by Sir Walter Scott is--- steae,s (N i-ats as
Iionored be the evergreen pine ~
Proud old clu,s with stalwart trunks and gigantic
branches are our delight and reverence The graceful
locust Is wondrousy beautiful The maple. with Its ar

wards with ancient graves and NOISY tombs, Oyer which
trail monr,fuy aud awecty the dropping branches we
think Of the English ycw and in an instant the days OF
archery come up before Robin Hood and his bow
men cloth ward arrows and the romantic revcr ia sies

mountains gloomy in summer and IN the winter soN-
clad and inhospitabe How fondly does the wanderc',
returning once more to his boyoods hcnlc gaze upon
the trees which he helped to plnn They are Ike friends
with whom he has grown into manhood Every man
who owns sufficient land should plant trees
