LANCASTER, APRIL It, I8M.
The Literature of "Arber Day."
The very general popular observance of
Arber .Day by the public schools et this
city shows what can be done by energy aid
enthusiasm applied te ft geed' cause. Tee
actual number of trees planted in Lancas
ter te-day will probably net materially
affect the rain fall or ether meteorological
conditions of this locality ,nor even increase
its fruit supply ; but' the . wholesemo Benti"
menta inspired by the occasion and the
pregnant thoughts evoked by the celebra
tien cannot fall te popularize a subject of
great moral and material interest.
In its economical aspect,, forestry has
been forcibly presented' by many writers,
and what they have advanced in support
of its supreme utility has net been gain
said. In the Western states, where the
treeless prairies, with fruitful soil nnd
yielding rich harvest, have been exposed
te the fury of storms and the lulck ex
tremes of weather that all bare countries
are subject te, tree planting has received
scientific attention ; and the shelter of his
farm by the forest and hedge-rows is a
matter of concern te the Western
farmer scarcely secondary te his
house -reef and stock shed. But in
this land of .advanced agricultural methods
and of plenty the .waste of the timber
lands, accompanied by greater extremes of
temperature and drought, by the drying
up of our springs, the diminution of our
streams and the decay of our orchards, has
stolen upon us almost unobserved, but
with alarming pace. Our townsman, Simen
P. Eby, esq., pointed out these things very
forcibly in a pamphlet printed some years
age, which was noticed In the iKTEfxt iKTEfxt
eencek at the time, andJjis Intelligent
ODservatiens nave .beerr-veriflcd bv the ex-
Ce"T!M0TOert of hundreds of our
most intelligent agriculturists.
Nevertheless,the repair of this waste, the
replenishment of the weeds and orchards,
has been -very tardy. It is such a slight
job te fell the forest, and se tedious a task
te grew its successor; and se many who
plant the tree and vine can scarcely hepe
te eat of, their fruit that the selfishness and
impatience et man manifest themselves in
ruthless destruction without regard te the
future. "Fer every consideration ,; there
fore, the Institution' and celebration of.
Arber Day make an event worthy of r the
interest it has created here ; and the litera
ture of the subject which is presented in
our reports can hardly fail te make a last
ing impression en the public mind.
With the rare felicity of expression
which characterizes his addresses, State
Superintendent Iligbee points out the geed
uses of mere frequent cemmunings with
nature, who speaks" a vurieus language ''
te him that seeks her Becrets and
woes her in the hiding places of
the hills and weeds. In the conclud
ing passages of his admirable address the
state superintendentjets fall seme hints
that the twenty-two thousand teachers of
the state should take into serious consider
ation. The trouble with tee many of
them is they de net find "tongues in trees
ana books in the running" brooks," and
hcrave neither the taste ne'r the ability
te take their scholars out among the spring
ing beauties of the venial season and in
terpret the lessens of the flowers and rocks,
and streams and trees, which have
mere of wisdom and of troth
than patent prepared tex't works en
" hygiene and physiology, with speclal.ref-
erancp te the effects of alcoholic drinks'and
narcotics en the human .stomach." The
heart of childhood, cultured with associa
tions such as the superintendent directs at
tention te, will gain something that is net
given te the books te teach, and alas ! te
few taskmasters te impait ; but everything
that tends te lift popular education toward
that level is te be hailed by these who
would inspire the youthful mind with the
best aspirations.
. In the parody upon Shakespeare's Seven
Ages, which Dr. Higbee quotes ' in his ad
dress, will be lccegnized one of his own
compositions, which he wrote thirty years
age for The Guardian ; and When he him
self was a teacher in the public schools of
this city he will be remembered as one who
loved te fellow the Conestoga in its wind
" ing courses, who knew the places where
the yiA flowers grew, who, caught the first
glimpse of the nrbutus peeping out from its
leafy blanket, and who in frequent com cem
munings with nature- "in her visible
forms " learned, te the profit of his after
career,the lessens which he new so'fercibly
impresses upon ethers.
TUSRE seems tq'be'aema dispute in
fhlkdelpbia between .the 'controller and
the county commissioners as te hew the
signatures of the latter functionaries shall
be appended te bills whlch'need them, se
as te command the eillcial, respect of the
controller and a warrant ser tlieir pay
ment. The commissioners, who think they
ought te get (3,000 a year for net attending
te their duties, want te let a clerk sign
thehr names for them, or at most that their
initials should Buillce. The controller is of
opinion that their signatures are needed.
