there were more complications than
even Madeline was aware of.

He is a Gen. Armstrong. But

sne added hastily, although father
says he was once friend of our fam
ily-a friend Of mother's-an that I
was called after nim.''
"Oh, l see," said Lance to himself.
"The scoundrel meant to trade on the
old acquaintance of his wife with this
Gen. Armstrong; was rather
an acute inference for a boy of his
age to draw. Its an abominable
shame
He felt that he did not quite know
what to do next. He resolved that he
would consult his father, and in the
meantime take the chiId's address
Perhaps he could not have thought OF
a wiser plan.

FATE DISPOSED"
The Miracle of the Mustardseed Riv-
aled by a German Birch.

There is in an old churchyard on one
of the principal avenues of Hanover,
Germany, an ancient grave which has
met with a somewhat peculiar fate.
One hundred and thirteen years ago it
was dug to hold all that remained
mortal of Herriette Julianne Caroline
Won Ruling. The tradition of Hanover
is that Frau Won Ruling was beauti-
full woman in her day, and that, fear
ing by some chance her grave might
be opened and her moldering corpse
displayed to view, she took precautions
to keep the seal of her tomb unbroken.
At the back of the massive monu-
ment, cut deep into the base of the
pedestal, are these words: "This
grave, purchased in perpetu1ty, shall
to the end of time never be opened"
By a strange fate, into the earth that
was shoveled over the coffin, fell a
birch seed. AS time passed on a shoot
pushed itself out between the stones
of the massive monument, and then
came a struggle between the growing
wood and the ponderous slabs. A cen
fury passed and the tree won. Bit by
bit it split and burst open the great
monument and upheaved the heavy
base stones, exposing to view the grave
that was always to be concealed and
kept tightly closed.

GOOD TEMPER.

There's rot cheaper thing on earth,
Nor yet one half so dear:
'Tis worth more than distinguished
birth
Or thousands gained year;
1t lends a day new delight;
'Tis virtues firmest shield;
And adds more beauty to the night
Than all the stars may yield.
1t maketh poverty content,
To sorrow whispers peace,
1t is gift from heaven sent,
For mortals to increase;
1t meets you with a smile at morn,
1t lulls you to repose;
A flower for peer and peasant born,
An everlasting rose.
A charm to Danish grief away,
To snatch the frown from care;
To make Of life one happy day,
Spread gladness everywhere;
And yet It's cheap as summer dew,
That gems the lily's breast;
A talisman for love, as true
AS ever man possessed.
AS smiles the rainbow through the
cloud
When threatening storm begins
AS music mid the tempest loud,
That still its sweet way wins
AS springs an arch across the tide,
Where waves conflicting foam,
So comes this seraph to our side,
This angel to our home
What may this wondrous spirit be,
With power unheard before
This charm, this bright divinity!
Good temper-nothing more!
Good temper!-'tis the choicest gift
That woman homeward brings,
And can the poorest peasant lift
To bliss unknown to kings.
Charles Swain.

ORIGIN OF NAMES.
Significance of Christian Names That
Are Now Popular.

Some significance should be attached
to ones name, and badly named
child is very apt to be Influenced as
much by it's Specification as by the
stars under which it is born, says the
seer. And so here are few of our
favorite names and their origin and
meaning: Anna, from the Hebrew,
meaning a prophecies; Annette, from
the French, sweet, but sorrowful; Car
oline, Latin, noble-spirited; Dorothy
Celtic, fruitful; Edith and Edna
Saxon, happiness: Frances, German
free; Grace, Latin, favor; Helen, Greek,
a very beautiful woman; Ida, Greek, a
lofty mountain; Josephine, French, a
saver of life; Lucy, Latin, shining
Louisa, French, defender of her peo-
pie; Leonora, Polish, victorious.
