HOW 1T GREW STRONG.
BY Trials This snpling Became n
Mighty Tree, sturdy and Truly
Magnificent,

A young tree, fair and shapely, as yet
had no rough experiences. 1t had daily
been kissed by the sun, caressed by the
zephyrs and nourishcd by gentle rains.
To ii life seemed fair indeed. But one
day things assumed a different aspect
The sun was hidden; the clouds became
black and threatening, yoicing their
wrath in rolling thunder; and the little
tree felt itself in the grasp of a rough
wind that bent and twisted its branches
and tugged at it until it seemed as if it
would tear it up by the roots When it
was about to give up, the wind released
its hold, apparently exhausted and the
young tree felt relieved But the wind
was merely giving it a respite, and soon
came at it again with more fury than
before, Again and again this happened,
and when the wind finally retired, the
tree found some of its fairest branches
broken, its roots lOosened in the soil.
and its body bruised and aching from
the topmost twig to the lowest rootlet.
1t took some time for the young tree
to recover from this assault. The sore
tibers sweled with the strain that had
been put upon them, and the roots dug
deeper into the loosened soil that they
might send up the increase of nourish-
ment to build up the breaks and alIay
the Inflammation. For days the little
tree groaned even when a zephyr played
with its leaves But by degrees the sore
ness passed away and the little tree
found, as the result of its trial, that its
girth had sensibly increased, and it
seemed to itself TO be stronger and more
full of yigor It. indeed, dreaded
another such experience, and when it
came it suffered again, though not quite
so much and the period of misery after
1t was shortened, while it was conscious
Of still greater access of life and
strength, and a greater grip of the
ground And so it continued getting
stronger and stronger after each strug-
gle with the wind until it came to like
nothing better than to wrestle with It,
It grew to be a mighty tree, so sturdy
that 1t defied even the hurricanes.
What pity it would have been for
hat tree to have had no rough usage!-
