Morris’ was preceded over a thousand years by oa Chinese poem embodying the same thought. This may. serve, at least, to show the possible universalicy of a desire to preserve certain varieties of trees for cert rin rensons, marks on tue desirability of protet ing from watton de-traction tie magnificent forests, which, io living; bestitify and adorn our mountiins and fovt hills, From all sides comes the same-testimony—thut there is everywhere observable a most inexeusabls carelessness (to use uo) ‘harsher term) in regard t) cctting down tie timber. Large, handsome ¢rees are felled, and if vot foand to suit to aviecty the needs of the destroyer, the whole mass of wood is abatidow d and a mcr» de.i able tree selected, Thus, thousunds and thousunds of decaying gisutsof the forests sirew our mouutiin sides, and what with demands for fuel, buildivg tmaterial and «tier necessary uses, the heaven-appointsd condensers of the rain-cloads are fust vanishing from view, touch to our detriment as » Stuts, and will coutinue to do #0 unless some mensures are taken to prevent their needless destruction, There is one brigit sido tu tiis picture, surely, und tant restore ber lost raiment, and ali about us where ouce stood stalwart forest trees, tiere is now a vigorous growth of young forest pines, cedars and firs, which will sovn—attiin a hight s.fficieat to compensate for the demolishment_ of. the original forests. But notwituctanding all this, it-is sad to see, even in régard to these young growths, evidences of wanton destruction. Inu a stroll just outside of our own city, one may see tree after trea hacked, up. ' parently just for the ‘fan of tie thing;’’ sometimes, .perhups, wit the Washingtonian idea of seeing how a vew butchet can cut. If this goes on, and these trees are cut down, even for fuel, before they can bear cones, it is possible that the next geferation may reside on tye . quite a sensation, the Kitle ones enbarrenent of hills, unless there should be a spirited revival on the subject of tree-planting, and, by the way, tuis is a matter which should engage tire most serious thought of our people, Arboriculture is oue of the most remunerative pursaits, bat, uvhappily for us, as Oulifornians, it is not as speedy in itsreturns as some ether kinds of business. Yet, even in regard to this, there is not the delay which some might imagine. Euealyptue or Australian gum trees, suitable for plauts, can be obtained for five cents apiece, and rerbaps fess. Inu seven or eight years they will. be woith at least one dollar each, Trees which Gen, Strutton, of Alumeda county, planted ten or fifteen yeare ago, are now being cut for telegraph poles and railroad ties, and the wood.ig of great value for various purposes, besides being well adapted for fuel. A very intelligent writer on.this subject, in alluding to the profit uf tree-planting, says: “The profit of timber plantations must become greater euch year, as the forests of the country are consumed. l'or ordinary fuel alone, the two cords per acre, which may be yearly obtained, would be a constant revenue of $10 in many portions of the country, ($15 in rome purts of the State) and when good timber tees Are raised, which may be employed in the’ innumerabie manufactories of tools and machinery, for eooperage, ships, buildings, carriuges aud cabinet work, the annual revenue would be severul times greater.”’ He also estimates that if the planting of timber belts was universally adopted taroughout the” country, they would possess a money value of $800,000,000, though occupying only a twenty-fifth patof the improved a At a meeting of .the Board of Trustees, held on Thuraday evening last, Messrs.
