Like zephyrs Ger the flowers;

Or secret hidden bowers.
To soothe mans soul to peacs,

Description Of the Golenos Oak, pur-
chased by the late Thomas Harrison, ma
by years his Majesty's Purvsyor Of Plym-
outh Dock Yard and Dean Forest, and
felied and converted by him in the year
ISlO:-It grew about four miles from the
town of Newport in Monmouthshire--the
main trunk at 10 feet long, produced $50
cubic feet; one limb S55; one do At; one
Go 234; one do l5S; one do lis; and xix
other limbs of interior size measured So
feet each, making the whole number s.-
426 cubic feet Of sound and convertible
timber. The bark was estimated at six
tons, but as some Of the very heavy body
bark was stolen out Of the barge at New
port, the exact weight IS not known. Five
men were twenty days stripping and cut
ing down this tree, and pair of savers
were FIVE months converting il, without
losing day, Sundays excepted.) The
money paid Tor the converting only, inde-
pendent Of the expense of carriage. was
aei,; and the whole produce OF the tree
when brought to market was within a tribe
OF 6Oul, 1t was bought standing for 405l'
the main trunk was 81 feet in diameter,
and in saving it through, stone was dis
severed six feet from the ground. above
yard in the body of the tree, thso' which
the saw cut; Tue stone was about. SIX IN
ohes in diameter and completely shut in
but around which there was not the least
symptom of decay. The ring !, In its butt
were carefully reckoDed, and amounted
TO above 400 in number, convincing
proof that this tree was in an improving
state for upwards of 400 years; and as
the ends OF some OF ITS branches were de-
cayed and had dropt of, it is presumed it
had stood agreat number Of years after it
Asd attained maturity.
