on the sufferings of the houseless anC
hungry people of Chicago. One of tn,
company was boy of ten years, who haC
two hundred dollars in savings bank
His father said to him, Prank, we mus
all give something to the destitute and af
/ f1icted men, women and children of tina
city. How much will you give? YoJ
have some money of your own in thu
bank. Whatever you are willing to give
l will send tomorrow in your name to the
Mayor of Chicago, and tell him that it i,
from generous boy in Brooklyn, to hell
keep warm the little feet and hands of tn,
children of Chicago" The lad to whom
this fatherly speech was addressed blusheC
I
of heart full of charity exclaimed
Father, send it all :" And the whole
I two hundred dollars-the sum total of the
boys slow savings, was sent next day OF
its errand of mercy. We ehappen to know
that the boys father took out these two
hundred childish dollars, but put bacl
/ four hundred into their place. And We

REMOVING LARGE TREEs-When it il
/ desirable to msve large tree, the deptl
of winter, when the ground is frozen
/ should be chosen for the operation. No
only deciduous trees, but any kind o
evergreens, even hemlocks, the most diff
| ficult to remove, may be safely trans
| planted at this season. 1t is obvious tina
the time to prepare for such work is be
/ fore the ground becomes frozen. A trencl
should be dug around the tree sufficient,
distant from the trunk to leave untouche'
/ a large mass of the roots, and sufficient,
! deep that they may be undermined with
out being disturbed. 1t should then b
partly filled up with leaves or coarse litter
which will preserve the bottom fror
freezing. In February or March, whe
the frost is most severe, the litter may b
taken out, the tree completely undermined
and the frozen mass of earth around tn
roots pried out of the hole and placed o
stone-boat. 1t may now be conveyed {
its new home, which should have bee
prepared and protected from the frost
Sufficient earth from the surface or fror
some rich spot should have been placed i
the bottom of the hole, the tree planted o
this, and the hole filed with similar sol
When the spring arrives the tree will settl
into its place without further care, exceI
perhaps little filling up, and will be in
