Blustery March.

Well did our forefathers name this month
"March many weathers" Only last week peo-
pie greeted each other over the paled garden
fences, talking about an "early spring" "mak-
ing hot-beds" &C., when 10 rude Boreas,
clustering railer," has put 10 flight all our
hopes. Among the Saxons this month bore
the name Lenet. Monat, that is, length-month,
in reference to the frightening of the days at
this season-the origin also of the term Lent.
The Baltimore Sun Calendar says March
18th spring commences" but as that usually
reliable weather prophet failed utterly to
give us warning of the frightful storm of last
Sunday and the days following, Its promise
OF the advent If gentle spring is not alto
gether reassLring.
Says an old writer: It'll we can plant our
foot upon nine daisies and not until that
can be done do the old-fashioned country peo-
pie believe that spring is really come. We
have seen gray-haired grandsire do this and
smile as he called to his old dame to count
Che daisies, and see that his foot fairly cover
ed the proper number" We will wait for
the daisies.
Emperor William of Germany died last
Friday morning, aged nearly OF years. He
was appointed to the regency in 1857, in
place of his brother King Frederick William
~, whose mind had become disordered by
drink, and on the death of his brother in
1860 William succeeded p the throne as
King of Prussia. In 1869 he appointed Otto
Won Bismarck his Prime Minister, and by aid
of the gigantic intellect Of the latter the Ger
man States were united and powerful en-
pire was built up. The dead Emperor left
one son, Frederick William, born in 1881,
and one daughter. The former now sue.
ceeds to the throne under the title of Fred
erick ILL.,, King of Prussia and Emperor of
Germany. The shadow of death, however,
is upon him. He is dying of cancer in the
mouth. The new Emperor's wife is the
eldest daughter of Queen Victoria of Eng
land. They have one son, Frederick Will
liam Victor Albert, who was born in 1869
who is likely very soon to succeed 10 the
throne. The succession being so well settled
It is not probable that any political disturb
ances will take place in consequence of En-
peror Williams death.
