American Names.

If we have some growing sense of
desire to touch with poetry the termi-
nology of our American towns, we
have succeeded so far only in securing
a slightly picnic grove atmosphere such
as is given off by Lakewood or River
side. The rich sentimentalism of the
real estate dealer has done what it
could, considering the hurry he is in.
If we have a new manufacturing sub
urb, the chances are we shall be too
lazily and fatty patriotic, call it Lin
coin and be done with it, or too crude
ly romantic, in which case the secre-
tary of the company will report to the
directors that he has had the place
incorporated as Ivanhoe. With the
slightest dash of poetry in his soul he
might keep true TO the strenuous char
acter of the place, with all its prospec-
tive labor agitations, and at the same
time give tinge of beauty to the sit
uation forever by calling it Fretley, or
If it is a place where hammers are to
ring from morning to night why not
call it Stroke instead of naming ii
Smithville after the present chief
stakeholder in the concern?-Atlantic

A Queer New ENGLAND eetrothaI.

Hawthorne found romance or the
shores of old New England, and there
is a good deal of it unminded in the
modern life of the Yankees. The fol-
lowing story of love and marriage,
strange as it may seem, is true:
Years ago summer boarder at a
cottage on a point of land which form
ed the protecting arm of the -harbor of
fishing town in Massachusetts was
shown a girl baby only a few months
old. He looked at the babe and adj
mired, then said to the mother:
''Will you give me that babe for my
wife,"
The mother had known the young
man for several summers. She liked
him and therefore answered promptly,
Yes"
Twill you promise never to tell her
that you have selected me as her hus.
band?"
yes"
The conditions of the singular be
trothal were observed. The girl baby
grew up, and summer after summe,
the young man courted her When she
was eighteen he married her, and MOI
till then did she know that she hat
been betrothed to her husband while il
her cradle. Can old romance be more
romantic than this story Of New
England fishing own?-Exchange.
