Note.—The calculations of this Almanac are made to solar or apparent Time.
A table of the equation of time has been placed at the top of each Calendar page,
for the convenience of those who may wish to keep the Mean Time. When the
Mean Time is wanted, the Equation of Time taken from said Table, must be ap¬
plied to the apparent Time. When the Sun is slow, the Equation of Time, taken
from said Table, must be added to the apparent Time, hut when he is fast, it must
he subtracted from the apparent Time, in order to obtain the Mean Time.

ALMANAC FOE 1869.
At all of the above places the Sun will be centrally eclipsed,
and totally eclipsed for from 2 to 3j^m.
At Wilmington, N. 0., the Eclipse will be total, but only for a
few seconds. At the latter place, the quantity of Eclipse will be
just 12 digits on the North Limb.
The centre of the Moon's shadow, in this Eclipse, will enter
N. America near Behring's Strait, and will leave it at Cape Look¬
out, in North Carolina.
At Columbus, 6a., the quantity of Eclipse, will be about 11
digits ; at Macon, Ga., 11 1-5 ; at Augusta, Ga., 11% \ at Charles¬
ton, S. C., 11% ; at Nashville, Tenn, 11 3-5. At all the above
places, the Eclipse will be on the North Limb of the Sun. At Ra¬
leigh, N. C.. 12 2-5 digits will be eclipsed on the Sun's South Limb,
and at Richmond, Va., 11 7-10 digits will be eclipsed on his South
Limbfc.
Not many persons have had an opportunity of sc ing the Sun
totally eclipsed, for not more than one total eclipse of the Sun
occurs in a century, at any given place on the earth ; and at some
places, two or three centuries have been known to elapse wilhout
the recurrence of a total Eclipse of the Sun.
When a total Eclipse of the Sun happens near , mid-day, and has
its greatest duration, it is a sublime and imposing phenomenon ;
the ignorant and the wise, gaze upon it wi'h admiration, the
lower tribes of animated nature are stricken with fear, the tem¬
perature of the air sensibly decreases, and the dew falls ar.d set¬
tles upon the grass, and the Planets and Stars aro seen throughout
the heavens.

The foregoing table shows the difference in time between Augusta and the
places specified. For instance, suppose you were at Macon, and wished to have
or to know the Augusta time, all you would have to do to obtain it, would be to
observe the exact time of the Sun's passage over the Meridian of that place, and
then find Macon in the table, and take out the difference in time for that place,
and add it to apparent neon at Macon, and you would have the Augusta apparent
time. If you should wisn thq Macon time at Augusta, you should apply the
" Equation of Time," taken from the top of the Calendar page, according to the
instructions given, for using that table
All the places in the table, marked with an asterisk (*), are nearly in the Lat¬
itude of Augusta, and therefore the Sun will rise and set, at said places at the
same relative hour and minute at which he rises and sets at Augusta. At all the
places not marked, the Sun's relative rising and setting will differ from his relative
rising and setting at Augusta ; and the difference will increase as their Latitudes
from that of Augusta increase.
A few places in the table are marked thus ——, which shows that they are
East of Augusta; therefore the difference m lime between them aiid Augusta,
mu*t be subtracted from their respective times, in order to obtain the Augusta time.
At all places in the Latitude of Augusta, all around the glode, the Sun rises and
sets at the same relative hour and minute, at which he rises and sets at Augusta.

ALMANAC FOK 1869.
Interest.—The following arc believed to be tbc most practical, and the most
easily remembered methods of computing Interest.
To find the interest on any amount for a given number of days, at b percent,
multiply the amount by the number of days, and divide the product by 60; the
quotient will show the interest in cents.
Example,.—What is the interest oh $1,780 79 for twenty-three days ?
1780.79 Subtract one-third for 4 percent.
23 " one-sixtli " 5 "
Add one-sixth " 7 "
60140958.17 " one-third " 8 "
" one-half " 9 "
$6.82 two-thirds" 10 "
The interest on $100. at 7 3-10 per cent., is 2 cents a day.
To find the interest on any amount for a given number of days, at 7 3-10 per
cent., multiply the amount by 2, and that product by the number of days. The
result will give the amount of interest in cents.
3220
Example.—To find the interest on $3220 2
for seventy-five days : —
6440
$48 30

