A CWP TO TnE DEAD.
t.v Ihfso tltne, when wo Imvo heard and rend
fo "'"r,11 "bout thohorrors und ravnires of cholera,
the rollowlsKiemnikabln poem will be rend with
interest, It Is belieyrd inhnvu orlglnnlly np
iieaied In thoHt. llclinn .Viiriminc, Itielnlesto
I ho early service of EuljI lull of lice rs In India, when
Iho army vvns moweddown by pestilence. When
Mr. JlaeaulayV account of tlio i fleets of sninll
pox In l.niilnml Is rcmcmboitil.ns It describes
tlio separation or blotheis, slters, and lovers, It
will bo seen that this poem Rives, with wonderful
ellect, what Is far nohlir, however painful. Iho
very poetry of inllllary .despair, but still the
uuhw tojithcrat brothers lu nuns.)
Wo met t 'ncath tho roundlm? rarter,
And Iho wnlls around ate bare,
As they shout to our peals or laughter,
It sieins lhat tho dead aro there.
Hut stand to yourgscs, steady ;
Wo drink to our coinindcs' eyes,
Qunir ii cup to the dead nlready ;
Hurrah 1 lor the next that dies.
Not hero aro Hi o gonitis glowing :
Not hero Is tho vintage sweet ;
'TIs cold, ns our hearts nro growing,
And daik ns tho doom wo meet.
Rut stand to your glasses, steady ,
And soon shall our pulses rise
A cup to tlio dead already ;
Hurrah 1 for Uio next Hint dies.
Not ii sigh for the lot that dalklesj
Notntenr for tlio friends that sink;
We'll full, 'midst tho wine-cup's sparkles,
As mute ns the wlno wo drink.

On it curtain occasion, two French
iitiiliiifsndoi's were sent to tlio Spanish
court to negotiate a liiarriago between
one of tlio Cnstiliiui princesses and Louis
VII. Tim names of tlio royal females
were Urraea mid Rliincho, tlio flivt of
whom was tlio elder and the inoro beau
tiful, and was intended by tho court for
tho Eiencli king, but the ambassadors
persisted in their preference for lilanche
on account of her mime, sayinj; th;it
Urrnca would never do. They wero
beiisiblo men. So Rlancho was mado
iinteii hi cause hho had a fair name, and
Ulanclie Is alwiiysniVe'.if not beautiful.
Is there not something in a uanic'.'
I bespeak thotlnuiks of tho yet un
named Henerati.'ins, on whom I hopo to
tonfergreat and lasting benefits by call
ing attention to our personal nomcitcla-tun-.
I will confine, myself in tho pres
ent communication to women's names.
Theru aro nearly two hundred femi
nine Christian names which may be
considered as either native or natural
ized among ns, but scarcely fifty of
lliest) nro In anything like general uso.
Anna, Alice, Caroline, Catharine, Eliza
beth, Elizu, Ellen, Emma, Fanny, liar
riet, Jane, Julia, Lucy, Louisa, Mary,
Martha, Margaret, Sophia and Susan,
witli perhaps if few others, aro univer
sal. They aro all good names when
understnndinBly applied, mid I would
not dUcoiirtigo tlio tno of one of them,
but theioare a hundred others, equally
good, which are .seldom or never used.
Our poverty lu the matter of personal
appellations is truly distressing, as illus
trated in tho fact that in almost every
neighborhood otio may find two or tlircu
Marys and as many Fannys, Ellens,
nnd Lizzies, creating great confusion
unless wo miilio uso of tho oiii'iimno
aloo In .speaking of eacli individual
Mai'y,EIIen, or Fanny. To avoid this
continual repetition, wo should bring
into uso a greater variety of pretty
nanus.
Mary, although somo etymologists
translate i mttrai (Olttcr), is onu of tho
sweetest as well as tho commonest ever
given to women, I prefer to consider
It as signifying rxalttd, or, us another
authority has it, star of the sea. Maria
und Marie (tho latter being French) aro
merely other forms ot tho same unite,
and, of course, Imvo tho sumo meaning;
Martha means bitterness, which, nUs I
Is too often blgiilHc.iut of tho lot of wo
maul but our Malthas may bo sweet
girls In splto of tlio.etymuloglits.
