of Villa residents in the division has
enormously increased, and this circum-

AMBITION.

Adown yon vale, so cool and green,
Where rays of moon were never seen,
So thick the trees were round it,
There stood a beech Of giant bole,
Upon a velvet messy knoll,
And birds sang all around it.
A brook flowed softly, close beside,
And tree and knoll upon its tide
Could see their CLASSY doubles;
The whispering trees in love bent nigh,
And joined their arms when winds blew high,
Dividing all their troubles
But, oh TO be famous tree,
A landmark great for all TO see,
Was then this trees ambition;
And now, behold, a>clearing's made,
Surrounding trees the ak has laid
To give the beech position
The brook, beneath the burning skies,
Has shrunk to half its former size;
The birds have all departed.
4 landmark, now, this lonely beech,
Far placed beyond his neighbours reach,
Is well nigh broken hearted.
