. Thus, if the year begin on Sunday, A is the dominical letter; if it bezin on Monday, that letter is G; it on Tuesday, it is F; and so on. If there were Sol days, or exactly 52 week. in the year, the Dominical letter would be always the same ; but the year contains 305} days ; an excess of If day over the 52 weeks. The day is taken into the account every year, and the one-fourth makes a day in every four years ; so that the dominical letter falls backward one letter for each of the three years in which the date or number of the year cannot be divided by 4, without remainder, and two letters every fourth yer, when the date can be so divided. The year : which have 29 days in February, and the two dominical letters are called Bissextiles, or lety years, because the day of the month, after Felatury; lips over a day of the week.
II. The Golden Number. - At the end of every nineteen years, the new and full moons happen at very nearly the same times of the year. The ancients discovered this, and re .koned the nineteen years, or . Cycle of the Moon, " as it is called, so that it termirited the year before the Christian era. This Cycle was marked by the Greeks with letters of Gold. To find the golden number, or number of the year in this Cycle, add 1 to the date; divide by 19: the quevient is the number of cycles of the Moon since the birth of Christ, and the remainder is the goblen main - br.
III. Solar Cycle. - The Cycle of the Suit in the number of years that elapse before the Sundays throughout the year happen on the same days of the month. If there were 301 days in the year, that would happen every year ; if 365, it would happen . very seventh year ; but because the one-fourth of a day makes an alteration of a day every fourth year, the Cycle must extend to 25 years, Nine years of this Cyele nad ciapsd before the birth of Christ. Therefore, to Bud the Cycle of the Sun, a ld 9 to the date ; divile by 23; the quodent is the number of Cycles since the birth of Christ, and the remainder is the Cycle of the Sun

the 12th new moon will take place 11 days etrlier each year than it did the year before. In the lunar Cycle of 19 years, there are 12 new moons in each of 12, and 13 in each of 7; because the Ili days of yearly differ- ence in three years exceed a lunar mouth by 33 days. The following method will answer for the day of the moon's age on the 1st of January till the end of the present century: Take 1 from the golden number, multiply what is left by 11, divide by 30, the remainder is the epact, or moon's age on the first of January.
V. Roman Indication. - The Cycle of Indication has no connection with the motions of the Sun and Moon further than its consisting of 15 years, It was established by the Emperor Constantine, in the year 312, to regulate certain payments by the subjects of the empire. To find it for any year. subtract 312 from the date, divide by 15, and the remainder is the indication.
ON THE CALENDAR, AND ITS SUCCESSIVE REFORMS.
The divisions of time, such as they are presented in the Calendar, are composed of days, weeks, months, and years. The modes of determming these divi-ions hive been various amongst the nations of antiquity, and there are still variations in the-e modes in the modern world.
The minner of reckoning the DAYs by the ancient Jews, and which subsists amongst that people at the present time, is, to commence the day at a certain hour of the evening and to finish it on the next cve- ning at the same hour Thus, their sabbath begins on the afternoon of Friday, and is completed on the afternoon of Saturday. The Roman Catholic Church also commences its festivals in the evening, and this custom is retained by the Episcopalians in some of their popular obser- vances, such as the eve of St. Joha, and Christmas eve.
The civil day now commences at 12 o'clock, midnight, and lasts till the same hour of the following night. The civil day is distinguished from the astronomical day, which begins at noon, and is counted up to 24 hours, terminating at the succeeding . oon. This mode of reckoning the day is that used in the Nautical Almanac, and it sometimes leads to mistakes with per-ons not faimbar with this manner of computation A little consideration will obviate this diffienlty. "Thins, January 10, fifteen hones in astronomical time, is January 11 ; 3 in the morning, civil time. In France and in most of the state- of Europe, as with us, the hours are counted up to 12, from midnight till noon, and from noon till midnight. In parts of Italy and of Germany, the day is held to commence about sunset, and the hours are counted on till the next sunset. This mode is very inconvenient to travellers as the noon of the ". Italian hours " at the summer Sol-tice is 16 o'clock, and 19 o'clock at the winter Solstice.
The English names of the days of the WEEK are derived from the Saxons ; and they partly adopted those names from the more civilized nations of antiquity. The following ingenious orizin of the ancient mauer has been suggested in connection with astronomical science. The planetary arrangement of Ptolemy was thus : 1, Saturn ; 2, Jupiter ; 3. Mars ; 4, the Sun ; 5, Venus ; 6, Mercury , 7, the Moon ; each of these planets was supposed to preside, successively, over each hour of the 21 of enen day, in the offer above given. In this way Saturn would pre- side over the first hour of the first day ; Jupiter over the second hour ;
33
CHRONOLOGICAL.
Mars over the third ; the Sun over the fourth, and so on. Thus the . un. presiding over the 4th, 11th, and Isth hours of the first day, would pro. ide over the first hour of the sceon Idi ; an I carrying on the series, the Moon would preside over the first hour of the third day ; Mars over the Ifrst hour of the fourth day ; Mereary over the first hour of the fifth day ; Jupiter over the first hour of the sixth day ; and Venus over the first hour of the seventh day Hence, the names of the days yet used in the learned professions throughout Europe. The present English names are derived from the Saxon : -

