The District School.

District school, not far away,
Mid Berkshire hills one Winters day.
Was humming with its wOnted noise
or three score mingled girls and boys
Some few upon their tasks intent,
But more on furtive mischief bent
The while the Masters downward look
Wss fastened on copy-boOk-
When suddenly, behind his back,
Rose sharp and clear rousng smack
As 'twere battery of bliss
Let of in one tremendous kiss
- What's that ?'' the startled Master cries
- That thur little imp replies,
- Wath William Willith, if you pleathe

With a frown to make statue thrill,
The Master thundered, 90 Hither Will!'
Like a wretch o'ertaken in his track,
With stolen chattels on his back,
Will hung his head in fear and shame,
And to the awful presence came
A great, green, bashful simpleton,
The butt of all good natured fun.
With smile suppressed and birch upraised,
The threatener faltered-sE Pm amazed
That you, my biggest pupil, should
Be guilty Of an act rude;
Before the whole school to boot

One might as wen throw his young trees into
the streets at first, as to set them out in tough
sWard' and let them so remain. Perhaps most
Of them will manage to live, but they cannot
thrive. PloW the land properly, manure it
well, keep the surface hoed clean of weeds
and grass for six feet around every tree, and
II VIII make more progress in one year, than
grass-bound tree would in three or four.
This is no mere speculation the expert
enee OF every year proves t. As the trees
become large, and the roots ramify, let the
PloW be gradually Withdrawn.
