Old and slow-growing wood will, it must be observed, have less shrinkage, and maintain a better bark sur- face, than young saplings or trees of rapid growth. But, irrespective of all questions of durability, is there not something rurally attractive in this unpre- tending porch, whose columns have come from the forest, and whose overarching arms are the arms that overarch 6od*s temples of the wood ? Not lacking, surely, some elements of the beautiful in itself; an^ at the door of a village cler...gyman, with the ivy show- ing its glossy leaflets in wealthy labyrinth, and the convolvulus twining up at the base upon whatever vine-hold may offer, and handing out its purple chali- ces to catch the dews of the morning — is there noth- ing to be emulated in this? Let those who love Nature's simplest graces, answer. On Not Doing AU cU Once. THERE are a great many ardently progressive people who will be shocked by the caption under which I write. The current American theory no OUT-OF-TOWN PLACES, is, that if a thing needs to be done, it shonld be done at once, — ^with railroad speed, no matter whether it regards politics, morals, religion, or horticulture.
