II Is surprising that 50 many families

No suburban or country residence can
be considered complete without its sur
roundings OF beautiful trees. Evergreens
should be extensively employed because
they add greatly to the most gloomy sea
son Of the year; but they should never be
employed to the exclusion of deciduous
trees and shrubs Extensive walks and
drives are sometimes bordered with ever
green trees but usually this displays bad
taste, inasmuch as the view within such
close lines Of dense foliage becomes mo-
notonous, and the eye experiences safety
instead Of a pleasing variety

Decidedly the best specimen of upland
cotton we have seen for manv a day. was
left at our Office few days ago by Mr..
McShane, who has farm near the mouth
Of Jordan river; and whom our readers
viii remember as the gentleman who
raised the premium bale of cotton, on
which so many encomiums were lavished
at st. Louis, Cincinnati, and other South
ern centres of commerce. The cotton is
remarkably fine, has rich, silky touch,
and would take premium anywhere. =

When man has the painters faculty
of recollecting faces, and with it a quick
and retentive memory of small facts, the
combination gives him great social power.
This was Macaulay's case. He never
forgot the face of man whom he had
met in society, and with the face he re-
membered all the salient facts connected
with the owner of it. Few things are
more Hattering toan ordinary mortal than
being thoroughly remembered by great
lion with whom he has perhaps had a
brief interview several years before. /
doubt if this faculty exists to any great
extent among our public men; indeed,
have often been surprised at the absence
of 1t. A Russian baron of the true divine
right school once maintained to me that
this was an effect of republican institu-
tons, or, what came to the same thing.
that the opposite was the result of mon
archical institutions. He said that kings
and princes were obliged to see a great
many persons, wherefore Providence had
conferred on them various means of being
gracious 10 those persons, of which prompt
recognition was one.-Galaxy.

Anecdote of Webster.

W hen Daniel Webster had reached the
very topmost height of his fame. after his
great speech in reply to Colonel Haype. of
South Carolina-the speech commonly
known as his Constitutional Speech"E
ne PAID a visit TO his cid home in New
Hampshire, the nelghborhood of his boy
lsh years and his first manly aspirations
and strugglIngs. A we'll known citizen
was his companion. After going up the
rough mountain roads for a good long
while, Webster pointed out the nearness
OF the old parental roof tree. s'Tbere. y
said he, els neighbor' we will call
there's our old neiehbor Jones

knows me" So Mr. Webster cot out of
the wagon and walked on ahead. Soon
he met old man Jones, and ''passed the
time OF day., as they say in good rnral
New England. Webster walked lazilv.
lotierlngly along the road, and finally
turning, said to the scanned, gnarled, rug
ged old farmer:
