THE PRICE OF POWER AND THE WORTH OF FAME.
Sunday, July 1st Yesterday the month dedicated to Juno (Junius, June) by the Romans ended.

To-day we enter on July.
In ancient Rome this latter month was called Quintiles (the fifth), because the year, which was then divided into only ten parts, began in March.

When Numa Pompilius divided it into twelve months this name of Quintiles was preserved, as well as those that followed--Sexteles, September, October, November, December--although these designations did not accord with the newly arranged order of the months.

At last, after a time the month Quintiles, in which Julius Caesar was born, was called Julius, whence we have July.
