THE GUELPHS.

How Mrs. Victoria Guelph las her Britanic Ma
jesty used to be very irreverenty styled in the col
umns of the United h1shman) came by her sur
name, may not be known to all readers. From an
old history of Germany, loaned us by friend, we
extract the following legend in regard to the origin
of this dynastic title:
The family of the Guelphs can be traced so far
back as the reign of Charemange. About the
wear 800, there was Count Of Altorf, in Suabla,
whose descendants according to an old legend, OBJ
tanned the name Of Guelph in the following man
ner: Isenbrand, his son and successor, SEW once
and old woman who had three children at birth,
and, thinking this unnatural he called Ter an adul-
teress The old woman In anger at this insult,
prayed Heaven that Irmentraut, wife of the Count,
might have as many children at birth as there
are months in the year. Her prayer was answered,
and Irmentraut vas delivered of twelve boys but,
fearing the severity of her husband character, she
commanded her servant to drown eleven OF them.
Whilst the latter was proceeding to obey her mis-
tres orders, the Count met her and asked her
what was in the basket she was carrying. The
girl, frightened, answered that they were guelphs
(puppies. But the Count, not being satisfied with
the reply, took off the cloth from the basket and
Judging that the children were his own from their
liveliness and strength, he preserved their lives,
educated them secretly, and when they were grown
up took them all again to their mother. One OF 7
the twelve, Guelph the First was the successor OF
Isenbrand

WORLDS END PROPHECIES.

correspondent of the Carlisle E1an,iaer thus
sums up the prophecies which have been current
in various ages regarding the end Of the world:
world will last 6 1000 years 900 before the Law,
1000 under the Law, and 1000 under the Gospel
q There was time when the duration of the
world was thought to be bound up with that of the
Roman Empire, and every comet, every earth
quake, was regarded as portent Of doom.
g. On being asked by the Bishop Of Salone
whether the end of the earth was near, St. Angus
tine replied that in all probability few years re-
spite would be given to it .sg.,
f. From year to year, however, the date of the
crash was put back, and finally the end of the ninth
century was fixed upon, when there was special
expectation and dread lasting till the year 1000,
which had been definitely fixed upon as the wind
up of all things. During that century, ma"v
grants of estates were made to the churches and
monasteries, under the formula, "4ermaao m,a.nd

1.-THE HEAVENS DECLARE THE GLORY OF GOD"
The earth with beauteous worksis filled,
Which tell his wisdom, love and power
The pasture green; the rolling hill;
The modest, tinted, wayside flower;
The placid, silvery, shining lake;
The ocean with its mighty roar
His wondrous love end wisdom speak,
Sounding his praise from shore to shore.
But they're unheeded when we turn
From them to brighter scenes above,
Where Heavens undying fires burn,
Where sparkling hosts in glory move.
The sun, that givest to earth her light
And warns her with his cheering beams,
That gives the flowers their beauty bright
And silvers DER the winding streams;
The moon with mild and gentle ray,
That sheds her soft and placid light
Upon the earth at close of day
To dissipate the gloom of night;
These, gracious God, thy might declare,
And for thy wondrous glory show;
Though earth is bright, her beauties rare,
No works like these are placed below.
And do the glorious Heavens boast
No other gems on high?
Behold the brilliant stellar host,
That studs the azure sky.
A starry cro,on shines brightly there,
Is it like those, which angelswear?
And Lara-has it e'er tone
Like golden harps around the throne?
Majestic does Orion stand,
club uplifted in his hand,
With jeweled sword and starry belt,
As if no scorpion sting he felt
The stars, o God, thy might declare,
And for thy wondrous glory show;
Though earth is bright, her beauties rare,
No works like these are placed below.
Oh who can view the Heavens above,
The ightning's flash - the purple cloud,
And, with heart devoid of love,
With atheists say, "I'here is no Gods'

chased. in 1861, farm of about seven
hundred acres, along the banks of the
Patapsco River, and about six miles
from Baltimore His land cost him
$4,000; he added buildings at cost
of $4,000; his fencing cost him So 900,
and he MANFRED at an outlay of
$67 ,000-making the total cost of his
estate $4,000. During the year
ending on the LIST of May last, his
sales OF milk amounted to $37 $50 II;

Rod, he sold 81. $3.50 worth, and had
fifteen or twenty more animals on
hand than at the commencement of
the year. He, however, purchased
s9,09S worth of cows and heifers dur
ing the year. At the close of the
year he had on hand two hundred and
twenty tons of hay, and his total pro-
duct of hay for the year was estimated
at eighteen hundred tons-a great
average per acre. His system of
manuring tends to build up and

4 WHEATEN GRITs.-Any one can be
supplied with this wholesome and pala-
table food, by getting good white wheat,
and washing and thoroughly drying it.
Then grind it in coffee MILL, kept for
the purpose, setting it to grind as
coarse as possible. Place it in a six
quart tin pail, and pour cold water to
cover it, set this pail into kettle con-
tanning six or eight inches depth of hot
water. Set it to cook for four hours,
stirring occasionally and adding more
water as the wheat swells. Before
taking up, stir in salt to your taste.
Have ready your molds or dishes,
(having first wet them,) and pour in
wheat into them. When cool, they
should turn out like jelly, and be
eaten with cream.-Country Gentle
