Pleasant Afternoon at "Grantley."

On Saturday afternoon last an agreeable COM
pany of gentleman assembled by invitation at
"Grantley Manor" the beautiful residence of Mr..
George Small, near York, Pa. "Grantley" is one
of the most charming of country residences to be
found anywhere, and its proprietor is one of the
most genial gentleman that one could wish to
meet with. The after-dinner speeches were
feature of the occasion, and the host, who was
particularly happy, was reported follows by
the sprightly York Age:
''I left these beautiful hills and valleys and
these dear people love before attaining the years
of manhood. Business cares and duties called me
away from these scenes and the people to Balti-
more, which ever since have known as my home,
but now have builded here and come back sum-
mer after summer to enjoy the beauties of my
native heath and the companionship of relatives
and friends. trust the day may come that I
can return here to stay in this the land of my
fathers. Here. standing upon this piazza, I can
see the spot where my father and grandfathers
rest from their earthly labors, and can overlook
the happy scenes of my boyhood days. 1t is to
me Joy inexpressible to dwell among these
scenes SO fraught with pleasant memories of the
past and peopled with those 1 love. When the
sands of my life have their course, there is no
spot on earth where l would sooner pass away to
rest than in this house, looking out upon this
beautiful landscapo-to me, indeed, Garden of
Eden"

Preservation of the Forests.

At the convention of the American Society of
Engineers, held at Deer Park, Nd, last week,
Mr.. F. Collingwood, of Elizabeth, N. j., read
paper on the preservation of the forests its pur-
pose being to show the necessity of exercising
economy in the use of forest products and the APP
parent possibility of q wood famine. The writer
concluded that the supply of white pine in the
United States is certain to be exhausted before
the end of this century, and probably in Canada
also. OF Southern pines, at the present rate of
consumption, there is said to be $50 years. sup
ply of spruce and hemock east of the Mississippi
There is probably rs years supply Of hard woods
The supply of black walnut and ash is being
rapidly exhausted. The supplies of other kinds
of wood are, however, so abundant that famine
cannot be predicted. In reference to tree plant
ing, the writer says that when intelligently un-
dertaken in regions where timber is scarce, fair
return is made on the investment. In the dis
cusson that followed it was insisted by several
that timber planting can be made as profitable as
crop planting.
