The utmost care Is taken of this
wonderful tree, for every tender young
root, as It begins to fall like a sta

most shapeless mass by mis- time, and

though they do reach an enormous
size-with hundreds Of roots-In some

is bringing forth her strongest proof OF
literary genius, although her sweet
verses are very dear to many, and it was
while living here that many OF her

does, to every emotion of the human
heart. Lovers of good fiction will find
