GREAT AGES OF TREEs.-There is "a
glory IN trees" as they lift their tall
branches on high, giving shelter to the
merry squirrel or the singing bird in sum!
mer; or when forming Eolian Tyres In
winter as the winds sing in their leaAess
boughs. There are many trees which
have become sacred by the endearing as!
sociations Of family scenes. Generation
after generation connected with the old
homestead have sported beneath them in
infancy, and reclined in their shadow in
old age. That exquisite ballad, "Wood.
man, spare that tree !" is brimful of po-
etry, because it is full Of truth and vi.
brates on the tendrils of every heart.
Some trees attain to great age. In
recent lecture on geology by Mr.. Denton,
delivered in Montreal, G. E., and reported
in the Gazette Of that city, be said that
there was tree cut down in CaliEornia
90 feet in circumference. He had counted
on a block of it, shown in Wisconsin, IS
rings Of annual growth to an inch Here
then was tree 2,496 years old-a tree
that was a sapling when Nebuchsdnezzer
was boy that was nearly 200 years
old when Socrates was born. A yew at
Forthingall, in Scotland, was calculated
to be $500 years old, and one in Kent
5000. There was o tree in Senegal in
which an incision was made and the con.
centric rings counted, from which it was
calculated to be $3.50 years old l-Scien.

TaE Louisville Journal tells this coed
story, under the heading Mince Pies VI
Tracts"
We heard = good story yesterday rs.
lated by q German who was confined In
one Of the hospitals at Nashville, which
proves conclusively that sick soldiers ap.
prcciate food for the stomach more than
food for the mind.
A Rebel lady visited the hospital one
morning, with negro servant who car.
ried large basket on his arm, covered
with a white linen cloth. She approached
our German friend, and accosted him
thus:
care you q good Union manf"
~ iSh dat" was the laconic reply Of
the German, at the same time casting q
hopeful glance at the aforesaid basket.
"That is all want 20 know" replied
the lady, and. beckoning the negro to fol.
low, she passed to the opposite side Of the
room where Rebel soldier lay and asked
him the same question, to which he very
promptly replied:
"Not by . id sight"
The lady thereupon uncovered the
basket and laid out bottle of wine, mincO
pics. pound cake, and other delicacies,
which were greedily devoured in the
presence of the Union soldiers, who felt
somewhat indignant.
On the following morning, however,
another lady made her appearance with
a large covered basket; and she also Ac-
costcd our German friend, and desired 70
sf he rwao TInian 0naa
~ ish, by Got; no care what you
got; l bese Union"
The lady then set her basket on tho
table, and our German friend thought
that the truth availed in this case, II it
did fail in the other. But imagine the
length Of the poor fellows face when the
lady uncovered the basket and presented
him with about a bushel of tracts. He
shook his head dolefully and said:
~ no read English, and, peside, dat
rebel on to mother side of te house need
dem so more as me-"
The lady distributed them and left.
Not long after, came another richly
dressed lady, who propounded the same
question again to our German friend. He
stood gazing at the basket, apparently at