Tiw, Woden, Thor, and Frigo, were delties of the Pagan Saxons. Thor was the god of thunder, as well as the ancient Jove ; and Friga Was a goddess, the wife of Woden.
Almost all nations have regulated their MONTHS, in great degree, by the revolution of the Moon. Some have endeavored to unite tais divi- sion with the annual course of the Sun, by an augmentation of days at the end of each year, or by adding a thirteenth month at the end of every third year. The Jews and the Athenians followed this latter method. The Mace tonians, and some nations of Asia. assigned their months 30 and 31 days. The Turks and the Arabs have 20 and 39 dns. The months of the Anglo-Saxons were governed by the revolutions of the Moon. Their common year consisted of twelve hunter months, three months being appropriated to each of the four seasons; but every third year contained an additional Innar mon'h. which was given to the sum- mer season. The names of their lunar months either had reference to their religious ceremomes, or to the natural appearances of the year.
A considerable variation prevailed generally amongst the na ions of antiquity, and still partially prevails, with regard to the commencement of the YEAR. The Jews dated the beginning of the sacred yeir in the month of March ; the Athenians, in the month of June ; the Macedoni- ans, on the 24th of September ; the Christians of Egypt and Ethiopia, on the 29th or 30th of August ; and the Persians and Armenians, on the 11th of August. The Jewish civit year begins on the first day of the month Tesri ; the Mahommedan begins on the first of the month Moha- rem. Nearly all the nations of the Christian world now commence the year on the first of January ; but as recently-as 1752, even in England. the year did not legally and generally commence till the 25th of March In Scotland, at that period, the year begyn on the 1st of January. This difference cansed great practical inconveniences, and January and February, and part of March, somethues bore two dates, as we often find in old records, as 1711-12. This practice often leads to chronological mi-takes.
The year, properly so called, is the solar yehr, or the period of time in which the Sun passed through the twelve signs of the Zodiac This period comprises 365 days, 5 hours, 18 minutes, 61 seconds, 6 decivil, and is called the astronomical year.
The Calendar is a table of the days of the year arranged to assist the

distribution of time, and to indicate remarkable days commected with de- votion or business. If every nation bad adopted the same divisions of time, and a uniform Calendar had been general throughout civilized stites, history would present much fewer difficulties and contra fictions. The progress of astronomical science bas necessarily produced great changes in the manner of dividing time ; and thus, whilst some nations have been ready to give their Calendar every possible advantage of a scientific construction, the prejudie's of others have rendered them uu- willing to depart from their accustomed mode, however inaccurate. It may be curious and instructive to trace, very briefly, the changes of the Calendar ; orvinariy called the changes of style.
-
The Romans called the first days of each month Calends, from a word which signined called ; because the pontifi's on those days called the pro- ple together, to apprize them of the days of festival in that month. Hence we derive the name of CALENDAR
The Roman Calendar, which has in great part been adopted by ahnost all nations, is stated to have been introduced by Romulus, the f. under of the city. He devided the year into ten months only ; Mars. Aprilis. Maius, Junius, Quintilis (afterwards called Julius), Sextilis (afterward- called August-), September, October, November, December. Mars, Mains, Quietilis, and Dateber, contained 31 days each, and each of the six other months, 20 days ; so that the ten months comprised 304 days. The year of Romulus was, therefore, of 50 days' less duration than the Innar year ; and of 61 days' less than the solar year ; and its commence- ment of course did not correspond with any fixed season. Numa Pomp- ilius corrected this Calendar, by adding two months -Januarid's and Febru arius - which he placed bytore Mars, Julius Caesar, being desir- ons to render the Calendar still more correct, consulted the astronomers of his time, who fixed the solar year as 365 days, 6 hours, compri-ing, as they thought, the period from one Vernal equinox to another. The six hours were set aside, and at the end of four years, forming a dig, the fourth year was made to consist of 346 days. The day thus added was ealled interealary, and was added to the month of February, by doubling the 21th of that month, or, according to their way of reckoning. the sich of the Calends of March. Hence the year was called Bissextile. This almost perfect arrangement, which was denominated the Julian style, prevailed generally through the Christian world till the time of Pope Gregory XII. The Calendar of Anlius Ca-ar was defective in this pir- ticular : that the solar year, con-i-ting of 365 days. 5 hours, and 49 minutes, and not of 365 days, 6 hours, as was supposed in the time of Julius Caesar, there was a difference between the apparent year and the real year, of eleven minutes. This difference, at the time of Gregory XII., had amounted to ten entire dos, the vernal equinox falling on the lith instead of the List of March, at which period it fell correctly at the time of the council of Nice. in the year 225. To obviate this iscon- Venie: ce, Grogory ordained, in 1582, that the loth of October should be counted instead of the 5th, for the future; ant, to prevent the recur- rence of this error, it was further determined that the year beginning a century should not be kistextile, with the exception of that beginning each fourth century. Thos, 1.00 and 1800 have not been bi-sexale, hor will 1900 be so ; but the year 2000 will be bissextile In this manner three days are retrenched in four hundred years, because the Rope of eleven minutes makes three days in about that period. The year of the Calendar is thus made to correspond, as nearly as possible, to the true solar year ; and futune errees of chronology are avoided

The adoption of this change, which is called the Gregorian, or New Style (the Julian being called the old &t; le), was for some time re-isted by states not under the authority of the See of Rome. The chance of the style in Bogand was established by an Act of Parliament, passed in 1752. It was then enacted that the year should commence on the 1st of January, instead of March 25th ; ant that in the year 1752, the days should be nmabered as usual unnl September 2, when the day following should be accounted the 14th September. ondtting eleven days. The Gregooian principle of dropping one day in every hundreth year, except the fourth hundredth, was also enacted. The alteration was for a long time opposed by the prejudices of individuals; and even now, in Eng- land. with some persons, the Old Style is so pertinacionaly adhered to, that rent- are made payable on the old quarter days instead of the new. The Russians still retain the Old Style, thus e catir gan inconvenience in their public and commercial intercourse with other nations, which we trust that the growing intelligence of the people will eventually corrert.
During the period in which France was a Republic, the authorities in- Produced an antire change in the Calendar, which was in existence more than twelve years, and is important to be noticed, a> all the public Acts of the French nation were dated according to this altered style. The National convention, by a decree of October 5th, 1793. established a new era, which was called, in the place of the Christian era, the era of the French. The commencement of each year, on the first " Vendimiaire," was fixed at the midnight commencing the day on which the autumnat equinox fell, as determined at the Observatory of Paris. This era com- meneed the 22nd September, 1792, being the epoch of the foundation of the Republic ; but its estabhssment was not d. creed till the 4th " Fri- maire " of the year II. (24th November, 1793.) Two days afterwards. the public acts were thus dated. This Calender existed till the loth " Nicove " year XIV. (the 31st December, 1805), when the Gregorian mode of computation was restored.

HISTORICAL.
THE scraps of local history inserted in the Directory of 1859, met with universal favor, and added largely to the interest and value of the book ; and believing that something of the kind would be appropriate in this place, we asked and obtained the consent of Mr. G. W. Chase, to make a selection from the MSS. of his forthcoming "History of Haverhill." In examining the sheets, we found so much of deepest local interest, that we hardly knew how and what to select, and finally decided to in- sert part of a single chapter, which will, we think, be found well worth perusal, and also affords a fair specimen of that portion of the work already completed.
