To ' ta5teiul!y group trees and

cels in, is as itnportaat as knowiDpr
all about the. soil, climate and
pi'-per kinds of plant. The planter
must be thoroughly acquainted

works, as the artist with the pig

know the heights niid sizes to which
the trees viil intimately attain.

t be .Vi'isldercd, m artis'ic group
ing, and it is therefore"' iuiposaitiie
to teach much by the pen on-such
a subject. A few, general rules
may be uselitl for - planting small
gardens. Always ascertain the
maximum heisrht of a tree, so that
yon may avoio.-tlie irequent error j
of piacing a tall one too near tne
house, so as to overshadow it and
cause unhealthy dampness aud
gloom. Large or tall trees must
never be placed so as t intercept
the view of any twautiful object or
landscape. Allow for the full
spread of the branches, and plant
nothing near them of a permanent
nature that would in course of time
be under tHeir hade, except dwarf
uodergroth, such as ivy or St.
Johns wmrt. The' observance of
this rul wouid prevent the too
prevalent practice of overcrowding
tor the -sake ol immediate effect.
If a bate 9pot is to be planted with
large trees and. finished appear-
anoe as Tequirex at once, plaut first

an -entire absence f that contrast

"Then you are an old California
miner J1' 1 said to a man that was
talking very loud as we sat in the
office of a Deadwood hotel.
"Yes. sir; yes, sir. One of the
Argonauts, sir. Always lived in
California till I came here to look
after my interest in the Home
stake mine, sir.
"Were you one of the '49-ers?"
"No sir: I wasn't. I didn't
reach California till 1850."
"Am l should ttink that was
near enough so you could stretch
it a little and say you got there in
'49 ."
"I could if I wanted to make a
liar of myself, but I don't, sir. I'm
a man of my word, sir, and even if
1 was going to he I wouldnthe
about a little thing like that.'
I was somewhat crestfallen, and
after he had stepped o'U I suggest
ed to the proprietor of the hotel
that the Californian was the first
man from that State of his age that
I ever met who did not claim that
be reached there in '49.
"When did he tell you that he
went?' asked the proprietor.
"In J8o0. He said' he wouldn't
lie about it for worlds it does me
good to see a Californian at last
who can tell tbe truth on that
point."
"Yes; well, you haven't seen one
yet. To my certain knowledge the
first time that old fellow struck
California was in '67, when he
came down from Vancouver Is
land, where he went three or four
years before to avoid the draft."

He was a blind !e cur and had
nothing about him to excite admi
ration. But as lie stood shivering
under the "L" Station at Fifty
ninth street aud Third avenne hi
loneliness and entire misery drew
a sympathetic glance now and the.i
from a passer by. He did not seen
to be a city dog; he appeared tort
shy and iguoraut of city ways for
t!at, ud lie looked anxiously in
the face of each new comer as if
seeking a friend. But none came.
He tried to get on a surface car
but the conductor yelled and a
iHt-senger kicked at him, so he
sneaked into the lee of one of the
iron posts and shivered more mis
erably than ever.
Two iittle girls came along and
stopped a moment to speak to
"poor iittle doggie,'' who attempt
ed a little wag of the tail in re
sponse. Then they patted him and
spoke kindly to him, and so cheer
ed the poor little waif that he
frisked about the and whined for
jov. A heavy , lumbersome brew
ery wagon bene down on them.
With the rattle overhead aad the
Babel ot noise about them, the two
little tots did not heed the rapidiy
neariog danger nor hear the shout
that went cut to them fnm the
sidewalk. But the homeless do
did. Springing between thechlld
ren and the advancing horses, he
barked, his shrill treble rising
high above the clamor ot the street .
It was all done in a moment.
The wagon rolled on ; the cbildreu
spell-bound with fear, stood still;
the dog, in a last desperate effiort
to repay the kindness shown him,
hurled himself at the advancing
horses. One child is brushed as
side and the other clutched by a
friendly hand as tbe horses swerve
at the dog's attack.
The brewery wagon went on its
way, rocking and swaying, and two
tear-dimmed little faces peeped
out from the sidewalk; ;afc a little
heap on the stones of the street.
Their defender had given in his
life in grateful rediemberance of
their kindness.
He was only a dog; he knew no
better.
