Trees Upon Stills.

Did ever you hear of trees upon stills?
A lady who had been readings book called
the desert World" told little bird about
it, and the little bird brought word direct
to me. In Guiana and Brazil, the lady
said, are found the immense forests which
supply the whole world with nearly all
the dye woods in use, and the most beau
tiful timbers for cabinet work. These
trees love the sea air, so they grow as near
to the shore as they can without having
their roots and trunks washed by the salt
water, which would kill most if not all of
them. Between these great forests and
the open ocean stretch vast swamps, which
at low tide are only marshy, but at high
tide are covered with several feet of water.
In these sWamps grow immense quantities
of mangroves, their dense foliage seeming
to float on the surface of the water when
the tide is in, but when it is out the
branches present the appearance of grow
ing out of the sides of PROSTATE trunks of
trees, which are supported upon immense
crooked stills. These stills are the bare
roots, which are obliged to seek the deep
rich mud for nourishment, at the same
time that they must support the trunk
and branches at a height that the tide
cannot affect them. The mangrove
swamps are the haunts Of many curious
creatures which are here almost perfectly
safe from pursuit, for the tangled masses
