Hutchinson, on meeting Preston. 81 did

The people would not be pacified or re-

guard-room and the barracks; and
Hutchinson himself gave assurances that
instant inquiries should be made by the
county magistrates. One hundred per-

after midnight. A warrant was issued
against Preston, who surrendered himself
to the sheriff; and the soldiers of his
party were delivered up and committed

GRADE UI-LESSON X.
ABOUT PLANTS.
THE LEAF.

THE LEAF.
We think OF a leaf as sonnet hing thin
and broad, with edges smoothly rounded,
prettily scalloped, or else nicely toothed,
and we know that its color is of pleasing
green.
Most plants have leaves shaped some
what like the apple leaf-oval, or egg
shape. On some plants these oval leaves
are smooth on the edge; on Others the
edges are toothed, like those of the
chestnut oak.
The leaves of some plants are coarsely
toothed; on other plants the teeth are
very fine. Many herbs, such as the asters
and golden-rods OF our woods, as well as
the wild suntiowers, have leaves with
both coarse and fine teeth, beside many
small ones with smooth edges, all on the
same plant.
A leaf may be very long oval, or a
very short and broad one; and some
leaves are almost round. Then, again,
there are leaves of heart shape; some
morning glory plants have such leaves.
Many plants have scalloped leaves: the
edges round in and out. Nearly all oaks
have such leaves. The live-oak, the will
low oak, and some others, have smooth
oval leaves.
There is Il leaf of a very curious shape,
and a pretty leaf it is. 1t grows on very
large and tall trees, called tulip-trees !;
and these are SO named because they have
very large flowers shaped somewhat like
Il tulip. These splendid trees grow in our
American forests.
The sweet-gum trees have star-shaped
leaves, and our maple-trees have very
handsome leaves of somewhat the same
shape. These are only few of the count
less kinds OF leaves.
Leaves are for the most part thin and
broad. Being thin they are light, and a
tree with its many little branches can
bear thousands upon thousands of them,
and not break down. Being broad, they
touch good deal of air; and that is jus t
what the plant wants them to do. 1t
wants them to take in from the air all the
food they can.
And how do the leaves do this? By a
kind OF breathing. leaf has a skin on
each side, and the skin on the lower side
has great many fine holes. There are
many thousands of such fine holes in the
skin OF a Leaf; and through these holes
the air gets inside the leaf.
There part OF the air joins the sap or
juice that has come up from the roots,
and the two together make the food OF
the plant.
When the wind blows, the leaves bend
and flutter about, but they hold fast to
the branches by their tough little stalks
and, il few of the weaker ones do blow
off, it does not matter much, for the plant
has plenty more left. The firm, round
trunk hardly moves; and the strong,
round branches bend over, but do not
break; while the roots hold everything
fast.
There are plants, however, that have
very slender needle-like leaves. All the
many different kinds Of pines have such
leaves, which for the most part hang
from the trees in punches. The aspara-
gus plant, the young shoots Of which
we eat, has thread like leaves that come
out ON the stem i'll round clusters.
There are many other plants with
leaves not thicker than pins; and some
plants have very short and thick leaves.
