Some fell by the winds and lightning 's rend And some to life's limit had reached their end, But the axe and saw of commercial greed Have severed a tie that we cannot mend, f viewed from a point of tommercial gain The profit lies in the trees that remain, So if in the end a winner you'd be, Spare your trees and be one of the sane, Let us hope these verses you'll not deride, And conserve those pines in beauty and pride For they are ‘he remnant of giant race That should be saved, whatever else betide, The passing of the pines—has fate decreed ? Or is it only man’s insatiate greed, That the children of future years should know them Only by a name and the tales they read ? Oh ! stately towering pines of every grove, In years long since gone by you neatly wove Your slender branches in your neighbor's boughs On every hill and vale and glen and cove, A classic essay and a poem grand You are, writ on earth by the Master's hand, And we for lust of gold, should not destroy The shining page of light His wisdom planned, ° AEolian tuned to every breath of air, Yours, seraphic music everywhere, And we would fain build our tabernacles Beneath your boughs and worship only there, Uncovered we stand while the tolling bell 1s filling the springs of the heart's deep well, And the soul's mute fountain that can only Quaff to you their galling cup—A LAST FAREWELL, ~Joun H, Cuarnan* THE DEATH RECORD.
