Men say so many pretty things about
nature and the laws of nature; how
just, unerring and kind, yet there is
something to be said rather to her dis
credit. 1t does seem bit hypocritical
and cruel for her to deceive the trees
and put out buds, leaves and blossoms
pretending that spring has come, and
then spring freeze on the buds and
blossoms and kill them.
