Resulted Disastrously.
A college student in one of our west
srn states returned home after his course
was finished to find that his father,
clergyman with a small salary, W
eking out his living by running SIN
farm. One of the adjuncts of the farm
was COW, a pretty good animal, which
however, had strong aversion to being

Here was an opportunity for display
of the lately acquired knowledge of the
Juvenile oollegian.
Father, . said he, Professor q. says
If one will place a weight upon cows
back it will make her give down tbs
milk.
The reverend gentleman, favorably
impressed with this information that
his son had learned from Professor G..
decided to try the simple remedy. In
stead, however, of placing a weigh.
upon the cows back, the clergyman
placed himself upon it. But then he
answered the purpose. The COW, how.
ever, was still obstinate
''Tie my legs under the cow" said
the father to his son.
The son did so But the COW, unused
to such unusual and arbitrary proceed
ings, manifested her displeasures by
rearing and plung1ng, entirely unmind-
full of the dignity of the parsonage
astride her spinal column It was get
ting altogether too interesting for the
two btpeds concerned in the TRANSACT
ton.
'Cut the rope, cut the ropel'' shout
ed Mr.. V. to his dutiful son, meaning
the rope by which he was attached to
the COW.
But the son, being somewhat excited,
cut the rope by which the COW was fas.

the COW took an unceremonious exit
from the stable, and down through the
street she went. The minister accom-

Tho Glory of Trees.
The natiGlal pride of America in its
giant trees is we'll founded. If the
giants of our own woods appeal to US as
an embodiment Of magnifcenoe what
must be the impression created by this
hall Of columns, in which each equals |
in height the spire of a cathedral and |
has stood through ages of whose dura.
ton the years of the oak are ali incon- |
siderable fraction? These California I
giants lack one element OF impressive
ness They have no associations other
than those which their size conjures up.
Human fancy has never played with
their mighty forms So far as is known
40 human eyes have watched the ages
of their growth. They have no place in
the story of nations. They have built
no temples and furnished no navies.
They have no place in story. They were
found alone in the wilderness, as the
fur hunter found the ice cased
in world of their own. To
he mind of the educated west the
groves of the cedars of Lebanon would
appeal more Strongly than the groves
If the Sierra Nevada. The bulk of the
me could not outweigh the associations
If the other. But to the primitive no.
ions of eastern peoples the giant tree
makes direct appeal not only for re-
pect, bu5 for worship. Whatever de-
parts from the ordinary course of ma
ure strikes them as the immediate work

erves something of the divine. Lon
