Who but geology, chemistry, the
quarry of the air, the water of the brook,
the lightning of the cloud, the plough of
the frost? Before he was born into the
field, the sun of ages soaked it with light
and heat, mellowed his land, decomposed
the rocks, covered it with vegetable film,
then with forests, and accumulated
cubic acres of sphagnum, whose decay
makes the peat of his meadow. The
rocks crack like glass by inequality
of contraction in heat and cold, and
flakes fall constantly into the soil. The
tree can draw on the whole air, the whole
earth, on the rolling main. The plant,
the tree, is all suction-pipe, imbibing
from the ground by its roots, from the
air byits twigs with all its might. Take
up a spadeful or buck-load of loan; ;
who can guess what it holds? But a
gardener knows that it is full of peaches,
full of oranges, and he drops in few
seeds by way of keys to unlock and COM
bine its values,-lets it lie in sun and
rain, and by-and-by it has lifted into the
air it's full weight in golden fruit
