Planting For Posterity.

There is something nobly simple and pure in a taste for the cultivation of forest trees. It argues, I think, a sweet and generous nature to have this strong relish for the beauties of vegetation and this friendship for the hardv and glorious sons of the forest. Then? is a grandeur of thought connected with this part of rural economy. He who plants an oak looks forward to future ages and plants for posterity. Nothing can be less selGsh than this.— Irving.
