It has been supposed that the origin cf Odd Fellows or rather the organization was of comparatively modern date. They will be surprised, however, says the Cincinnati Times, "to learn that its origin dates as far hack as the time of Nero, and was established by the Roman sol diers in the year 55. At that time they were called 'Fellow Citizens.' The pre sent name was given by Titus Caesar, twenty-four years afterwards; and they were so called from the singular charac ter of their meetings and from their knowing each other by night or day by means of mystical signs and language.- At the same time he presented them with a dispensation, engraved on a plate of gold bearing different emblems of morta lity. In the fifth century the order was established in the Spanish dominions, and in Portugal m the sixth century. - It did not reach France nor England until .the eleventh century. It was then establish ed in the latter country by John De Ne ville, who, assisted by five knights from France, formed a grand lodge in London. This ancient fraternity has now lodges in every quarter of the globe, and, by its usefulness and benevolent character, com mands the respect and countenance cf all who are acquainted with its nature and purposes. Those upon whose informa tion reliance may be placed, give credit to Baltimore for first introducing Odd Fel lowship into the United States, and to Grand Sire Thomas Wide, still living amons: us, belongs the honor. Baltimore Patriot. . Predictions for the Year. The following sagacious predictions are made for the year lbo3: Through the whole course of the year whenever the moon wanes the night wil grow dark. On several occasions during the year the sun will rise before certain people discover it; and set long before they have finished their day s work. . It is quite likely that when there is no business doing, many will be heard com plain or hard times, out it is equally cer tain that all who hang themselves will escape starvation. If bustles, hoops and crinolines go out of fashion, a church pew will hold mere than three ladies. ! If dandies wear beards there will be less work for the barbers, and he who wears moustaches, will have something to sneeze at There' will be many eclipses of virtue, some visible, others invisible. , Whosoever is in love will think his mis tress a perfect angel, and will only find out the truth of his suspicion by getting married. 1 Many delicate ladies, who few or none would suspect, will be kissed without in forming their 'mas. ' . There will be moe boots published than will find purchasers, more bills made than will find payers. If an incumbent of a fat office should die, there will be a dozen feet ready to step into one pair of shoes. If a vounsr ladv should hapnen to blush i ci,-.:n v;0 n. ,n :n tKofnoo J i r - e j Without the use 01 pail.t; ll She dreams Of i a young man three nights in succession, it 1 will be sign of something; if she dreams of ,hm four times, or has the tooth-ache it is ten to one she will be a long time in getting either of them out of her head. -Dinners and entertainments will be gi ven to those who have plenty to eat at home, and the poor - will receive much advice gratis, legal and medical except ed. tHe who marries this year, will run a great risk, more especially if he does it in a very great hurry. He who steals a watch give tattlers great occasion for gossipping, and he will be apt to involve himself and his pride in disagreeable relations. Many young ladies, who hope for it, but little, expect it, will be married, and many who anticipate the glorious consum mation, will be daomed to wait in anxious suspense another year. " Finally there exists little doubt that this will be a most wonderful year, surpassing in interest, thrilling adventure, &.C, aU that ha-e preceded It. ' The world will go around as usual and come "back to the place whence it set out as-"will manyV man who engages in bu siness.: t : : .... - - There will be a great cry acd little wool; both at-the shearing of pigs and the sessions ot Congress. ' It is in any man's power to be conten ded; of very few to be rich. The first will mfaillibly make you happy; which is more than you can depend on from the latter. A traveler says of the unfrequented lo cality of Squeezeable : "Went there once only rode through the town came again eleven years after, and heard ons chap say to another, 'Look he's get a blue snapper to his whiplash this time,' " A treasure of a husband Carries the baby. .
