SOME PRAIRIE BREEzEs.

81 ENDEAVOR. ~
Nay, tell me not what is must be,
The sluggard's foul philosophy
is this. No wretch in squalor lies
But vet may triumph if he tries.
Nor ten me Fate, by set DEGREES
MARKS out our lots and boundaries,
There is no Fate of lot or goal
But stubborn Doing may control.
No stress Of griefsor bitterness
Assails thee that is purposeless,
Misfortune but a hand Ito lead
Thy steps alright if thou wilt heed.
No foul dishonor clings to him
Who stumbles in the battle grim,
But all dishonored, they who yield
And lie, as towards, on the field.
The soul THAT falters in the fight
Ere it shall scale its utmost height,
What be its measure of success
is yet a failure, not the less.

This Is the l7elief or an Indian AMI
Some Other THibes.
The Sioux Indians still share with
the old Aryan and Semitic tribes in the
belief that there are trees that bring
forth human beings and others that
bear various portions Of the human
body, and in the fourteenth century,.
an Italian traveller, on arriving at Nal
abar, was told by the natives that the
country abounded with a tree that
bore men and women. The latter were
attached to the limbs by the neither ex-
trernities and were full formed when
the wind blew, but when the wind died
out they 9 . Withered. These speci-
mems Of humanity reached the length
or height Of three feet.
In the first book of the Mahadharata
mention is made Of forms Of dwarfs
that were to be found on q large fig
tree. The Arabs are still strong in the
belief that somewhere in the southern
ocean there is q tree that bears a nut
that resembles the face Of a man and
when in its fullness the mouth opens
and gives voice to the cry: WAX!
Walk" The Chinese reverse the order
OF things and. instead OF believing that
the trees give birth to men, claim that
in the beginning the herbs and grass
sprang from the hair Of the human
family. They have preserved the ira
dition, too, that somewhere within the
borders Of the beautiful Flowery
Kingdom there is q wonderful lake by
whose margin grew trees whose leaves
developed into birds and also that, ii
q jar be broken on the waters, birds OF
the most brilliant plumage will at once
arise from the pieces and fly off.
In central India there is q tribe call
ed Khatties that claim TO have their
origin from q stick Of wood. When

whose exploits are told in the Mahad-
harata. had become simple tenders Of
