When Xenres Fell in Love With a Tree

Plutarch tells a remarkable story about a famous soldier's infatuation for a tree. He says that the great Xerxes haltcd his army of seventeen hundred thousand soldiers to admire a Plane tree. Hc 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 ofr 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, thcir 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 worhip 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 wtrich he ever after wore.tt

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 lilacs 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.

-Nancy Shores

OId Agre Ripens

Theodore Parker \f,rote: "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 him, and he broke, perhaps, that law; now he thinks thereof with grief at the wrong he made others suffer, though he clasps his hands and thanks God for the lesson he has learned even from hic 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: lRejoice, O young men, iir 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, tove God and keep His commandments, for this is thc whole duty of man.tt
