THE LILAC.

feel too tired and too old
Long rambles in the woods to take,
To seek the cowslip's early gold,
. And search for violets In the brake;
Nor can i, as used TO, bend
My little bed OF flowers to tend;
Where grew my scented pinks, to-day
The creeping witch-grass has It's way.
But when my door open wide
To breathe the warm, sweet air or spring
The fragrance comes in like a tide,
Great purple plumes before me swing;
For looking in, close by the door.
The lilac blossoms as of yore:
The earliest flo wer my childhood knew
Is to the gray, worn woman true.
Dear comm on tree that needs no care,
Whose rootin any soil will live,
How many a dreary spot grows fair
With thy spring charm thy clusters give!
The narrow courtyard In the town
Knows thy sweet fragrance, and the brow I
Low, hillside farm house hides Its caves
Beneath the gray-green OF thy leaves.
Loosed by the south winds gentle touch,
In perfumed showers thy blossoms fall;
Thou asketh little, givest much;
Thy lavish bloom Is free to all;
And even shut In, shut out,
From all the sunny world about,
Find the first flower my childhood knew,
Is to the gray, worn woman true.

The Naming of Nantucket.

Names are important things in this
earthly career of ours, and one humor-
GUS correspondent accounts for tin
name of Nantucket as follows: The
oldest inhabitant, who owned the group
of islands of which this is one. gave
them to his daughters ere he died
RhOda took Rhode Island, Elizabeth
took the island since named for her,
Martha took and named Martha's Vine
yard, and as for the remaining island,
Nan-tOOk-it. This interesting legend
has not the merit of antiquity, as it can
be traced back no further than 1870.
There is another and more beautiful
legend, The Indian tradition is that
the Great Spirit was once smoking
when He partly filled His pipe with
sand. When the mixed remains were
emptied from the pipe into the sea they
formed the island of Nantucket. The
name is said to be an Indian modifica-
ton of Nautikon, name left by the
N0rsemen who visited it in the eleventh
century. The best authority pronoun-
ces 1t a corruption of an Indian word
meaning "far away. 1t is called Ma
toxic on the map of 1880.

THE LAND

Texas, with It's $4,000, 900 acres oi
territory, II would naturally be inferred,
would be about the last State to have an
az sltion abou. the land question, yet
the journals Of that State give evidence
tina, the subject Of land tenure is being
seriously considered by the people. The
trouble is chiefly in the coast counties
and in Western Texas, where vast tracts
are held by cattle and sheep spectators
and nonresident purchasers. Thousands
and tens Of thousands Of acres are in
single holdings. The owHers do nothing
to build up and improve the country,
and they prevent the growth Of settle
msuts by refusing to subdivide their
lands. 4 writer in the Galveston News
compares the situation there to that in
ireland, and demands legislative checks
70 the growing evil, but suggests no
practical remedy.