That seems te be reasonable,
A wide-awake member of the state
legislature calls attention te the fact that
the bills which propose te put into effect
the constitutional previsions regulating
railroads de net include the prohibition
of free passes, and the punishment et these
who issue and of these who use them.
Happy thought. Let the constitution en
that point be re-enactsd, ulse,with fit pains
and penalties.

HKrnESENTATivK Colbern told his Re
publican friends in the Heuso the ether day
that he was ashamed of the record the Heuse
bad made, and warned them that the people
Would held the party 'responsible for It If
the Ilarriaburg legislators would only con
fine themaelvea te the windy utterance,
which an Indulgent preas irtve te the public
thelr deiBgs would gtve the people, of the
alate 'very llttle concern. But occasionally
they gt BOme of their foolish bills far enough
along te have them passed, and theti thelr
censtliaenta begin te appreciate what an ab-
turd'bodyef men they are. The aelentlfle
omperance Instruction law would be suffici
ent te condemn a far better legislature than
Pennsylvania possesses. If It would save
Itself from similar foolish exhibitions, it
should pass the appropriation bills and
promptly adjourn. i

Tirev scorn te have queer kind et con
stables In Reading. We observe by the
court reports that they actually take seriously
the matter or making thelr sworn returns te
court, and report a long list of streets and
alleys as "nuisances," "In bad condition,"
('dangerous," "impassable," "In urgent noed
6f repair," and the like. If our constables
ieuld de such a thing, poeplo would really
hlnk they wcre net nltogethor deaf, dumb
and blind. Hut then they must linve seme
rcgnrd for the footings of the. street commis
sioner nnd street committee, who spent a
Rear's appropriation In six months, and who
left the city, new of nil times when street
work needs te be dene, with net n dollar In
the city treasury te de It with.
ANn the water appropriation, tee, is entire
ly cxlmusted. Tlie works are running en
trust. Netu ithstnndlng the municipal credit
is geed, the poeplo who run the city gov
ernment have many things te learn ; and the
chief of theso Is te pay as you go and te keep
the expenditures within tbe appropriations.
Tiik unusually sevcre winter and the late
ness of spring are n source of exceeding dis
comfort te theso who nre unfortunate enough
tobealUIcted with lung diseases. Te these
a Pittsburg physician makes seme sugges
tions that ere worthy of note. He seys that
imperfect respiration is at tlie bottom of
much .trouble. In such a cuse he tells the
patient toswell out the whele chest full and
round by n deep Inspiration, elevating and
throwing back the shoulders ; and then,
when he has gotten into his lungs the lest
atom of nlr possible, te held it In tightly ter a
time, and then te let it efT slowly, blowing
out overy atom of It if he possibly can by lor ler lor
clable expiration, drawing the shoulders for
ward and pressing in the chest te the
smallest pessible compass, thus throwing out
almost ail of the residual nlr, and all this
through the noie, with mouth tightly closed.
Let him take a half a dozen or inore such
forced Hplratlens a dozen times a day, and
he will seen double his vital rapacity and
relieve himself of his supposed chest trouble
Such forced rosplratlen will cempel overy air
cell pessible te freely admit wIioIcheuio air
Inte the llttle spaces and te expel It also, and
seme air cells that de net often perform their
functions health 11 j will be compelled te de
se.
The uuusually rose-tlntod views of the
Prince of Wales' progress through Ireland
cause suspicions te arise that they are net

Op all the eccentric people who Insist upon
writing wills te puzzle people who llve after
them, a New Hampshlre Yankee named
Jeslali F. Twins is certainly entitled te a high
place. The previsions of his will wero that
his funeral music should be by a brans bend,
which should be paid MO for its services ;
that his body should lie burled under a
clump of balm-giiead trees, which he set out
a few years age ; that (20 should be expended
for peanuts and candy with which te treat
the mourners ; that his wife should have halt
of his property, his six children $2 each, and
that $1,000 be held in trust forever for the
purpese of educating his children's childrcn-
In generations te ceme. The judge bofero
whom it was presented for prebate promptly
decided that the Btate knew better hew te
distribute the estate than the cranky testator,
and ordered that the division of the property
be under the Intestate laws ,of New Hamp

April the HUtcenth, INKS.
