While here and there, i'll their rustling

A nut or two might be found.
stroled out under chestuut-tree,
When down on my head came, pop.
A nut that had taken just that time
From far up limb to drop.
"well,' said to myself, III the least event
Has lesson 10 teach, IL we
But choose to find il, | mean to try
What this chestnut will say TO me-
So l took the prckly thing in my hand,
And what do you think came nextf
Why, the chestnut preached sermon to me,
Aud took itse!f for II text.
II think You will find this life" 1t said,
"In some respects much like me;
Aud perhaps twas TO show you the best
part of both
That came down, just now, from the
tree.
"My outside is fresh and green, you per-
ceive,
Aud pleasant enough to the sight,
But prickers and thorns are on every side
As you'll find if you hold me too tight
And il you de- hold me soon will get dry;
All my good looks will vanish away;
In very short time most unsightly I'll
grow,
And begin to show signs of decay"
$50, them" and tossed the thing out of
my hand.
."You are useless and worthless" cried;
stay, stay said the nut, you have seen
but the shuck;
There is something worth having inside.
$50 handle me lightly, and LOOK right in
here,
You will find something good now;
know
That's the part that you want, now you've
got the true mt
And the rest can afford to let 60
There's much Of the outside and show OF
this life
That bright to your eyes will appear;
But graspcd, its rough sides will cost many
al pain
And its sharp thorns full many tear.
And then when you do hold your coveted
prize
(Thi- thing that has cost you 50 dear),'
Its beauty will fade, and its substauc,
decay,
And its worthlcssuess quickly appear.
In some lives that We see dixie some nuts
you will tind),
/ The kernel is shriveled and SMALL
There is no sweetness there; the outsid,
can't last,
/ So the whole is worth nothing at all.
But others you'll fiud full sweet to tn,
taste,
Though the shuck has begun to decay;
So some lives never show their full sweet
ness and strength
Till the outside is passing away.
so handle life's outside only enough
To extract its true goodness its kernel,
And gain from il nourishmcnt, strength
which shall help
To grow up TO the true life eternal"
The sermon was over thought as rose
How much of true wisdom there lay
In the lesson learned out under the tree
Where the chestnut preached that day
