Winter Transplanting.
Our Country Home.

Large trees may be transplated with tolerable
safety by removing large ball Of frozen earth

the tree two or three feet from the trunk late in
autumn, sufficiently deep to sever all the larger
horizontal roots. The hole for the reception of
the tree should also be dug before the ground
freezes; then in winter, at time when the soil
at the base of tree is frozen solid, back the
forward truck of a farm-wagon against the
trunk. lift the tongue erect and strap it firmly
to the body. Then loosen the tree at the base

Sadi, the Fortune-Sceker.

tFrom the Germanl by Emanuel Marquis.
In search of happiness unmarried,
Sadi, the wise. had wandered many year
To palaces afar and near,
Where heads were bedecked and bosoms starred
And on the highway, in the lane,
Mong rich and poor, in mansion and in hut
Through Office shop and market, but
His eager quest. alas proved all in vain.
And worn and weary of his task,
Bent to the earth with and with age
What wonder that at last the sage,
Grown fainter in his hope should ask:
us this the bitter lesson, then;
When in its best estate the world appears
It only smiles through unseen tears
There is no perfect fortune among men?"
Considering thus In somber mood
The lot of mortals, he beheld one day
An ancient temple on his way
Amidst cedar wood in solitude.
And having reached the holy place
And rested on its cool, mosaic floor,
Sunk in prostratiop to implore
The grant of his desire, of Alah's grace.
And while he tarried in the halls
And scanned with wondering eye the builder craft
The vaulted arch, the stately shaft,
The mystic symbols purified on the walls
rainbow gieam his vision caught.
1t came respondent from distant door
Whose paneled face this legend bore
In curious gems and sparkling jewels wrought:
Behind this portal regneth bliss;
The home of happiness is this,
Where cruel fortune filings no dart
To pierce the soul, to wound the heart.
He hears no sigh, and sees no tear,
And knows grief who enters here
And whatsoever his wisdom Knocked
Is to his quickened sense unlocked.
Praise be, great Allah, to thy name'
Exclaimed the sage, who in thy goodness hast,
In this most glorious hour, at last,
Brought all my hfe's endeavor to its aim
And freed my soul from doubt and gloom"
And as the door he, trembling, open drew,
What did the startled Sadi viewl
Beneath him, in marble crypt-a tomb.