' I have reduced te writimr what I new
Scad, that, being printed, you may at greater
ehnire read it ever, and make its suggestions
a part of your thoughtful Arber Day medita
tion hereafter.
All of us, whether young or "old, ere
blessed by Ged with many teachers. Los Les Los
teons of almost infinite purport are spread out
before us te be read, if haply we have eyes te
sea Voices of most profound significance
fro filling the vast orb of nature te be heard,
f haply we haye ears te hpar. By Book Boek Beek
ing we may find, if we have hearts te under

"" brooks-
Sermons In stones, and geed In everything."
' First our own Mnther-tenaue confronts us
at the very cradle, accompanying the loving
glance of her, the remembered tones of
whose lullaby grew dearer as the years go
by. This mother-tongue continues with us
overy hour as we omerge from infancy te
youth, and from youth te manhood e1 wo
manhood. We hear it at home and abroad,
en the playground and in the street. Every
where, and at all times, It meets us, and by
hidden processes enters Inte all our affections
into every niovement or our luner spirit
giving prompt and proper utterance te what
etherwise would be silent nnd alone. Who
can rightly moesuro its pewerT Hew long
would be the struggle of each ene cither te
grope into any expression which might lie
intelligible te ethers or te rocelve tlie
theueiit of ethers without such bend of com
municatien What a Ungerlng proceduro
it would be te gain or te retain the thousand
concepts which new, through It, confront
us at the very threshold of our mental ac
tivity T Se much doth the soul, through the
ear, drink In from our common mother methor mether
speech. But thore are ether equally common elo ele
menu which challenge us through tlie same
sense organ, touching net se much the under
standing as the deeper hcnrt'llfe of our being.
Tbe plalntive miner of the myriad autumn
insecut, rising as en audlble mist from dewy
meadows and lanes ; tbe murmuring hum of
bees in the hedges and amidst the linden
bloom ; tlie playful whispering of the fercat
leaves as they wee the winged winds ; the
brook "making sweet music with the
enamelled stones " the Joyous song of the
mated birds ; the rush and rear of the moun
tain torrent and storm, and heaven's thunder
ous bass as It rolls echoing from the sombreus
clouds ; allthis,and thousands mere, challeng
ing us all the seasons through, afTect the soul,
drawing it Inte endless fields of investigation
or into infinite realms or Imaginative medita
tion. If, then, through daily use by conversation
and study, we familiarize ourselves tnoreand
inore with our vernacular, and thus com
mune with tlie iheughU or men, se also
should we inore and inore famlliarlze our our
selves with the voices of nature speaking te
us from every nlde throughout our lives, and
thus cemmune with the rational, living soul
of the universe.
But the world of nature, which corresponds
throughout te the world of spirit, which is
Its source, Is net approbended by tbe spirit of
man tnreugn tne our nniy. ane nas a ian ian
guage addressed te the eye as well. She
finds an utterance net only in Round, but alne
through forms and colors of endlesi variety
and gradation, the mystorleus pewer of
which no ene can fully fathom. Just Imagine
for a moment a voiceless and blank earth, a
mere barren emptlness stretching out before
us, the stlonce of death breeding ever tlie
world. Hew, as such chaos, could we come
Inte any sympathy with it? Hew could it
touch us, nnd, while poneiratlng, thrill the
human spirit T
But add the hum of insects ; tlie song of
birds ; the utterances of the tnany-tengued
waters nnd winds ; the voice of Jehevah
breaking tlie cedars, and making them skip
like a calf, and dividing the flames of tire as
It thundoreth upon the waters and shaketh
the wildernes-H and what a change 1 Hew
near it comes te our soul 1 Hew it reaches
into our heart, and takes held of the deepest
sympathies of our spirit 1 New add te this
the varying forms of groce and beauty; the
grass and mess ; the flowering shrubs and
clambering vines ; the waving forests ; the
painted clouds ; the azure of heaven's vault ;
the rosy-fingered dawn ; the crimson mist
of the setting sun and dewy twilight; and
mark hew our whele being is drawn out and
all our aflToctiens aroused Inte an anthem of
rapturous thanksgiving.
