WHAT OF rHETREE9

People coming here from the east
are arrested by the conspicuous absence
of trees. The earth seems wanting and
fat; the eye finds no resting place. a
little reflection viii show an intimate
relationship between man and tree. He
did not spring from It, but ne has taken
the tree to express himself, and, esPec-
tally, to mark his habitation.
What did the writer mean when ne
spoke of Farragut's wooden ships and
hearts of oak?'' The oak stems the
storms and fights against the elements.
and to see one broken in the struggle is
pathetic. Then the tree is taken for
sorrow: the Jews in captivity hung their
harps upon the weeping willows. The
mistletOe cOmfOrted the Druids; the poet
in trying to smybOlize friendship calls
it a sheltering tree; and the custom of
hanging Christmas gifts upon the ever
green is always new.
The tree bears US upon and across the
waters; it covers Us IN our homes; burns
to make US warm; we feed upon its fruit,
and breathe the fragrance of its blossoms
and call them beautiful. What were

beauty. They make for our success.
If wooded countries are made arid by
removing forests, what OF this arid
country partly forested! Wherever a
hearty attempt has been made to set out
trees, coupled with a little care, the
good has been a hundred fold Take
heart for the tree; beauty your home
and therefore your life and your chill
dren's lives. The cherry, plum, ash,
and honey locust, are well adapted to
this altitude; yet many kinds may be
grown by proper care.
