"Good morning. Sir, Mr. Editor, how is the
folks to-day I
I owe you for next year's paper, I thought I'd
come in and pay.
And Jones is agoin' to take it, and this is his
money, here :
I shut down lendin' it to him, and then coaxed
him to try it a year.
And bere is a few little items that happened
last week iu our town
I thought they'd look good for the paper, and
so 1 just jotted 'em down.
And here's a basket of cherries my wife picked
expressly for you ;
And a mall bunch of flowers from Jennie
she thought she must send somethin', too.
You're doin the politics bully, as all of our
family scree ;
Just keep your old goose quill a flapping and
give 'em a good one for me.
ADd now yon are chuck fall of business, and
I won't be Ukin tour time ;
I've things ef my own I mtut tend to good
day, sir, I b'lieve I will climb."
The Editor sat in his sanctum and brought
- down bis fist with a thump ;
"Uod bless that old farmer," he muttered,
''he's a regular jolly old trump ;
And 'tis thus with our noble profession, and
thus it will ever be still :
That there are some who appreciate its labor,
and some who perhaps never will.
But in the great time that is coming, when
Gabriel's trumpet shall sound.
And they who have labored and rested shall
come from the quivering ground:
When they who have striven and suffered to
teach and ennoble the race.
Shall march at the front of the column, each
one in the God given place.
As they march through the gates of The City
with proud and victorious tread.
The editor, printer and devil, will travel not
far from the head.
KAMES AND T11E1R MEANINGS.
Ia school lists, on cards of invitation,
and wherever else young girls' names are
written or printed, tve constantly find in
what are called "pet names," new varia
tions from old usage. Mamie, Minnie,
Glemmie, Louie, Bertie, Tudie, Lottie,
Etlie, Millie, Moliic, Mattie, Treasie,
Hattie, Nettie, Katie, Addie, Lidie, Eifie,
Sadie, Carrie, Gertie. Josie, are to be
found, with many more of the like char
acter. The above samples are both suffi
cient to make the ridiculous nature of the
custom apparent, and to show that ab
surdities grouped together do not support
each other, but make each instance more
ridiculous by association. The only ex
cuse for "misnaming" the young ladies is,
that these titles are supposed to be terms
of affection and endearment. The plea to
a degree is valid, where the use of the
"pet names" is confined to the family cir
cle, or is Ibe privilege of very intimate
friends. But to write such names, to sign
them to formal letters, to record them in
school or other catalogues, and, worse
than ail, to print them in any connection,
is to widen the .'family circle" exceed
ingly, and to increase "intimate friend
ship" indefinitely. .. .
A little travestie of fashionable corres
pondence was published some years ago,
which puts in an amusing light the ab
8urdityjxth of writing pet names and of
fashionable precocity. The writers are
supposed to be young ladies of eight years
or thereabouts such young ladies are
now figuring in "childrens balls" at the
watering places, if the "correspondents"
truly report. The first note ran thus:
"Mies Minnie Smith's compliments to
Miss Maggie Jones, and desires the pleas
ure of her company this evening. Re
freshments at eleven." The response was :
Miss Maggie Jones' compliments to Miss
Minnie Smith, with regrets that "prior en
gagements" preclude the pleasure ot ac
ceptance. She is to be whipped at seven,
and sent to bed without her supper at
eight." .
In order to sea what is lost by the de
facing of honored names, till their origin
can scarcely be recognized, it may be in
teresting to trace the significance of a few
of the names which in one sense their
frequency may be called common names.
The first., Mary, which in its various le
gitimate forms, is borne, probably by
more persons in Christian lands than any
other name.' Maria, Marion and Mi
riam have been adopted as English names,
and all have the 'same signification. The
first on record who bore the name of Mi
riam was the sister of Moses and Aaron.
The derivation which was most general
ly accepted was Marab, bitter; and as
Miriam was one of. the - children of the
captivity in Egypt, it is not difficult to
imagine why this name r was chosen.
Whatever was its origin, the first wearer
of the name made it a common one in Is
rael, perhaps from the association of Mi
riam, with the triumph at the, lied Sea.
For an obvious reason the name has. al
ways been highly popular among Chris
tians ; and the poet seems to have put in
verse a universal sentiment when he wrote
"I have a passion for the name of Mary."
Elizabeth or Elisheba was the wife of
Aaron, the mother of a Jewish priest
hood; and Elizabeth, the wife of Zacba
riab, the priest, was the mother of John
the Baptist.
