NOTE. In the table above it is to be understood that the word "near" and the character (conjunction) are synonymous, and mean that the two bodies are nearest each other at the time expressed, and that they are then on a line running from the North Pole through both bodies, and have the same right ascension. GR. ELON. means greatest elongation or greatest apparent angular distance from the SUN. STATIONARY means that the planet is then without apparent motion east or west with respect to the Stars, and is about to move in a direction contrary to that it last had. The character 8 indicates that the planet is opposite the Sun, or 180 deg., or a half circle east of it, and rises when the Sun sets, and sets when he rises. When a planet is a quarter of a circle or 90 deg. from the Sun, east or west, it is known by a.

PLANETARY CHARACTERS.- Mercury, Venus, & Mars, 24 Jupiter, Saturn, H Uranus, Neptune, Moon.

The above table enables us to find the planets throughout the year.

To Ascertain the Length of the Day and Night,

at any time of the year, add 12 hours to the time of the Sun's setting, and from the sum subtract the time of rising, for the length of the day. Subtract the time of setting from 12 hours, and to the remainder add the time of rising next morning, for the length of the night. These rules are equally true for apparent time.

Leap-Year-Every year the number of which is divisible by 4 without a remainder is a leap-year, except the last year of the century, which is a leap-year only when divisible by 400 without a remainder. Thus the year 1900 will not be a leap-year.

The Asteroids.

About 114 little planets, called Asteroids, have been discovered between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Some of them are so small that to call them worlds might seem inappropriate. But any body having an orbit, though not larger than a cannon-ball, is entitled to rank as a world. Many such may exist which will never be discovered because of their littleness. Very little asteroidal bodies are revolving around the earth, as the moon does. The aerolites, or falling stones, are really such asteroids whose orbits cross the earth's orbit, or else wind spirally inward to the earth as a center.

Their immense establishment., consisting of three five-story buildings, devoted exclusively to the manufacture and sale of Gentlemen's, Youth's, and Children's Clothing, is one of the largest in the city.

The business of the above firm is conducted on the One Price Cash System, and the goods offered by them are unsurpassed in point of style, quality, &c. All their goods are marked in plain figures, the prices of which are far below Broadway rates.

Books and Periodicals devoted to specialties are numerous, yet but few journals give a variety of pure, interesting and instructive reading adapted to the various members of the Family Circle, in both Town and Country. But MOORE'S RURAL NEW-YORKER, the great National Illustrated Rural and Family Weekly, is a notable exception, for, by meeting the wants of Men, Women, and Children, it has become the Favorite Farm and Fireside Journal of America.

The Rural New-Yorker is not only the Standard Authority on Agriculture, Horticulture, &c., but highly esteemed as a Literary and Family Paper. It carefully treats upon more subjects than are discussed in half a dozen ordinary journals, is finely illustrated, and by far the Largest, Best and Cheapest Journal, of its Class, in the World. Indeed, as one of its contem, oraries says, "MOORE'S RURAL is the most elegantly printed, ably edited, widely circulated, and heartily welcomed paper, as a whole, which now finds its way among the people."

The Rural New-Yorker contains 16 double quarto pages, weekly, with title-page, index, etc., every six months, making Two Large and Handsome Volumes a Year. It is first class, wide awake, progressive, and always up to the times-manifesting the true spirit of its inspiriting Motto, "Excel ior," and Laudable Objects, "Progress and Improvement." Terms, $2.50 per year; only $2 in clubs. with great Inducements to Agents. Specimen fumbers, Show-Bills, &c., sent free to all who address D.D. T. MOORE, 5 Beekman St., New York.

MOON.-Lowest, 4th and 31st; perigee, Good Soap, like good wine, is improved by age. Among the ruins of Herculaneum and Pompeii Soap was found in a good state of preservation, after having been buried over 1700 years.

A box of Soap in a family is better than "money at interest," as when from three to six months old, one pound will go further than three pounds of new soap.

Ask your groc r for a box of CRAMPTON'S IMPERIAL LAUNDRY SOAP, and if he does not keep it, send your order to CRAMPTON BROTHERS, 84 Front St. New York.
