THE WIDOW'S VII rE
During the winter of 1846 1 went with
John H W Hawkins and Dr Charles Jew
ett, to Woodfiird. where we were both to
hold temperance meetings, and organize a
Washingtonian Society. The weather was
favorable, the sleighing excellent, and the
meetings were larl►e and of the most enthusi
astic character. People came how many
miles around, and we had the pleasure of
seeing a large and vigorous society springing
info exivenre.
On ins first dii; while Hawkins was tell.

the full sense -of the word, for a treeless
country ie , the equivalent of
.an arid desert

ty. Stin says f
"Throughout the Union timber is being'
out in order to supply the.enortuous demand,
without any regard to, the,efleot of thus de
nuding the country.
,This is particularly
true of the Atlantic States.' 'As trees dis
appear, especially from thd heady of the
great water courses, ' whence much of our
lumber comes, the rivers lessen involuate, i
the annual fell of rain throu g hout the clear
ed districts diminishes, sod as a 6114N - time°
the agricultural produot is reduced -' ' Per
featly accurate statistics show such results as
these in European countries, from large porgy
thins of which the standing wood has been
swept away.
Should the destruction of timber in this
country continue with its present rapidity.
and no provision be trade for the planting of
forests to replace the loss, all the states will
probably become a rainless region le Ati
ems, 'where crops Cm be grown only by =
aid of expeosivetartifieial irrigation of the

the United States is commons. One hun
dred and fifty thonsand acres of the best
timber is out every year to, supply the de

expenditure in wood is thirty-gight millions,
of dollars. In a single year the !Scotto:Alves

try represents an automat of nearly fi500,.
