THE HURON EXPOSITOR. A Little Torment. We live in a lonely country place, Some ten rods from the rdad ; We seldom see a team co by, Except sonic farmer's load. We would die of sheer stagnation, For the want of stir and noise, Were it not for one thing. We poesees The noisest of boys. Ile asks brain -rending questions — Till my patience near gives out; Ile wakes the forest echoes With his healthy, boyish shout; Ire squeezes little chickens, "'Cause he likes to hear them sing," And ties the puppy's head and feet Together with a string. His picture -cards he tears and cuts, Drops crumbs upon the floor; And, just for very mischief, shuts the cat's tail in the door. Ile pulls the puppy's ears because He likes to hear hint squeal ; But, in spite of roughness, puppy's Always tagging at his heel. One day 1 heard a frightful noise, sa setting -hen's fierce scpiall, Mid a boy's voice shouting lustily Within a hen -house wall. I hurried swiftly to the scene, But there I only found The hen in undisputed, preud Possession of the ground. Three eggs lay broken on the ground: t"The bay, oh- where was he?" Ask of the polliwogs and frogs, In the little muddy sea: Where I found him, wadisea to and fro, All spattered o'er with mud, Fit subject for the serubbing-brush, And a soap -and -water flood. But in spite of puzzling questions, And mediating little hands, So nimble and so busy, Andell brown with summer's brands ; In spite of all the trouble, The mischief, and the noise, Someway, he always seems to us - The very best of boys. Survivals in Surnames. BY ISAAC B. CHOATE.- It May not be without curious inter- est, even if it proMise no practical re- sult, to trace in, our English surnames some of the offices and dignities of the medieval church. To oarry the study into secular Fife would lead too tar afield for any ordinary paper. The limits .we have set. will require that we content ourselves with but a short and rapid -glance. The church remains in our family names under two forms—Church and Kirk. The former keeps the original spelling„ the- latter the original pronun- eiation. To illustrate this point it will only be - necessary to say that in the Doomsday Book of the twelfth and thir- teenth centuries the name of county Kent is written Chenth. The eh and th were then hard. in the south of Eng- land the written form was kept while the pronunciation underwent a change. In: the northern :counties, and in Scot- land,: where writing and printing were less practised,the form of the word had to conform to the eound which held over. We shalt see something similar- in the case of the leading official. The parson was called such in early tirees„ but his name was spelled persone, aa we see from Chaucer: " A good man, there was of religioun, That wasa poure Persone of a town, But rich he was ofholy thought and werk, He was also,a,lerned. man, a clerk,. That Cristes gospel trewely wolde preche." Here, the ward persone is• to be pro- nounced parson,and in the same way work and clerk should read wark and. clerk, jitiat as Carlyle-, used to speak them, and inst. as they are still spoken by many bath in England and in this country. Mie Lower has a theory that persone„ like Pierson and Pearson., is but Pierre's sou—that is, Peter's-- son. This is not so likely as that he was called the Person -by eminence. Respect for the affiee has preserved the word as spoken, and we now h-ave:to write it par- son. Chaucer's lines introduce to US eine other,office which this man held. He was a clerk ; that is,, a reader in the church,for a:clerk —elericus—was called such from: his ability torea,d, rather than to write, as we knowfrom the legal phrase,. benefit of clergy,which could be claimed by any one able to read his neck -verse, it may be more nearly cor- rect:to: say that persone expresses the dignity of the station, and clerk the duties of the office. • However that may be, we ha.ve the position well represent- ed in the family name Clark. Originally it was the equivalent of clergyman, and it belonged entirely to the ordained ministry. The only hint 1 have ever found that the name dark might in some instances have been assumed or given from secular employment is the Occur- reuee:in the Writs of Parliament ot the name Churcheclerk. This suggests the possibility of a clerk who was, not of the church. Priest, Pape, and Bishop are names which explain' themselves. The only difficulty they present is that they are so comnsene--at any rate, Pope-, and pos- sibly Bishop—as to show that the name was bestowed as a sobriquet. In the caselof Pope there .is no room for a doubt that roach was its origin. This carries us back to those pageantries and mock ceremonies which were so popular with all