Stone Walls.

One who wanders over the rocky pastures
and through the woods of New England will
often be surprised at the long lines of stone
wall running through land which seems no.
worth dividing. The amount of hard bone
labor which has been expended by our farm
ers in building stone wall would have ac-
complished great results in other directions.
But then the rocky land yielded abundance
of stones that must be disposed of in some
way and each proprietor desired to see a
substantial dividing line between him and
his neighbor. Of all our fences none seems
more part of the soil, native land to the
manner BORN" than the old stone wall. The
stump fence may be more picturesque, the
zigzag fence afford more cosy hooks, but
none are so near to nature as the stone wall.
The wild rose chambers over it. moss and
lichen cling to and beautify it. and bushes,
bramble., burdocks, thistles and milkweed,
those natives Of the soil, seek its friendly
shelter from the all destroying pillow and hoe.
Massive and enduring rs it seems 1t Is not be-
yond the reach of dilapidation and decay. 1t
tumbles down, affording ragged gaps, and
its stones sink into the soil until they seem a
part of it. The geologist find in its ruins q
rich field for his hammer, and what shelter
do its crevices afford for the living creatures
of field and wood We know stretch of
stone-wall. empowered in the woods, whose
level top is dining table for the squirrels.
Above it grow the tall pines whose cones fur
nish the feast. Sit quietly here with us in
this leafv covert, and watch Master Squirrel
at his meal. There he comes, quick darting
along the wall. See how careful he Is to Sc
lect cone that has not yet lost its seeds.
Having secured one that promises feast he
sits erect upon the wall, and placing the cone
with its tip resting near his hind feet, and
the butt near his nose, with his sharp incisors
he cuts off the upper scale, and exposes the
seed. Having secured this, he gives the cone
a turn-as the scales are not placed in rows
like the kernels of corn on an ear, but over,
lap each other in n spiral manner-then snip,
snip 20 his teeth. and another scale falls. ex-
posing another seed. and thus he continues
until the cone is finished. His dinner is eat
en-. We involuntarily move. his quick ear
hears the rustic: he glancss sharply about,
then darts up the tree, and leaping from
bough to bough. and tree-top to tree top, is
soon lost in his aerial domains. But we have
seen him at his dinner, and have learned that
the squirrel knows the secret of the cones,
Notwithstanding they so closely hide their
seeds. The scales lie thick upon the wall,
the fragments of many fessts. He will come
again when we are gone, and dine to- morrow.
