Mysteries of a seed.
Have you ever ooimldcred how won.
dcrful a tiling tlie seed of a plant IsY It
l is the miracle of in I melon. -Clod paid
J" Let there lie plants jleldliiR eced,"
' and It Is further nddod, each one " after
;nn Hiiiu.
The great naturalist, Cuvler, thought
that the gerniB of all past,, present, and
future generations of seeds were con
tained one within the other, as If pack
ed la a succession of boxes, Other
learned men have explained this
' mystery In a different way. Hut what
signify all their explanations t Let them
explain It as they will, the wonder re
mains the same, and we must Btill look
upon the reproduction of the seed us a
continual miracle.
Is there upon earth a machine, la
there a palace, Is there even a city,
which contains so much thatts wonder
ful as le inclosed in a single seed one
grain of corn, one little brown apple-
seed, one small seed of a tree picked
up, perhaps by a bird for her little ones
the smallest seed a poppy or a bluebell,
or even one of the seeds that float about,
in the air invisible to our eyes I There
Is a world of marvels and brilliant beau
ties hidden in each of these tiny seeds.
Consider their immense number, the
perfect separation of the different kinds,
their power of life and resurrection and
their wonderful frultfulnessl
Consider, first, their number. About
a hundred and fifty years ago, the cele
brated LImbus, the father of Botany,"
reckoned about 8,000 different kinds of
plants ; and he then thought that the
whole number existing could not much
exceed 10;000. But, a hundred years af
ter him, M. de Candolle, of Geneva, des
cribed 40,000 kinds of plants ; and at a
later period he counted G0;000, then R0,
'000, and he supposed it possible that the
number might even amount to 100,000
Well, let us ask, have these 100,000
kindB of plants ever failed to bear the
right seed V Have they ever deceived
us V Has a seed of wheat ever yielded
barley, or the seed of a poppy grown up
Into a sunflower y Has a sycamore tree
ever sprung from an acorn, or a beech
tree from a chestnut V A little bird may
carry away the small seed of a sycamore
in its beak to feed its nestlings, and, on
the way, may drop it io the ground.
The tiny seed may spring up and grow
Whereit fell unnoticed, and in slxtv
years-it may become a magnificent tree,
under the shade of which the flocks of
the vallevs and their uliptilipnla mnv
rest.
-rCjpnsider m-xt the wonderful power of
11 life and resurrection 'bestowed on the
,J dvvuo v -'.uin, nut, 1 1 1 V J III a J un fi C-
served from year to year, and even from
cen tu ry to een tu ry.
Let a child put a few seeds In a draw-
Sr, and shut them up, and sixty years
affoit&rotr1a .vxrlmti V I tint tu I fn ni1
his step tottering, let him take one of
these seeds and sow it in the ground,
Land, goon after foe will see it spring up
into new 'life, and become a young,
fresh, and beautiful plant.
M. Jouannet relates that in the year
S8S5 everal old Celtic tombs were dis
covered .near Jiergoric. Under the head
of ach of .the dead bodies there was
found a small $uare stone or brick,
with a hole in it, containing a few seeds,
"which had been jDlauted there beside the
dead by the heathen friends who had
fiiwlest them , joerhtyis 1 ,500 or 1 ,700 years
lefore. These seeds were carefully sow
d by those who found them and what,
think you, was seen .to spring up from
jhis dust of the dead beautiful sun
j'.owere, blue cornflowers, and clover,
l earlng Wossoma as bright and sweet as
those .weyen into wneaths by merry
lareu playing in the fields.
f&ome years 0450 a vase, hermetically
teiltd, was found In a muixuny pit in
5'pt, by Wilkinson, who sent it to
utjii'tfiao Museum. The llbrarlaa
