Our Wild Cherries.

In the early history of America two
species of cherry Were found wild.
The common one grows to large
tree. and was named by the botanists
Cerasus serotna. This is what is us.
ually understood when referring to the
wild cherry. Wild cherry bark and
wild cherry tones Of the drug store are
obtained from this species. There is
another species which seldom makes
a tree of any size, and is commonly
known as a large shrub. This is the
Cerasus Virginiana. 1t is better known
in distinction to the other as the choke
cherry. 1t is more closely related to
the bird cherry. The bird cherry is
known as the Cerasus padus. Since
the introduction of the common cherry
of the old world. birds have carried
seeds from the gardens to the woods,
and this cherry has now become almost
as common in some of the woods
around certain cities as though it We're
indigenous here. This is even called
the void cherry, when speaking com.
paratvely with the garden one. But
the names tend to confusion with the
American wild cherry. Nurserymen, in
order to prevent confusion, have almost
universally adopted the name of MAJ.
zard for the wild forms of the garden

Carry YOur Wealth With Won.

This greatest riches-in fact, all the
wealth that Is of real value-must
centre in yourself. You must be rich
within, not outside Of YOURSELF rich
in the things that financial panics,
fluctuations of trade, accidents by
flood or fire, dishonesty of business
associates, or errors of judgment, can
not rob you of. Your greatest invest
ment must be self-investment; invest
ment in health, in courage, in kindli-
mes in nobility of manhood or wo-
manhood.
Whoever you come in contact with
should be conscious of your wealth; its
influence should radiate from every
pore: it should look out of your eyes
it should eXhale fragrance in your
speech; it should manifest itself in
your deeds; it should shed warmth,
light and comfort within its radius;
it should reach your whole com
munty. Real riches should he like
the wealth of the rose, which filings
out its beauty and fragrance to every
passer-by. There is no stinting of its
, favors, no reserve of sclfishness; all
it has it gives. This is true wealth.

Far away from the racket, the riot,
Two men are asleep and serene
Where only the birds break the quiet
