Mes.J ; MEAN, EQUAL, OK CLOCK TIME, Ejqilaincd and distinguished from Apparent u . '. or Vial time. Tlio earth revolveson her axis uniformly; turning any meridian from a given star tx tlie same again in 23 lioura, 50 minutes , and about 4 seconds. But by reason of the earth's annual revolution round the sun, the sun is caused apparently to perform an annual revolution castwardly in tlie hea. reiis. It is therefore evident that the earth must turn on her axis, as much more than once quite fouud, as she advances daily in lier orl , in order to bring the same men' dian unucr the sun ajnun. :. inc orbit , or 'naihin whic.li the earth nerforrrisTier anniinl revolution Is eccentric or elliptical, and therefore her velocity is not uuiform; be- sidei, tlie direction of her path is oblique in respect i tlie equator. Both these circum stances renderjhe sun's apparent motion in right ascension variable. The mean daily motion of the earth in her orbit, or appa. rently of the sun in' the heavens, is about 69 minutes of a degree; which," eonverted into time, makes 3 m. and 56 s. and thus . completes 24 hours, which is the avemge length of apparent solar days. But the sun's apparent aflyjnwfionjn riglit asccn- eion varies irviiu imuiuus oi a uegree vo Dearly 67 minutes. IlWide, apparent days are sometimes shorter and at other times longer than the mean or average fcpeth; and hours and-minutes of apparent time vary in like nrotiortion. About tlie 22d nr 23d of December thu apparent day contains 24 h 0 m. 30 s. of mean far couol or ave- I rage time; while about th middle of Sep- on his bosom till it. hung its head and fa - temher an apparent day contains no more j jM, an1 when saw that its glory was than 23 h. 69 m. 39 s.-of tlie like time Thus there is srdiflcrence of 51 seconds of absolute time between the longest and shortest apparent day; notwithstanding that wita regard to the fixed stars, or to abso lute space, the earth s diurnal motion is unr form. Permit me here to borrow an idea from the preface to the Nautical Almanac for 1 835. w " - '- . -'r , . Astronomers," says the writer, "with a view of obtaining a convenient and uni form measure of time, have recourse to a mean solar day, the length of which is eua -to tho mean or average of a8 the apparent olar days in the year. An imarpnarys'un, called tlie mean sun, is conceived to move uniformly in the eouator with. the real sun's mean motion in right ascension; arid th'iTOinuWullcar interval between the departure cl . . ny mo-1 ridiah from the mean sun and its succeed ing return to it, ia the mean., solar day. Clocks and chronometers are adjusted to mean solar time; so that a complete revo lution (through 24 hours) of the hour hand of one of these machines should be per formed in exactly the same interval as the .revolution of the earth on its axis , with re spec: to the mean sun." Clock time, therefore is called equal time because all its days or hours are of tlw some length; it is, also called mean time because the days or hours are equal to the menu or. average of those of apparent time. The difference between apparent time, and equal or clock time, colled the equation of time, has been given in the al manacs for many years post for tho express purpose of setting and regulating time, keepers; but in tho use of the clock time almanacs, tlie trouble of applying the equa tion is saved. - The diljl-rcnce bctwech;the parts of the day as divided by tlie Nock, noon appears not to be well understood by some persons in various parts of our country. In giving a definition of the word day lor tne purpose of the present explanation, let it bo under stood to signify the interval of time that the sun's centre' is above the horizon, n contradistinction, from that interval during w hich It remains below, trio horizon, which is called night Iie southing of the sun a centre then divides -the dny info two equal parts. The clock noon does tho same four days in the year, when the equation of time vanishes. .Hut on all other days the clock noon divides the day into two unequal parts; for if a lino be di vided at any other point than the middle, the two"pnrts will be unequal. . With regard to the difference of tlie parts, it is plain that if a line be divided at a point one inch from the middle, one partbeing an inch less than half and tlie other one inch more than hair, their qjfler. ence wiU bo-two incite' It i4bvious, therefore) that the clifTerence hot ween the parts of the dut, as divided bv the clock noon, will always bo equal to the double of the equation of time.About tho 12th of reoruury umj equation. -rises 4a H ni and 33 s. and on tho 2d of November it reaches 16 m. and 16 s. making 'a diflbrence be twecn the parts of the day of 20 m. in the ronncr liwtnnce, and 32 m. anu 32 s. in the latter. ; ; Calculations will, however, be made to order, whichever kind of time tho publisher ntay prefer. ; -.., DtUNKENEss.---If you wish to ho ' al ways thirsty , be a drunkard; for the oftcner and more you drink, the oftencr and more thirsty you wllHie. -7 ' -. f 1 .

But it Icil a tliorn in his bosom, and vainly did he seek to extract it; for now it pierces tlie spoiler, even in his hour of mirth. And when I saw that no man, who had Wod the beauty of the rose, gathered again its scattered leave-' or'. bound up tho stalk j whlcn the n&n of violence had broken, II looked earnestly at the spot where it grew: and my soul received instruction. .And I said, let her who is full of beauty and ad miration, sitting like the queen of flowers in majesty among tlie daughters of women, letTier watch lest vanity enter her heart, beguiling her to rest proudly upon her own strength: let her remember tliat she stand- eth upon slippery places, "and be not high- 1- GE5EEAL Maxims fob IlEAtTH-Ris? early.

And pcreaps the. voice of calm and impartial res. son may safely pronounce the decision that it would be a vain and unpracticablo attempt to aim at making known the characters of the meritorious citizens of any community,, without having first imparted to the world perspicuous and tangible revelation of its resources of Literature and Sci. ence. It is a mournful tact, in connection with the history , of this Suto, that she has suffered immense privations of character and tame from the Want of a faithful and accessible organ. inrougn w.nicli nor devoted sons might communi cate to the world those biogpaphicalincidcnts and historical and literary fragments which have bc-cu garnered up in the archives of private affection, and which are so closely associated with the glory of ths people.. In this respect, we are far in the rear of other States in tbe Confederacy, which can prefer no just claimfo. a superior, rank over North Carolina on account of the vaster extent of their moral, mtellectual and physical resources. And we cannot surrender the endearing convic tion that this State presents an atmosphere suffi. ciently genial and a . soil sufficiently grateful to sustain, in vigorous prosperity, a journal purely devoted to Literature and Science, until the ex periment snail nave proved unsuccessful.
