The stalwart oaks that touch the changing skies, The pite-trrrs, tall and dark and still, The birches with their lithe and slender stems, Are but a triad of the inner world Wih>Fe roots and branches, foliage and ail Receive their birth and constant nourish-beet, There is a message in the rustling trees Of utter strength as of huility, And I can vision mainiind, more m^a^i^re, Like yonder thickly wooded molut^ain range, Like that ialestic wave of surging green That limits the horizon. .V. • Household Hints: :BuUterbilk may Ui used to tieat copper, brass and bronze.