When gold is quoted at $1 20, a paper dollar is worth 83 cents.
When gold is quoted at $1 25, a paper dollar is worth 80 cents.
When gold is quoted at $1 30, a paper dollar is worth 77 cents.
When gold is quoted at $1 35, a paper dollar is worth 74 cents.
When gold is quoted at $1 40, a paper dollar is worth 71 cents.
When gold is quoted at $1 45, a paper dollar is worth 69 cents.
True religion cheers adversity, tempera prosperity, and animate^
us with hope in the hour of death.
Hopes and cares, anxieties and tears, divide our life.
He who is angry with his just reprover, kindles the fire of the.just
avenger. ;
No race in this country will be despised which makes money.
Of all the agonies of life, that which is most poignant and harrow¬
ing, is the conviction that we have been deceived where we placed
all the trust of life.
Money will be a blessing or a curse, according to the dketfcflon
or indiscretion of the possessor. - t ,
Wisdom is the olive which springs from the heart, bloods pn the
tongue, and bears fruit in the actions. , .
By taking revenge a man is but even with his enemy ; but an
passing it over, he is superior.
Let no man be ashamed of wot k, a hard hand and a sun bkrat
brow.
Time never sets heavily on us, but when badly employed, or
when we have no employment.
Refrain irom bitter words, there is only one letter between them
and svvords.

THE <*ahben.
In the important matter of Gardening, due regard
must, be had to all the surroundings, and intelligent
modifications and variations made of, and from, any and
every " rule " which may, or possibly can be, laid down.
Is your garden spot high or low ? Exposed to the bleak
north wind, or sheltered from its blasts ? Shaded by
trees, or open to the Sun? These questions decided,
proceed accordingly. First—Read all through the fol¬
lowing directions and see if there is not.something which
you must prepare now in order to be ready then. WORK!
This is the continual watch-word in the garden. Work !
Work all the time., and success is certain:
January.—Of course your garden has not been permitted to ran t<9 waste du¬
ring the few cold months of the past year; but if such be the case, prepare
the soil at once—it is never too cold to turn up the soil for the action of the wea¬
ther. If no fertilizers have been applied commence their use immediately, and
as soon as possible, sow Peas, Spinach, Cabbages, Beets, Lettuce, Radishes, Pars¬
nips, Salsify, Asparagus, Carrots, and Parsley. Plant Horse-radish and Irish
Potatoes.
February.—In many portions of our favored clime, much progress has been
made in the garden, aud those who have followed our directions for January are
now ready to transplant Cabbages, Lettuce, etc. Continue to plant Peas, of
which there are so many good varieties that it would be presumptuous in us to
discriminate. Beans should be planted now; also, Cauliflower should be sown.
The soil for, should be well manured and tilled, before sowing seed, or transplant¬
ing. All the seed mentioned in the previous month may now be sown, for con¬
tinuance. Look after the Asparagus bed. In warm, dry situations Squashes and
Melons may be planted, but have at hand means of protection against unfavor¬
able weather.
March.—Peas continue to plant. Cabbage plants, from winter beds, transplant,
especially Landreth's Large York and Early York, which are superior to the im¬
ported, being larger and bearing the heat better. Remember, to have flne head
Cabhage and Lettuce, deep culture and highly mauured soil is required. Onions
and Leeks sow. Tu> nips, sow a few, they may succeed. Potatoes riant. Car¬
rots and Pai snips sow, if enough were not sown last mouth. Mustard, Cress and*
Curled Lettuce for small salid, sow at least once a fortnight. Parsley sow. To¬
mato sow in warm situation ; Those from the hot-bed may be set. out. Peppers
row close of this month* Meloos, both Citron and Ay ater, sow. Cuoufobers sow.
Okrasow; also Squash and Pumpkins. Beets and other root crops sown last
month will be advancing; they should be thinned and cultivated. Celery and
Spinach sow. Asparagus beds, dress if not already done. Strawberry beds, set
out. Artichokes, if slipped and dressed last month, should have attention.
April —Plant Beans sow some Peas, in order to have an uninterrupted succes¬
sion. Spring-sown Cabbage will now oe fit to transplant; manure well, if you ex¬
pect fine heads. About the middle or latter end ol this month, sow Drumhead,
Flat Dutch, and Drumhead Savoy Cabbage Seen for plants to be set out in June.
Cauliflower and Broccoli may be sown. Asparagus is now in season; fioe over
the beds to exterminate the weeds. Sow Radishes, the White Summer and Yel¬
low Turnip-rooted, are the best for this season. Lettuce may be transplanted, or
what is preferable, drilled, where intended to bead. Sow Celery. Plant more
Cucumbers and Melons ; also Squashes. The fertilizer best adapted to these
28

