HOW IT CAME.
4 tiny shoot peeped out of the ground
And opened wide as it gazed around:
Stretching its dainty leaflets bright
Up-up-up to the sweet sunlight;
Reaching sideways, that ay-this
TO catch the earliest zephyr's kiss;
Climbing higher in baiTny air
TO meet he raindrops glistening there
Spreading its wavy branches wide
Till sOng-birds came their nests TO
hide:
And children gathered in Joyous glee
In the shade of the old oak tree.
All because of hand, they say.
/ That planted "A seed one summers

ARBOB DAY.
The happy idea of designating a
given day when all should be invited
to plant trees. belongs solely to E&-
Governor Morton of Nebraska. The
person who does not plant a tree OF
this day is an exception, as the day ls
observed in more than forty states.
1t is becoming the most interesting,
widely observed, and useful of all
school HOLIDAYS
Arbor Day has fOstered the love of
country, for from it has come the
! beautiful thought Of planting memoir
lal trees in honor of Washington,
Lincoln, and other patriots, and also
Of celebrated authors.
The growth OF mind and heart has
come to the youths who have learned
the little selections in prose and
I poetry Oh the value and beauty of
trees and applied them by the plant
I ing Of trees
/ Habits Of observation bayp been
| formed which have led yout hs in their
walks and plays TO recognize and adj
mire our noble trees. 1t should be
one of the happiest days. For on this
day, instead of destroying trees,
| plants, and shrubs, people ia America
come out to beautify the earth and
make he world richer and more love
/ ~ for all who live Oh it,
Lucy larcom the poet, has said
80 lie who plants a tree plants hope ="
