UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE CAM-
PAIGN FOR THE PRESERVATION
OF. THE GRASS



“Gather a single blade of grass, and ex-
amine for a minute, quietly, its narrow,
sword-shaped strip of fluted green,
Nothing, as it seems there, of notable
goodness or beauty. A. very . little
strength, and a very little tallness, and a
few delicate long lines meeting in a point
—means a creditable or apparently much-
cared-for example of Nature’s workman-



ship—made, as it seems, only to be trod-

den pn to-day and to-morrow to be cast}
}

into the oven; and a little, pale and hollow- |
stalk, feeble and flaccid, leading down to)
the dull brown roots. And yet, think of
it well, and judge whether of all strong |
and goodly trees; pleasant to the eyes |
and good for food—stately palm and pine, |
strong ash and oak, scented citron, bur-|
dened vine—there be any by man so |
deeply loved, by God so highly graced,



as that narrow point .of feeble green. | SILK HANDKERCHIEFS AND NOTIONS | Accommodate 18 People

Consider what we owe merely to)
the meadow grass, to the covering of the}
dark ground by that glorious enamel, by |
-the companies of those soft, and count-|
less, and peaceful spears.’—Ruskin’s
