 In rural toils, pre-requisiles of ease. 

 Where health comes dancing upon eveiy breeze. 

 If there be man whom good men ought to hale,

 Let him be lucre's or ambition's slave

 Humboldt observes, "cultivated in Chili, at nearly

 cherry, plum, and other fruits, is nearly as remark- 

 able; for not only the fruit and leaves", but the ge- 

 neral habits of the tree, are altpred in these and 

 other species.
