Rynskald Juvenile Green Dragon Though he loathes all kinds of sprites and mercilessly hunts those who still dare to dwell in his forest, Rynskald has learned to use some of their tricks against them. He is fond of using illusion cantrips to distract and disorient his foes, and laughs harshly every time a sprite-who should know better-falls for one of his tricks. Of course, he usually stops laughing as soon as he gets the creature in his mouth, but he has been known to chuckle even while swallowing.

Klorphaxius Young Adult Green Dragon Certain groups of elves have been known to build entire cities in trees, supporting their graceful buildings on platforms among the branches so they seem almost a living part of the tree. Her lair is in the largest tree, where she has taken over the palace of the elven princeling who once ruled the city. The palace required some retrofitting to accommodate her Large form, but the sundered interior walls and scattered rubble suit her temperament perfectly, serving as a daily reminder of just how terrible she is.

Kallionastiryne Adult Green Dragon Kallionastiryne regards every inch of the forest where he dwells as his domain, and he likewise regards anyone who sets foot inside without leave as a trespasser and vandal. His uncompromising defense of his forest has won him the grudging admiration of a few druids; however, Kallionastiryne often grants orcs, giants, or other evil creatures hunting and logging rights, demanding hefty bribes of gold and gems and plenty of flattery as well. Kallionastiryne is not so much worried about the welfare of his forest as he is about being recognized as its owner. Because he regards these deals as little more than temporary agreements with inferior creatures, they seldom last long.

Othocintlydavarei Old Green Dragon Though he is certainly an unlikely ally for good-aligned player characters, Othocintlydavarei has a problem they might be able to help him with. A group of evil druids has taken up residence in his territory, and they have so far resisted his attempts to encourage them to relocate. He wants to see the meddlers gone, and certainly, the human loggers would rather pay tribute to a dragon than suffer the raids of evil druids and their animal allies. He ventures out when bored and seeks weak or gullible creatures with whom to play some of his strange games. One of his favorite activities is to lure less powerful creatures, especially adventurers, to his lair. After making them give up a large percentage of their magical equipment, he offers it back if they perform some small service for him. Then, he sends them out to run an arbitrary errand, such as killing a chimera, tanning its hide, and bringing him the skin for a rug. When the adventurers return, he is dissatisfied with the result, stating that he had wanted a larger or smaller rug or one that was a different color. He gives the adventurers back the rug and perhaps a single item from their equipment, and then sends them off again on a different, difficult, but equally meaningless task. After two or three such exchanges, either the creatures refuse to continue or Giixhosiptor has grown bored and he decides to eat the creatures with whom he has been playing.

Sometimes a dorsoflexed uterus, occasionally with uninucleated eggs, and a rhabditiform esophagus with 2-1. Lymph node, horse: Nematode parasites, upon serendipitous section, possess a characteristic rhabditiform esophagus with a corpus (yellow arrow), isthmus (black arrow), and bulb (red arrow) characteristic of Halicephalobus gingivalis. Multifocally, smaller forms of the parasites with rhabditiform esophagus and internal granular structures can be found (larvae). Parasites are multifocally surrounded by areas of lytic necrosis characterized by replacement of tissue with nuclear and cellular debris. Intralesional vessels are dilated (hyperemia) and in one location parasites, surrounded by inflammatory cells, are found within a medium sized artery. At the margins of the granuloma are moderate numbers of macrophages containing a yellow-brown globular pigment (hemosiderin).

In the kidneys, the parasite causes multifocal to coalescing granulomas containing numerous larval and adult rhabditiform nematodes and occasional embryonated eggs. They possess a platymyarianmeromyarian musculature, a pseudocoelom and a rhabditiform esophagus composed of a corpus, isthmus and bulb. The intestinal tract is lined by uninucleate, low cuboidal cells and a single genital tube/uterus containing one egg/ova. Oral ingestion, inhalation or wound infections with nematode stages are suggested. Parasitic lesions in tissues other than kidney and lymph node were not detectable in our case.

