Quotes from Boston Transcript, 1895

"Thirty days hath September," Every person can remember; But to know when Easter comes Puzzles even scholars some. When March the twenty-first is past Just watch the silvery moon, And when you see it full and round, Know Easter'll be here soon. After the moon has reached its full, Then Easter will be here, On the very Sunday after, In each and every year. And if it hap on Sunday The moon should reach its height, The Sunday following this event Will be the Easter bright.
~ Boston Transcript, 1895
