ARBOR DAY.

Tuno See from the woodland far and wide The garb of nature swiftly torn, And from the lofty mountain sido The leafy robea of beauty shorn. The mighty forests disappear Before the thrifty woodman's bladu ; Each scone so picturesque and dear Is ruffled by his ruthless raid. To counteract destruction's hand, Ea> h idle plot of land go seize— Again adorn the willing land With beautiful aud valued trees. Let youth and beauty fondly plant The tender saplings in the earth ; May Heaven's dew and sunshiue grant Moisture aud warmth without a dearth So that in time to como may we, When you'.h and beauty's bloom docays, Still gathor 'noath the sacred trees Weplantod in our childhood's days. Aud whon tho wintry h.-vul of death Tratisfor ub to tho si.out tombs, May soft wiuds thro' tho rustling leaves Still lado tho air with swoot perfumes. In coming years may swcetjst song Be warbled 'noath tho stately boughs And lovers, frosh,aud blithe, and young Join heart to heart with faithful vows Uqme young and fair, with beauty blest, And join with us in planting treos— Our children's children with delight Shall bloss the day wo planted theso. CiIORU.H To counteract destruction's ruthless hand Keep on planting thro' tho land. H. H. Heati.kv.
