He loved each tree, doubtless, as ifit had been his own child. An orchard has a relation to mankind, andreadily connects itself with matters of the heart. The trees possessa domestic character; they have lost the wild nature of their forestkindred, and have grown humanized by receiving the care of man as wellas by contributing to his wants. There, is so much individuality ofcharacter, too, among apple trees, that it gives them all additionalclaim to be the objects of human interest. One is hars...h and crabbedin its manifestations; another gives us fruit as mild as charity. Oneis churlish and illiberal, evidently grudging the few apples that itbears; another exhausts itself in free-hearted benevolence. Thevariety of grotesque shapes into which apple, trees contort themselveshas its effect on those who get acquainted with them: they stretch outtheir crooked branches, and take such hold of the imagination, that weremember them as humorists and odd fellows. And what is moremelancholy than the old apple-trees that linger about the spot whereonce stood a homestead, but where there is now only a ruined chimneyrising out of a grassy and weed-grown cellar?
