0. Yiir fate it but the otnmon fate of all; m
Vt. l uiiungled joys here to no man befall. .
II. Nature to im.li allot- her projcr sphere,
It. Kortune make folly her eeuliar tare; ,

Xothintr add"? more to thecomforts and
Attractions of a town than slr.-.-t tiers.
Their value is almost nnivervillv con
ceded, yet it is only within a lew years
that organized e()',,its have been made to
plant trees, and improve, the ircm-rul ap
peal a'tce of towns. In m viy of tin- most
progressive towns are villain i:iipio.--nieiit

not only in pl.-intimr trees and in imp.-ov-int;
tin surrounding's of tf;e ho-in-, tint
art; exertinc; by their work an ediic.-.tin
Kwer tlitit i- of jjretit value. The work
of improvement in town wavsaud privat
grounds is contagious. Many are n-a Iv
to improve their places if attention is
called to 1 tie need of it, audit thi y can
Fee an e;i.-v way of hrineiiii if about. A
fain row of tre. s in front of neihl sir's
"rounds is very likely to .stir up thos- in
the vicinity without trees to plant, and a
town with str.-cts lined with line shade
trees exerts an intlu. nee o:i s-tirioiitplin
towns in the direction of tree planting.
The rock ursujrar maple is one of the
most popular trees at tie preer.t rime
for street planting ; it is, like :dl maples,
free from insect enemies, and does not
draw the vitality fnun the soil for a t'reat
distance aut it, as does the elm; tic;
limbs are inclined upward away fiotu
carriages, and the autumn colorings are
Verv Jiorireous.
The American elm is the ileal ftreet
tree in "Towth and habit, for it will (.-phv
rapidly in any piyni noil, pushes its
branch, s alove nil snrrotuidins. and
forms a perfeit arch over a street, and
allows suthcient sunlight to pas- Ihr.aii'ki
to keep the streets free from ;:o-itii and
dat n it less. If it was not lor the ttxhau.-r-in
jM.wer of the rrots on all soil within ;t
lon; distance, and the ravages of the i-iin-ker
worm on th; foliage, it would be the
perfect street tree.
vVe have many other trees as valnaole
as the rock maple tluit should be pku;tL-d
along our streets.
It is a mistake to plant only one varie
ty, for it is ipiite possible that some dis
'ass or insect may attack it and alcstroy
or seriously injure all the trees in ato-.vn-thip.
Frequently, in late years, th- rock
maple has tic-en attacked by a disease
6imilarto the pear blight: a hmb cov
ered w ith foliage will wither and die and
it is not rare, to see a whole tree "o in
this way. if this trouble should become
universal through nnme favoring causes,
imagine the havoc that word J be ma ! in
many towns; but if tlu-re was r. larn
variety in this shade trees the dc-s'.ra..-tion
won Id be coutlned to tli-j varieties
ariected.
The Norway, pearlet and silver-leaf
maple r.ra aluablu for street planting.
The Norway is on of the few lairopeaa
trees that t-uein to be lone; lived in our
climate : it has a rounder head aaddarkvr
