The fist one I am not sure about - Elm seems like a good guess. The second I agree is White Cedar/Arborvitae. it will be lightweight and will make good kindling. I'd be careful loading the stove with arborvitae since it will burn hot and fast, but it will be great for starting fires and getting the stove hot fast.
