THE COW TREE.


Mr.. Humboit IN the fourth volume OF ms
personal Narrative, gives the following
account OF this wonder OF the vegela'
ble world.
| "Amid the great numper of curious phe-
uomsna which have presented themselves
10 me in the course OF my travels, con
Ifess there are few that have so powerfully
affected my imagination, as the aspect oil
the COW tree. Whatever relates 10 MIX,
Whatever regards corn, inspires an inter
est which is not merely that of the physic-
al knowledge OF Things, but is connected
with another order of ideas and SEMI
ments. Can scarcely conceive how
The human race could exist without farina-
ceous substances, and without that nour-
ishing Juice which the breast oil the mother
contains, aud which is appropriated TO
Ihe long feebleness of the infant. The
| amylaceous matter of corn, the object oil
religious veneration among SO many IA
lions, ancient and modern, is diifused IN
The seeds and deposited in the roots OF
vegetables milk, which serves us as an
aliment, appears 10 us exclusively the
produce Of animal organization. Such
are the impressions We have received IN
our earliest Infancy; such is also the
source oil that establishment winch selzes
us at the aspect of the tree jas; describ-
ed. 1t is not here the solemn shade OF
forests, the majestic course oil rivers, the
mountains wrapped in eternal frosts, that
excite our emotion-A few drops OF ve-
getable juice recall to eur minds all the
poweriulness ard secundiiy OF nature.
Onthe barren flank of rock grows tree
with COURAGEOUS aud dry leaves. Its
large woody roots Can scarcely penetrate
into the stone. For several months oil
the year not single shower holsters its
foliage. Its branches appear dead and
dried; but when its trunk is pierced
there flows from it sweet aud nourishins'
milk. 1t is at the rising of the sun that
this vegetable fountain is most abundant.
The blacks aud natives are then seen has.
teniDg from all quarters furnished with
large bowls to receive the milk, which,
grows yellow, and chickens at its surface.
Some empty their bowls under the tree
itself, others carry the juice home to their
children. We seem to see the family of
a. shepherd, who distributes the milk To-
his flock.
have described the sensation which
the COW tree awakens ia the mind of the
traveller, at the first view. In examining
the physical properties of animal and We.
getabIe productions, science displays them
as closely linked together; but it strips
them Of what is marvellous, and perhaps
also Of part of their charms, of what ex
cited our establishment. Nothing appears
isolated; the chemical principles that
were believed to be peculiar to animals
are foundin plants; common chain links
together all organic nature"

THE LOVE OF GOD.

The writings Of The Rev. J. w. Cum
ningham, are remarkable for their force,
beauty and simplicity. 1t is an attribute
Of the religion of some, to view God
only as he sits pavilioned 10 clouds, roll
ing the thunders, and flashing the light
nings of Mount Sinai but not as be de-
scends, shorn of his beams, and with heal
ing in his wings, upon the holy hill OF
Ziou.'' Mr.. Cunningham, in the charac
ter of Berkiey, in The Velvet Cushion, .
has most eloquentiy portrayed the lore
with which God ever tempers his justice
OF Berkeley he says;
'In like manner it led him to dwell
with peculiar emphasis, upon the features
of n,ercy ia the character of God. In the
conduct Of father, the equality of love
would be sure to predominant; and Berk.
ley ever seemed to be searching out, even
ia the darkest of the divine dispensations,
some ray of compassion, which bespoke a
parental hand. Even Che would say J
amidst the monuments Of wrath which sad
den the face of the universe, discern,
both in man, and the world he inhabits,
many splendid relics Of nobler creation.
II is indeed, world Of ruins, but of ruins
diversified and ennobled by many lofty
pillar, designating the majesty of the ORR
ginal edifice. Look even at the most sig
nal examples of divine vengeance and
love will always be seen sheahing or tenn
pering the sword of justice. When, for
instance, the fountains of the great deep
were broken up, food swept the face Of
guilty world even then, the ark sur
mounted the waves, and restored the only
pious family to an unoccupied globe.
Did the waves Of the Red Sea, close In
upon all the hosts, and enguIf the chariots
OF guilty Egypt? Behold whole peo-
pie with their flocks and herds preserved
upon the banks OF that very sea- as If TO
shew, That "in judgment God remembers
mercy" Did the vault of heaven blaze
with unusual fires, and empty its burn
ing dcIuge Oh the profigate cities of the
plain? There, also, the solitary servan,
of God is seen walking unhurt upon the
fiery soil, aud amidst the atmosphere Of
death. Even when the earth shook
when the face of heaven was darkened-
when the veil Of the temple was rent
and the groans Of nature proclaimed the
just anger Of Coda voice Of mercy was
heard amidst the clamours and agOnies oil
the universe" to-day shalt thou be with
me ia Paradise;" aud the Son Of God as.
cended to his Rather, not dragging at his
chariot wheels thousands of his persecu.
tors, but bearing 10 his arms one poor

The following lines we're written on parting WI
a gentleman at the door Of one OF the protesta
churches in Paris, Immediately after divine Sc
vice.
STRANGER! 1 know thee not by name,
And yet my heart is knit to thine;
Our Heavenly Father is the same,
And thy Redeemer, too. is mine.
Stranger! read ii in thine eye,
And in thy accents meek and mild,
And in thy words of charity,
That God has chosen thee his child.
The moment was f1eeting one,
In which we felt the Christian tie,
But while these eyes behold the sun,
Sacred shall be its memory.
Perchance beyond this world of care,
God may permit our souls to meet,
And in the realms of bliss to share
Remembrance of an hour so sweet
