The enchantment of distance. like the
haze Of Indian summer, is undeniable,
but it is atmospheric. 1t is not part
of the thing seen; it is the medium
through which we see it. The old-fash-
toned winter is such winter as some
times occurred when there was not a
new-fashioned winter, that is to say,
that sometimes winter was mild. some
times severe. as it is now. But there is
no good old-fashioned quality-heroism,
self-sacritice, manly persistence. truth
fulness and honor in all dealing

Genius, indeed, fluctuates from age tC

art and literature: the age of Pericles;
of Augustus; of the Medici: of Eliza,

and private virtue, is perpetual. One

Pruning, says T. 7. Lyon in an ex-
change, is always more or less injuri-
Gus. Pinching, so far as it can be made
to obviate the necessity of pruning

minimum. Young trees, pinched at the
proper height for the heads, will rarely
start branches enough to form salts

branches must necessarily be cut away

the pinching will have proved of little
or no advantage. Trees pinched and
