Trees and Health.

Everybody knows that trees take the
carbonic acid thrown out in the breath
of men and animals, separate it into It's
component parts-carbon and oxygen
give back the latter to TO he used over
again, and work up the former into wood
and fruit.
1t is also coming to be generally under
stood that forest trees doimportant service
in prompting rainfalls, and III helping
to retain the surface water for springs,
streams and general use.
1t is also known that certain species,
planted in malarial localities, help to
render the latter healthy by somehow
using up the deadly miasma.
1t would now appear that trees grow
ing near drains carry off the sewerage
water.
A gentleman whose cess-drain was con-
structed just like his neighbors', and in
the same kind of soil, has found it I'M
necessary to clean it out, while the 9TH
ers had to be cleaned out frequently.
An examination showed that three
large trees, whose roots had penetrated
into the vicinity of his second, or waste,
cess-pool, were clearly the channels
through which the waste all escaped.
Whether it was changed into plant
food, as is likely, or was exhaled through
the leaves, in either case it was disposed
of with equal safety.

be the more deeply cherished III the
hearts of his countrymen. Nor less APP
preclative is the earlier remembrance OF
President Timothy Dwight, who refers
To him as the Upright and generous y
Hale, and in the common epic OF that
! period thus describes his tastes and quail
tiles:
With genius living flame his bosom glowed,
And science charmed him 20 her sweet abode;
In worths fair path his feet adventured iar,
The pride of peace the rising grace Of war;
In duty firm, in danger calm AZ even,
To friends unchanging. ana sincere To heaNen'
Although Hale suffered i'll the year
1776, and from the centennial stand
point it may appear somewhat late To
bring him to mind, it is to be noted that
the recollection of his fate was very
strikingly revived four years after, or
just century ago, by the capture and
execution of Mai. Andre Ill connection
with the Arnold infamy. Should that
event, which III 1880 profoundly inter
ested both Englishmen and Americans,
lead to any expressions of sympathy
during the present year, or suggest
historical review or anniversary of
the episode, the incident of 1776 must
necessarily be coupled with it. The
fortune of the British officer was
in many aspects affecting, but 1t
did not stand alone. Hardly
had he been captured before
the nearly forgotten execution OF Hale,
as spy, was recalled to American Off
GERS, and Andre himself remembered it.
If their cases differed in certain points,
and it was possible for Andre to enter a
plausible justification of his movements,
where Hale had none whatever to plead, |
the two victims, on the other hand,
bore this resemblance to each other,
that both were young officers, beloved
by their companions III arms, favorites
with their respective commanders, edu-
'ated, brave, and each anxious TO be of
essential service, the one to his sover-
IGN, the other to his cause.
From 1880 their names have thus been
loosely associated. Their fate was hard
,ut inevitable, and justified by the
necessary rigor of military law; and for
ach and both there always have been,
n either side of the water, many deep
felt.-Heuy II. johnson, IN

The Dark Day.

On the Goth of last month occurred
the Tooth anniversary of the famous
dark day." which spread over New
England and the Middle States, and,
since there are traditions of it among
the Indians, probably over the rest of
the continent also. Candles had to be
lighted at midday and the chickens went
to roost. People thronged to the church
es, where the clergy rebuked them for
their sins. The moon was to rise at 9
o'clock at night, but the darkness was
SO great that no one could distinguish
the earth from the sky The moon did
not appear, and the people were plunged
into n still more terrible fright. Few
slept that night, but watched anxiously
for the commissions of nature which
they expected would end, or open, the
day of judgment. One man, Abraham
Davenport, of Connecticut, member
of the Legislature then III session, has
become famous for being unaffected by
the reign of terror and timidity which
everywhere prevailed. Rising i'll his
seat when it was proposed to adjourn, he
called for candles. If it was not the
day of Judgment, he said, there was no
need for adjournment: if it was, he
wanted to he found doing his duty.
Whittier has embodied the incident in
one of his most pleasing poems. His
courage and common sense for long
time gave to the occurrence the name of
"Davenport's Dark Day." The next
morning the sun rose in a cloudless sky,
dispelling all fears, and the people
probably went to SHINING again as usual.
The most remarkable feature of the re-
markable event is that no explanation
of it has ever been offered. jules Verne
has ventured the suggestion that the
earth was passing through the tail of
comet. Detroit Free Press.

Hale and Andre.

The name of Nathan Hale-unfortu-
nately too little familiar to the present
generation-revives the memory of n
noble act of self-forgetfulness. That it
made its impression in the days of the
Revolution, wherever the circumstances
became known, we are assured by some
thing besides tradition; and since that
time it has never failed to touch the
heart or excite the admiration of writer's
who have had occasion to repeat the
story. Jared Sparks, the historian, after
describing, in his Life and Treason of
Arnold, the unhappy business and fate
of Andre, recalls the youth in the Ameri-
can camp who met II similar death he.
fore him, and pays a grateful tribute to
his character. Where" he asks, in
closing. "is the memento of the virtues,
the patriotic sacrifice and the early fate
of Hale? It is not inscribed in marble;
l. is hardly recorded in books. Let it
