that they are there coming each day from
the happy homes.
To the right but far away high point
rears its head and suggests at least
mountain peak, down below, the river
must be but we do not see 1t, and going
on few steps find the barrier to be no
insignificant one, for 1t Is pine tree not
tall and grand for then It's trunk could
not have barred out the sight of the riv
er. But a low growing young tree, the
wide spreading branches OF beautiful
green made one OF the very lovelest
screens we have ever seen. RightheloW IN
thevalley grow other young pines scattered
over the pasture land in the most delight
ful fashion just as they should be, but
are not in many Of the grand city lawns.
The noble pine is such an inspiration TO
us as citizens of our beloved Maine, and
we can never forget-we should not try
that in peace, prosperous and successful
as our state has ever been, in war she was
glorious and we think with pride of the
large place that shall be accorded to our
grand Maine in future history.
What history of usefuln SO this tree
has. How long would it take one to walk
through the groves of pine, over hillsides
and through the valleys of our State II
the lnmberman had not gone long before
us? But let us think too of the houses and
ships. of the wage Garner of all our busi-
n.ss interests, and be thankful that these
noble trees doomed to Il g, could be the
means of so much life to man
The pine seems also to bless and cheer
our lives by its own beauty, and it does
more than to delight mercy our eyes for
many have found in its fragrant breath
gra eful healing. And it has hidden with
in the deep, sumberous recesscs of its
groves, wonderous harps Of sweet and
plaintIye melody II does not seem like
earthly music, perchance 1t is to make MS
look up where their heads rear themselves,
a. though they would, though still on the
enrth look beyond. As we III the midst OF
them look up, up-up--and see their plum
ey tops waving against the blue sky we
then feel the grandeur and the awe of those
"high mountain sleeps where only faith
can climb
Perhap we can realize little, the diff
ference between the seeming and The real,
as from the top of the hill we look lar
down and see the wood through which we
walked on the other road for there and
then, il had certainly seemed that the trees
on our left were but the margin of for
