"~'W S nothing beautiful escapes the e3e of the poet, numerous have been the tributes paid to this noble tree. It is loft)' and abun- ' d-xnt in the forests of the Eastern States, and not unfrequently found throughout all sections of the United States, as well as ^ in Europe. It grows straight and tall, rising sometimes to ^ {^ the height of one hundred feet on the banks of the Ohio, with a tiunk nine feet in circumference. It has a gray, unbroken bark ind long, sweeping branches, but not so pendulous as those of the elm, and is scarcely equaled by any other tree in the shade it affords. Cattle are fond of its leaves in spring, when they are very tender, with a slight acid flavor. The nuts are partially triangular, and, though troublesome to eat, are sweet and nutritious.

And not for worlds would I that he For love should weakly eager be. — Mrs. Eliza S. Raiidolfh. OHE starts, for she doth hear ^ My loving footstep near; She turns to bid me stay. With cheeks that burn for joy. With looks half kind, half coy- This is her heart's sweet way! So am I nothing loath. But answer oath for oath. And linger lovingly In silken chains — ma mie! — Edzvard Renaud. -fci^. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digital
