FORESTRY ASSOCIATION.
Meeting at Ganoga Lake.

An important meeting of the Coun-
Gil of the Pennsylvania Forestry hsso-
citation was held recently at Genoga
Lake, Sullivan County, all of the
members being the guests of Col. r.
Bruce Ricketts,, the owner of the
greater part of North Mountain, upon
the summit of which Ganoga Lake is
situated.
In this part of Sullivan county is to
be found one of the few remaining
tracts of primeval forest, watered by
unfailing springs flowing since re-
mote glacial period. A forest such
as this is becoming SO rare in the
United States that, with the buffalo,
it is likely to become IN the near fu-
ture thing of the imagination, unless
immediate steps are taken forspreser-
vation.
DR.. Rothrock gave a summary of
the work which is being done in Penn
sylvania by the State authorities and
by single individuals, and also called

THE VINE ON THE SPOUT.

oasp In the heart of the city,
ohe washes and irons all day;
~ tired old hands are shaky and thin,
And her hair, once yellow is gray.
~ stands near a window to labor,
And every few moments looks out
Aad murmurs: You're mine," to the small
sdckly vine
Mat's climbing the old water spout.
~ waters It wen in the twilight,
And tenderly touches the leaves
- they nod in the zephyrs that sometimes
get lost
Do far from the grass and the trees
- knows every tendril II carries,
Bach bud is a care, without doubt,
~ she lovss-with a love that is sent from
above
mat vine on the old water spout.
- Is wrinkled and ragged and tired.
Her children have left her know,
~ night the battle of life once again
ohe fought it for them long ago.
Htendlsss, alone, uncherished.
Her mother-love will not die out.
- she croons an old tune, all the long att
srnoon,
To the vine on the old water spout.
4 may be the world doesn't need her,
II may be the world doesn't care
sor the old lonely soul whose eyes are so
dim,
Whose voice is as thin as her hair
"A may be the world has forgotten
And yet haven't a doubt
fod planted that seed-for He saw there

For the vine on the old water spout!
