long these will last is doubtful question.

We find that the country requires for its
annual supply9 - .53O, 900 cubic fee, equal
to e;IS, 5lj cords of solid timber, To secure
which at least 100000 cords of stand
ing timber have to be cut down. The
average product per acre of the forests
Of Virginia j. given by NJ +. Maury At
from forty To fifty cords per acre SO

railroad ties alone destroy annually TO-
600 acres Of woodland. The annual
consumption Of the country for fuel is
estimated at over j0,WO, 900 cords Of
wood, of which three iiftns may be as
sumed To bc good standing timber cut
expressly for fuel. This gives an annu-

Of charcoal, and "A furnace that makes

WIEN ROSES BLOW.

II was the time when roses blow.
The sweetest time IN all the year,
Twas whcr the sun was rel and low,
And when the skies were warm AMI clear,
met a maiden by the gate
lhatlci into Held Of corn;
To see her WAS proud 10 wait,
For fairer girl was never born.
I saw blush upon each check,
A hashful CLEAN was IN her eye,
I'D yeanei g. see her hear her speak,
soon Is the day began 90 die.
Tor love its secret longs 10 hide
beneath green leaves when days no more
And when It's faltering words have died.
4, turns its idol 10 adore.
We fingered long beside the gate,
And an our love Was slowly told
Until the happy hours grew late
And stars appeared like drops Of gold.
Rare cdors seemed with us TO stay,
kain music reached us from a rill.
We loved the night more than the day,
20 lone. 50 beautiful. and still
Nights the time for love TO spring
Beneath a blue and star-llt sky,
When every zephyr seems 10 ring
With music as IL wantons by.
Then hearts IN union gladly beat,
And eyes with rarcst brightness glow.
For there's no other time SO sweet
For love, rs that when roses blow