Hence it will perhaps be safest to look at the entire absence of the anterior tarsi in Ateuchus, and their rudimentary 115 condition in some other genera, not as cases of inherited mutilations, but as due to the effects of long-continued disuse; for as many dung-feeding beetles are generally found with their tarsi lost, this must happen early in life; therefore the tarsi cannot be of much importance or be much used by these insects. In some cases we might easily put down to disuse modifications of structure which are wholly, or mainly, due to natural selection. Wollaston has discovered the remarkable fact that 200 beetles, out of the 550 species (but more are now known) inhabiting Madeira, are so far deficient in wings that they cannot fly; and that, of the twenty-nine endemic genera, no less than twenty-three have all their species in this condition! Several facts, namely, that beetles in many parts of the world are frequently blown to sea and perish; that the beetles in Madeira, as observed by Mr. Wollaston, lie much concealed, until the wind lulls and the sun shines; that the proportion of wingless beetles is larger on the exposed Desertas than in Madeira itself; and especially the extraordinary fact, so strongly insisted on by Mr. Wollaston, that certain large groups of beetles, elsewhere excessively numerous, which absolutely require the use of their wings, are here almost entirely absent;- these several considerations make me believe that the wingless condition of so many Madeira beetles is mainly due to the action of natural selection, combined probably with disuse. For during many successive generations each individual beetle which flew least, either from its wings having been ever so little less perfectly developed or from indolent habit, will have had the best chance of surviving from not being blown out to sea; and, on the other hand, those beetles which most readily took to flight would oftenest have been blown to sea, and thus destroyed. The insects in Madeira which are not ground-feeders, and which, as certain flower-feeding coleoptera and lepidoptera, must habitually use their wings to gain their subsistence, have, as Mr. For when a new insect first arrived on the island, the tendency of natural selection to enlarge or to reduce the wings, would depend on whether a greater number of individuals were saved by successfully battling with the winds, or by giving up the attempt and rarely or never flying. As with mariners shipwrecked near a coast, it would have been better for the good 116 swimmers if they had been able to swim still further, whereas it would have been better for the bad swimmers if they had not been able to swim at all and had stuck to the wreck. The eyes of moles and of some burrowing rodents are rudimentary in size, and in some cases are quite covered by skin and fur. This state of the eyes is probably due to gradual reduction from disuse, but aided perhaps by natural selection. In South America, a burrowing rodent, the tucotuco, or Ctenomys, is even more subterranean in its habits than the mole; and I was assured by a Spaniard, who had often caught them, that they were frequently blind. One which I kept alive was certainly in this condition, the cause, as appeared on dissection, having been inflammation of the nictitating membrane. As frequent inflammation of the eyes must be injurious to any animal, and as eyes are certainly not necessary to animals having subterranean habits, a reduction in their size, with the adhesion of the eyelids and growth of fur over them, might in such case be an advantage; and if so, natural selection would aid the effects of disuse. It is well known that several animals, belonging to the most different classes, which inhabit the caves of Carniola and of Kentucky, are blind. As it is difficult to imagine that eyes, though useless, could be in any way injurious to animals living in darkness, their loss may be attributed to disuse. In one of the blind animals, namely, the cave-rat (Noetoma), two of which were captured by Professor Silliman at above half a mile distance from the mouth of the cave, and therefore not in the profoundest depths, the eyes were lustrous and of large size; and these animals, as I am informed by Professor Silliman, after having been exposed for about a month to a graduated light, acquired a dim perception of objects. It is difficult to imagine conditions of life more similar than deep limestone caverns under a nearly similar climate; so that, in accordance with the old view of the blind animals having been separately created for the American and European caverns, very close similarity in their organisation and affinities might have been expected. This is certainly not the case if we look at the two whole faunas; and with respect to the 117 insects alone, Schiodte has remarked, "We are accordingly prevented from considering the entire phenomenon in any other light than something purely local, and the similarity which is exhibited in a few forms between the Mammoth cave (in Kentucky) and the caves in Carniola, otherwise than as a very plain expression of that analogy which subsists generally between the fauna of Europe and of North America. We have some evidence of this gradation of habit; for, as Schiodte remarks, "We accordingly look upon the subterranean faunas as small ramifications which have penetrated into the earth from the geographically limited faunas of the adjacent tracts, and which, as they extended themselves into darkness, have been accommodated to surrounding circumstances. Animals not far remote from ordinary forms, prepare the transition from light to darkness. Next follow those that are constructed for twilight; and, last of all, those destined for total darkness, and whose formation is quite peculiar. By the time that an animal had reached, after numberless generations, the deepest recesses, disuse will on this view have more or less perfectly obliterated its eyes, and natural selection will often have effected other changes, such as an increase in the length of the antennae or palpi, as a compensation for blindness. Notwithstanding such modifications, we might expect still to see in the cave-animals of America, affinities to the other inhabitants of that continent, and in those of Europe to the inhabitants of the European continent. And this is the case with some of the American cave-animals, as I hear from Professor Dana; and some, of the European cave insects are very closely allied to those of the surrounding country. It would be difficult to give any rational explanation of the affinities of the blind cave-animals to the other inhabitants of the two continents on the ordinary view of their independent creation. That several of the inhabitants of the caves of the Old and New Worlds should be closely related, we might expect from the well-known relationship of most of their other productions.

