A Tree on a SteepIe.

The spectacle of a tree standing upon q
tower of the Unitarian church in the city
of Utica, n. Y, has aroused much interest
as well as discussion az to what is really
essential to plant life in order that devel.
Dpment may continue.
This mountain ash has been growing
for 30 years upon a narrow ledge of sand
stone, sprouting from joint in the ma.
sonry less than an inch in width. The
main stem, just above the stone, at the
present time has diameter of inches.
The tree is 10 or IS feet in height, and
possibly feet across its widest part: the
branches are thick and numerous, and for
some years each autumn they have been
bright with the vivid scarlet berries pc.
culiar to this species of tree.
Protruding from a chink in mortared
wall, AZ feet above the street, exposed to
the glare of the sun in the summer and the
frosts of many severe winters, it's roots
only having the mortared interstices of
masonry through which to penetrate in
search of nutriment, the question may
well be asked, Where does this tree obtain
the elements that enter into the compost
ton of all plant lifeP Is it possible that it
is sustained like the known air plants, by
absorbing from the air and through its
foliage the elements upon which it lives
md thrivesS Or does dust settle in the
crevices?-American Agriculture.

Roman Charities.

1t would be great mistake to suppose
that pagan Rome did not know or did not
practice almsgiving. Under the republic
large sums were often disbursed to secure
popularity and influence, but toward it's
close philosophy promoted truly philan-
thrOpic, instead of an ostentatious and self
ish eXpenditure-to succor Widows and
orphans, to redeem captives and to bury
the dead. From the beginning of the
second century state aid was bestowed
monthly on the children of poor families.
When Antoninus lost his beloved bat
not very meritorious wife, Faustina, he
founded in her honor charitable institu-
ton for poor girls, who were termed puellte
FaUstinR. The example thus given was
'ollowed by private individuals, and Pliny
made many noble gift during his life,
known to us through his not possessing
the specially Christian virtue of conceal
ing his own good deeds.
A lady of Tarracina gave $4,000 to
found an institution for poor children,
and charitable legacies were not uncom-
mon, and epitaphs were sometimes written
which represented dead man congratu-
lating himself on having been merciful
and friend to the poor. A society large
ly animated by so benevolent spirit was
one prepared to appreciate Christian char
ity.-Nineteenth Century.
