THE ARBOR DAY LADY 
55 
How friendly the pine is to man — so 
docile and available as timber, so warm and 
protective as shelter! Its balsam is salve to 
his wounds, its fragrance is long life to his 
nostrils; an abiding, perennial tree, temper¬ 
ing the climate, cool as murmuring waters 
in summer and like a wrapping of fur in the 
winter - —John Burroughs.
