Reproduction and dispersal are the
tw o great aims in the life of every plant
and animal. A ll else is but the mean«,
the mere eoutrivauoes, to gain the best
advantage in tlie accomplishment of
those ultim ate efforts. Every species,
every individual, exists by virtue of
having striven to attain these cuds. In
the structure of each one is tbe record
of tbe attainment, partial or complete,
as the case may bo, and each man and
woman of us is toiling iu his or her
way toward the same goal, unconscious
of that something w ith iu ns, greater
than ourselves, that “ guides ns, blind­
fold hut safe, from one age on to an­
other. ”
The burs and "stickers” that cling so
persistently to our clothes uro tint a part
of the some great effort. I t is the only
way sweet cicely, dusmodium, tho bar
marigold end theis kin have of travel­
ing through tho woods, aud so on from
forest to forest, from swamp tangle to
swamp tangle. They live their lives as
tru ly as a man lives his, w ith equally
as good a purposo that is equally us w ell
attained. Each embodies those essential
qualities of living that the Great Teach­
er discerned when be bademen “ consid­
er the lilies of the field. " — Professor a
Trotter in Popular Scienco Monthly.
