old man with hoary heard and hair,
"Good eveniug, wo warn, la sv your
flower3 and trees, Mr. Smith."
"Oh, but you can't! Not this lime
of night! My floweis are nil asleep
didn't you know that. I wouldn't
disturb my flowers after Ihey nod
their heads for reposo when the bun
goes down," cried the old gentleman,
smiiing at us yet wit.: loicorn in h'.'i
eyes. "If you com ? In th day-time
I'll he very glad lo show them a'l
to you. Hut not at nlght-not when
they sleep."
His manner was the tender brood
ing of a nurse evor a sleeping child,
so we apologized and my companion
explained, "this lady doubled that
any trees except box-elde a and lo
custs and fir grow around htio, so-"
"Oh, but they do! Most every

at sun-rise tomorrow a.-1 1' II show
you my trees. Tics? V'hy, 1 can
give you any kind you want see

grow. What? sell you In n.id-suni-mer?
Oh. ho. ho! Whv. don't you
can read half the good books no,
nor a tenth that are written. How
old do you think I am?
"Seventy?'' I hazaided, politely,
nut he relieved me with a hearty
"Ho, no! I'd be a-shamed to be only
seventy. I'm eighty two years old,
and there's no much I want to do
rnislng thin?E, and reading, thai I
want to live five hundred yeai3
more. Say, do ym know, I'm dis
pleased with those senators! Yes
I am. They .nude peace too easv."
So we talked pjip.ics a whilo, the,'
he played for us, sweet, simple old
tunes on banjo and violin, nnd thn,
as it was growing late and wo ro.-e
to go he filled my arms wi'.h sweet
peas and flox from vases in his own

bade us' ,a cordial good night, but
paused at tho-. dooT. t0 say, , "thcres
