Correspondence of Tha Observer. - High Point, Sept . After "Holy Cross JDay," the 14th of SeptemBer, the next festival Is the 29th, the . feast of "St MKhael and All Angels" eom monly known as ' Michaelmas.. ; The splendid painting of Guldo, copied by so many artists, reproduced in so many forms of art haa made many who care little for tradition, sacred or secular, familiar with the warrior angel. The day has manq - ydlotaoln angel. . The day has many old ob servences and associations The loyal Briton considers a goose the only fit ting dinner, and asserts that goose formed a part of the dinner of "Good Queen Bess" on Michaelmas Day, 1588, when she received the news of the complete rout of the Spanish Ar manda and by her request -the dish was henceforth served on the anniver sary. Such kf the story, but antiqar lans, who love truth better than poetry, say that the custom Is much older than the days of Elizabeth. It Is -customary to elect magistrates on Michaelmas Day and a pleasant old author says it is because the feast of St. Michael brings to mind "the old belief In tutelar spirits who have the charge of certain bodies of men, or certain cities, and are the guarding spirits of individuals from the cradle to the grave." The patron saint and guardian of England is St, George; of Scotland, St Andrew; St. Patrick , is the keeper of Ireland: St. David of Wades; St Giles was of old supposed to have Edinburgh in his care. , The list is long, and did space per mit, might be made much longer, but when we review our classical readings and remember that long before the Christian! era .Minerva the scholarly was the patron of Athens, while the war-like Romans claimed the special guardianship of Mars, we think the belief in guardian spirits Is a part of the national religious belief of man kind. The "Julian calendar" was long in use, but the inconveniences arising from slight inaccuracies in the course of several centuries necessitated still further alterations and in 1582 Pope Gregory XIII. ordered the disuse of the old and the adoption of the new calendar, called from him the Gregor ian. Hence the double dating of O. S. and N. S, Th new style was general ly adopted throughout Europe, but Protestant England long held -: out against the change.1' The extreme In convenience of a reckoning so unlike that of all her neighbors and allies, at least however, forced England to yield: v" ' ' '''""' In 1758 the British Parliament, aft er long discussion adopted the new style, and by solid enactment, ordered the advance of eleven days, calling the third September the fourteenth, the next the fifteenth and so on. It was a staple way of meeting the difficulty, but it gave great offence' to the Ignor ant and uninformed crowds of peo ple stopped the unfortunate members '1 Tl.Slo.fSap.ri.rtt, f''" ..sssssssy . . ssssapsssssiassssassaaj Eiinioiiieffie Vs.