classes' andeonditions of men through- out the Middle ages-. It is said, for in- stance, that at the Epiphany, "in well high every parish, the visit of the Magi, always- accounted to have been royal personages•,. was regularly eelebrated. Though the manner varied in different places„ the cuatom was more or less the Arne.: There was a great feast, and one of the corapany was always elected king, the rest being', according to the lots they drenaeither ministers of state or maids • of honor," Merrick refers to these pageantriee : " Thy mummeries, thy tweIfe-tide kings. Thy queens, thy Christmas revellings.,a it thus appears that the name King came in • under the sanction of • the church,. and we see why it is ma with: so frequently. That it was a sobriquet such as our ancestors were very fond o•f bestowing appearsfrom the (recur- rence of such, names as Littlekingonhich would be applied to such a feast -appoint- ed monarch whose email size made the occasion all the more merry. Wyte- king was One of these sovereigns who Ware a white dress. Kyngeeman. (King- man) was one who attended upon the ruler of the revels. ' Abbot and Prior, or Pryor, teli their own story. Frere brings to mind - the friar, so ". pleasant of: absolution." The Crosiers, are those Who bare the pastoral. staff. The Berinets are so nu•merous that it is likely some of them took their name from Bzuediet ; but it is supposed that many derive their name from the exorcists of the church whose husinesa it was to drive out evil spirits, by the hieing on of hands and sprinkling with holy water. If this supposition is correct, then the Dame- Bennet is eofl. meted with the _verb to ban. cannon and Monk are plain enough; but Munn, as a, form of the latter, or rather TOf the earlier Moyne, is not so evident. Chap- lin and Chaplain are the same. Deacon is rare. Saxton becomes plain through sexton, seeretan, sacristan. He used to have charge of the robes and _ vestments of the priest. Torn Hood says : "He went and told the sexton, And the sexton tolled the bell;" but it is more likely that this was done by Mr. Beadle, Biddle, Bedell, or how- ever he spelled his name, for this officer was originally a summoner, act- ing under the sheriff's orders. In his civil capacity he is now known under the name of Sumner. The good old vicar's descendants live about us as Vicks, Vickarys, and Vicker- mans. The Palmers are a boat, and each one, in his name, recalls those pilgrimages to the Holy Land which were so frequently made in the time of the Crusades. As one meets them in the street, he looks instinctively for the scallop shell in their hats; if he has out- grown the childish fancy that such per- sons always bear'palm-branches ha their hands. Another name likely to call up visions dimly seen with misty eyes is Armitage. This is but the cockney form of hermitage—the h being dis- carded, and the e replaced by a, as was found to be the case in persone. Piers the -Plowman mentions the Armitages as those "That holden them in their celles." They were the more quiet and studious of the monks. Visions such as this name and others of kindred origin call up are but glimpses at the best, of a season which lies under the half-light of a morning sun shining through drifting mists. If in these we find an opening through whieh streams out some gleam of light from that fervid glow kindled in the meditative ex- ercises of cloister life, the study of these names will not result in merely gratify- ing an idle curiosity. It will help us to rehabilitate the life of early times with something of the show this made while t was passing. A Biblical Puzzle. SAID TO BE OF REMOTE PERSIAN ORIGIN. Over a hundred years ago the follow- ing so-called Genesis 51st was used, says the Albany Journal, to puzzle Biblical scholars, and to -day, were it read aloud in any mixed company, it is question- able if its fraudulent nature would be discovered, so beautifully is the spirit and language of the Old restament imi- tated 1. And it came to pass after these things that Abraham sat in the door of his tent about the going down of the sun. 2. And behold a man, bowed down with age, came from the way of the wilderness, leaning on his staff. 3. And Abraham arose and met him, and said unto him : Turn in, I pray thee, and wash thy feet, and tarry all night, and thou shalt arise early on the mor- row and go thy way. 4. But the man said: Nay, for I will abide under this tree. 5. And Abraham pressed him greatly; eo he turned, and they went into the tent, and Abraham baked unleavened bread and they did eat'. 6. And when Abraham saw that the man blessed not Gad, he said unto him: Wherefore dost thou not worship the most high God, creator of heaven and earth? 