Anna, Anne, I Junnali, and probably
Nliiiiaud Nancy, aro all from thori.iiuo
root, signifying gracious or Und, of
which fact tho fair owners of thoso prio
nouieiis will pleaso to tako notice, and
govern themselves accordingly. Jane,
now generally familiarized Into Jenny
(pleaso don't write it Jenny!) though
dlllerently derived, has tho s.imo mean
lug as tlio foregoing,
Ellen was originally Helen (Latin,
Jlclena; French, Iteteiie), According
to somu etymologists, It has tlio mean
lug oUtllartiKj, while othurs define it as
one who pities. Many n Helen, slnco"
sho of Troy, lias proved alluring, and
somo Imvo shown that pity which Is
akin to lovo. Ella Is only a variation
of Ellen.
For Sarah (Hebrew, Sum or .S'cca;
uud Arable, Jfttra) wo find two defini
tions ( princess uud the morning slur.
Lucy rjlgulllcs Ilka ttght,w thouaiuu
was anciently given to girls born nt
day-break, Aurora, Aureola, mid Au
roro olden, the dawn or morning ted
(ifijfJi JJcrtlin (diiiVAi"), imil Clara (clear),
may bo grouped with It,
Louisa (French, Louise) Is tho foinl
nlno of Louis, nnd luej tlio meaning of
protector, or one who famishes a place of
refuge or of rest. It Is sweetest In its
familiarized or pot form of Lou,
Fanny, or, inoro formally, Francos, Is
frank or free; Ellziboth (hotter its Liz
zy), Isabel, and Eliza, hue ; nnd Sophia,
tt'tsrfowi.
Catherine, or Kutlmiino, derived from
tho Greek, Kathuic pure or chaste,) Is
ono of tho best of alt our fenialo names.
It la pretty in its Irish modification,
Kathleen, and mostuttractivo us Kate.
Caroline, Charlotte, und C.trlottu.wlth
their diminutives, Lotta, Lotty, Carry,
Llna, nml Lily, nro all feminine forms
of Charles (Spanish, Carlos; CJermun,
Karl), which conies from tfio Sclavonic
Krot, a king; nnd tho fair owners of
theso ilno names should, therefore, bo
ryifftti queens of hearts.
Julla.of which Jullotta mid Juliet nro
simply diminutives, signifies soft-hair-ed;
Harriet, mistress of the house; and
Alice, a princess.
Emma should bo tender, affectionate,
Mothcrli. Tho linmo is said to signify,
literally, o;ic who nurses, varesfor, or
teutches over another; but another an
thorlty translates it industrious.
Susan signifies a lily, and Is u fitting
namo font tall, slender, flowcr-llko girl,
of fair complexion and natlvo grace.
As companions for this, Lilian (lily,
like) uud Istnllna (white lily-bud) may
be mentioned. Tlio last is of Indian
derivation, but might appropriately
grnco (lie fairest or Anglo-Saxon maid
ens. Muigurct comes to us from tho Latin
margarita, a pearl. Rut another, nnd,
if possible, a still more beautiful signlfi
cation, has, curiously enough, attached
it.ielftolho name. Tho German word
mugd, a maid, was anciently written
maretc nnd maghet, which words wero
ea-ily confused with Madge, nnd thus
with Margaret. Daisies were also called
maghtts, maids, or margarets, whence
wo have tho French, marguerites,
daisies.
Among the beautiful names less fre
quently met with uro : Agues, chaste ;
Agatlm, kind: Amelia nnd Amy (from
the French verb aimer, to love,) beloved;
Adaline, of noble, birth; Eleanor, all
fruitful; Gertrude, all truth; Qrncc,
Attw; Matilda, ft brave maid; Laura,
a laurel; Pliebe, radiant or light of life;
and Edilli, rich.
