The chief topic of discussion appears to be the
Danish and Schleswg Holstein war. 1t seems to be
the opinion that Denmark will succeed in reducing
the Dutchies to their allegiance should no other
powers interfere. The people of Germany are quite
excited upon the subject. In this matter Denmark
is clearly in the right, far international rea
tons concerned The Dutchies have been annex

TREEs.--Nature has given us trees
in vast nurseries. II is for us to take
them up and put them where we choose,
to beautify the landscape, and to contr-
butte to the comfort and health of man.
In this matter Of planting trees there
10 more than the mere cultivation of the
taste. The silent or audible benedic-
tions that go up from weary travellers
when they come on hot summers day
TO a spot where tall and branching trees
cast a cool and grateful shade upon
their path, speak a kindlier praise for
an act Of benevolence than words here
can do. Trees, for shade, contribute not
alone to simple animal comfort they are
life-preserving, health-giving in their
influences. Let then the dweller in the
town plant trees. Let him who is at
home in the quiet country village, make
that village more lovely by vigorous
and graceful trees. Let the cultivator
Of the retired farm make it beautiful, and
access to itplcasant, by groups Of trees
upon his land, and rows Of trees by the
waysidc. Let every one plant a tree.
