The real breath of the north, where 

 the pine tree thrives, is in that 

 utterance. 



Parkman, the historian, from in- 

 timate knowledge of winter in the 

 pine woods of the north, actually 

 pictures the scene before one in a few 

 graphic lines, thus: "Lakes and 

 ponds were frozen, rivulets sealed up, 

 torrents encased with stalactites ot 

 ice; the black trunks of the pine- 

 trees were beplastered with snow, and 

 its heavy masses crushed the dull 

 green boughs into the drifts beneath. 

 The forest was silent as the grave." 

 And now: 



"A song to the oak, the brave old 

 oak, 



Who hath ruled in the greenwood

The evergreen forest most appeals 

 to one in the winter, when the de- 

 ciduous trees are bare, resting in the 

 semblance of death; but in the early 

 spring when the sap flows again and 

 life becomes manifest, I turn to the 



broad-leaved forest for recreation' 

 hope, and the renewal of life in which 

 the very outermost twigs and buds 

 are bathed. All through the sum-

 changes: the developing leaves, the 

 maturing fruit, the nesting birds. 

 Even the light is brighter than in the 

 dark evergreen forest. • When au-

''Slain by the arrows of the early 

 frost," 

 nature caps the climax of her scenic 

 glories in the coloring of the dying 

 leaves, so that our last vision and 

 fmal memories of them may be the 

 brightest of the year. 



To a visitor from the old world, 

 where there is no such autumn 

 coloring as here, the appearance of our 

 scarlet oaks and our maples is un- 

 forgetable. 



With that other type of trees, the 

 palm and the tree fern, "Steeped in 

 the Sun." We here have but little