Thus curious is the name connected
with the beginning of the two dispensa
tions. The meaning of the name is "God
hath sworn," and it is therefore an appeal
to his covenant. Elissa, the name of the
Queen who founded Carthage, better
known as "Dido," Is the same as Elisa
beth. So are Isabel, Isabella and Eliza,
other forms of the same name ; Esther,
Hester, Stelle and Kstelie mean a star 5
Lawra signifies a laurel ; Ann, Anna,
Ilanna, are all variations of the same
name, which' mean grace ; Margaret,
pearl ; Maitha is from the same root as
Mary ; Susan and Susanuah, lily, Ka-
chel, an ewe; Lydia is from the name
of a province in Asia, said by Josephus to
nave been founded by the children of Lud,
fourth son of Shem ; Charlotte and Caro
line are feminine forms of Charles or
Karl, signifying a man or manly ; Emily,
Amy and Amelia may mean affable and
industrious, and Imma, sometimes con
founded with them, seems, like Mamma,
to have come from the first lispings of the
child, and is said to mean grandmother.
Ellen, Helen and Helena mean light, in
the sense of luminous. Catherine or
Katherine, pure ; Clara, Clarissa and
Claribel come from famous or fair. Jane
and Joanna mean the grace of the Lord.
Abagail, meaning the father of Joy, must
be read the cause of Joy. Debora is a
bee. Dorothea and Dora mean the gift
of God. Dorcas is a gazelle. Augusta
is venerable honorable or stately, if
young ladies like that better. Agues is
pure. . Alice means noble cheer, good for
a housewife. Amanda means worthy to
be loved. Phoebe means shining. Bridget
means strength. Harriet is a household
name, meaning home rule. What the
very pleasant name Cecilia may mean is
disputed. The Human Ca;cilian family
objected to the legend that their ancestor
was blind, as the name would import, and
invented other legends. The present pop
ularity of the name comes from St. Ce
cilia the' martyr who sang whh her last
breath and is in the calendar, as' the pa
troness of music. Matilda should be able
to hold her own, her name meaning battle
maid. Sophia is wisdom ; Sbphonia, of a
strong mind. Rebecca or liebeka comes
from a root signifying to bind, and is ap
propriately introduced in a prayer in the
Episcopal marriage service. Louisa means
famous holiness. Frances is fiee. Ger
trude means spear-maid. Antoinette is
inestimable ; Arabella, an eagle heroine.
Koxana is the dawn of day ; Khoda, a
rose. Milicent means strength ; Malvi
na, a handmaid ; Florence, flourishing ;
Wilhelniina, like Wilhelm and William,
helmet of resolution. The list of names
with their significations might be indefi
nitely extended ; but what are here given
will suffice to show how much better the
honest old forms are than any school-girl
lravestie. If our young ladies were to
investigate their own names, and also
seek out the meaning and history of other
common things for words are things,
and all things have a history they would
find in such a pursuit both recreation and
instruction. Phila. Ledger.
How to be Nouodv. The following
rules are full of the severe irony of truth.
Strictly obeyed, thay will secure to any
boy or young man the bitterest failure
that his worst enemy could wish :
' Spend your leisure time on a whisky
barrel. Drink as much as you can pay
for, or get others to pay for, or gel on
credit. Smoke cigars in the same ratio.
Master the intricacies of dominoes, bil
liards and checker?. Above all things
make yourself an adept at card playing.
Chess, the game of intelligent young men
who foolishly desire to be somebody, you
should eschew.
Don't read anything except the dime
novels of the day. Cultivate the impres
sion that all women like to be insulted,
and that nil men' are thieves. If you
should ever become conscious of a descent
emotion to which weakness, alas I the
most of us are liable at odd moments
crush it out with a little impromptu black
guardism, or drown it in a horn of whis
ky. .
Make fun of your mother behind her
back, and never think because thinking
is dangerous of how much she has done
for you. ' Cheat your father, and borrow
your sister's little savings. , . .
Do these things, and whatever elae vile
and worthless that shall suggest itself to
you, and your ambition will be sated.-
You shall stagger and swagger through
life, too insignificant to be despised,' and
tumble into your grave almost too loath
some to be pitied.
v,A Sad Warning to Husbands. In a
village, not a thousand miles from West
Union, lives a family. The house of this
family was visited one day by a peripate
tic vender of cheap dry goods, who invei
gled tho calico half to select finery to the
value of ten dollars, for which she guar
anteed her husband to pay. Meeting him
on the street, payment was demanded and
peremptorily refused. : Mr.- Pedler would
have his pay or bis goods. Famiryman
told him to gnaw a file and flee unto the
mountains of Ilepsidam. The "merchan
dise found its way again. to his pack.
