Plont q Tree

By Lucy Larcom

He who plants a tree

Plants a hope.

Rootlets up through fibres blindly grope; Leaves unfold into horizons free.

So man's life must climb

From the clods of time

Under heavens sublime.

Canst thou prophesy, thou little tree, What the glory of thy boughs shall be?

He who plants a tree

Plants a joy;

Plants a comfort that will never cloy; Every day a fresh reality,

Beautiful and strong,

To whose shelter throng

Creatures blithe with song.

If thou could'st but know, thou happy tree, Of the bliss that shall inhabit thee.

He who plants a tree-

He plants peace.

Under its green curtains jargons cease. Leaf and zephyr murmur soothingly;

Shadows soft with sleep

Down tired eyelids creep,

Balm of slumber deep.

Never hast thou dreamed, thou blessed tree, Of the benediction thou shalt be.

He who plants a tree-

He plants youth;

Vigor won for centuries, in sooth; Life of time, that hints eternity !

Boughs their strength uprear; New shoots every year

On old growths appear; Thou shall teach the ages, sturdy tree, Youth of soul is immortality.

He who plants a tree-

He plants love, Tents of coolness spreading out above

Wayfarers he may not live to see.

Gifts that grow are best;

Hands that bless are blest;

Plant ! Life does the rest !

Heaven and earth help him who plants a tree, And his work its own reward shall be.

There ls q Difference

Fear was on the face of Eph Jackson and speed was in his feet as he came dashing down the street in Darktown, and turned the corner like a frightened deer. But the big hand of the burly cop on the corner reached out and got his arm, and pulled him to a sudden halt. Said the officer:

"Wait a minute, boy! Where you goin' so fast?

Replied the frightened one:

"I ain't GOIN' nowhere ! I'm comin' FROM some place!"

Hqrold Picton Wrote:

"God preserve us from middle age, from the years when love seems to us a malady of childhood, and revolt a schoolboy's folly. God preserve us from middle age, from the years when wildness and mystery have vanished, and everything is tame and known. For according to the measure of our knowledge is our ignorance, and according to the measure of our ignorance, our knowledge. Only those to whom all things are a new wonder and a new possibility know something of the secret of life."

Mighr Hcrve Been l'lis

When the driver came back to his beer truck after a Skid Row delivery, he found himself blocked by a shiny new Cadillac. Just for sport he went back into the low licker joint, and asked:

"Anyone in here own this Cadillac that's got me blocked?"

A bleary-eyed bum lifted his head from his stupor, and asked:

"What color is it?"

The Lost

"You say she traces her ancestry back to the Boston Tea Party?"

"Yes. f think her great-grandmother was the last bag they threw overboard."

The Greot Mirror

The world is a great mirror. It refects back to you what you are.

If you are loving, if you are friendly, if you are helpful, the world will prove loving and friendly and helpful to you.

The world is what You are'

The Reql Test of o Mqn

Two druggists were discussing a third. "I understand," said one, "that he has a medal for pharmaceutical research."

'Tes, he has," said the second. "But just between us, don't you truly think he makes his chicken salad a little too salty?"

Smrr I OTOOOTOOOIh Post-wqr U.S.Home

Earl W. Smith, president of the National Association of Home Builders, announces that the 10 millionth post-war private home was started somewhere in the nation during July, and that the home building industry is being asked to commemorate the event by supporting the Homes for Korea drive.

Smith said that figures compiled by NAHB show that 9,992,900 new private nonfarm homes were started in the United States between September l, 1945 and June 30, 1955. "It originally had been estimated that the 10 millionth post-war home would be started this August," Smith said. "lfowever, the 670,000 private starts during the first six months of this year, the l-righest half-year volume in the last five years, advanced the timetable.

"I think it is highly appropriate to observe this unparalleled achievement of the American homebuilding industry by extending a helping hand to our valiant allies, thc South Koreans, who have so superbly demonstrated their determination to resist Communism, and who notv are faced with a shortage of one million homes."

The El Cerrito, Calif., builder said the Homes for Korea drive "offers American builders and their associates in the building field an outstanding opportunity to share their experience, know-how and resources with the South Koreans and, at the same time, contribute to a better understanding of American private enterprise in the Far East."

Smith said that a number of NAHB's 230 local alfiliated home builders' ;rssociations would accord symbolic recognition to the 10 millionth post-war home during National
