HOW NOAH 60'1' HIS -NAME.
Alter the ark had been out about two' weeks,.
the wile of the_captain began 'to get tired and
restless, and anxious to be once 'more on dry
land. Ilencephe tell into the 'habit of every
now and then calling out to her hisband, and
it:igniting if there, was any signs of 'Clearing
up, etc., and as he always answered "No," she
would in despair add "Al I" and 'BO it went
from hour to hour and day to day.
One night the wind came out from the north
es4 an made things very lively onboard. The
fib cletvilines were all parted ; the topsail bin
nacle was carried away and them* *sheet
blewn into piecs no larger pan gVe-ce4t hand
kachiefs..., Of course the "old man" was kept,
busy and was not in the best ot humor. lie
bad just bailed the lookout and asked if he
bad seen anything of "Ay rat," and received,
for an answer "Nay rat, sir l"—had just order-,
ed Shem, who was steering, to "keep her off
two points," Wnen Ham came on' board and.
reported that the largest elephant . .had broken
loose, and insisted on taking his trunk into the
camel's department, who in turn. had got their
backs up about the inter View. Die • various:_
beasts' had taken sidesin.the quarrel, and there
was a grand row generally. Just as the ele
phant had been persuaded to go back 'to his own
room, and had, checked his trunk b. order to
pacify him, there came a voice, "Any signs of
clearing up,dear ?" It was raining then ,literally
in sheets. To the inquiry was given the usual
reply, and to the reply was added the usual
"Ab," only in a sadder tone than usual.
It was a little 'More than the old man could
stand, and he yelled out, "No," "Ah," •"No,"
!" it is nothing but, "No," Ali 1" all day'
long. "You had better call me '.Noah,' and be
done with it 1" and he went below to splice the
main brace, which had , parted. And so it was
that the Captain of the ; first .greilt ship came
to be called "Noah."
' The study of the origin of, names is one ot
great interest, and it is rather remarkable.that
so little .attentention has been paid to it. Ll-
mitsC any name can be traced to its probable
origin. Thus "Smashpiper," the smasher of
piper, or "Tugmutton," he who was celebrated
as a tugger of mutton. Why not appoint a
committee to ascertain the origin of all names?
It would be as useful as many other researches.

A SPIRITED . ADVENTURE.
"Who's there 9 " :7
•
There was no a4siver, and the queer noise
stopped. ,
"Anybody there ?"
No answer. t
"It must have been a spirit," he said to him-
self. "It must be emedium. I will try."
(Aloud.)
"If there Is a spirit 'hi the room, it `will signi
fy the same by saying aye--no, that's not what
I mean. If there as a spirit in the room, it will
please rap three times.". 4
Three very distinct raps were given - in .the
direction of the bureau. •
"Is it th 6 spirit of my Sister ?" " •
No answer.
"Is it the spirit of my mother ?" -
Three raps.
"Are You happy
Nine raps.
"Do you want anything r
A succ,ession of very loud raps.
"Will you give me any communication if I.
get up ?"
No answer.
"Shall I hear from you to morrow ?"
Very loud raps in the direction of the door.
"Shall I ever see you ?"
Then rays came from outside the door. He
waited long for an answer to his last question,
none came. The spirit had gone ; 811 d after
thinking about the extraordinary visit,. he turn
.ed over and fell asleep. On getting up in the
morning he found that the spirit of his mother
bad carried off his watch and purse, his trows
ers, and his great coat down stairs in the halL
A LITTLE LOGIC.
"Father, do you remember that mother ask
ed you tortwo dollars this:morning ?"
"Yes, my child, what of it ?"
"And you ieinember i that mother didn't get
the two dollars ?" .
"Yes. And I remewber what. little girls
don't think about."
"What is that, father ?"
"I remember that we are not rich. But you .
are in a brown study. What is my darling
thinking about ?" - 1
".1 Was thhling how much a cigar Costa" -
"Why It costs ten cents—not two dollars, by
a long shot ?" 1
"But ten cents thee thief a 'day is th irty
cents." •
"That's as true as the multiplication table."
"And there are seven days in the week' s '
"That's so by myAbnanac." • •
"And seven times thirty cents are' two hun
dred and ten "•
cents."
"Hold no ; I'll surrender. Here take the
two dollars to your mother, and • tell her I'll
do without cigars , for a week."
"Thank you, lather ; but if you would only
say a year, it would save snore than a hundred
dollars. We would have . shoes and drases,and
mother a nice bonnet, and lots of things." -
"Well, to naake my little girl happy, I will
say a year." ' .
"Oh, that will be so nice. But wouldn't it
be about as easy to say - always ? Then we
would have the money every year, and your
lips would be much sweeter When you kin me."

'MY MOTTO IS, READY-PAY
In looking the matter over I see that the
credit system still continues to increase its vic
tims of buyers and sellers, while the ready-pay
system is growing in favor. VrThere is no
other, way for a merchant to sell goods for a
small profit thamto demand pay :when delivered.
If there had been no credit system there would
be no hard times to complain o£ Try it for ~a
year and you will 'never go baCkward, but be
convinced of its benefit. . ;
