All its sunlight and its rains;
From the mountains to the sea-
Good enough (thank heavenly for me.
What Though fortune should rebuff

Love of children and Of wife;
Wheresoe'er my steps may be,
Good enough thank heavenly for me.

Horticultural Note.

When young tree does not grow
and the leaves are yellowish instead
of green, dig down to the roots and
endeayor to discover if some insect or
parasite is not working uuder the
ground. Then dig away plenty OF
dirt and drench the roots with strong
roapsuds, to which should be added a
few pounds of unbleached wood ashes,
or put the ashes in after drenching the
roots. It will not injure the tree and
may prove of great benefit.
