7 Story Of an Historic Name.

A valentine seen bya Ledger report
er, which was sent to girl in Easton
bv youth in Washington, brings to
mind the story Of d name, and Of !.
name OF note in American history
The name of the sender of the missiye
is Return J. Meigs, and the same
christian name has been in the Meigs
family for several generations. Many
years ago, in ante-revolutionary days,
Jonathan Meigs courted young lady
who rejected his addresses. Meigs
continued to love the girl, and though
too proud and sensitive to try second
time to win her, he determined never
to marry any one else and to live and
die bachelor unless she, of her own
volition, relented. After a few years
the lady did relent, or perhaps got to
know her own heart better, and sent
letter to her former suitor. Meigs
got the letter and found in it only the
two words, "Return, Jonathan" 1t
was enough. Jonathan did return
and made her his wife. Their first
child was baptized "Return Jonathan"
to commemorate the brief letter that
saved the Meigs family from extinc-
ton, and from that day to this there
has been Return J. Meigs in every
generation. The sender Of the yalen-
tine referred to is the grandson Of
General NJ. G. Meigs, late Quartermas-
ter-General, now retired.-Easton (Md.)
LedQer.
