Then the clear, sharp, crystaline living sunshine brings out all the silver of its bark and makes a wonder work in light and shade of its organ-like branches and slender twigs. Come upon it on one of our sparkling mid-winter days; then it is a veritable blaze of steel, and your eye will rove over its beauty with a joy as keen as the play of the sunshine itself.
