Musical Recitation.

Although the QuakerE, as q sect, do
not favor music, regarding it rs profit
less amusement INDUCED in by the
worlds people, there are occasionally
stories told which show that the love of
music sometimes steals its way into a
Quaker household in spite of discipline.
George Thompson, the famous English
abolitionist, while lecturing on tho abo-
lition Of slavery i'll the British provinces,
stopped ono night with a Quaker family.
He was a great lover of music, and at
that time was a good singer
During the evening" be aarg "Oft In
the Silly Night" which was listened

In the morning bis Quaker hostess
appeared somewhat uneasy. She wished
to hear the sorg again, but it would
hardly Go, che thought, for her to re-
guest its repetition. at last, however,
her desire ovcrcamc her scruples.

TREES IN THE STREETS.
A Society In New York City to Bcautify
the Avenues.

A Society In New York City to Bcautify
the Avenues.
Without doubt the Tree Planting as
sociaticn Of New York has undertaken
a most benefcent work. So far as it
proves to he practicable, it will contrib
ute as much as any other scheme that
could be projected for the emBellish-
ment Of the city. The incorporators are
to considerable extent the sanlo as the
incorporators Of the Botanic garden

intelligence Thus the society begins
under the most favorable possible ans.
pices, for caution and discrimination as
well as for enterprise.
Of course its work will bo largely ex-
perimental. There are streets, even resi-.
dential streets, in New York ii which
ii may not be vase to attempt tree plant
ing at all, for the reason that tho SPACE
cannot be srared, either from the side
walk OF the roadway, for the boxes that
must protect the young trees or for the
trunks of such as live to maturity. Even
III those etreets in which there is room
enough for trees there are many places
In which no trees can thrive BY reason
OF the lack of sunshine, and, indeed,
there are scarcely any streets in New
York below the park in which trees can
be expected to do SO well as in a place
like Washington, where the streets are
60 wide and the buildings SO low as to
give all trees that may be planted a fair
chance for life. Almost the only streets
in New York that arc as favorably sit
uated are the Broadway boulevard and
the Riverside drive. The boulevard has
been until within the past few months
dismal monument to municipal neg
lect. Now il is kept in order, but time
is required TO replace the trees that have
been allowed to die, and the double row
of trees that were meant "high over
arched to emboworp does not embower
at all, but presents upon the whole
scraggy and dismal spectacle.
This, of course, comes mainly from
neglect, for there is no reason why trees
in this thoroughfare should not thrive
if they can be made TO thrive anywhere
i'll New York The general introduction
of electric lighting Will do much for the
trees unless gas is still carried through
the ground for fuel. 1t is given out that
uncontaminated Garth will bo used for
the setting of the rev trees, but, judg-
ing from what we have experienced in
the opening of Fifth avenue for a sewer
and the previous openings of other ave.
iues for laying cables, the percolation
Of the gas through the fresh soil would
be matter Of onlyweeks 1t the longest.

to encounter many obstacles II it sue

over them, it will entitle itself to the

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
THE INSANE MAN KILLED AT
NORRISTOWN.

II is the old, old-fashion for officials

tentlaries or hospitals for the insane.

management, their subordinates. are
quite perfect, and incapable Of being
anything but perfect. A system or
management which tends to make sane
men insane, or one that leaps the wide
gult which separates the highest duty.

from the crime of murder, no official
associated with the system or manage
ment Will admit it to be, in any man
ner or degree, imperfect, or that il can
possibly be improved.
But what the higher authorities Of
the law have to consider in the matter
OF the poor demented convict. McCue.

the tacts in the case as they were pre-
sented 10 the corOner's jury. They are.

was not Of violent, but of gentle con-
duct, that upon his entrance to the hos

days after his admission he died from

that verdict was wholly wrong, there

With bluer heights beyond,
And the air is sweet with spring,
But when will the Garth respond?
Prairie that rolls for leagues,

Like stirless sea Of waves,
Unbroken by ship or sail.
The hollows are dark with brush
And blncl with tie wash OF showers
And ragged with bleaching wreck

No cloud in tho blue, no stir
Save the shrill Of tho wind in tho grass
And the meadow lark note, and the cali
