That looks suspicious indeed. A full
description of the camel, and the man
has never seen it! He was held in
custody until they could interrogate
him further. He explained that he knew
the camel was blind in the left eye,
because he always bit the grass on the
right; he knew he was lame in his left
foot, because it made lighter impress
in the sand than his right one, showing
that he put less weight on it; hs knew
that he was loaded with honey ON one
side and grain on the other, because
OF the insects-flies and ants. | don't
remember which side the flies were on
or the ants were on. but any way the
flies We're on one side and the ants on
the other: he knew that one tooth was
gone from the animals mouth because
where he had bitten the grass he left
a place showing thathis tooth was out.
The traveller discovered these things
by observation. Now, any man could
have seen these points for they were
perfectly simple and yet not one man
out OF thousand would have noticed
them. This man showed himself to be
II close observer. We have TO notice
things to observe them. You may put
two men in d celebration like that at
Memphis, apparently of the same
mental calibre and one will get a
thousand things that the other will not
get, and why? Because the man that
gets these things has trained himself
to look, to notice. to observe. We
seldom know, indeed, we scion think,
we seldom think, of the lessons we may
learn byobservation from nature.
+ 1 nave made these remarks intro
ductory to a few practical lessons
which l desire to draw from nature.
The first one of the lessons is, that
every thing grows upward. Ofcourse
you nave noticed this. Every thing
gains the greatest height pos sible.

does not matter what you may do to
mar the beauty OF vegetation, every
effort that it makes is upward-it
wants to rise. Have you noticed that
we haye a higher regard for things
that reach the greatest hight? We
take the name eff the mountain that
towers the highest, which isla nds its
peak n the upper and bluer skv, and
weave IL into metaphors as an eloquent
cloak for thought. Because the EAGLE

realms of eternal silence, we symbolize
