The Charter Oak.-A friend has pre-

Oak. History has conferred upon III;
tree renown co extensive with the glob,
Inanimae objects, when made the nsirt
ments of heroic virtue or patriotism, az
quire an interest in the eyes of mankin
which time cannot efface. And among a
the objects in our country that have bee
sanctifed by great deeds, none are NOR
likely to be preserved in undying remem
brance than the Charter Oak at Hartford
Its trunk received the written guaranty {
the liberties of a free people. and preser'
ed i, safe from the laNless grasp Of ,yral
ny; and the veneration of the descendant
of that people preserves the memory
the important event.
Generations have arisen and passe
away since the Charter was sheltered b
The Oak. But that tree still stands s
lent witness Of nations struggles and
nations glory. What scenes of savas
and civilized life have come and gor
while that ancient oak has waved i
spreading branches ever the soil!
"Wise with the lore of centuries,
What tales il there be tongues in trees,
That giant Oak might tell,
OF beings born and buried here,
Tia les Of the peasant and the peer,
The welcome and farewell. Koch. Am
