instructive e^say on its practice and benefits. He puts into the mouth of " the Laird of Dumbiedikes, " tho advice, " Be aye sticking in a tree, Jock ; it will be growing while you are sleeping. " But Walter Scott had no American soil, to plant his trees upon ; nor do the grandest forest parks of Scotland show a tithe of the luxuriance and majesty of our American forests. Could he but have seen the variety, the symmetry, and the vast size of our oaks, and elms, and ever- greens, a new element o...f descriptive power would have grown out of the admiration they had created within him ; and he would have envied a people the possession of such exhaustless resources as we enjoy, to embellish their homes in the best imaginable manner, with such enduring monuments of grace and beauty. To the miscellaneous, or casual reader, such course of remark may appear merely sublimated nonsense. No matter ; we are not upon stilts, talking down to a class of inferior men, in a condescending tone, on a sub- ject above their comprehension ; but we are address- ing men, and the sons of men, who are our equals although, like ourself, upon their farms, taking their share in its daily toils, as well as pleasures and can perfectly well understand our language, and sympa- thize with our thoughts.
