THE CHASTE TREE. the garden tree shows the effect of a Good Education, and the trainer's pains are well rewarded by a rich and delicious fruit. Such difference is there between an untaught person who presumes to prune our fruit-trees, and the educated fruit- grower, who has learned their various habits, and knows how to do his work.