Now, why not add Indefinitely to
this list by introducing beautiful mimes
formerly in use, but now entirely obso
lete, and by tho adoption of such for
eign und classic ones us nro adapted to
tho genius of our language? I will sug
gest it few which seem lo conform to
these 'conditions, and to bo in every
way wortliy of tho yet-to bo-cliristened
daughters of America.
Reatrico one who blesses) Is a sweetly
significant name. It is n favorite ono
in Italy, nnd not entirely unknown
here. It should be more common ; und
tho same may be paid of Lotltla, Joy;
Irene, peace; Lulu, good; Rlanclio,nir;
Miranda, admirable (see Shakespeare,
in "1'ho Tempest"); Eve and Eva, life
giving or fiuitful; Ruth, satisfied; und
Salome, peaceful.
Alniah is ol oriental origin, and sig
nifies a virgin. Alma (without the h)
is L'iti n, ami means benign, genial, or
one who'nurtuies or cherishes. Cora is a
maiden; Julia, youthful (ever young
sho should be) and Rarbaru, sliaiuje or
foreign.
Tho promim of great beauty may be
acknowledged by such a namo as Mabel
(ma belle), my fair one ; Amanda, love
ly; Rebecca, of enchanting beauty; or
best of all, Calistu, most beautiful; An
nuel (lrom unnuh,m linunaii, Mulbelle)
signifies hind and beautiful; and Clari
bel, bright and beautiful.
I have mentioned Bevcrnl ioral names.
There aro others which ono might wear
us blin would n crown of fragrant bios
soma. For iiistunco: Roo nnd Rhodu,
a rose; Viola, a violet; Florence, bloom
ing; Flora, the goddensof Jhweis; Olive,
the olive-lnc (or symbolically, jicucc); Al

aUhainu, I hcul ; hence, also, very beau
tl fully, us well us appropriately, the

I have room for only u few more out
of the many that might be offered, but
must mention Minn, love; Stella and
Estollu, a jr; Norn (Ilouom) honor;
Evadne, tullplamiig ; Mlllicent (prettier

Tiierk wero five of us yes, flvo ns
happy fellows as ever wero let looso
from college. It was "vacation," nnd
wo concluded to tako n trip to tho
Falls. Wo got aboard tliu cars nt N..
and wero soon traveling very rapidly
towurus our tiestlnntlon. Wo had lust
seated ourselves and prepared tot n
comrorlnbio smoke, when in came tlio
conductor, nnd who should it bo but
our old rrlend R. After tho common
salutlons hud passed, Fred said ho lind
somo business for us to attend to.
"Out with It, old chum," said wo.
"Anything ut all will be acceptable, so
let us Imvo it."
"Well, boys," said he, "in the next
car there is ns loving n pair ns It was
ever my lot lo seo. They uro going
down to II, to get married; and now if
you can have any fun over it, just pitch
in."
In a moment ho was gone, uud wo
set our heads together to form a plan.
"I liavo It, boys," said Bill Steevers.
"Wo must make tho girl think that her
lover is mnrried "
"That's it Bill that's it," said we,
not giving him time to finish tlio sen
tenco. "That ho ha married man, nnd the
father of children," said Bill.
It devolved upon mo to commencoop
orations. Accordingly, I entered tho
car in which wo wero informed tho lov
ers were. Sure enough, there they
were. Tho girl, thinking, I suppose,
that she must give her lover nil tho sent
had taken her seat on his knee, nnd lie
ror the purpose or protecting her, had
thrown his arm around her waist; nnd
so they sat in real soft lover's style. All
this I gathered ut n glanro. Stepping
up to thorn, I said: "
"Why, Jones, what in tho deuco nro
you doing with this girl ?"
The girl rose hastily and seated her
self on the scat.
"See here, stranger," said tho fellow,
"you aro n mito mistaken; my namo
ain't Jones."
