But the trees, the noble, the majestic,
the grand old trees. The towering sycs-
mores, the giant limbed oaks, the magai6-
cent naples, that crimson 80 soon iron
surfeit. Lime trees, in whose quaint
blossoms the bees revealed, and the long
est summer day was not long enough for
them to finish their song Of murmured
content.
In the east park were ranks Of mighty
elms along its broad walks. Like the
chestnut trees planted by the great cardi-
nal at Hampton Court, each had name
and history, and we're part of our
past. Their brown boles supported in
terlacing branches that formed groined
arches, whose greenery flowed earthwsrd
on the dropping limbs. The sunlight fl
tering through their wealth of foliage
tessalated the soft turf beneath with alter
nate green and gold. The great men who
shaped for US country from out tho
chaos of revolution, had seen them planted
or had walked and talked beneath their
shade. They were beloved even as tried
friends. They we're more than human
from associations, and almost divine BY
ministrations. The fading life of many
households darlings had been brought
back to health by their restful quiet.
Children played beneath them in the
morning, la6orers rested there at noon
tide, lovers kept their trystings in tho
cleaning. White haired couples sat un-
der their sheltering boughs in the warm
summer nights. The silence thrilled BY
tie sibilant songs of tho insect world,
as myriad fre-flies foated in aerial
waltzes through the dewy LEAKAGE that
just trembled in the languid air.
Remnants of MANNED and fever smitten
men swathed in bandsges and clad in
blue; living skeletons with scarce strength
to hold their souls, were wont to totter
here on crutch or staff, lingering long to
renew their communion with nature and
God, their hearts stepped in gratitude that
the great captain had ordered them to
fall back from where they had been SO
long posted, by that dark river whose
name is death. Stalwart men, in tattered
grey, whose eyes had flashed fire in the
shock of battle, here grew humid and
brimmed over with tears as they watched
from the barred windows opposite tho
crimson glories of sunset pierce with their
lances Of light the leaves galore, and send

dor their naked prison walls. The warmth
and color of the after glow was wont to
shut out their present misery and desola-
ton and bring healing to their hearts,
with some pleasing memories of distant
homes and loved ones they hungcred 90
to see.
Once week in summer time, the ma
rine band, wearing their uniforms Of white
and scarlet, sat in the pavilion and gave
open air concerts. The refrains of that
delicious music must yet linger in the
memory of thousands. Medleys, marches,
waltzes, anthems, the airs of familiar bal
lads and for goodbye, "Hail Columbia,"
or Home, Sweet Home" Then friends
and acquaintsnces would form into coa-
