Plants Of The Bible.

7 --The Bay -Tree
The marginal reading given in our
Engliel; version (Pe, 87:35 le "A green
tree that ornweth it, hi,' own toil;'
which is the literal weeping "f he
Hebrew 'word Azvaeb. The Srp'ua-
gint, however, have translated it
Cedar;. bet there seems no very testis -
factory authority for rendering it Bay -
Tree. The Azraoh is only found in the
37th Psalm. "r have seen the winked
In peat power, and spreading hi neelf
like a green bay -tree." The expression
is certainly more forcible if read ac-
cording to the marginal reading, an
above, This, like the "tree planted by
the rivers of water," mentioned in the
Brat Psalm, and "the tree planted, by
the waters, and that spreadeth out
.her Kinn, by the river, and eball not
eee when heat cometh, hut her lea
shall be green," alluded to in the 17Th
chap, of Jeremiah, have oeeaeloned
great disputes among meu of Biblical
learning. Some think tbet the Pa;lrn-
let and the prophet, in all of these
inetancee, directly alluded to the ex-
quisitely beautiful shrub Nertuw
oleander, which is still found by the.
sides of streams in Palestine. This,
in England is called the rose -bay tree;
and Qerarde says it makes "a sealant
show like the bay -tree," The bay -
tree iteelf is the Laurus notifies, a
pative of Italy, and various places in
Asia, and is of the came family ae the
oinnamon and camphor tree. Pro-
bably one tranelatore were misled by
the analogy between the rose -bay and
sweet -bay. It therefore seems to some
more safe to stick to the' marginal
reading, than to the "green hay -tree"
of the text. Our translators are
countenanced however, In their rend-
ering of the passage by several of the
older vereia'ne, both in Britain and
en the Continent. The plant to which
they allude appear; only as a sbrub
in these countries, but in tbe southern
parte of Europe becomes a tree,
twenty or thirty feet high. It bas
beautifully veined shining ever -green
leaves which are highly and pleasant-
ly aromatic, The Sowers are yellow,
and appear on old trees only; the
fruit is black, of the size of an unripe
olive, and strongly aromatic. Thie
celebrated plant has attracted the
attention of alt ages. It is the Daphne
of the Greeks and the Laurus of the
Latina. It was destined to furnish
the Delphic wreath, to grace the head
of the triumphant hero, to guard the
gate of the Caesars and of the Pontine
,Maximue, and to he plated on the
O e
houses of the sick. The Delphic
priestess wore it on her head, chewed
the leasee, and then threw them on
the fire. if we consider the varied.
pompous, and imposing purposes to
which this favoured plant was applied.
there is, it must he confessed, some-
thing e.triking in competing it to tbe
"wicked when great in power" In
these remarks, the reader, will perhaps
find materiale which may enable bim
to form an opinion as to the Mateyo
merits of the residing in rhe text and
the marginal reading. The baytree
is of the plass Enneaedriat order,
Monogynia; and was the true laurel of
the ancients, There is considerable
confusion, among persons ignorant of
botany, between this plant and what
we uow Commonly call laurel, namely,
the Prunus lauroeerasus; which is
only known to modern times.

DON'T
Don't tell your child the happiest days
he will ever know are his daps of
eteldhnod. Don't say than with mat
urity coulee cares, and work. and trnu-
hWee, and fears that make life a bur-
den, If your child cornea to you with
a trial that is great to him, but to
you in the light of your years and ex-
perience, in the merest trifle don't
say. "You are very foolish to be trou-
bled by so small a thing," but remem-
ber be bas but little reason to use,
and no experience to guide him, and
that for the time bis grief "clothes
him as a garment," and It is for you.
with your love apd sympathy, to rend
it, and bring him sunlight again. It
is a great wrong to believe the wild
fears, grotesque faneiee, and nameless
doubts which haunt the minde of
children are passing whims. So vivid
are these, they often come to use in
middle life or ole age, and cause us
an involuntary shudder. If a child's
troubles are usually small, the under-
etanding is smaller. The pitiful grav-
ity with which they attempt to settle
weighty questions which their elders
often give up as bopelets, demands
our most delicate sympathy. Every
stage of life has its peculiar trials, and
just as surely as its own joys, Let us
not then so rsekiesely risk our reuuta-
rion for wisdom as to point to chil-
dren and say, "Now, my dear child,
is your hey -day. Enjoy it to the full,
for the yeare that are passing on you
are full to tba brim of care and trial."
Say rather, "If the future has great
work and responsibilities, so has it
proportionate reward." The surest,
greatest, happiness of We should
come with the full development of
mind and heart.

"Ir You're Go, I'LL Go."
Say that to some friend when you
leave him Saturday night Of course
you will mean that you will go to
church Sunday if he will go too
That is a fine way to start off. If
you are undecided which church to
attend, select, the one ynur mother
used to go to. You can't go far
wrong. Any fellow's mother's re-
ligion ought to he good enough for
hfm, So next Sunday give up the
lazy hour in bed. Have your best
clothes ready. Put 'em on and start
out with your head up and your
shoulders back. You're doing one
of the best things you ever did in
your life and if you keep it up you
will never be sorry. And you'll be
surprised to SP() how good it feels to
be in church. And above all things,
if there is any congregational singing,
n in
g•
SING. Don't merely hold the book
and bluff at singing. Fill up your
lungs and let out the music. You'll
know it, all right, You may have
forgotten the words hut the tune,
never. Why, your mother used to
sing ill She will be a happy woman
when she knows her boy is in ehurob.

CHEERFULNESS.
In order to appear pleasant we mutt
be cheerful. This is a duty we owe to
others as well as ourselves. The
world is on the lookout for all that is
bright and gay, and, if we wish to be
appreciated in social life, we must
appear like a ray of sunlight, rather
than a oloud, no matter how beauti-
ful that cloud may be,
In life we meet with tnany unplea.
sant things that have a tendency to
make us sad and depressed, but, by
sweet smiles and loving words of kind-
ness, we may expel tnany horror;
and make ourselves and many others
around us feel bright and happy, in•
stead of gloomy and sad.
There is much sorrow lurking in the
pathway of every one, and in ocder to
avoid becoming despondent, we
must ever look on the bright side of
life,' far the happiest peop'e are
those who find plessure in all things,
We should cultivate cheetfulness.
tf at fleet in seems unnaturale it will
aftt r a short Hine, Leith's
e, lose its titicia
aspect, and seem entirely natural.
A cheerful countenance yields an
ir.flttentiat power in winning affection
end retain it after it has been won.
One may be ever so beautiful and at--
trective, and yet wholly incapable of
Calming the troubled heart, unless he
poasesses a cheerful dieposition.
