MIS 1. I a5 is the pleasure of a garden, 
sition, de ke 
pleasure is тне Pede should it be 
such a window with northern aspect it is delight- 
ful from time to time to watch the sun go round 
the blossoms. No doubt the morning sparkle 
has its delicious freshness, but just now, before 
the trees show more a shower of emerald

y as when the 
's rays cross their scarlet petals, shining as 
through an old cathedral window pane. After

is surely needed in garden and pasture land,

not yet “in verdur clad.” The pale grey 
aedes of the Ash, with full black buds at their 
very ends, and as it were a filagreework of 
blossom, half brown and dusky green beneath

losel
