THE FALLEN PINE. i Tho poets tell us of a period (It is al ways "a long Uuio ago ) when all tho animals conversed as well as sung, and when if wo bclicvo tho immortal legends every created thing had its exprosslvo tongue. Wo are told that even the very stones had language audible and eloquent. The Uiu Testament gives us more than one instance of the time when what we now call the inanimate spake in instructive tones. The story of tho trees who wanted a king to rule over them isamong tho most interesting. There ia another tradition which, while it does not lie in the author ity of tho Scriptures, luwecriptural fact aaits basis. Who is there that has not hoard tho.legend of the Aspen, which received tho curso of a perpetual palsy because of its refusal to bow its head in sorrow on tho doleful dav of the cruci lixion, when all naturo was In mourning? Mho story of the Aspen Is tho story of Pi$de. Let mo tell you another the leeond of tho Fallen Pine. This, how ever, cannot claim a birth coeval with creation or tho crucifixion, for tho in press of modern thought is seen in the coinage of tho tale. Havo vou over traveled over nmonc th5 Sierras, and havo you ever listened to tho croonings of tho old priestesses and nSns there? lit will bo a long time before the last vestiges ot uio early spanisn ecciesiastl cism is gone from tliose regions in our far west, whero its missionaries half wasted heroic lives, especially in tho sun set lands of tho Now "World. But I am not sure that what I am about to relate comes from tho pious exile' from the mother country. But where did the "good mother" who related it to me re ceive it? ; Listen to tho legend, though if you have traveled in tho Sierras jou may havo heard tho story there: . There is, by a wayside, a great fallen pine. Youseo in the elopes of the Sierras many of its cpmpanions pines (not! red wood) with a girth of more than thirty fee1. atyour height abovo their base. At the foot of this prostrate monarch, its near companion of centuries ago, there still stands a mighty oak, tossing its brawny, mossy arms to the sky. It stands a vigil, perhaps now neither sorrowing nor exulting. If you ontcr tho little cabin near by tho "good mother," though it may bo that she has never been a real mother at all, earning her tltlo by deeds of devotion, heroism and sacrifice, and wo might therefore say that tho "ancient maiden" thero will tell you: not like the story monger at Waterloo who rehearses for a sou the ailair there to the great historian of "Les Miserable3," but will recount to you the long, long quarrel betwixt tho pine and tho oak. As you may never travel there, or pwhaps the old croon is thero no moro, for it has been years shico I was there, I will there' foro tell you the story ns It came to me: It was many and many years ago that tho pino and the oak sprang up there. cido by side. They grew together lov ingly and happily until they had passed tho period of their "teens," as the world expresses it. At length, and when, in the language of the modern pen, they began to hear tho gossip of tho world when they heard of "society," when tlioy Heard of tho jealousies among neighboring beauties, and tho contrast ing of tho virtues of troes, then was that troubles began, Tho winds that came from far off seas (for it is a stormy country thero) tossed their branches to gether, and the "family jars" may be said to havo then commenced in earnest. Tho harsh wood of the oak rubbed against tho tender pine, and white blood ran from the open veins. "You are be coming too familiar over there!" It was tho pine that spoko thus, whilo tho oak replied "Poohl your smell is disagreeable, and that vile blood of yours has defiled my fingers!" "You aro a cross vixen; don't scratch me so," tho plno now complained The clouds wept and with their tears washed tho wounds of the pino. But they could not blot out the memory of the ugly words spoken. Every time tho winds came, and they camo frequently, for it is, as l havo said a stormy country thoro every time tho winds came tho wrangles were renewed, and tho bitter and reproachful complain' inc words would come neain. The pine called tho oak an obstinate and cruel neighbor, vowing ho would no longer livo by his side. Hear his re6olu tion: "I am going toleavo you; I shall grow far away from you;" and forth with the plno turned his head away in disdainful prldo. He grew away from the oak. He grow rapidly far more bo than his neigh bor and was soon high up in the sky, his branches leaning far and anxiously to tho morning light. Ho wafted back, it Is Bald, this farewell to tho oak: "Good' by, Scrub) You can scratch my face no morel" From this time on it was a warot word i only, for tho branches of the pino grow further and .further away, Tho pino boasted of his virtues, and of tho oak's inferiority. Again there was 'Good-by, Scrub!" Tho oak was piqued and wounded te the core, llo shouted up to tho pine; ! "I don't care what you say about mel l imow i am prized abovo sou for my noblo qualities of strength and toughness ana weignt." "You boastof your virtues, you clumsy thingl" retorted the pine, "You say you are useful, while I am not only useful out i am ornamental a joy in the world, 1 am light of weight: am easily wrought. I travel over all tho earth; am found in every place and in every mansion under Use van. woeeiaUr whr them Is trr that delights the eye or tho heart of childhood." Yes," quickly responded tho oak. "but I make tho vessels that bear you in your journeys over tho sea." "Bahl"said tho pino, "you lie hidden away under tho waters whilo I ride high abovo you in tho heavens. You are a very 'beast of burden,' and without mo thero would bo no mast, no spar. Fur thermore, as I am abovo tho waters, with my eyes I see all tho gay fashions of the world!" 