TIE TWO OLD TREES.



Two rude old trees, stood all lone IN the neld;
The thick coated ba rk from their bodies was taken,
Nc soft flowing leaves ihelr haied boUghs 70 shield
But they Stood Ike lost ones, deserted, forsHken.
sighed ss bebeld, their now deeayed lorms,
thought Of the past, when they we're covered with
green;
II ow they laughed at the winds and smii.d =! the
slOrms,
As they .%ayed to aud fro, with such proud, grace.
fol mieB.
! thought Of the red man, who peacefully laid,
Beneath their silent shade, his weary form resting
When the Wild gray squirrel its leshy nest made,
Among the dense boughs, Dsught lie happfhess NC
lesling.
Thought Of tEvir comrades that once stood round
them,
Forming dark fsrest, Of magnificent trees;
But the pioneers axe, had al last found ihem,
And alas they now VibrAte no more to the breeze.
oh the sound OF the axe, fearful tale told.
AstO its repea ted blows, theV fell thick and faTi
But those two rude lone were left to grow old
Asaliving memeDto to tell Of the past.
Then thought how like, the green forest Is mankind
Surrounded by dear rendS that we cherish and love
But the pioneer time, the dearest will find,
And sweeps them from this earth, for mement
above.

that this fraud will be- tried in other
