would prepare complete road Tor every
travelled rod Of New Hampshire, if not IN
New England--and adorn il, both sides,
with shady trees. Ii is squandered on coun-
tertei patriotism. One young Button Wood !
in the Northeast corner of State House
Yard, is, in our eye, worth more than the
laws of all June session. Il is a most |
beautiful tree-a model of its species !
Safe Street, in rear of this concern, is
well planted with shades, almost its entire
length; but they are small yet. There
are several clusters of charming young
Button Wood, particularly about the
houses where George Hough and Jacob
B. Moore formerly lived once Printers
and Editors in Concord, I
Passing down Main Street from the
State House, you fad one wing of Leach's
buildings fronted with four princeIy
Elms the group adopting the form, at
top of q single tree of giant size. Far
Their on, another co, partnership of EIms-
three in numbef-of towering height, and
great amplitude of understanding finely
as you come down {" Hopkinton Road,"-
and nearly opposite that great homely edi-
fee called he "Soulh Church." This
| l..
askew at the corner OF two streets; all
shadeess and naked in extreme architec-
tura deformity, and as ugl y as Jugger-
naut. 1t is mounted up On one story of
the same materials as compose the State
! Prison 1t is dedicated, however, and
has become an object Of worship. About
the last we knew of tit was refused by
Thomas Chadbourne and others, to Tenn
perance and Anti-slavery Conventions, IL
September 1910. Stepping up Hopkin-
ton Road, to the fine seat Of late w. A.
Kent, you come under an old stag horned
Elm, that spreads ont its anters as broadly
almost as Liberty Tree on Boston. Com
mon,-with sundry fine junior Elms in its
neighborhood. Casting the eye upto the
corner Of Green aud Pleasant Streets, il
lights upon the handsomest Button w God
in all the region,-a real gem Of tree
A corps of youthful NIapIes,-as you turn
down Main Street again--grow before the
former dwelling of Our late lelow,towns-
/ man and anti-savery friend VIM. GauIt.
t Their tops are as round, thick aud com
pact as so many cabbage heads. We
, pass without notice now, the King Row
] ofEIms in Concord and in New England
f TO go down and take view about the
f famous old Count Rumford Seat, aud a
few clever Fins at the Concord anding
d The Rumford House, though it has MOI
4 the finest Ems, is most lastly shaded O.
S any habitation in the towE-and has a
e noble old Oak among the trees in its
|. small park. This house has considerable
: cfa history. Returning upto Main Stree
e you pass the tasteful mansion Of Theodore
e French--and admire the matchIess shay
: bark Walnut on the green slope behind
it, and the fine grove of Oaks on The hill
side that borders his beautiful field. This
is far the 7leasan,est place in Concord
S 10 our taste. We have passed it hun
: bred titnes--and never once, to our recol
! lection, without admiration of that peer
: less Shag. bark, which towers up like a
good sized Button. Wood and in shape
: dimensions, and rich foliage ard position
E exceeds almost any tree we ever behe!d
We ought to thank the early settlers OIL
Concord for planting, or sparing, SO many
trees. We honor too, The taste o(the pres.
: ent Inhabitants, in this behalf They
seem not only to aPpreciate he old shades
that have come down to them from other
times, but are prompt to plant trees them
selves.-Aud the soil is as favorable TO
trees, as the people. They flourish in
every part Of the town. And all classes
of the peopIe--the most uolikely, one
, would imagine, 10 have such a taste, seem
TO fancy these beautiful ornaments, The
:, very party editors st ont trees. Oae
whole street owes lis branching and leafy
honors, ii is said. mainly tn ona ~ hon,
the pretty liale Centre Street. !, ought
to bear his nane.-And we would resnect-
