ward 1t was very stupid and stilted
speech, but there are times when young
men can't be sensible.
Pop knows I'm perfectly able to take
care OF myself, said the girl, with an
arch smile which robbed Jack at once Of
his senses. though it made him respect
the speaker all the more. Still, he ven
tured to say:
If you're not, you're welcome to call
upon me any time. now or forever"
The girls eyes opened wide, though
without bit of fear. Jack went on:
came up to ask you as a special
favor to let me become well acquainted
with you. don't amount to much, but
such as there is of me is genuine, and
I'd be very glad if you could learn to
like me.
Il like you now," said the girl, as
honestly as if she was talking of some
matter-of-fact affair.
But I want you to like me more,
the young man persisted. "I don't un-
derstand much but honey and human
nature, but I do profess to know all
that's worth knowing about both OF
them. I'm filling my boat with the best
honey that ever was taken North. but it
would be a great deal sweeter, and SO
would my life be forever, if I could take
you. too"
Are you joking?" asked the girl, with
very serious face.
II never was more in earnest in my
life. said Jack, lifting his hat and bow
ing his head.
@I'd follow you all over the world,
murmured the girl. Jack looked VI
quickly, and saw face 80 TRANSPORTED
that he took it to his heart to make
sure that it was real. He found that il
was; so he kept it there for some mo-
ments, releasing it only for a second o.
two at time for purposes which neeC
not be explained to any one who has
! been in love.
Jack never could explain to his family
and friends; all he could say was tina
there was something peculiar and de

A REFORM of young ladies' hand
writing is proposed by "matron, 4"
who is indignant at the want Of
grace which is shown in the calig-
raphy Of the rising generation. She
calls it bold, coarse, and vulgar, 4"
and compares the writing with the
pretty italian style that was the
fashion few years ago. The young
ladies have themselves altered, per-
haps, as handwriting, according to
the modern notion, is a sure test Of
character.

Buttereups.

Most people fancy that this bright
little flower takes it's name from but
ter itself. This history of it's name
reveals a different origin, however.
In old English this flower was known
as the "buttOn-cop," which means
simply "button-head, in allusion to
the round button-shaped flowers. The
word cop meant head in old English,
but it has now been superseded by
cup, and the old meaning has been
wholly lost. Button gradually de-
generated into butter, until every
one now says "butter-cup." This is
a peculiar instance in which the
common name of plant suggests it's
own origin, but suggests it falsely.
The buttercup was once known as
"gold-cop," or "gold-head," and "king-
cop," names which are still preserved
in England in "gold-cup" and "king-
cup" The buttercup is native of
Europe, where for centuries it has
been held in much esteem. 1t was
once worn by lovers at their betroth-
ais, and in more classical history its
golden color was dedicated to Hymen.
The buttercup was introduced into
America many years ago, anu has now
become a weed. The double garden
variety has long been cultivated.
When eaten, it leaves a harsh, bitter,
and acrid sensation, often so intense
as to produce serious poisoning. In
fact, it is a common notion in many
countries that the pretty buttercup
is poisonous to cattle. Certain it is
that cattle seldom eat it unless it is
dried in bay, when its poisonous
properties are lost.

In Japan a play called the "Ex-
termination of Christianity" is on the
boards. In the slaughter Of make

plauded. However displeasing this
circumstance may be, it is less to be
deplored than the more practical
method of China, in which real mis-
sionaries are used.

CHAPTER I.-Continued.

When the old man went away Jack
retired to his little cabin and pretended
to go to sleep, but he spent a most IN
comfortable night. Why, even his boat
cabin, not ten feet square, was a palace
compared with the house at which he
had taken supper. The idea of a man
and woman bringing up such a daughter
in such a place What could they be
thinking Of, or, could it be they did not
think at all? He thought his own quar-
tiers cramped and his river life almost as
quiet as hermit s, yet if that girl lived
on a bee-boat she would see a great
deal more of the world and its inhabit-
ants than she ever could while she in
habited that bare cabin. But why
should he think of her being on a bee
boat at all? There was no way for her
to reach such luck unless she were some
day to marry man in the honey bust
ness; instead of that she would be sure
to throw herself away on that stupid,
unmannerly, Longing, hulking fellow
with a gun. He wished his mother and
sisters could have the making of that
girl, and then send her back to her own
country to teach her old acquaintance
what was what. Wouldn't she make
stir if she could be put in that quiet old
New Hampshire village-even If she
made her first appearance in that very
faded calico dress? AS he imagined her
walking into the village church, the
white walls of that barn-like edifice
suddenly grew rosy, to his closed eyes,
and the scent of orange flowers Danish
ed the well-remembered and perVasive
odor Of caraway seed.
Nothing of that sort could hap
Gen, though, if she already was
! gone on that Internal fellow with a
| gun, as, of course, she was; if not. why
did she rush out so wildly to stop him
as he went along and bring him into
the house? Beauty did not imply
brains-he had learned this long ago in
his home studies of heredity; neither
did it save its possessOr from rude
tastes. Well, Jack was sure the whole
affair was none Of his business, and, if
he could not get it out of his head.
where it seemed determined TO stay, he
would have himself towed up the river
ahead of time, and get away from such
nightmare of stupidity. If he could
afford to rush the season a little he
guessed the bees could stand it, too.

The action OF the house in deciding to
place limit on the use of the congress
sionsl record is 10 be commended. 1t
Is too often the case that this publication
is loaded down with matter intended to
benefit the political parties and the per-
sonal ambitions of members rather th an
to enlighten the country as to the pro-
ceedings of the body of which it was
originally intended TO be faithful rec
ord. The reproduction of newspaper
articles, pamphlets, and portions of
books 10 the record is not q new idea. but
its fsgrsnt misuse in this respect during
the past month has had q wholesome ef-
feet, and the leaders Of both parties were
quite willing to enter into the conpro.
mise which resulted in the adoption Of
the resolution reported by the con mittee
on rules. There is still another evil in
connection with the publication of the
congressional record, suggests the Free
port Bulletin, and that is the practice of
the members making radical corrections
in th?ir speeches after they have been
delivered on the floor. By the changing
of q sentence here and there it is posi-
bic to distort the official reports of the
debates, and this distortion is an imposi-
ton upon the public.
