Planting a Tree

To be in line with worthy folk,
YOU soon must plant an elm or
oak, beach or maple fair to see,
a single or double tree. When
winters storms no longer roll, go.
get the spade and dig hole, and
bring a sapiing from the woods,
and show your neighbors you're
the goods. What though with
ysArs you're bowed and bent, and
feel your life is nearly spent? The
tree you plant will rear its limbs,
and there the birds will sing their
hymns, and in its cool and CRATE
full shade the girls will sip their
lemonade; and lovers there on
moonlight nights will get Dan
Cupid dead to rights; and ferv1d
oaths and tender vows will go
a-zipping through its boughs.
And folks will say, with gentle
sigh, Long years ago an ancient
guy. whose whiskers brushed
against his knee, inserted in the
ground this tree. Twas but lit
tie sapling then; and he, the kind
est of old men, was well aware
that he'd be dead, long ere its
branches grew and spread, but
still he stuck it in the mold, and
never did his feet grow cold. Oh,
he was wise and kind and brave
lets place nosegay on his
gravel We don't forget such
men as he! Go, then, and plant a
beerbohm tree.

GUIDING Principles.

Equal and exact justice to all men, OF
whatever state or persuasion, religious
or political; peace, commerce and hon
est friendship with all nations-entan-
Cling alliances with none; the support
Of the state governments in all their
rights, as the most competent admins
trations for our domestic concerns and
the surest bulwarks against anti-repub-
lican tendencies; the preservation of
the general government in its whole
constitutional vigor as the sheet anchor
of our peace at home and safety
abroad; freedom of religion; free
dom of the press; freedom of person
under the protection of the habeas cor
pus, and trial by juries impartially Sc
lected-these principles form the bright
constellation which has gone before us
and guided our steps through an age
of revolution and decentralization

Fairgrounds.

| do not know of any better way to
teach a boy to be honorable and
straight than to give him a chance TO
play with his comrades. In the play
ground he learns without any sugges-
ton OF rebellion against instruction
and precept and preaching. He learns
it because he does not want anybody
else to cheat him and is down on
the boy that does not play fair. And
in the long run, because he is down"
on the boy that does not play fair, he
will establish standards of conduct
which we must maintain in the COM
munity and particularly in our great
cities. If there is one thing that we
need more than another it is the con-
slant emphasis among our citizens OF
that spirit of fair play, that willing
ness to give and take, that generosity
in defeat and that lack of aSSertive-
ness in victory which we identify with
true sport and which is learned best of
all in childhood upon the playground
