Influence OI Flowers.


The true lover of flowers must neces-
sarily be affected by their influence.
The young lady who in her daily walks
culls the seasons brightest wayside
gems, small and retiring though they
may be, has her perceptions cultivated,
her gentle touch improved, and her
love of the beauty of form and color in
tensified aid increased. have some
times been amused to watch the gath
ering of a bouquet by two equally kind
sisters. One, who ''does not care much
for flowers" yet delights in giving
pleasure, takes her garden scissors,
cuts the brightest and perhaps the
largest flowers she sees, regardless that
they are fading even then. She looks
here, and takes a flower she thinks is
bright; there, and cuts off a handful;
and having, as she believes, gathered
q large and beautiful bouquet, she
hands it to the lady whom she has thus
stepped out Of her course to please.
The other sister, with more Judgment,
glides from plant to plant, cutting off
one blossom here, which will scarcely
be missed from its modest position;
another there, which will bloom in full
freshness III Ine NdSc-d DlC Vi SNccl-
scented beauty which by its removal
improves the garden, while it adds to
her treasures; and so from flower to
shrub, and from rose-tree to flower
again, she fits along-the selection
being intuitively made with such per
lection, that no blossom is misplaced,
or a single fading flower added to the
bouquet. This nicely of observation
and touch does not end in the service
of the garden. A mind that responds
to the beauty of the floral world will
never be satisfied with imperfect OF
coarsely finished work of any kind.
The handling of flowers so constantly
sets before the eye their perfection
that by and by the aim at perfection il
all hat is done becomes, as IL were
second nature.

Unsystematlc.

People who have no system of living
are a great nuisance to others-they
place no value upon time; they seldom
keep an appointment. If you ask them
to be your guests, they rarely appear
at the time designated, and are quite
sure not to go when the day of their
departure arrives; they are down late
in the morning, and sit up very late at
night; are uncertain about their meals,
intrude upon your privacy at unseason-
able hours, and are sublimely indiffer-
ent to the fact that they are a plague
and a nuisance to the whole household.
These haphazard people are also care
less'and inconsiderate in other matters;
keeping everything in confusion, mis-
laying books and papers, putting things
away in odd places, where they cannot
he found when most needed; making u
chaos of the room which they occupy;
cracking the furniture, smashing bowls,
Cheyenne transporter. [volume] (Darlington, Indian Terr.) 1879-1886, 1882-10-13

soiling the curtains and carpets, and
making all sorts of extra work. And
30 far from feeling it necessary to
apologize, these free and easy visitors
rather pride themselves upon their in
difference to %trifles, and profess to de-
spise ''picayunish' folk. But, strange
to say, their carelessness never re-
bounds upon themselves; and while
being very free and generous with the
possessions of others, they are careful
even to of their own.

willing to Work.

Ii girls marry the men they love
even though they are poor, they must
be willing to work for them, and thus
do their share in sustaining the pros.
perity of the firm. They should GER
tainly know how to cook-and they
ought to be ashamed to marry any such
man until they have learned the art of
cooking. For such a girl to marry
such a man would be neither more nor
less than a social fraud, unless she
shall before engagement inform him
fully of her ignorance on this subject.
1t is well, then, to have these schools
of cookery to which girls, whose moth
ers have not taught them the art, "a
90 and learn-and we hope the day is
near at hand when girls that are can
didates for matrimony will pride them
selves more on their ability to cook u
good dinner than on their ability to
dance, sing, play, or waste time in any
agreeable way. The ideal girl, the con
sumptive, tig%ht-laced, party-going,
piano-playing, French-talking, fashion
able girl, a be no proper wife for a
poor man. This language the girls
may think uukind, but it is not. 1t is
better for girls that are not fitted to be
a poor mans wife TO remain with their
parents than to become such. 1t will
be better for their lovers, too, and bet
ter for society.

Names OF the states.

Names OF the states.
AT a recent meeting of the American
Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Hon.
Hamilton b. Staples read an interest
ing paper, discussing at length the
origin of the names of several of the
states. The following is an abstract of
some of his conclusions:
New Hampshire gets its name from
Hampshire, England. Massachusetts
is derived from an Indian name, first
given to the bay, signifying "near the
great hills" Rhode Island has an OBJ
scure origin, the ''Island of the Roads,
and n Dutch origin "Red Island were
mentioned, the first seeming to have
the best historical support. Connect
cut is an Indian name, %signifying,
Gland on Il long tidal river New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Del
aware and Maryland were passed over.
Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia
have a royal origin. Maine was named
from the fact that it was supposed to
contain the ''mayne portion" of New
England. Vermont has no especial
question, except that it is claimed to
have first been an alias-New Connec-
ticut, alias Vermont. Kentucky pop
ularly signifies either a dark and
bloody ground" or a "bloody river
or the ''long river" Tennessee comes
from its river, the name being derived
from the name of an Indian village on
the river-''Tanasee." Ohio is named
after an Indian name, si~gnifying
something great with an accent of
admiration. Indiana comes from the
name of an early land company H.
inois comes from the lndian-the name
of q tribe. Michigan is claimed to
mean ''lake country" it probably came
from the name of the lake, Great
Lake." which bore thisname before the
land adjacent was named. Louisiana
is from the French. Arkansas and
Missouri is Indian, the former being
doubtful; the latter is being claimed &c
mean in its original ''muddy water,
Indian, with doubtful meaning. Texas
is popularity supposed to be Indian, bu'
may be Spanish. Florida is Spanish
q 'tlowery land" Oregon has a con
jectural origin, 1t is probably Indian
but a Spanish origin is claimed. Cali
fornia nm from a Spanish romanc,
of 1910. Nevada takes its name from
the mountains, who get theirs from
resemblance to the Nevadas of Soutl
America. Minnesota is Indian, 'sky
tinted-water," Nebraska is variousl,
rendered shallow water and Ella
country" Kansas is from an Indian
root, Kaw, corrupted by the French
Mississippi is great water" or ''whol
river" Alabama is Indian, the nam
of a fortress and tribe, signlfying, q
is claimed, ''here we rest"
