The Bowl That Preached q Ser
mon.

A city boy by the name Of Ferdi-
nand, whose parents were very rich,
took a long walk into the country.
Becoming a little weary, he stopped
at a farmhouse and bought large
bowl Of bread and milk. He took it
under a shady tree and sat down to
enjoy the luxury; it was SO good.
But little way off stood poor boy
who had also wandered out of the
city. He was thin and pale, and he
looked hungry; but he had no money,
Ferdinand knew right well. At one
moment he thought of dividing his
bread and milk with the poor boy, as
the thought came that it would taste
even better than to him. But he
smothered his generous impulse, and
ate the whole. Ga its being emptied,
he saw at the bottom of the bowl q
picture in blue which he began study
ing a little. Around the picture
were some printed words. He read,
he blushed, and then, as if suddenly
struck with a thought, he hastened
again to the house, ordered the bowl
filed, and went back to the poor boy,
to whom he gave it, and told him to
eat it while resting by the road side.
Now for the sermon that proved so
effective in its work: "He deserves to
suffer hunger who refuses to share
with the poor"

A bare headed cypress, seen at the
present day on the road from Vera
Cruz to Mexico, is celebrated for
having sheltered the whole army of
Fernando Cortez beneath its mighty
shade. As its trunk, which is one
hundred and seventeen feet in cir
cumference, surpasses that of the
baobabs, and its growth is slower
than theirs, De CandOlle supposes
this tree may not be less than six
thousand years old. Thrice famous
for its strange look, its vast size, and
its antiquity, the dragon's-tree Dra-
cena Draco) of the Canaries is
equally so for the stationary condi-
tion of its growth. In the legends of
Teneriffe we are told that this singn-
lar tree was worshipped by the
Gauches, its original inhabitants;
and it is related that in the fifteenth
century mass was celebrated IN the
interior of it's trunks fact even
lately attested by the vestiges which
were seen of a little altar. This tree
grows so slowly, that after a tolera-
bly, long interval of time it was not
possible to verify any change in its
