New England woods are softly fair,
And many marvels gather there
The flaming bush, the soaring pine,
The shining birch, the swinging vines
But lord Of al the varied scene
rank the lowly wintergreen.
IT, glossy little leaves are found
Close creeping on the humble ground,
But an the sweetness Of the wood,
Its fragrant quaintness firm and good
It, charms that dazzle and enchant,
Are centered in the modest plant.
Those thick and lustrous leaves contain
The essence Of this dear domain,
Its favor kindly, pungent, keen,
The homely taste Of wiuterRreen.
IT, flower a Puritanic white,
Its berry scarlet for delight
How sturdily Il lifts IT, bead
And shows its glowing green and redi
How through the winter cold and bare

And. Ike its own New England, knows
A grace that shines IN deepest snow-'

JOHN MUIR AND TREES.
The Great NaturaIist's Plea For the
Preservation of Forests.


Few men loved and knew trees bet
ter than John Muir, the naturalist or
the Sierras. He fought hard TO pre-
serve the forests. and in one Of his
books he says:
All sort of local laws and regula-
tons have been tried aud found want
ing, and thescostly lessons Of our own
experience as well as that of every
civilized nation show conclusively that
the fate OF the remnant of our forests
Il I'M the hands of the federal govern
ment and that II the remnant is to be
saved at ali ii must be saved quickly
ANY fool can destroy trees They
cannot run away. and il they could
they would still be destroyed-chased
and hunted down as long as fun or
dollar could be got out of their bark
hides, branching horns or magnificent
bole backbones. Few that fell trees
plant them. Nor would planting avail
much toward getting back anything
like the noble primeval forests. Dur
ing a mans life only saplings can be
grown In the place Of the old trees
tens Of centuries old-that have been
DESTROYED. 1t took more than 5000
years to make some of the trees in
these western woods-trees that are
sim standing in perfect strength and
beauty, waving and surging in the
mighty forests OF the Sierra,
Through all the wonderful eventful
centuries since Christs time-and long
before that-God has cared for these
trees. saved them from drought, dis
ease. avalanches and thousand strain
ing. leyeling tempests and foods, but
he cannot save them from fools. Only
