ed by 'be Plymouth Company to (’.apt.
John Mason, by patent in 1639, an ! was
derived from the patentee, who was gov
ernor of Portsmouth, in ..pshire. ling
land. Vermont is from vtrd. green, and
moat, mountain. Massachusetts was so
named from a tribe of Indians in tiie vi
cinity of Boston. Roger Williams says,
the word signifies “ blue hills." Rhode
Gland was so called in 1661, in relation
to the island of Rhodes in the Mediter
ranean New York was named in honor
of the Duke of York, to whom this terri
tory was granted. Pennsylvania was
called after William Penn. In 1661 the
Duke of York made a grant of what is
now the State of New Jersey to Lord
Berkley and Sir George Ca-terel, and it
received its name in compliment to the
latter, who had been governor of the Is- I
land of Jersey. Delaware was so called !
in 1702. after Lord De La Ware. Ma
ryland was named in honour of Henrietta
Maria, queen of Charles I., in his patent

Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illi
nois, Indiana, Ohio, Aikarisns and Mis

excepting, perhaps, Kentucky—and their
meanings are involved in some obscurity.
Tennessee is said to signify a curved spoon;
Illinois, the river of men ; Mississippi, the
whole river, or a river formed by the
union of many. Michigan was named
from the luse on its borders. Iowa is an
Indian name; also, Texas—signifying
“ beautiful ” California was thus named
by the Spaniards, nt a very early day.

Verification of the Scriptures.—
One of the most interesting of the monu
ments of undent Rome, and one which
strikingly confirms an important portion
of Scripture prophesy, is the triumphal
arch which was erected to commemorate
the conquest of Jerusalem by Titus Ves
pasian. After the destruction of the Tem
ple. the victorious conqueror made a tri
umphal match to Rome, bringing with
him a long train of captive Jews, aud the
spoilsof war, among which were the sacred
vessels of the Temple. This procession is
represented in the beautiful arch, which I
thus furnishes an illustration of the Iliblo |
that is nowhere else to he found, these
being the only existing representations of
the sacred vessels—the table of the show
bread, the golden candle-stick with its
seven brunches, and the silver trumpets
which were used by the prieststo proclaim
the year of jubilee. The Roman Senate
and people Rule thought, when they were
erecting this monument to a deified empe
ror, that they were nlso erecting a monu
ment to the true God, in the verification of
prophesy and divine history. A recent
traveler says that not one of the Jews of
Rome, of whom t lie re are about six thou
sand, will pass under ‘the arch of Titus,
even to this day, although it spans one of
the thorough-fares of the city. They shun
it as a memorial of a subjugation of their
naiion. which has never vet been retrieved ;
and hence they regard it with aversion.
-Some poet has written the following
sentiment: *‘Oh, she was fair; bnt sorrow
came ancl left its traces there.” He does not
state what became of the balance of the har
ness.
-The difference between a cat and a
document is, that one has paws at the end of i
its claws, and the other has pauses at the end
of its clauses.
