ANIMATE NATURE.

Last year I saw a watch spring, a rope walk,
a horse fly, and even the big trees leave. I even
saw a plank walk and a Third Avenue Bank run,
but the other day I saw a tree box, a cat fish and
a stone fence. I am now prepared to see the
Atlantic coast and the Pacific slope. My Uncle
Consider says he saw a tree bark and saw it holler.
The tree held on to its trunk, which they were trying
to seize for board.
