I ride through the oldforest and consult the great patriarchal trees, and they tell me manystrange stories. When the ruthless axe has prostrated one of theseforest monarchs, my good palfrey waits for me, and I count theconcentric circles and learn his age. Some I have seen which haveyielded to man's use or cupidity who have looked over the youngerscions of the woods, and upon the waters of the mighty river a thousandyears. " "Indeed, miss, " replied the guest, "I had not supposed the natural li...feof any of our forest trees extended beyond three, or at most fourcenturies. " "The tulip or poplar-tree and the red-oak in the rich loam of thesehills live long and attain to giant proportions. The vines which clingin such profusion to many of these are commensurate with them in time. They spring up at their bases and grow with them: the tree performingthe kindly office of nurse, lifting them in her arms and carrying themuntil their summits, with united leaves, seem to kiss the clouds. Theylive and cling together through tempests and time until worn out withlength of days, when they tumble and fall to the earth together, andtogether die.