The pot boiled, and stewed, and fumed,
and by the time the lord and master found
his way home there was the devil to pay
it not the pedler. The way the
brooms, , wooden bowls,' tin pans, and
dishes flew about his head, was startling
to timid nerves. She'd learn him not to
pay her bills, the miserable scoot ! That
was all she kept him for, and if he couldn't
do that be might git. As the crockery
was getting a little more numerous, he'
considered it advisable to git. He now
partakes of his hash at a hotel and anx
iously awaits the arrivalof a flag of truce,
with an announcement that terms of peace
will be considered. , All husbands can see
the warning. West Union (Iowa) Gazette.

Jeuklns Goes to u I'lc-.Mc.
Maria Ann recently determined to go to
a pic-nic.
Maria Ann is my wife unfortunately.
She bad plannnd it to go it alone, so far
as I was concerned, on that pic-nic ex
cursion ; but when I heard about it, I
determined to assist. She pretended she
was very glad, I don't believe she was.
'It will do you good to get away from
your work a day, poor fellow,' she said ;
'and we shall so much enjoy a cool morn
ing ride on the cars, and dinner in the
woods.'
Oh the morning of that day, Maria
Ann got up at 5 o'clock. About three
miuutes later she disturbed my slumber?,
and told me to come to breakfast I told
her I wasn't hungry, but it didn't make
a bit of difference, I had to get up. The
sun was up ; 1 had no idea that the sun
began business so early in the morning,
but there he was.
Now, said Maria Ann, 'we must fly
around, for the cars start at half past six.
Eat all the breakfast you can, for you
won't get anything more before noon.'
I could not eat anything at that time in
the morning, and it was well I could not,
for I had all I could do. There was ice
to be pounded to go around the pail of
ice-cream, and the sandwiches to be cat,
and I thought I should never get the legs
of the chicken fixed eo that I could get
the cover on the big basket. Maria Ann
flew around and piled by groceries for me
to pack, giving directions to the girl about
taking care of the house, and putting on
her dress all at once. There is a deal of
energy in that woman, perhaps a trifle too
much.
At twenty minutes past 6 I stood on
the front steps with a basket on one arm
and Maria Ann's waterproof on the other,
and a pail in each hand, and a bottle of
vinegar in my coat skirt pocket. There
was a camp chair hung on me somewhere,
too, but I forgot just where.
Now,' said Maria Ann, 'we must run
or we shall not catch the train.'
Maria Ann,' said I. 'that is a reason
able idea. Ilow.do you suppose I can
run with all this freight ?'
You must, you brute. . You always
try to tease me. If you do not want a
scene on the streets you will start, too.
So I ran.
I had one comfort, at least. Maria
Ann fell down and broke her parasol.
Sho called me a brute again because I
laughed. She drove me all the way to
the depot in a brisk trot, and we n;ot on
the cars ; but neither of us could get a
seat, and I could not find a place where I
could set the things down, so I stood there
and held them.
Maria," I said, in winning accents,
how is this for a cool morning ride V
Said she. You are a brute, Jenkins.
Said I, Mj love, you have made that
observation before.
I kept my courage up, yet I knew there
would be an hour of wrath when we cot
home. By getting out of the cars the bot
tle in my pocket got broke, and con6e-
quently I had one boot half full of vinegar
all day. That kept me pretty quiet, and
Maria Ann ran off with a big whiskered
music teacher, and lost her fan, and got
her feet wet, and tore her dress and en
joyed herself much after the fashion of
pic-nic goers. I thought it never would
come dinner time, and Maria called me a
pis because I wanted to open cur basket
before the rest of the baskets were opened.
At last dinner time came the 'nice
dinner in the woods,' you know. Over
three thousand little red ants had got into
our dinner, and they were worse to pick
out than fish bones. The ice-cream had
melted and there was no vinegar for the
cold meat except what was in my boot,
and of course lhat was of no immediate
use. The music teacher spilled a cup of
hot coffee on Maria's head, and pulled all
the frizzles out trying to wipe off the cof
fee with his haodkercbief. . Then I sat on
a piece of raspberry pie, and spoiled my
while pants, and concluded I didn't want
anything more. I bad to stand up against
a tree the rest of the afternoon. The day
afforded considerable variety, compared to
every day life, but there were so many
drawbacks that we did not enjoy, it so
much as I might hare done.

Jo9.li Hillings on Oats.
Oats are a singular grain, perhaps I
should say plural, bekause there iz moro
than one of them.
They gro on the top of a straw, about
two foot, 9 and one quarter inches hi, ai.d
the straw is holler.