New that we may lightly appreciate all
this, and rccognize aim feel Its pewer, it is
necessary that we take every opportunity te
enter the weeds and fields, and study mture
in her own rotreals ; te catch with erect car
the first Uirebblngs of spring, when the
foetid wlld-turnlps and llvorwerts bloom, or
the shad-berry and the dogwood begin te
whiten the bronzed hlllside, erall the wind
ing weed valleys are purpling witli the
juufts-trccs; te watch with kconest oye the
new llfe thrilling through the awakened
grass and softened mess, and gilded willow
tops ; te come by an intelligent insight and
sympathizing leve lntoclesointercourso with
such blessed companions of our life, and ro re ro
celeo with siisccptlble spirit the tbensand
lessens around us, whose proper conning
fills the mind with profitable lore, and the
heart with ever Increasing delight
Kvery child should come te knew the
flowers that frighted Preserpina lets fall
from DIs's wagon.
"daffodils
That ceme bofero the swallow Ourcx, and take
The winds of March with beauty; violets, dim,
Hut Bwceter than the lids of June's eyes,
Or Cythcrca's bicath."
Every child should be familiar with our
shadowy hills ; should knew our trees, their
names, and forms, and uses,
" The sayilng pine ; the cedar proud and tall ;
The vtne-prepp time: the poplar never diy;
The bnllder eake, sole king of ferretts all ;
The asplne geed for stares; the cypresse
funcrall;"
should knew the shrubbery through which
tlie pheasants whir, and in which the
thrushes hide, nnd which, tli rough sunny
summer, strew the messy paths thick with
geld and porphyry ; should feel a hallowed
kinship with earth as she reaches out from
the womb of silent darkness heavenward
Inte light and life.
In tiie vegetable world, the lower forms
have but little indh lduality. They ailect us
in tlieir general and massive character alone.
The blotto of grass or stem of mess catches
net the soul's glance, butthelawner meadow
or messy banks or brooks, nnd quiet ferny
nooks wncre tbe red partridgo-berrles uestle
and the arbutus hides her smiles. Vet the
Impression Is strong and definite, and makes
Itself felt at ence in arousing our sympathy.
'In public parks and private yards, bow seniy
the sunlight sleeps en the shaven lawn ; and
bow the grounds surrounding a school
building, If sedded and rightly trimmed, tell
at ence of that dellcate laste and sense of
beauty which should, and which dees,culture
the attontlen and heart of childhood.
Shrubbery, In the scale of the vegetable
world, rises higher, and gains In its ascent
much greater Individuality, and thus cemes
nearer the sympathies of mankind. The
lilac, with Its fragrant clusters shading the
nursery window, blooms en in the soul,
when, exiles from home, our gray hairs and
trembling nerves show bow near we are te
the crumble and dust of the grave. Hew
many tender memories slumberlesss still, at
once areuse, until tears dim our vision when
we linger again where "the Juicy hawthorn
grows adewn the glade I" The sweet-brier,
y the woodbine, perch, grows sweeter still as
It recalls the sainted mether who watched its
growth, and whose face Is new mero precious
even than ln.cbildhoed.
Hut U10 very acme of the vegetable world,
its height of exaltation, where it almost sets
itself from tbe motionless clods benc.ith it,
and moves Inte the sunlit air, and rejoices in
Its freedom, is the tusk. Here the greatest
Individuality In this realm is reached. The
wide, masslve forests, it is true, have their
varied language ; but tbe single tree in itself
cemes near te us, having its name and history,
standing out almost ns a personal companion
of our llfe. Instinctively we impersonate
when speaking of it It seems te be a
hamadryad. Itpfayswith the breeze, and
wee) the birds te Itsgroen retreats, llbreaats
the storm, and flings its arvis defiaut in the
face of the winds. When tbe mountains and
hills break into singing, the trees of the fields
clap their hands. (Isa.ab, 65, 12.)
It is net simply its shapely form, Its cool
ing shade, or its use for tills or that ; but its
whole Interior llfe, its seeming effort te break
away from the fixedness of earth, te osseclato
itself with the air and light and lire which
are above, te change with tbe changing
seasons as though It had a heart te feel and
sympatliUe with all around it; it Is this that
draws it se near te man's heart, that fixes it
se humanly In all his affections anil associa
tions, that gives te It a sort of brotherhood, a
tenderness mero easily felt than deflned.