7. And the man -answered and Haid I do not worship the God thou speakest of ; neither do I call upon his name, or I have made to inyself a God, which ribideth always in my house and provid- eth me With all things. 8. And Abraham's zeal was kindled against the man, and he arose and drove him forth with blows into. the wilder- ness. 9. And at midnight God called unto Abraham saying: Abraham, where is the stranger? 10. And Abraham answered and said; Lord, he would not worship thee, neither would he call upon thy name, therefore have I driven him out from before my face into the wilderness. 11. And God said: Have I not borne with him these hundred ninety and eight years, and nourished him, and clothed him, notwithstanding his rebellion against me, and coultPst not thou, thou that art thyself a sinner, bear vvith him one night? 12. And Abraham said: Let not the anger of my Lord wax against his ser- vant; lo! I have sinned, forgive me, I pray thee. 13. And Abraham arose and 'went forth into the wilderness and sought diligently for the man,. and found hlim. and returned with him tb the tent, and when he had entertained him kindly, he sent him away on the morrovi with gifts. 14. And God spoke again unto Abra- ham, saying : For this Ithy sin shall thy seed be afflicted 400 years in a strange land. 15. But for thy repentance will I de- liver them, and they shall come forth with power, and with gladness of heart, ,and with much substance. ' In 1759, when in England as agent for the colony of Pennsylvania, Benjamin' Franklin privately printed this "Ichap- ter," as he always termed it. Taking only a sheet of paper, he kept it laid in his Bible at the end of Genesis, and used to amuse himself by reading it aloud to his friends and hearing them express cheir surprise that their openly iexpress- ed admiration of the moral t Orried with it. Its origin is unknown. It has been traced back 700 years to a.Persian poet, who simply says "it was So relat- ed." It must be very old. The Work of the Trees. From the reports of a recent lecture on Forestry by Mr. G. H. Parsons w make -the following extracts I " The tree of the field is man's life, said the inspired law -giver of thej Hebrews. In this short sentence, writ- ten over :3,000 years ago, is condensed all that trees do for us. They give us life. NVithout them we cbuld not live. in destroying them we destroy our means of existence. This rnay seem searcely credible, but it is a Biblical anti a scien- tific truth. As a Biblical truth we may accept it by faith, .and as. a Seientifre truth we may search the records of science and be convinced. ' • " To the outward eye a tree is a very plain, simple thing, with its root, stem, and branch, wood, bark, and leaf, given to us to provide shade and fruit, and to gr-atify our sense for the beautiful with its form and color. But much more than this is there. There are invisi- ble powers working ceaselessly within and around it, which control and direct the machinery of the world. As we study the origin and 'life of a tree we learn with wond6r the mighty prepara- ion made for its comina on earth, and the abundant provision 'for its continu- ance. We see, as Maurice de Guerin Wrote, 'Nature all absorbed in the mystery of her maternities,' and realize hat the gigantic forces of the world which for ages were busy upon the arth have been preparing it for the rowth of trees. The. forest was the nishing touch put to the earth, and with it the dwelling -place,• prepared by od for man, was declared complete. "The provision in nature for the re- ewal and continuance of the tree rowth is very remarkable. -When cer- ain requisite conditions of climate are resent the hardest rock is as certain to be overgrown with wood as the most ertile plain. Lichens and mosses first repare the way by retaining the mois- ure of rains and dews and bringing it • act with the gases evolved from their wn organic processes in decomposing he surface of the rocks they cover; they rrest and confine the dust which the vind scatters over them, and their final ecay adds new material to the soil already half formed beneath and upon them. A very thin stratum of earth is sufficient for the germination of seeds of the hardier trees, whose roots are often found in direct contact with the rock, find which seem to want but little more from the earth than the mechanical con- ditions fa,voaable to the penetration of their roots and the support of their runks in an upright position; the whole f their substance being derived directly Er indirectly from the atmosphere. These prepare the way for other trees and plants by deepening and enriching the soil through the decomposition of their own foliage. This elaborate and pareful