In cakephp if you put into your tables the field created and modified (DATETIME), the mvc automatically insert the date of creation or when you modify it.

So when you retrieve your data you can do in this mode

$articals = $this->Artical->find('all', array(
  'limit' => 3,
  'order' => 'Artical.created DESC' )
));

or in your case if you an increment id you can do in this mode (but I suggest you to use created and insert it into your tables)

    $articals = $this->Artical->find('all', array(
          'limit' => 3, 
          'order' => 'Artical.ID DESC' )
        ));

If you have some problem to print data try to make a var_dump($articals);
After try to print out your content like this:

foreach ($articals as $artical) {
     echo '<p>'.$artical['Artical']['Content'].'</p>';
}