"Why, Jones," said I, "you certain
ly haven't left your wife and children,
and tried to palm yourself off for u sin
glo man, have you V"
"I tell you my name ain't Jones; it's
Harper. It never was Jones 'taint go
ing to be, nutiier."
I merely shook my head and passed
on to anotherseat to seo the rest of the
fun. About the time tho couple got
reeling all right again, in came Elliott
Gregg. Walking up to Harper, ho ac
costed him with
"Why, Jones, you here? How did
you ieavo your wire and babies?"
"Now see here, stranger, you ain't
t ho fust man that's called me Jones to
day, nn' I reckon I must look awfully
llko him, but I ain't Jones, an' moro'n
tlint, you musn't cull mo Jones. I
hain't got a wife nor babies either; but
this ero gal an' mo is going to splico,
and then you can talk about my wife,
and I wouldn't wonder but what, In
course of time, you might talk about
babies, too; but you musn't call me
Jones!"
This retort brought forth vociferous
laughter from tho spectators, nnd it
nlso brought blushes to the fiico of tho
girl that "was goin' to bo spliced."
"Ah, Jones," said Gregg, "you'll ro
gret this in tlio future. I pity your
wife nnd tills poor girl."
"So, Mr. Harper, your mil namois
Jones, is It'.' and you'vo been fooling
me, Imvo you? Well, wo ain't spliced
yet, and I don't think wo shall bo verv
soon," said tho girl, andhereycsflaslicd'r
fire.
"Jane, Jane!" said Harper, "don't
you know I'm Rill Harper? Thalr
ain't a darned drop of Jones blood in
me, an' I'll prove It.
At tills moment, Jeff. Jackson, Bill
Steevers1, and Jem Beyers entered, nnd
of course tli"eir attention was called to
Harper by his loud talking. They
stepped up to lilm, and said
"Why, Jones, what is all this fuss
about?"
This was mom lliitii Harper could
stand. IIo leaped up on n seat.
"Now," said he, "my namo is not
Jones, nn' I can lick tlio follow that

By this tlino wo had got to H and

It would seem, from tlio frequent oc
currence of remarknblo incidents, tlint
thero is certainly nothing of an im
probablo naturo, Judging from tho fol
lowing wonderfully strange anil haidly
creditublo story which camo lo our ears
u fow days since:
In the spring of 1849, when tho gold
fever was nt its highest posslbio atato of
excitement in California, thero lived in
tho state of Virginia, on the banks of
tho York rlver,a rew miles below York
towi', n gentleman of culture, whose
jiarcnts wero In moderate circumstan
ces. It was during the gold excitement
ho left tlio comforts of a home, his
friends, relntivcs, a loving wife whom
ho had lctl to tho altar but a year since,
and nn only child a daughter or two
months and took up his lonely Jour
ney to seek his fortune In tho wild, dis
tant West, over and beyond tho Rocky
Mountains, whorotho bright nnd gold
en sun sinks down to rest amid the blue
waves of tho grund Pnclflc.
After years of toll, drudgery, and re
verses of" fortuno lu tho mines, ho enmo
to this city and engaged in business.
He, being successful, soon nmassed an
lmmenso fortune. His beloved wlfo
lind died luring a prevailing cpidomic
while on a visit to somo relatives dur
ing tho yellow-lever season at New Or
leans, nsnt the sumo time did a littlo
girl of another fnmily,oftho sumo namo
and ago as his i ittle duughter. He vis
ited tlio States, but could find no clue
to his decensed wire's sister; ho thought
naturally, she, too, had died. Ho re
turned to the Golden State, and time
und tho whirling excitement or business
toon henied ills sorrows, nnd effaced ap
parently, all recollections of his old
homo on tho batiks or the placid York.
Shortly after tho completion or the
Pacific Railroad thero arrived at this
city a gentleman, his wlft), nnd a beau
tiful, well-educated, and graccrul young
ladyjustbloominginto maidenhood, ap
parently and really ornbout 1 8 summers.
It was by chance tlio youug lady and