Thereisa taletoldofanother,whohadmanypainsinhisdeath,andespeciallythe great pain of a disturbed conscience. The story of the negro and his master well illustrates the need of beginningatthebeginninginheavenlythings,andnotmeddlingwiththe deeper points of our holy religion till we have learned its elements thoroughly. A poor negro was labouring hard to bring his master to a knowledge of the truth, and was urging him to exercise faith in Christ, whenheexcusedhimselfbecausehecouldnotunderstandthedoctrineof election.

Ihavegivenyousufficienttoshowthattheydomake our preaching vivid and life-like; therefore, the more you have of them, the better. At the same time, gentlemen, I must warn you against the danger of having too many anecdotes in any one sermon. Thirdly, anecdotes and illustrations may be used to explain either doctrinesordutiestodullunderstandings. A preacher should instance, and illustrate, and exemplifyhissubject,sothathishearersmayhaverealacquaintancewith the matter he is bringing before them. If a man attempted to give me a description of a piece of machinery, he would possibly fail to make me comprehend what it was like; but if he will have the goodness to let me see a drawing of the various sections, and then of the whole machine, I will,somehoworother,byhookorbycrook,makeouthowitworks. For instance, take this anecdote as illustrating the text, "Thou, when thou prayest,enterintothycloset,andwhenthouhastshutthydoor,prayto thyFatherwhichisinsecret. Themeaningisnotsomuchtheliteral entrance into a closet, or the shutting of the door, as the getting away from earthly sources of distraction, pulling up the ladder after us, and keepingoutanythingthatmightcomeintohinderoursecretdevotions. I wish we could always pull the ladder up after us when we retire for privateprayer;butmanythingstrytoclimbthatladder. Thedevilhimself will come up to disturb us if he can; and he can get into the hay-loft withoutanyladder.

Thereisanotherstory which also goes to show that the gospel may be useful even to hearers whoforgetwhattheyhaveheard. What finer exposition of the text "Weep with them that weep," can you have than this pretty anecdote He says that you may take a small insect, and with the tiniest needlemakeapunctureinitsominutethatyoucanscarcelyseeitwith thenakedeye;butwhenyoulookatitthroughamicroscope,youseean enormous rent, Out of which there flows a purple stream, making the creature seem to you as though it had been smitten with the axe that killeth an ox.

Manypreachersfindthegreatestdifficultyingettingsuitablemetaphors to set forth simple faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. There is a capital anecdoteofanidiot,Whowasaskedbytheminister,whowastryingto instruct him, whether he had a soul. Fourthly, there is a kind of reasoning in anecdotes and illustrations, which is very clear to illogical minds; and many of our hearers, unfortunately, have such minds, yet they can understand illustrative instancesandstubbornfacts.
