IT CANNOT BE.
The dying lips cf a dear friend
At parting spoke to me,
Saying: "Wheresoe'er your path may trend
There ever I shall be.
"Go -walk where over Egypt's sand
The burning simooms blow,
Or in Alaska's sunless land,
Your wake my wing shall know.
"When winter's nights are long and dark?
I'll lead you by the hand.
And when the waves beat on your bark
Will beacon you to land. "
He died. I watched his spirit go
Across death's darkening sea.
He came not back, and now I know
Qt things that cannot be.

PLACE NAMES.
Some Odd and Curious Names of Places
In Massachusetts.
In the Middlesex fells some good old
colonial names are preserved, like Jin
glejerry hill and Shillyshally brook.
Spot pond was named by Governor
Winthrop, who discovered it in the win?
ter, because of the many rocks that
showed through the ice and spotted the
surface. Powderhorn hill in Chelsea is
said to have been bought from the In?
dians for a hornful of powder.
The fact of misfortune to divers un?
known persons-whether trivial cr great
does not appear-finds a record in Bad
Luck brook and swamp in Rehoboth,
Bad Luck mountain in Granville and
Bad Luck pond in Douglas. There may
be some association between Bumcoat
brook and pond in Leicester and Spencer
and Burnshirt river, likewise in Worces?
ter county.
Drinkwater river is a felicitous name
for a stream of good water. It is in
Hanover, and possibly there may have
been a family of that name in the neigh?
borhood. Strong Water brook in Tewka
bury has quite different associations.
Sought For pond, in Westford, suggests
a long and bai??ed quest for the spot
through the wilderness in the. olden
days. One of the least euphonious of
names is Skug river in Esses and Mid?
dlesex counties. It is worthy a place
among such English names as Worm
ood Scrubs, a park in London,
he legend about the names of the
.of islands on the south coast pre
n instance of how fancied resem- j
blaSWs give rise to stories. It is related
that these islands once belonged to a
man with four daughters. To Nancy,
the oldest, the father gave the first
choice, and the fact that "Nan took it"
is recorded in the name of Nantucket,
the island she selected. Nantucket, o?
course, is in reality an Indian name.
Martha's Vineyard and the Elizabeth
islands went to Martha and Elizabeth,
respectively, while for the fourth daugh?
ter, whose name has been lost to mem?
ory, there was nothing left but the most
remote and undesirable of the group,
which was called-No Man's Land, be?
cause its owner was a woman. The
Elizabeth islands, in fact, were named
for Queen Elizabeth by Bartholomew
Gosnold, their discoverer, whose name
has been given to the town that com?
prises them.-Boston Transcript.
To ?ccp Oranges Fresn.
To keep oranges or lemons fresh for
any length of time select firm ones,
wrap each one in soft paper, put it in a
glass jar with white sand that has
been previously dried in the oven
around each orange' and with a thick
layer over the top.
HE LOST A FORTUNE.
Or, '?There Are Moments When One Wants
to Be Alone."
A middle sized man, with a gray
mustache and a red tie hitched up on
his collar, walked through the restau?
rant, nodding to acquaintances here and
there. As he stopped at the cashier's
desk a man who was seated at a table
noticed him, and, leaning across to his
vis-a-vis, said, ' 'Captain S-, United
States postal inspector and grand official
catcher of green goods men."
"Yes*:" with interest from the man
across the table.
"Sure. I have always regarded him
with a peculiar affection. He came very
near making me a rich man once-in
fact, almost made a wealthy citizen of
me-so well to do that I would never
have had to work again."
"How was that?" with a shade of
incredulity.
"This way: About a year ago the
captain superintended a grand haul of
green goods men. The firm which he
raided was the largest;, perhaps, in the
country and had unlimited capital.
They had packages of good money to
catch suckers with, and this money,
amounting to over $150,000, was cap- j
tured and placed in a big satchel by the
captain. I called on him for details of \
the story that afternoon. He was alone
in the office. There were three of us
the captain, myself and the satchel. He
opened the satchel and showed me
wealth beyond my wildest dreams. I
hated to leave the beautiful vision."
And the narrator sighed deeply.
"Well," said his friend, "I don't see
how that was anything like making you
a rich EJ3H."
"You don't? Well, let me tell you
this: If the'captain had turned his back
for just six seconds I would have been
a rich man immediately. But he never
turned, and I had to go away again as
poor as when I came."
And with another bitter, heartrending
sigh he watched the inspector stroll out
into the street.-Chicago News.

With careful rotation o?
