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

A society In New 1OTK 01ty 10 BeAuE7fy
 the Az enues.
 Without doubt the Tree Planting as. seciation of New York las und. .rtaken a most benefcent work. So far as it proves to be 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 same as the incorporators of the Botanic garden men well known for public spirit and intelligence. Thus the society begins under the most favorable possible aus pices, for caution and discrimination aa well as for enterprise
 Of course it's work will be largely ex. perimental. There are streets, even resi- dential streets. in New York in which it may not Ie wise to attempt tree plant. ing at all, fl the reason that the space cannot Dc spared, either from the side walk or the roadway, for the boxes that must protect the young trees or for the trunks of such as live 10 maturity. Ever in those streets in which there is room enough for trees there are many places in which no trees car 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 we'll as in a place like Washington, where the streets are so wide and the buildings so low as to give ali trees that may he planted fair chance for life. Almost the only streets in New York that are as favorably sit nated are the Broadway boulevard and the Riverside drive. The boulevard has been until within the past few months ] dismal monument to municipal neg feet. Now it is kept in order, but time is required 10 replace the trees that have been allowed to die, and the double row If trees that were meant Thigh over- arehed to embower" does not embower at all. but presents upon the whole 8 geraggy and dismal spectacle.
 This, Of course, comes mainly from neglect, for there is no reason Yky trees in this thoroughfare should not thrive if they can be made to thrive anywhere III New York. The general introduction of electric lighting will do mue1 for the trees unless gas is still carried through the ground for fuel. Itis given out that uneonTaminated earth will be used for the setting of the new trees, but, iuag. ing from what we have experienced in the opening of Fifth avenue for q sewer and the previous openings of other ave. nues for laying cables, the perco1atiou of the gas through the fresh soil would be q matter of only weeks at the longest The new association is plainly destined 90 encounter many obstacles.

THE MINISTER'S STORY.
He Takes Perilous Ride and the Groom
 Shows Appreciation.

 He Takes Perilous Ride and the Groom
 Shows Appreciation.
 Rev. Dr. Britt of Omaha, who off, ciates as editor of The Veteran, dearly loves Q good story and can tell one as we'll as listen to one. Dr. Britt was for years leading minister in the Metho- dist church, but resigned on account of i'll health. He served in the Union ar- my for four years and earned the right to wear badge of the Grand Army of the Republic, and bis service in the ar my makes him peculiarly fitted for his position of editor of the Grand Army organ of the department of Nebraska
 A few days ago Dr. Britt was telling of one of his ministerial experiences. It occurred years ago i'll Illinois.
 On the coldest night in the winter of 1878 Dr. Britt retired to bed in we'll warmed bedchamber and prepared to sleep the sleep of the just. Just as he was dreaming of a donation party that did not eat more than it left he was aroused by a knock at the front door. When he answered the knock, man stepped into the room and shook the snow from his coat.
 I want you to go out near Mott's schoolhouse and marry couple" said the stranger.
 Mott's sehoolhouse was nine miles from town, and Dr. Britt naturally ob- jeeted to travelling that distance through blizzard.
 "Why not wait until morning?" que- ried the doctor.
 It can't be did, parson, :" said the stranger. "The man has got to start for South America in the morning an wants to take wife with him. His girl has steadily refused him up till three hours ago, an as he's got to start tomorrow he wants to marry her an take her along.
 Dr. Britt had been married just long enough to appreciate the situation, and finally consented to go. He wrapped himself up as warmly as possible and took his place on the spring seat of the lumber wagon that was to convey him to tho bridal scene. It was the coldest ride he had ever experienced and re- minded him of that icy night before the Sunday that Donelson surrendered. But the home of the bride to be was finally reached. A few neighbors were gather. ed, and as soon as the preacher was thawed out he performed the marriage ceremony.
 The next morning the bride and groom started for South America and rode to the railroad station in a lumber wagon with Dr. Britt. The doctor went to the station with them, and just be- fore the train departed the groom called him to one side and thrust a sealed en- velope into his hand.
 Dr. Britt thrust the envelope into h1A pocket and hastened home. Calling Mrs. Britt into his study, he opened the envelope to gaze upon his fee.
 The envelope contained a $1 bill and 50 ceut shinplaster. er.--Omaha World. Herald