This straw is interesting for its suck
shun. Short pieces of it, about 8 inches or so,
dipped into the luaum ov a 6herry Cob
bler,will suckshuu up the entiie cobbler in
4 minutes by the watch.
I never hav tried this, but I kno Iota
of yung and reliable men, who Stand
around ready to prove this, if sum body
will fetch cn the cobbler.
This sucksbun is sed to be a ded sure
thing.
Oals gro on the summit or sum Btraw,
and are sharp at both ends.
They resemble 6hu pegs in looks and
bnild, and it is sed, are' often mistaken
for tlum by near-sighted bosses and shu
makers. I don't intend this remark az any der
ogativeness to sbumakers in the lump, for
i have often sed in mi iuspired moments,
if i couKln't be a shuraaker, i would like
to lo a lawyer.
Oats are sold bi weit or mezzure, and
are seldom (or perhaps i may say in con
fidenco never) sold by count.
i-ggp BB(i money, are couutsd out, but
oats never.
It woul 1 be well for nu. beginners to
remember this, it would save them a good
deal of lime on every hundred bushels of
oats.
. Time iz said tew be the same as money,
it this is positively tru Mathuseler died
ritch.
Methuseler was exactly 909 years old
when he died, now snuhipli this bi 3Go,
which would only be allowing him a dol
lar a day for hiz lime, and you will find
just what he was worth.
Oats are worth from 40 to 15 cents a
bushel, ackording to their price, and ain't
good for much, only tew tickle a boss.
They will choak a goose to deth quick
er than a paper of pins, and enuyihing
that will chok e a goose to deth I mean
on the internal side of the throatj iz to
say the leest of i,, very skarse.
Speaking ov a gooBC, i have found out
at last what makes them so tuff, it is
staying out so much in the cold.
I found this out nil alone bi myself. .
Oats are a very easy crop to raize.
All you bav got tew do, to raize oats,
is to plough the ground deep, then ma
nure it well, then sprinkle the oats all over
the ground, one in a place, then worry
the gtound with a drag ail over, then set
up nights tew keep the chrckens, and
woodebucks. out ov them, then pray for
sum rain, then k rail 1 3 them down wilh a
kradle, then rake them together with a
rake, then bind them up wilh a band,
then stack them up with & stack, then
thrash them out with a fliil, then clean
fliem up with a mill, then sharpen both
ends of them with a knife, then stow
them away in the granery, then spend
wet days, and Sundays, trapping for rats
and mice.
It ain't nothing but phun to rai-e oats
try it.
FLOATISC ISLA.MIS.
Gippsland is a Province of Victoria.
It is bounded by the Australian Alps on
all sides except on the South, which the
sea washes far over one hundred miles.
It may be called the Piedmont of Austra
lia, rich fertile plains intersected bv rivers
flowing into a lake system extending all
along the coast, and separated from the
sea by a sandy narrow ridge, with one
navigable opening. A local paper, the
Gipjisland Times, gives the following de
scription of "floating islands" ou the lakes:
"As one of the Gippsland Steam Nav
igation Company's steamers was recsntly
crossing Lake Wellington, the man at tho
wheel suddenly observed land right in the
track of the steamer, and apparently only
a short distance from the straits separat
ing Lakes Wellington and Victoria. He
called the captain's attention to the strange
sight, and on coming up close, the land
was discovered to be a small island, about
thirty yards in length by twenty broad.
It was covered with a rich coating of
luxuriant grass; and small trees, tea tree,
and bush shrubs, appeared to be growing
in profusion. The only occupants of this
remarkable apparilionwere a few pig,
feeding away contentedly and apparently
enjoying their novel journey by water. A
second island of the same description, but
much smaller, was noticed a little farther
on, but this had evidently detatched itself
from' the larger piece of land, or most
probably had been separated by the root
ing depredations of tho porkers.
"From what portion of the main land
this floating island came, is of course mat
ter of conjecture, but it is known that a
portion of the soil at Marlcy Point, on the
southern shore of Lake Wellington, be
came detached recently, and floated miles
across the lako with some twenty or thirty
head of pigs aboard. As long a9 tho wind
drove it in that direction, the Hand drift
ed toward M'Lennan'a Snails, but a
change of wind brought it back again, af
ter a three days' trip, within a mile of the
spot from which it had broken nway. We
believe it is the opinion of the district sur
veyor, Mr. Dawson, that the urea of 1- Q
Hosencaih run, west of Lake Wclii'n n
has been increased some twenty or ll.iny
acres by ihe uddiuou of drift islands,
