THE OLD CELLAR.

The olden home is now no more,

The house, the barn, the well-sweep old, With the old folks are things of yore, Forgotten as the years have rolled. Uncovered now the cellar walls

The tangled briers have overhung, And snow, as swiftly down it falls, Into the crevices is flung.

Upon this waste of barrenness,

Now only rocky pasture ground, The walls though every year grown less, Show where the road in old times wound.

But poplars from old Lombardy

In silence rear their heads of snow, Half dead, half living, seemingly, Survivors of the long ago.

LOMBARDY POPLARS.

The Lombardy poplar trees are remarkable for their straight trunks and the nearly vertical growth of their branches. From remote times they have been inhabitants of Kashmir, the Punjab, and Persia, and from that region they were carried to Southern Europe.

Their popular name is derived from their abundance along the banks of the Po and other rivers of Lombardy.

They were introduced into France in 1749; and from thence into the United States about 1790. While envoy to France, Thomas Jefferson noticed the unique use of these trees in marking the course of turnpike roads and was struck with the luxuriance of their foliage. He encouraged their introduction into the United States, and they soon became common as marking the sides of turnpikes and boundaries of public squares. The Salem and Boston turnpike corporation voted May 4, 1802, to set the trees on both sides of their road. The New

buryport and Boston turnpike corporation also had some set out. When Salem

common was levelled in 1802, there was a nursery adjoining thereto, in what is now Winter street, containing a large number of these trees, and they were set out along the borders of the square. The people soon discovered that they were

not trees of beauty; and the great September gale of 1815 completed the desire to have them removed. They were either uprooted or broken down by the terrific wind, and were banished from the common, the present elm and other trees being set out in their places in 1817.

If these poplars were beautiful in France and Italy, they were not found to be so in New England. They were not suitable for our rigorous climate, and soon began to show indication of decay, dead branches appearing more and more frequently.

Political feeling was so strong in the old Jeffersonian days that these poplars were condemned by the Federalists on account of Jefferson having been instrumental in introducing them. Some of the Republicans planted these trees in

front of their residences to show their alle

giance to Jeffersonian principles, and the enraged Federalists were guilty of injuring and destroying them. This was true in Salem in 1801 in several instances, the mischief being of course done under cover of darkness. Capt. Samuel Very, who lived at Buffum's corner, offered a reward of twenty dollars for the conviction of the person or persons who injured the trees before his house.

For a few years the setting out of these trees was a fad, which had its short run. Few of the old trees remain, even in decay, some being found on sections of the turnpike roads, and a few in Beverly and Groveland, and on the Pickman farm in Salem. They are sometimes found by old cellars on deserted homesteads, tall and erect and apparently dead, standing like grim sentinels in a dreary vigil.

The fancy for these trees has slightly revived during the last two or three years, and they have been set out in Beverly, Newburyport and other places.
