The Merrifield-Simmons index of a graph is defined as the total number of the independent sets of the graph and the Hosoya index of a graph is defined as the total number of the matchings of the graph. In this paper, among all the trees with $n$ vertices and $k$ pendent vertices, we determine the trees with the first $[{n-k+1}/{2}]$ largest Merrifield-Simmons index and the trees with the first $[{n-k+1}/{2}]$ smallest Hosoya index.
