ssg In Iowa the planting Of
trees is encouraged by law; every
acre Of forest trees planted releas-
es taxation for ten years on one
hundred dollars valuation, and
for each acre of fruit trees
planted, tax is exempted on flfty
dollars valuation for FIVE years;
the same for shade trees and bedg-

Pictures ofMen.
BY HENRY WARD BEEcHER.

The Hen Of Misunderstanding
to the notion of MammOn, it takes
bnt little to make a man. Dollars
there are his feet. Hundreds
of dollars-there are his legs.
Thousands of dollars-there are
his thighs. Hundreds of thou
sands of dollars-there is his
trunk. Millions of dollars--there
is his heart. Hundreds of mill
ions of dollars-there is the gent
us of divine manhood! From the
top of his head to the sole of his
foot, there is nothing of him but
mOney-no taste, no love, no deli
cacy, no refinement, no self sacri-
fee, no Notwithstanding but
gold. How many men there are
who toll years and years, of whom
it may be said that if you take
away from them their money,
nothing will be left! We can car
~ nothing out of the world except
ourselves; and I tell you, it will be
very easy walking for some men!
They have great bodies here, and
large estates, and they make an
impression in the community; but
all these external things are to lie
left behind, and they can take
nothing out with them but the
manhood that is in them-and
it will not be an excessive burden!
The GenteeI MdR.-Here is the
rich mans son, who has been edu-
Gated at great expense and pains,
and who has graduated from col
lege, and has come out a gentle
man! He has studied, not with a
view to fitting himself for any avo-
cation in life, but with a view to
being a gentleman. He reads, not
for the sake of knowing anything,
but for the sake Of being a gentle
man. Soon his father breaks
down; and he, when he is about
twenty-five years old, finds him.
self poor mans son, and depend
ent upon his own exertions. And
he. says to himself, "What shall |
do for a liying?" He asks his feet,
and his feet say, II don't know
He asks his hands, and they say.
II do not know" He asks his
body, and that says, II do not
know" lie asks his head, and il
says, Il never learned anything
about how to get a living" There
is only one man that can befriend
this poor wretch, and that is the
sexton! Could anything be more
useless than such a person? Car
theresbe anything more pitablt
than such histories@ And yet
they are happening every day.
The Lazy Mdn.-There is no fer
mentation like the fermentation
OF IazInesS. There are no tempta
tons equal to those Of of men who
fhave nothing to do. Men thai
have unruly and corrupt passions
need to be restrained and purified
by work. Work hardens, anG
strengthens, and builds up men
1t is in consonaRce with the Law
of your creation, and with all thu
testimonies Of experience, thai
work is enrolling. So, do not b.
ashamed of labor.

UNIoN.-Ata regular meeting of the City

Calvary Baptist church, II was resolved that
the anniversary procession be indefinitely
postponed. The withdrawal OF the Metho-

was by the previous withdrawal of the
Island and Capitol Hill schools, coupled
with the evident reluctance Of some of the
remaining to turn out and bear the necessary
expenses, rendered such action inevitable. It
was resolved to hold grand celebration In a
short time at Howard University Park, at
the head Of Seventh street, and q committee
OF five were appointed to make the neces-
sary arrangements, and announce them In
the schools next Sabbath.
