HIS tree is almost identical with the White Cedar, and is 
frequently mistaken for it. It is very abundant along the 
rocky shores of lakes, rivers, and swamps of the northern 
parts of the United States and the Canadian provinces. The 
trunk is crooked and covered with evergreen foliage from 
bottom to top, the branches diminishing in length toward the 
apex. The wood is very light and soft, yet it is said to be durable. 
The classical name is derived from the Greek word thuo , I sacrifice, 
as its fragrance made it a favorite wood for sacrificial fires.

QO we grew together, 
v -' Like to a double cherry, seeming parted, 
But jet a union in partition, 
Two lovely berries molded on one stem; 
So with two seeming bodies, but one heart. 
— Shakespeare. 
T F life for me hath joy or light, 
X ’Tis all from thee; 
My thoughts by day, my dreams by night, 
Are but of thee, of only thee; 
Whate’er of hope or peace I know, 
My zest in joy, my balm in woe, 
To those dear eyes of thine I owe; 
’Tis all from thee. 
My heart, ev’n ere I saw those eyes, 
Seem’d doom’d to thee; 
Kept pure till then from other ties, 
’T was all for thee, for only thee. 
Like plants that sleep till sunny May 
Calls forth their life, my spirit lay, 
Till touch’d by love’s awak’ning ray, 
It lived for thee, it lived for thee. 
-Moore. 
T CHANGE but. in dying! the trials of earth 
May gather around me and darken my path, 
But true as the needle, which points to the pole, 
Will my heart turn to thee — thou beloved of my soul. 
— T. Drew.

'HE task befits thee well, 
To gather firmness as the tempests swell 
Around me still, companion, wife and friend, 
To cling- in fond endurance to the end.

iUT green above them 
Thy branches grow; 
Like a buried love, or a vanish’d joy, 
Link’d unto memories none destroy.
