When Xerxes Fell in love Wirh q Tree

Plutarch tells a remarkable story about a famous soldier's infatuation for a tree. He says that the great Xerxes halted his army of seventeen hundred thousand soldiers to admire a Plane tree. He was so in love with the loveliness of the tree that we are told by Plutarch that he "doted on it." More than that, he took off his richest garments and put them on the tree, and in addition he took from his concubines and from his mightiest generals their jewels and bracelets, their rich scarfs and their gold, and with them bedecked this tree. He seemed to lose all interest in the battle he was then preparing for, in fact he lost the battle because of the delay occasioned by his worship of the tree. And when he was forced to leave he caused a picture of the tree to be stamped on a medal of gold which he ever after \,\rore.

The R.etort Courleous

A cute little number approached the floorwalker in the store. "Do you have notions on this floor?" she wanted to know.

The Old House

I tell you I smelled lilacs there tonightTheir dear, damp fragrance sweet against the snow, Where the old lilac bush stood in the moonlight, Beside the path where lovers used to go. But that's a tall apartment there? I know it. But none the less I smelled the lilac plain, And saw a girl too young to be a poet, Pressing her face to lilacs in the rain; A young girl weeping in a vanished rain.

Tolerqnce

I care not what his creed may be Nor what his caste or clan, He still shall be a friend to me If he shall play the man.

No barrier or creed shall fling Its prejudice before The honest man who comes to bring His friendship to my door.

If he be gentle, brave and true, And stand with head erect, This much he is entitled toMy friendship and respect. And if he be ill-mannered here, Selfish and speak the lie, I shall not hold his conscience clear Because he prays as f.

I shall ,not bother with the shame Of any sinful deed, Or seek to gloss a tarnished name With luster of a creed.

I shall not ask his form of prayer, Nor what his church may be, The good man, kind and just and fair, Shall find a friend in me.

-Edgar A. Guest A Ploy of Words

A primary school boy was asked to write a sentence using the words "analyze" and "anatomy," so he wrote it in rhyme, as follows: My analyze over the ocean, My analyze over the sea, O who will go over the ocean, And bring back my anatomy.

Old Age Ripens

Theodore Parker wrote: "The man reaps in his old age as he sowed in his youth and manhood. He ripens what he grew. Private selfishness is less now than ever before. He loves the eternal justice of God, the great higher Law. Once his hot blood tempted hirn, and he broke, perhaps, that law; now he thinks thereof with grief at the !\rrong he made others suffer, though he clasps his hands and thanks God for the lesson he has learned even from his sin.

"He needs now the great attraction whereby all things gravitate toward God. He knows there is swift justice for nations and for men, and he says to the youth,: ,Rejoice, O young men, in thy youth. Let thy heart cheer thee. But know thou that for these things God will bring thee into account. Hear the sum of the whole matter, love God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.'"
