Palisades Of the Hudson.

The Palisades are slowly changing.
To the traveller Of a hundred years
ago they were a sheer cliff of clean
rock rising in a perpendicular line from
the waters edge nearly a thousand
feet. Now they are buttressed at the
foot by immense deposits Of broken
rock which frosts have peeled from
the cliff. Gradually this buttress is
growing higher.
The upward growth of this support
ing pile is due to the trees-evergreens
Of various kinds-which have grown
seemingly right out Of the rocks.-New

TIE TALKING TREES.

Once upon a time as the little birds
were making their long journey to the
pleasant warm countries where birds
spend the winter a little robin was left
behind. He had a lame wing, and lame
winged birds never can fly far.
Little robin looked about In the
strange woods where, tired out, he had
to stop. He crept up to a gnarled old
oak tree whose branches scared a hun
dred feet into the air.
please let me stay with you all win
ter" the little bird pleaded. your
leaves will shelter me from the winter
winds"
But the oak was proud. go away"
he said. 81 do not want tramp birds
like you about my branches"
The little bird sped to the beech tree,
but the beech tree made believe not to
hear the robin.
"The maple is so lovely. Perhaps
she Is also kind the little bird said.
And he went to the maple tree to ask
her for shelter. But the maple tree
was not kind.
He few to the little stream along
which the white birch trees cleaned,
but the birches said that they were not
strong enough to take dodgers.
AS, tired and sorrowful, the little bird
started away on his lame wing a dark,
shaggy tree standing on the hill slope
called to him, Here you are welcome
to shelter, little wanderer." 1t was the
tall pine tree with thick needles which
could turn off the toughest winter wind.
Il, too, have a home for you," called
the tall, dark spruce. And the stately
cedar whispered that if the little bird
cared to live near the dwellings of man
not to overlook its sheltering branches
in the garden.
"As for me-" called the little juniper,
though may not be able to offer shell
ter. my berries will provide you with
food, to which you are welcome as long
as you need them"
And SO the little bird stayed with
these kind ones, and every morning
and every evening he sang them a little
song of gratitude.
Old King Winter heard it one day
and learned the birds story. He said
to one of his widest winds:
go out into the woods and strip
those unkind trees of the leaves of
which they are so proud, but the trees
that have been kind and willing to
share what they had with the unfortu-
nate shall always wear their green
leaves all winter"