vines is compost prepared the past season, formed of decomposed manure, 'well
rotted sod, wood earth, .fee. It is sufficiently stimulating, will not he likely to
burn the plants during dry weather, and the vines will hear better than when
rampant from exciting applications. Okra sow, if not already in. The vigilant
gardener will keep his eye upon the weeds—an hour's work now, will equal a day's
when the grounds get foul.
May.—BeaDS, Snap, Lima, and Sewee, plant. Cabbage sow for "Winter. Cau¬
liflower and Broccoli sow, though they may be difficult to preserve. Lettuce sow
in drills to head; it cannot be relied on at this season, and small salading should
be provided. Radish, sow the Yellow Turnip-rooted and Summer White, if any.
Spinach sow; hut it will soon snoot. Melons, Cucumbers, and Squashes, may "be
put in. Corn, Sugar and Evergreen Sugar, plant for succession. Peppers and
Tomato sow for plants to be set out.for later crops.
June.—Transplant Cabbage, Cauliflower, and Broccoli; and seed may be sown
as a succession for Autumn heading, but it is uncertain. Cucumbers, Melons,
and Squashes may be planted. Sow Tomato for a succession. The chief labor
in the garden had better be directed to what is already in growth; but few. seeds
sown in hot weather in a southern climate, repay the trouble.
Jrri.Y—Sow sparingly of Early Dutch Turnips, Ruta Baga, Carrots, Parsnips,
Cabbage, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Endive, Radishes, Spinach. Plant Snap Beans,
Irish Potaio-s, Melons. Transplant Cabbages, Celery, Cauliflower, Broccoli, To¬
matoes, and Leeks.
August.—Cabbage seed sow to head in November; Landreth's Large York is
most proper; the Battersea is also an excellent variety at this season. Broccoli,
and Cauliflower sow and transplant from an earlier sowing. Onions sow for Au¬
tumn. Carrots also. Squash sow. Ruta Baga sow for main stock, to make up
deficiencies in July sowing. Turnips for table use sow at short intervals. Pota¬
toes plant for Winter use. Lettuce drill for heading. Radishes sow from time to
time. Beets may be sown for the Winter supply.
September —Sow Early Dutch and other varieties of Turnips, Ruta Baga,
Swisschard Mangle Wurtzle, Carrots, Parsnips, Salsafy, Lettuce, Spinach, Cabbage,
Cauliflower, Broccoli, Celery, Leeks, Endive.
October.—Bgans planted last mouth, cultivate. Cabbage transplant; also Cau¬
liflower and Broccoli. Turnips hoe. Onions sown last month will be ready to
transplant; the small bulb. Onions set out. Bee remarks under head of Jan-
nary. Garlic and Eschallots plant. Spinach for Winter use sow. Celery earth
up in dry weather, and transplant from seed-beds for further supplies ; also Let¬
tuce for Spring use. Radishes sow as required. Artichokes dress preparatory
to Winter. Asparagus beds dress. Strawberries transplant.
November.—Sow Peas, Cabbages, Radishes, Carrots, Spinach, Turnips, Pars¬
nips, Lettuce, Beets, Salsafy. Plant Mazaron and Windsor Beans. Transplant
Caboage, Lettuce, Onions and Leeks.
.December.—Peas may be sown to succeed those of November. See remarks
under that bead. Cabbage plants sown in October will be fit to put out. Sow
Landreth's Early York, to head in January and February. Sow Radishes and
Lettuce. Lqok after the Spinach, tlrin it as you collect for daily use. Small
Unions may still be planted. Prepare ground for Carrots. Earth up Celery in
dry weather. Tie up Endive. Prune Fruit Trees, Vines, <&c. Transplant all
hardy plants.
Breakfast. Cakes, or Balls.—One pint of unbolted wheat, milk enough to
make a thick batter, one egg, a little salt, half a small teacup of molasses, one
dessert spoon of yeast powder. Fry in lard, one teaspoonful for each ball. They
are delicious.
Buckwheat Cakes.—Two cups of buckwheat, one cup of flour, half a cup of
yeast, made in a thin batter; rise over night. Before cooking, add two teaspoon
fnls of white sugar and one of soda.

Cure for Cougii or Hoarseness.—Chip up fat lightwood and
put a handful of the chips into a piot of common spirits. A tea-
spoonful in a wine glass of water on going to bed will cure a hoarse¬
ness, and if taken three times a day, or whenever a^ cough is trouble¬
some, it will effect a speedy cure. A few chips thrown into a hot
shovel and the odor breathed, will be found servicible in lung com¬
plaints, and is calculated to relieve asthma. This is much cheaper
than " Cherry Pectorals, " and.equally efficacious.
Interesting to Bachelors—Substitute for Wives.—
Among the new inventions is a button fastened to cloth without
thread. It is said to consist solely of a button with a wire, to be in¬
serted into the cloth like a cork-screw, and then pressed down flat,
so as to form a ring to hold the button to its place. As this inven
tion will enable every man to keep the buttons on his shirt himself,
it is calculated to do away with wives altogether.
