This is the title of an interesting essay
in the Atlantic Monthly from which we
borrow few picturesque genealogical
fragments. The writer tells us that
"main" is from the Saxon n,acgen, de-
noting strength or the strong one !;
used literally in "might and MAN,"
fignratively as regards tho sea. The
"Levant" is where the sun is levant-
raising himself up. "Hyperborean"
beyond Boreos-the ancients believing
that beyond the home of the north
wind dwelt a happy and exemplary
people. The daisy is from the Saxon,
and is almost Utterly the dogs eyes !;
while cobalt is still more POLITICALLY
named from koLold or goblin OF the en-
emies because cobalt was troublesome
TO miners and was formerly supposed
to be useless.
Most of us are familiar with the
meaning Of "adieu'-"I commend you
70 God and are aware that good buy"
is contraction OF "God be with YOU"
But few. perhaps are aware that "thank
you" is an abridgement of"I will think
Of you''-implying grateful remember.
