rightly planted on the right soil, and 
then left to themselves, are sure to reward suo- 
ceeding generations.

for our American cousins, and not less for the 
dwellers in Europe generally, since a tract of 
country almost equal in extent to all England 
may be searched for in Germany or even in“ fair’ 
France without finding one such vista through 
a double series of fluted columns as scores of 
our nobles' and even commoners' seats afford. 
But the question to settle here is—how far 
can we succeed in oultivating avenues in a great 
city? Сап we keep ses alive and well in 
mines? Time was when such an idea would 
have been ridiculed. To habituate them even 
to city life might well have been deemed a 
hopeless undertaking by those who knew them 
only in prairie freedom. But first by accident, 
and then by science, the one and the other 
d been cleared and 
oub poin

to painful ciroumstances as was the horse. 
It behoves us, however, to know w precisely to 
what extent such conditions of life must be 
painful in the case of the tree, and what is 
nowadays being done to alleviate at once its own
