PLANTING FORESTS. The Commissioners
of the General Land Office has written long
letter on the subject of planting forests on the
Western praries. He takes strong ground in
favor OF such course, but it is not yet pre-
pared to recommend any system of general
legislation. He makes three suggestions, how
ever, which are as follows: First, that the
Homestead act be s, amended as to oblige set
tiers to plant trees; second that government
surveyors be required to plant seeds of trees
at each established corner; third, that small
grants of land may be made for the purpose
of demonstrating the possibility and feasibili-
~ of growing forests upon the plains,

Writing for Periodicals.

Lord Lyndhurst once said, at public din
ner, with reference to the numberless marvels
of the press, that it might seem a very easy
thing to write leading article, but that he
would recommend any one with strong con-
victions on that point, only to try. We con-
fidently appeal to the experience of the lead
ing journals of Great Britain, from the quar-
terry reviews to the daily journals, convinced
that they will all tell the same unvarying tale
of the utter incompetency OF thousands of
very clever people to write articles, review
books, &c. They will all have the same ex-
periences to relate o. the marvellous failures
of men of genius and learning-the crude,
cumbrous state in which they have sent their
so-calied articles for publication-the labor it
has taken to mould their fine thoughts and
valuable erudition into comedy shape-the ut
ter impossibility Of doing it at all.
AS Mr.. Carlyle has written of the needle
women of England, it was the saddest thing
of all, that there should be seamstresses few
or none, but "botchers" in such abundance,
capable only of "a distracted pickering and
botching-not sewlng-only Ialacious hope
of tia fond imagining OF the mind !" so of
literary labor is it the saddest thing OF all, that
there should be SO many botchers in the world,
and so few skilled article-writers, so little ar
ticle- writing, and so much distracted pucker-
ing and botching."

when once we know how to do it, as there is
nothing in balancing ladder on ones chin,
or jumping through hoop, or swallowing a
sword. All we say is, if people think it easy,
let them try, and abide by the result. The
amateur articles of very clever men are gen
orally what an amateur effort at coat-making
would be.
1t may seem very easy thing to make
coat, but very expert craftsmen-craftsme
that can produce more difficult and elaborate
pieces OF Workmanship, fail utterly when they
come to coat. The only reason why they
cannot make coat is, they are not tailors.
Now there are very able and learned men
who can compass greater efforts of human
Satellect than the production of newspaper
article, but who cannot write for newspaper
at all because they are not newspaper writers
or criticlse book with decent effect, because
they are not critics. Artcle-writers come "by
1T not chance" The efforts of chance writers
if they be men of genius and learning, are
things to break ones heart over.-Nortl

Old Times and Old Places.
look in vain for old-time places
That in my boybood wood my wandering feet;
MY searching eyes can find no signs or traces
OF well-known objects they were wont to meet,
And rarely now the old familiar faces
Pass by me in my walks along the street.
On distant 'Bramhalps Hill" we went a Maying-
With tree and bush and shrub twas covered Ger,
Amidst whose tangled maze our footsteps straying
Wesought the sweet arbutus, now no more
1t saddens me, yet finds my heart allaying
In calling back those merry days of yore!
A noble pils,s by garden-park surrounded,
And pleasant dwellings crown the hills broad
crest,
While at my left with their neat palings bounded
The dead are sleeping, evermore at rest
All changedi save where its gorgeous depths un-
sounded,
sea of glory floats along the West.
Gone are "vaughan's oaks,'' with gnarl'd limbs
long defying
Tie summer tempest and the winter blast
Beneath whose shade we watched the bright birds
flying,
Or agile squirrel as it darted past
All gone!-save two upon the hill outlying,
That Ger stately mansion shadows cast.
And ancient sBrackett's Pond" whence swelled the
chorus
From the gruf choir of frogs each summer night,
And where in winter, with the bright stars DER us,
The graceful skater urged his rapid flight
Fled are the sinuous waters, and before us,
l. Lo streets and dwellings fill their former stel
Across the way, with plums and apples loaded,
Stood sIneraham's Orchard" off'ling luscious
cheer,
Where urchins of, by strong temptation goaded.
Plucked the forbidden fruit'' with nervous lear,
For culprt-hke, their guilty conscience BODIED
The wratmul owner ever hov'ring neari
Around "Clark's Point" where erst we oft went
cunning
For snipe and sand-bird and the diving teal,
AL things are changed! The rafting cars are run
ming,
And tar and near is heard the din and peal
OF smoking factories, the whole air stunning
With clank OF hammer and the clash OF Steel
All, well-a-day! The old mans retrospccton
Olehershed scenes and cherished days of yore,
May well excuse the sigh and deep detection,
That fill his heart unso its very core,
For ever present is the sad reflection
Ouryears Of youth, alas, return no more!
