The Abuse of Trees.

Mr.. Hughes, in n letter from his
newly-iounded colony at Rugby, Tenn.
TO the London Spectator, says: There are
few more interesting experiences than
n ride through these Southern forests.
The scrub is so low and thin that you
can almost always see away for long dis
tances among pine, white oak and chest
nut trees; and every now and then at
ridges where the timber is thin, or
where clump of trees has been ruth
lessly girdled and the bare, gaunt skele-
tons only remain standing, you may
catch glimpses OF mountain ranges of
different shades of blue and green,
stretching far away TO the horizon. You
can't live many days up here without
getting to love the trees even more,
think. than we do in we'll kept Eng
land; and this outrage of girdling as
they call it-stripping the bark from the
lower part of the trunk, so that the trees
wither and die as they stand-strikes
one as a kind of household cruelty, rs
If man should cut off or disfgure all
his wife's hair. If he wants tree for
lumber or firewood, very good. He
should have 1t. But he should cut it
down like man, and take II clet n away
for some reasonable use, not leave it as
scsrecrow TO bear witness OF his reck-
lessness and laziness. Happily not much
mischief of this kind has been done yet
in the neighborhood of Rugby, and n
stop will now be put to the wretched
practice. There Is another, too, almost
as ghastly, but which, no doubt, has
more to be said for It. At least half of
the largest pines alongside of the sandy
tracks which do duty for roads have q
long, gaping wound in their sides, about
yard from the ground. This was the
native way of collecting turpentine,
which oozed down and accumulated
at the bottom of the cash; but rejoice
to say II no longer pays, and the custom
is in disuse. 1t must be suppressed al
together, but carefully and gently. It
seems that If not persisted in too long,
the poor. dear. long-suffering trees will
close up their wound. and not be much
the worse; so trust that many of the
scored pines, springing forty or fifty
feet in the air before tn owing out
branch, which passed in sorrow and
anger on my first long ride, may yet
outlive those who outraged them. Hav-
ing got rid of my spleen, excited by these
two diabolic customs, can return TO
our ride, which had otherwise nothing
but delight In It.

hunters found one of the catam cunts

desired TO secure il alive, but no one

rope over its head. Its rage was such
that 1t made violent efforts 10 spring
upon its captors. One of them finally
approached with long pole, which he
expected TO pass over the animals neck
and hold it tight to the ground, while
others tied its legs together. When the
man was ten feet away the catamount
made such strong surgings and springs
forward to meet him that it tore its leg
apart, and thus released from the trap
sprang upon him before he was aware of
the situation, 1t set its teeth in the pole
not two inches from where one of the
hunters hands grasped it. Both fore
paws seized tie pole, and the one hind
claw struck the hunter above the right
knee, tearing the flesh for nearly a foot
and at least half an inch deep. The
hun.er dropped the pole and rushed
back to where his companions stood
gazing with terror on the unexpected
attack Of the infuriated animal. The cata-
mount crouched for spring in the
midst of the hunters, but a rifie-ball
from one of them broke its fore shoulder
and another shot gave it mortal wound.
No trace of its mate had been seen, but
while the men were looking at the cata-
mount they had killed, as it lay stretched
on the ground, the unmistakable cry of
the other was heard eff in the woods. It
came nearer and nearer until the animal
sprang into an open space near the
hunters, and confronted them with glar-

Sunshine.

From an acorn weighing few grains,
a tree will grow for hundred years or
more, not only throwing off many
pounds of leaves every year, but itself
weighing several tons. If an orange
twig is put in large box of earth, and
that earth is weighed when the twig
becomes tree, bearing luscious fruit
there will be very nearly the same
amount of earth. From careful expert
meBs made by different scientific men,
7 is an ascertained fact that very large
part OF the growth of tree is derived
from the sun, from the air. ar from the
water, and very little from the earth;
and notably, all vegetation becomes
sickly unless it is freely exposed to sun
shine. Wood and coal are but condensed
sunshine, which contain three import
ant elements, equally essential to both
vegetable and animal ife-magnesia.
lime and iron. It is the iron in the
blood which gives it its sparkling red
color and its strength. Ii is the lime in
the bones which give them the durability
necessary to bodily vigor, while the
magnesia is important TO any of the
tissues. Thus it is, that the moro
persons are out OF doors, the more
healthy, the more vigorous they are, and
:he longer will they live. Every human
being ought TO have an hour or two of
sunshine at noon in winter, and In the