'Fashions forsooth!" said tho oak. "I know tho fashions, for I wear them three times a year, while you, like a poor prude, havo tho snmo unvarying dress tho wholo year round that old fashioned frock which you cannot changer This remark stung tho pino to the very heart. Thero is no one who likes to have hla or her garments criticised "mada fun of," so to speak. The pine flung back this in reply: "You are a booby; you aro a fickle. fadey thing; your colors soon change." "Uh, yes," said tho oak. "I know I change my livery; I get a new garmont ever) year, fresh and beautiful, from the great milliner, Naturo; and even if my old clothing does fade, tho world says that hi the sober seasons of tho year my garb b lovely and becoming." And the pino continued to rrow further and f urtlior away with its branches. Ino oak stood leafless and trembling: in the winter's cold, whilo the gay neighbor waa rojoicing in its evergreen splendor, as it saw tho many scions of its family around the varied mansions of earth ornaments of a fadeless type. ihe oak cast his eye downward and beheld the rich wealth at his feet. "Whom do you feed?" he cried, as he saw tho great harvest of acorns scattered around, and upon which the beasts oi tho field and fowls of the air wore feast ing and fattening. "I feed the sick!" replied tho nine with a sigh. "Not only this, but the vory ships which you boast of making, all re ceive a coating that comes from mo." Then the oak said: "If you do feed tho sick, I warm ond comfort the poor, tho peasant and tho prince alike." " Yes, and I embellish the world oven with so poor a thing as the moke that I send away," impatiently retorted the pine. And so they continued tp boast and to quarrel as the years ran on. I need not tell you all that the good mothor re counted to me of the long, long troubles between those neighbors. But tho pine grew further and further away, its branches gathering weight with every summer sun. Again the storms camo for i have told you it was a stormy coun try there nmong tho Sierras and the autumn's rain had pelted tho earth and the forest with long and steadfast fury, "Boo how l defy even the blasts of winter!" exultantly cried out the pine: the winds that rushed through his branches were heard only In sighs and moans. The oak, with his shorn limbs, stood trembling, while the fierce tempest came; its fury passed by, and tho oak waved in obeisance. But the proud pine, with heavy mantle and crown high in tho heaven?, his hold on the earth weakened by tho softening winter rains, and leaning far away from the lino of rectitude in his efforts to avoid tho oak. But I need not tell tho etory further for o! tho pine is fallen! And the good mother will tell you, as tho moral of her song, that tho story of tho pine is also the story of pride. M. V. Mooro in Atlanta American. Verbal Slips, The verbal slips that a preacher or lec turer inadvertently makes are often re membered long after every thought in his address has been forgotten. They are often laughably funny. A lecturer said: "I must beg you to glvo me your undivided attention; in deed, it is absolutely impossible that you could form a true idea of the hideous animal of which we are about to-speak unless you keep your eyes on me." A. certain preacher, discoursing upon Bunyan and his works, caused a titter among his hearers by exclaiming: "In these days, my brethren, we want more Bunyans." Another clergyman, pleading earnestly with his parishioners for tho construction of a cemetery for their parish, naked them to consider the "deplorable condi tion of 80,000 Christian Englishmen liv. ing without Christian burial." Still more curious was another olerioal slip. A gentleman said to a minister "When do you expect to see Deacon S. again?" "Never," said tho reverend gen- t Ionian, solemnly; "the deacon is in heaven." Behoboth Herald, Origin of the Dos. The question of tho origin of the dog has recently been discussed by Professor Nehring, who believes that it has de scended from various still surviving species of wolves and jackals. Tho latter animals can bo tamed, and many at tempts to domesticate wolves have been successfully made in modern times. Herr Kongo has so completely tamed o-young wolf that it follows him exactly as a dog might uo. frame Leslie s Newspaper.
