interesting garden, I doubt if it ever yields quite so 

 ^n of frets, sturdy a satisfaction as the culture of 

 trees. It is the difference between bring- 

 ing up a girl and a boy, one all light, 

 color, sweetness, a thing to be cherished 

 and tenderly sheltered and nurtured ; the 

 other less outwardly winning, more obsti- 

 nate in development, more independent 

 and manly in habit, but more worth while ; 

 a thing of positive pecuniary value when 

 well grown ; and formed, when symmetry 

 and breadth are fully attained, to be of 

 service in sheltering the weak and weary 

 who seek protection in what Mrs. Gamp 

 would call " this wale."
