THE SUN MYTHS.

1t was inBayard Taylor's day that the
sun myth had its vogue. One night
at party Taylor was greatly bored
by the persistent efforts of guest to
discuss sun myths. No matter what
direction the conversation might take
this person would ruthlessly drag it
back again to his favorite topic.
At last the distressed poet raised
very interesting question in regard to
the threadbare subject. did you
ever think" he asked, that the
name Smith so common all over the
world is derived from sun myth?' No
one had ever dreamed of such thing.
Max Muller had overlooked the point
completely.
"Quite possible, certainly most
plausible said Taylor, Sun myth,
Sumyth, Smyth, Smith, and some
still spell the name with a ~" The
discussion was ended.

FAMILY DISCORD.

Awriter tells us that Scottish moth
ers used, when their children disagreed
and were unhappy, to say to them
yell a agree better when we ha' to
gang in at different kirkdoors;n that
is, when this hearthstone is cold, and
the lamp of mothers love is quench-
ed, when YOU are scattered far and
wide, you'll forget little differences,
and look back lovingly to those days
when you might have been so happy
and wish them back again. No love
then will be like the love of brothers
and sisters, which you now esteem so
lightly. Let those of us who are
sheltered in happy homes cherish our
blessings: for the days must come
when we shall be scattered, and ''go
in at different kirkdoors," never
again to be a united band.

4 PEACEABLE RACE.

The Javanese manner of settling
quarrels is original When one man
has offended another, the injured part
ly gives notice that he is angry by
drawing in the sand before the door
of the offender a circle with straight
line across it, indicating that his af-
fection, which would have been eter-
nal, has been cut in two. Friends of
both parties then shut them up. They
parley awhile, then pretend to be born
again, prattle as little children, and
finally as men become reconciled and
embrace. Should one be refractory
and refuse to be conciliated, he is
ostracized by the community SO eff
fectually that he is soon brought to
terms. 1t is just possible that our
enlightened citizens might consider
this method better than knock-dow
arguments, and certainly much cheap
er than going to law.

WILL A TREE LIVE FOREVER.

From the st. Louis Republic.
What do you think of the idea ad-
vanced by some prominent botanist
that a tree, providing that it meets
with no accident, will live forever :?
De Candolie, an eminent French
authority says: "Trees are not sub
ject to death, and barring accidents
and ravages of insects, will continue
to live OH indefinitely" Gray, the
noted botanist, also indorses the
theory that inasmuch as trees annu-
ally renew their youth, they are vir-
tually immortal. His exact language
is as follows: THE old central part
of the trunk may decay, but this is of
little moment as long as new layers
are regularly formed at the circumfer
ence The tree survives, AMI it would
be difficult for science to show that it
is liable to death from old age in any
proper sense of that term"

THE MOTHER GROWN OLD.

pei
Grown old, the mother is sometimes
sorrowfully clearsightei and freed
from the blessed illusions of youth
When her children were little things
PLAYING about the door, and tucked
into bed at night, all safe and
sweet and rosy, she had her dreams
of their future. There was nothing
too bright, too brave, too beautiful,
for her Imagination and her hope as
she looked at her darlings, sleeping
or waking AS they grew older, went
to school and to college, or into shop
and the countingroom, the mother
still dreamed and planned, still wove
her enchanted stories, in the centre
which she saw her children, of
heroes, professors, scholars, bene-
factors, champions of the weak,
defenders of the helpless, ornaments
of the age, and renowned be-
Her Frank, her Charles, her Sydney,
whatever others might do, they were
bound to excel, to stand in the van,
to reap the rewards, to scale the
heights, to discover the long-hidden
secrets.
But there dawns a day upon the
mother when, grown old, as wrinkles
and gray hairs testify, she renews the
wonderful keenness and acuteness OF
childhood; she sees the dropping of
many masks; she comprehends things
as they are Past the hour of dream
ing and castle building, past the clouds
and the mirage, her vision is like that
of one of Gods angels.

VARIETIES.

We suggested to all the good
brethren who are spending so much
time in meeting dangerous social
crises" and solving great moral prob
lems," that they pause occasionally
in the midst of their gigantic occupa-
tions and snatch an opportunity to
say their prayers. For it must not
be forgotten that it is possible for a
man to become SO busy in setting the
universe right as to forget his own
spiritual needs and grow oblivious to
his own faults.

Britain that Scotch divine, some

SNITFFED HIMSELF OUT.

In one of the European parliaments
when the president finds it necessary
to end an argument, he gravely puts
on his cylinder hat. Though it hap
pened nearly thirty years ago, peo-
pie still laugh at the recollection OF a
certain president who, to close cele-
brated debate, took up his neighbor's
hat by mistake: is was far too big for
him, and falling down about his ears
snuffed him out completely from the
gaze of the crowded heuse.

SHE ALWAYS MADE HOME HAPPY

In an old churchyard stood stone,
Weather-marked and stained;
The band of time had crumbled
So only part remained.
Upon one side could just trace,
"In memory of our mother"
"She always made home happy
This was chiseled on the,Other.
/ gaZed on monuments of fame,
High tow'ring to the skies;
l saw the sculptured marble stone
Where great hero lies;
But by this epitaph | paused
And read it DER and DER,
For had never seen inscribed
Such words as these before.
"she always made home happy"
What Il noble record left.
A legacy of memories sweet
To those whom death bereft,
What testimony to her worth
BY those who knew her best,
Engraven on this crumbling stone
That mark their mothers rest.
1t was a narrow resting place
Among the humble poor,
But they had seen their mother toll,
And patiently endure,
They marked her willing sacrifice
As, one by one, she bore
Her croSs-like burden up the hill,
Till all her toll was DER.
So when God stilled her weary heart,
Folded her hands so white,
And she was carried from the home
She always made so bright,
Her children reared n monument
That riches could not buy,
The witness of II noble life,
Whose record is on high.
A noble life, but written not
In any book of fame;
Among the list of noted ones
None ever saw her name;
For only her own household knew
The vic'tries she had won;
And none but they could testify
How well her work was done.

WITTY REMARKS OF An ARTIST.

Kenny Meadows was an artist who
was always welcome at any social
gathering, for he had an infinite fund
of quotation and mother wit. A GER
tain well known studio pun was his.
There had been one day a long talk
about fire, co and the palette necessary
for it, and the repeated remark that
it needed palette of earths quite tir-

ing the best of things -
No" said he, iii divide that with
you. You may take the mean, and

According to his own telling, his
standard of praise was financial one:
Now dare say you think yourself
very clever fellow to paint so good a
picture" he said to his friend, Will
liam Bell Scott, who had just COM
pleted his "Old English Ballad Sin

picture compared with what it is to

REMARK4BLE COINCIDENCE.

face which shaded off to something
like philanthropy about the edges, was
gazing abstractedly down the street.
Suddenly he stepped up to gentle
man who was awaiting Il car, and,
touching him lightly on the shoulder,
said; Excuse me, but did you just
drop a $50 note - at the same time
holding out his eager hand the sum
mentioned.
The gentleman questioned gazed a
moment ut the note, assumed u look
of excitement, made IL hasty search of
his pockets, and said: why, so did;
and | hadn't missed it," holding out
his eager hand.
The old man slowly drew forth a
note book, and said: Il thought so,
He then took the name and address OF
the loser, and putting the note in his
pocket, turned away.
