A Cloud With a Golden Lining.

A woman, feeble and bent with age and
overwork, stepped into New York horse
car. She hobbled to seat fortunately
there was one vacant), and, depositing her
bnndle on the floor, proceeded to tumble in
her pocket for her fare. After much search
ing she produced quarter, which she hand.
ed to the conductor. He returned the change
to her trembling fingers, but before she could
put it in her pocket, piece-probably dime
fell to the floor and was lost between the stats
at her feet In vain did she try to findit. 1t
panied her to bend so low, and with look
of resignation she gave it up.
A tall man dressed in black sat facing her,
and watched her intently as she leaned back
in her seat. His hand went to his pocket
then, STOPPING forward, he appeared to be
looking for the lost coin, and with an "Ah
here it is, madam" he stretched his hand to the
floor, and raising it, deposited the money in
her lap. He arose and Immediately left the car.
The old woman beckoned the conductor,
and, showing him the five-dollar gold piece,
asked if he had not given 1t to her by mis-.
take He assured her he had given her two
dimes. She could not understand how she
came by it, but few of the passengers could,
and as she put her hand to her face to hide
| the tears of joy that dimmed her eyes, some
one whispered the strangers name He is
one of the best known philanthropists in
New York, a member of family noted for
many years far and wide for its countless
good deeds. #

Timber Planting.

Generally, good thing is good every
where, but few good things are more vari-
ously good than grove of timber. 1t is
mans privilege to have the use of the land for
his life. Land cannot be ill-used without do
ing mischief to the public, just as the air or
water that may be polluted spoils these for
the use of others. And although farmer
owns his land he can not possibly have the
exclusive use of it, for it can never be sepa-
rated from the public welfare. If it is left to
produce weeds, or become foul marsh it in
jures the public; and if it is wellused it
blesses the whole community, along with its
owner. But especially when planted with
| timber is it a public boon. The trees have a
beauty and fitness which please the eye
they cool and purify the air, circulate mois.
ture from the deep soil into the breezes, and
contribute their quota to the fertilizing show
ers they shade the earth from the suns heat
and every grove and forest is thus not only n
store of moisture but q source of GOODNESS,
which in its turn produces currents of air
which spread their GOODNESS far and wide,
But these are not all. Trees are source
of material wealth which cannot be over
estimated in its contribution to the comfort
and happiness of mankind. And the farmer
| who plants grove of trees not only profits
himself but adds to the comfort, the happi-
ness and the wealth ofhis felow-men; and rs
to do all this is one of the duties we owe to
our race as well as to ourselves, 1t is the duty
of every owner of land, however small his
possession may be, to plant portion of il
with timber, or preserve portion of what is
already planted.
Generally it pays man TO do his whole
duty. 1t certainly pays a man to do this
part of it. 1t matters not what kind of trees
are planted; every kind is valuable. A grove
of sugar naples thirty years old has yielded
five pounds of sugar to the tree the past sea-
son. This is equal to fifty cents per tree
and as forty trees can be grown on an acre
it amounts to yearly income of $50 an acre
besides the increasing value of the capital. A
grove pays its way from the fifth year, when
the trimmings become available. Then come
fencing timber, poles or posts, and then
beams or long posts, until from each acre
1890 trees may have been taken and disposed
of before the final forty are left.
The present season one may find thousands
of seedlings on the road sides, in lanes and
fence rows that may be moved with trowel oil
spade; or large trees that may be moved by
carefully cutting a block of earth with The
roots, and with these an excellent beginning
may be made by planting one tree between
every two hills OF corn or potatoes in the
ground that is intended TO be planted.
