the days of Queen Anne the once uni
versal mode Of saluting lady was no
longer fashionable in town and was
nearing its end in the country.
The excessively familiar salntation
was succeeded by bows and courtesies
of great dignity and alarming pro-
fundity; and these again became less
and less ceremonious until the whirli-
gig of time has brought back the reign
of familiarity in another way, in the
somewhat casual and offhand "How do
you do?" which, nine times out of ten,
implies no interest whatever in the
person addressed, but is simply a mean
ingless formula of greeting. The still
more meaningless "Good morning" is
of later date than "How do you do?"
The earlier forms, which long preceded
the latter phrase, were "Good morn"
and "Good morrow which both date
from the fourteenth century. The
latter is no longer in use in actual con-
versation, though poets have weak
ness for it.
The speckled thrush
Good-morrow gave from brake and brush,
says Scott in the LADY of the Lake. y
and Longfellow, in "Evangeline," de-
scribing the gathering of the villagers
of Arcadian Grandpre, says:
"Many good-morrow and jocund laugh
from the young folk
Made the air lighter"

A twig or even a little tree may
seem very insign fcant thing, but
small things often exert powerful
influence for good or bad. Have you
ever thought of the beautiful example
a little tree sets us? If nothing him
ders it's progress, how straight and up
right it grows toward the sky and to-
wards God, how it seems to point the
way to Heaven! What emblems Of
ambition as they tower upwards!
Monuments of grandeur and stateli-
ness, as striking as the characters Of
the great men of our country, are
many of these majestic trees. Some
of them have stood for years as monu-
ments to the memory of the great men
who planted them, or who obtained
shelter beneath their branches, or who.
perhaps, like Capt. James Wadsworth,
used the hollow trunk as hiding
place Tor some precious treasure.
The tree here mentioned is one of
the most prominent that has been con-
secrated by conspicuous event in the
history of our country. Until 1856,
when it was blown down, it stood in
Hartford, Conn.,, and bore the name Of
the "Chart.r Oak" At meeting of
the Connecticut Assembly, Andres,
the governor, demanded the colony's
charter 1t was brought forth and
laid upon the table; but Immediately
all the lights were extinguished and
Wadsworth, taking advantage of the
darkness, picked up the document
and, slipping out into the night, con-
cealed it in the hollow of the tree,
where it remained hid Tor long time.
The Vice Presidents chair at Wash
ington is made from the wood of this
famous tree.
Another oak Of historical notoriety
stands directly at the top of
low river hank at FishkilI, n Y.
During the Revolutionary War, when
Washinston's army was on the west
bank of the Hudson, lie often crossed
that river to visit the troops on the
other side. The landing place on the
east bank was near two oaks and here
Washington always incurred and dis
mounted in going to the camp and re-
turning from it. Only one of the trees
is standing now and although it girths
over twenty y-two feet and is about eight
or ten centuries old, it is still healthy
and vigorous.
In Long Island, George Fox, a
Quaker preacher and the founder of
the sect, made the fame of an oak i'm
mortal hy preaching beneath Its
branches.
Scarcely less important than the
"Kings of the Forest are the beauti-
full elms. Tue "B,rsoyne E!m' was
planted at Albany, N. Y, on the day
that the British general, whose name
it bears, was brought into the city
after the surrender.
In Philadelphia, monument poorly
marks the spot where once stood the

LIFE'S PERPLEXITIES.

Ny life is shadowed by cloud,
Which darkens day by day;
1t casts a gloom upon my heart,
And twill not pass away;
1t fills me with an untold dread,
1t makes me sad-depressed;
My thoughts are ever strange and weird;
Oh! why this vague unrest?
The whole world seems one vast, dark sp ice,
Where naught is true or real;
E.ch persons face, a mask appears,
Some falsehood to ceal;
l look-in vain-for some sure test
OF friendships sacred bond,
And long to pierce the inner depths
The surf. ce glance beytnl.
A mystery sh-or'ls me in its folds,
A mystery, broad and deep;
1t follows me from day to day;
'Tis with me cen in sleep:
1t makes me wea-y Of this life,
And all that it contains;
TO Danish it oft have tried,
But still, DER me it reigns.
At times, wild desire will COM,
For what, cannot say;
When this departs dull desrair
And hopelessness hold sway;
feel 1 have no common lot
With these, my fellow men;
1 live apart-forlorn and sad!
The end-'twill come-but when?
Thus must travel day by day,
Content to work and wait,
Till Time, the master of all lives,
Shall fashion out my fate;
Perhaps the future may unfold
What now seems so obscure,
And render life for me more dear,
And make me feel more sure.

NO II
WOMEN WHO ARE
ssWORTH WHILE"

People who are really worth while,
seems favorite phrase of the moment
1t strikes the keynote to the tendency
of the day. The time when just to
be was sufficient is past. One must
be something in order to keep place
in the procession. Some marked charac-
teristic must be possessed by the wo-
man who wants to keep to the
front.
There was a time when a quality
designated as Sweetness" and mean
ing nothing distinctive, ,except,perhaps,
to declare there was nothing disagree
able to be said, would take one good
way toward popularity. But that was
as far back as day b,fore yester-
day.
The woman of today, If she has no
particular gift which makes her stand
out from her sisters, must cultivate
one. She must be individual. She
must rise above the curse of the COM
monplace. She must dominate. In
a way she must be aggressive, though
not aggressively so. There is all the
worlds difference in the way aggres-
sion is expressed.
The woman who studies her nature
as carefully as she does her complex
ion is clever, not conceited. Thrice
clever is she if she discovers her good
points and cultivates them. The cry
of "Be natural!' goes up from the
throat Of some reformer every little
while, but it is fatal advice, followed
literally. To win success through
naturalness one must be so absolutely
natural as to suggest art. And to be
that requires more study and more
effort than to be artificial.
Affection is natural trait. If it
cannot be absorbed into individuality
then it must be obliterated. The
greatest faddist:. of today is the woman
without fads. She is far surer..of be-
ing considered original than If she
ate with monkeys or pet tiger kit
ten or lion cub in the baby's bas-
sinet.
lisa perpetual study, that Of try
ing to be "worth while," for the def
inition of the phrase is so constantly
changing that ones efforts must be
frequently switched off on new lines.
Which may be wise thing after all,
for too much effort along one line is
apt to make it lop-sided.

Battle Of the Orator Celebrated.

Petersburg, Va, New. THE surviv-
ing members Of Mahone's brigade who
participated in the famous battle of the
Crater, July 81, 1884, have held re-
union on that battle field. The Crater
legion knelt in prayer on the field, after
which an address was delivered by
Colonel W. I'll. Stewart OF Portsmouth.
V@ The survivors then formed and
charged with the Confederate yell over
the ground raversed by them in the
battle. At the conclusion of the charge
there was sham battle by the visiting
military in which ali the maneuvers Of
Mahone's brigade in the battle of the
Crater were reproduced by infantry
and artillery
