Minor Notes.
The Day of the Month.
—Many persons might help themselves, as some do, by remembering throughout the year on what day the 1st of January fell, and by permanently remembering the first day of each month, which agrees with the first day of the year. Thus, this present year began on Wednesday, and the 6th of August is therefore Wednesday, as are the 13th, 20th, 27th. By the following lines the key to the months may be kept in mind:—
The first day of October, you'll find if you try,
The second of April, as well as July,
The third of September, which rhymes to December,}
The fourth day of June, and no other, remember,}
The fifth of the leap-month, of March, and November,}
