The Tragedy of the Trees.


The ravages of the elm tree pest and
the leopard moth among the fine old
trees around Harvard university give
cause for much apprehension. Should
dormitory burn down the institution
has enough friends to replace it, but
when a stately tree dies it is gone for
ever. There have already been many
of these tragedies, and more are threat
ened. This is more noticeable in the
parklike environment of the university.
Along the Hudson, in the vicinity Of
Poughkeepsie, it is the naples that are
suffering. This is something new be-
cause the naples have been more gem
orally immune than most of the other
familiar trees, unless it may be the
oaks. The chestnuts in Prospect park.
Brooklyn, have almost all died and the
pine tree blight is working overtime in
many places. To arrest any or all OF
these ravages Is one of the most serious
problems of practical science. The
choicest treasures of the landscape are
In danger at hundreds of points.

Once More

Once More.
Once more has Autumn's magic brush
Made beautiful the earth.
And painted every dying leaf
More lovely than at birth.
Once more october's sunlight falls
ON fields of golden corn,
Aud tow ring stacks of gather'd grain.
And meadows, lately shorn.
Once more, afar from haunts of men.
I hear the Bob White calling:
Where wild pluus swcetcn in the sun,
And brown, ripe nuts are falling.
once more the blackbirds' notes I hear.
In chorus loudly swelling:
And the red squirrel scods at me.
From out his hidden dwelling.
Once more, where laughing waters run.
And blooms the bright frost flower.
My heart is full Of thankfulness.
To the Almighty Power.
