Trees. —Spue all that are standing, and set out one, wherever there is a spate spot. Spring is hardly worth being thankful for, in a region bereft of budding and leafing trees. A land without them would look like a human head without hair. Spring is breaking out upon us early this year, and I trust the people will take a universal fancy to setting out trees. A few flowers, nnd considerable many shrubs, but ever so many trees. He who sets out n tree, that lives and fliuislics, is a common bencfaclor, and covers a multitude of sins > and he who cuts on« down wantonly, is guilty of a breach of the peace, and has done a deed against the beau'y, if not " the dignity of the Stati." He oll'ends against every body—foi a tree is a public blessing, anil cannot be appropriated, l'very one can get a glance at it, and experience the relief it affords to the weary and jaded vision, whether ho owns house or land—or not. ■« Woodman spare that tree."— Herald of Freedom.