provision of nature to insure the permanency of trees indicates that i they Must have a work to perform which has its effect upon all the conditions of the earth. The importance of this effect May be seen in any country where the wanton hand of man has destroyed the forest. I "Spain under the reign of the Moors resembled a vast garden, yielding grain and trait in every known variety of the most perfect quality and in endless 4bundance. But the luxuriant growth Of timber which covered the sierras and inountain slopes was destroyed under the rule of the kings, and now one-half f its territory is desert -like and unfit or cultivation, while the once delicious elimate has become changeable and rough. Sieily, once the great grain reservoir of the world, has been despoil- ed of its forests and gradually lost its fertility and the mildness of its climate, Lind the ruins of proud and opulent Syracuse now lie in a desert covered by aand which the hot siroccos carried over the sea from Africa. Greece and Italy, once the homes of the powerful nations who covered its surface with gardens, parks, and villas, and sent forth great 0,rmies to subdue the world, are little more than a ruin of. their former gran- deur. . I "Palestine, the Promised Land of the time of Joshua, flowing with milk and honey, capable of producing the rich and numerous people ruled by Solomon, is now an arid and sterile land, yielding a Scanty living to a miserable people. Where in Africa or Asia could now be supported the great peoples which formed the vast empires of Assyria, Persia and Egypt? And not only in these ancient seats of civilization, but in almost every country on the face of the globe, may be seen the direful results of the destruction of the forests. In the forcible language of G. P. Marsh, 'The earth is fast becoming an unfit home for its noblest inhabitant, and another era of equal human crime and human im- tie-evidence, and of like duration with that through which traces of that crime and that improvidence extend, would re- duce it to such a condition of impover- ished productiveness, of shattered sur- face, of climatic excess, as to threaten 11 10 the depravation, barbarism, and perhaps nven the 'extinction of the species.'" • Peeping into a Harem. Clearly our friend is a man of catholic tastes in the matter of women, says Joseph Thompson, the African traveller, describing a visit to a chief iu tha Sou- dan. His harem presents all kinds of aces and figures, from the oopper-col- ored Fillani, with slender, lithe figure, well shaped face and positively beauti- ful.,eyes'to the shapeless form, black skin, ugly face and muddy eyes of the lowest negro type. They are all dressed alike, with a lower turkedi or cloth around the waist, hanging to the ankles, a second sheet wound around the body 'hinder the arm- pits and a third worn in the varied modes of a shawl on the head and shoul- ders. The hair is gathered into a solid igreasy fringe, which extends from the I brow to the nape of the neck, something after the manner of the crest of the hel- met. From each temple hangs a kind of stiff love -lock. The ankles are a- dorned with enormously heavy anklets bf solid brass, the bar being a little short of an inch and 'a half in thickness, the ends ornamented with neatly made poly- gonal beads. Nothing better finished Could be turned out of a European work- IshopO Round the wrists are placed several more brass bracelets, not so expensively but so heavy that to ease their arms the wearers are frequently to be seen with hands clasped behind the head or banging down their backs. Their orna- ments urrually include a string of agate beads made in the country. The wo- men, unlike the men, do not affect white colors, the more fashionable cloth being !checks ofhdark blue, a medium tint of the same, white and magenta. Among those who can afford expensive articles the latter two colors are prevalent. Strangers are not usually admitted in - o the family compound, but it must not e supposed that the women are kept trictly inside and never let out. Quite Ithe reverse. In the evenings they are almost invariably at liberty to wander forth and join in any dance or merry - Making there may be afoot, and I would pot like to be responsible for the state - Meet that their behavior is always of the best on these occasions. During the day also, if any of the women have any- thing to buy or sell at the market, there is no restriction of their going thithers In the more wealthy families. however, there is always one if not two wives Who are kept in'strict seclusion and not unfrequently eunuchs are employed to guard the morals of the harem. • Mild, soothing, and healing is Dr. Sage's Ca- tarrh Remedy.
