The Baby's Long Name.

The time is past for the old Puri-
tan style OF Christian amt like
"Zealof the Lord Jones" but it seems
that an Irishman will not object TO
the cumbersome fashion, if he has
an object in view other than a re-
hgious one. ,
In the city of Portland, Me-, one
of the leading auction and commits
sion houses employed a porter who
reloices In the name of Tim. Tim
had been noticed for some time to
be rather Indifferent to his duties,
and on being questioned as to the
occasion of his negligence, replied:
ITO tell the truth, sir, Eve had a
little boy born till me, and ] want
to name him after both o. yees, bul
Ii don't intirely get the sinse Of
the names"
The dilemma in which the porter
was placed was apparent, and the
members of the firm endeavored to
devise a suitable cognomen for the
kidding. Tim continued dissatisfied
however, Notwithstanding the most
ingenious splieings of titles. A,
length, one morning, he vas ebser-
we'd to be unusual active, in explana.
ton of which phenomenon he told
his employers
Me boy was cbristened last night,
sir"
But" said the senior, you mus,
have had a name for him.
II did. sir"
"How did you get owe that diff.
Guilty you had about it; what did you
call your boy?"
With perfect, radiant confidence
Tim answered, Edward NJ. Patten
d Co. Ryan sir"
1t is needless to add that the firm
came down" in behalf of their little
namesake.-BaQetin.

Pure honey should be used un.

The GOOD Old Times.

Dearly beloved, SC there are men
in Burlington this very Sabbath
morning, who sigh for the good old
time" when our times surpass those
of Solomon more than bis DAYS sur.
passed the years of Egyptian bond
age. You can buy a box of matches
to-day for five cents, while Solomon's
throne of ivory and gold couldn'i
have bought one match. The Queen
of Shebs thought Solomon's wisdom
and greatness were beyond compre
hension; what would she say could
she only have beheld a ward engin,
of the Burlington d Northwestern
narrow gusge? The weight of golo
that came to Solomon In one veal
was six hupdred three score and 81,
talents, but with I'll of it he couldn't
buy a common. hard coal base burn
er. He had fourteen chariots anC
twelve thousand horsemen, but b,
couldn't telegraph TO Hiram tbs. b.
wanted a cedar raft as soon as i
could be shipped. he couldn'
ever give his messengers good hors'
that could trot in 2:30. There wa.
not a newspaper nor a printing pres
in biz kingdom, SO be didn't know
what it vast TO write "Times" and Sc,
it printed dinners" There are coz
veniences to day in thecounty aims
house that Solomon had to go with
out We can buy Q watch for TWEEN
ty-6ve dollars; yes, for five dollars
that he couldn't have bought witt
his kingdom. We haven't so man,
wives as he had, but We have bette
children; much better, indeed, fo'
while Solomon had the theory o
training children all right, he neve
put 1t into practice in his own fam
ily.
There are no times like these VI,
live 10. There never will be any Z,
equal them, until we are dead, an(
then times will be better and grand
er than they are now. Enjoy youI
own day then. Remember that th,
world is better TO day, dearly below
ed, than it was when you came int
il; and that it is goirg 10 be a greaI
deal better still when you get out O

sire to that effect, because II was made
