that the tree was known and cultivated in that country before the chancellor was bom. The Platamu Orim- talis, or plane of Palestine and of classical antiquity, must not be oonfbunded with the plane-tree common- ly so called in Scotland and England. This last is a maple, Acer pseudo-pkUanus, and, like the rest of its saccharine family, it contains a sweet sap in the libur- num or under baric, for the sake of which it is often tap- ped by school-boys in spring. Even by thoee least fa- miliar with plants, the ISslse plane or sycamore may

readily be distrngaished from the plane, Oriental and Occidental, by its seeds. In the former they are ibeyj, or twin carpels, flattened into wing-like discs ; in the lat- ter they are globolar caskets or catkins— balls more or less rongh, which hang on the branches throughout the winter in graceftil strings or tassels, suggesting the name of bulton-wood, by which the P.

CheveruB, Jeah Louis, a cardinal of the Roman Church, was bom at Mayenne, France, Jan. 28, 1768, of • noble family, and was set apart for the Church, being made prior of Torbechet at tliirteen years of age. He received his classical education at the college of Louis-Ie-Grand, and his theological at the seminary of Si. Magloire. He was ordained priest in 1790, and soon after became vicar of Mayenne. During the later troubles of the Revolution he took refuge in Eng- land, exercised his ministry for a while in London, and then sailed for Boston, Mass., where he passed many years of successful labor in organising and spreading the Roman Church. In 1808 he was made bishop, and continued his labors until 1828, when, on account of failing health, he returned to France as bishop of Mon- tauban. In 1826 he was made archbishop of Bordeaux and peer of France. His labors among all daases, rich and poor, in hospitals and prisons, were incessant, during all his service in the highest ecclesiastical posts. In 1886 he was made cardinal, and he died of apoplexy July 19 of that year. Few clergymen of the Roman Church have been more highly and deservedly esteem- ed by Protestants than cardinal Cheverus. — ^Hoefer, Nouv, Biog, GSnercUe, x, 270 ; Christian Examiner^ xxvi, 88 ; Huen-Dubourg, Vie de Chevertu (EngL tr.

Cheynell, Francis, an English Nonconfonqist, was bora at Oxford in 1608, and was educated at the University there. He was elected fellow of Merton College in 1629, and took orders ; but in 1640 he em- braced the side of Parliament, and in 1648 was one of the assembly of divines and rector of Petworth. In 1647 he was made Margaret profiessor of divinity at Ox- ford, on leaving which he retumed to his rectory at Petworth. At the Restoration (1662) he was deprived of his rectory, and retired to Preston, Sussex, where he died in 1665. He was a strong, if not bitter contro- vertist, and published, in 1648, The Hue, Growth^ and Danger of Sodtiiamtm^ in which archbishop Laud, Hales of Eton, Chillingworth, and other eminent di- vines are strongly charged with Socinianism . In 1644, after Cbillingworth's death, Cheynell published ChU- Ungworihi Novitsima, or (he Sickness^ Heregy^ DeeOh, and Burial of William ChiUingworth, with a severe, if not abusive dedication to Drs. Bayly, Prideaux, Fell, etc., who had given their imprimatur to Cbillingworth's Re" ligion of Protestanis. After the dedication follows the narration itself, in which Cheynell relates how he be- came acquainted with " this man of reason," as he calls Chillingworth ; what care he took of him, and how, as
his illnees increased, ** they remembered him in tfadr prayers, and prayed heartily that God would give hSm^ new light and new eyes, that he might see, and ac- knowledge, and recant his error; that he might deay his carnal reason and submit to fruth." — New Gea.
