Ia veiled in deep, unfuttioined myateriea.
No written reenrda of their acta appear;
No auuala of the nation huriod bure.

From where th farooua Newport tower ia found,
To where ( hulula'a pvrauiid abound.

That warlike nntim Anuria hid long ago j
And count If c mounds to three late ag-a tell
Of tlioae who In these rt'gtnna u-ed to dwell,
When their progenitor act out to roam
From mnnkind's common, Aniatio home.
The strnita of Belirlng limy h ive hctn the way,
That led them aaMy ti America. ,
Their cities may for centuries have graced
The altca where now no veatigua are traced;
Tilt ruder tribes from northern countries poured.

Thua erushud beneath a lie roe, barbaric might.
The continent relaed in hop. le night ;
Or separate tjuite, from extern oruiou riven,
Their origin may be diitvt froia lleavaa.
Hut theories transmit to us alone,
What truthful history hna never shown.

And south of where (St. Lawrence water'f gleam,

Or strangely mixed with rectitude and guile,

The Huron, Inuoia and (.'kerokce,
Mnliitiiio, Natohca, Sioux and fierce Uchce,
With the ('atawbns, formed Uip other hands
Who ocrapied our wide Columbian land.
As omainenti they belts of wampum wore,
Which served as currency the country o'er.
They scalped their enetnief with savage glee ;
Their women led a life of slavery.
With bark of tree they huts or wlgwami made,
And war and hunting formed thfir lending trade.
TbeiNH and the jinra here unfurled,
Are different from thte in the entern world ;
New genera and peei-e far and wide,
Into untold varie'iea divide ;
And everywhere fruin Nature's hand outpours
The moat prolific and abundant stures.
The Europeans long kal aoaght a way,
By sea alone, to distant India.
Columbus aimed this wished for route to gain,
By boldly eroaaieg er the western main.
Fur eighteen years at many court he tried
To bave essentials for hie plan supplied j
When Ivaleolla of the tSpatiifdi throne,
Came nobly forward to hia aid alone.
With throe small vesrel and but niuety sen,
He on hia daring projret atarted then.
AIout five weeks haul slowly circled round,
When with aueoeaa bia fondest hopes were ei owned.
October twelfth in fourteen ninoty-two,
The isle of tiuauahani eaiue in view.
How welcome to this ocean daring band, -

Thcv knew not that ttn thouiand mi If a aud more.
St ili atretrh'-d between them and the iudian shore.
Thna other voyage Col a oi bus made,

He gave a new world to the human race,
And it became hia final resting place.
His glory and his wrong are widely known,
Through all the n alms of ever) tone.
The Kurt hint n many ccnturbi before,
Had sailed the northern regions to explore.
And roved the sterile Ice-bound country o'er
From Greenland's snow clad bills to Labrador,
And colonies, were planted on Us shore, r,
According to the ancient Runic lore;
Hut they bad been abandoned bng ago,
As regions of eternal frost aud snow,
W ben voyagers from southern Europe tried
To croaa Atlantic's ever restless tide.
Am' rica was quickly seised upon,
And many settlements were soon begun,
By Spitin, which started fur in the advance. ,
And England, Holland, Porta gad aud Franc.
Vi-spuceT came in quest of fame and pelf,
And had It named in honor of him kg If,
Bttlhua with bis comrades rude and free, '

The Fount of Youth be Bought but never found.
The two Cabal came over to explore
The northern section of the ean torn shore.
Then Verrainni and bis hardy erew,
And Cartler, came to mnke disrovcriei too.
!e Hoto in the conquest of his foes,
Fijst reached the line where Mississippi flows,
And (luinold seeking Maaidiuctls' shore,
The route eondenaed a thousand leagues or more.
Hir Waller Halcigb, favorite of Queua IJess,
Essayed a colony, wot bout aooces.
A century paused, as history relates.
With none to seltle the United Htalos.
But by and by, with energv inspired.
Two noted oompanies the land acquired ;
And in the progress of succeeding years,
Had founded many home of pioneers.
Wltbin the nation's bounds as they are traced
To-day, the following colonies were placed
In earlier times, ia permanent array :
The Drat, Ht. Augustine tn Florida, '
A Hpaniib settlement of old renown, '
Kuceceded by the English ai Jaroextown.
ttu Mary's was established in the Honth (
.New Amsterdam quit near the Ilud-on's mouth,
Th Mayflower's perseented Pilgrim floek
Of exilea, Inndrd bore on 1'lym-utU rock i
And Uoger Wtlliauia, auun exiled (rum thenoe,
Nenr Narregnaselt founded Providence.
This ia the sanred spot where first we find (
lleluriuflN Tolerance to mankind i
Where Church and .State were in no way combined,
Rut every one eould think aa he inclined,
With the inalienable right a-'lgned
To worship Hod according to hi mind.
In Christian rectitude settled then.
By deeda of f emre, the land of William Peon.
The story of hia government affords
Unbroken faith with all the Indian hordes.
Jainea Oglethorpe to Georgia led the way,
And thua lbs Htatea ware formed In fair fray.
By emigrMtion from the distant Easf,
The population rapidly Increiiaed.
With fir and swurd and toil anrronnding them,
They dared Ihe peril of th s wilds to stem.
The nativca tribes, to fury oft enraged,
A gainst the ouloniste In war engaged.
But freemen, in true courage unexcelled,
Tbe pers. vorcd till all their fires were quelled.
The 1" touch and Indian eonfl ot here w greet, .
With years f orime and misery mplrte,
W here Waehingiwa iu battle first we meet, ,
And llraddoi'k had hia terrible defeat i
Where western seiilers oountleaa wrongs endured,
And Cana'U the Bntisli Kiog s'ured.
But troubles wefshlior than Ilia Indian wars,
Were doomed to btvuk out on nur devoted shores
For many years th king and Parliament
Hnd aimed to tax us without our ennscnt
And hireling troop were moved across th wares,
To help redne us tn a stale or slaves.
'Twa then the Boston Mnssacr ooeurred
The Kevoluttin was not lung deferred.
On using nothing wrongly taxed intent,
Home fifty men disguised as Indians went
And info' Boston Harbor Ihew the tea,
Which spread about and floated ewt to sea.
The military movements Were begun (
Ppon Ihe crimson field of Lexington I
And followed ap with energy and skill,
Tn the far fumed defence of Iliinkor'i Hill t

And where hrave Warren's ItTe was sacrificed.

.Public Indifference to Criminality.
Scarcely a day, and certainly not a
week, goes by but an announcement
is mado in some part of tho country
of a defalcation or embezzlement in
public aerviuo, local, Riatoor national.
Somo public omeiai bus proved him-
solf unworthy. . It is heralded through
the country by tlio opposition, if it
nappenou to te a tig steal, and leolily
told, if at all, by the party lo which
the delimiter happened to bolong
Tho criminal then passes from tho
stage, (another coming on in qti!ek
succession,) bis" cao is "fixod up" for
reason oi policy, and that is tlio last
hoard of it. tho people taking the re
suit as a matter of course. One tnoro
scoundrel thus oscapes tmnishmont.
and a penitentiary has one inmate loss
than it ought to havo.
1 ho greater the oHenco the loss pun-
ishmetil seems to bo the rnlo. A man
who steals from the government, cs
pocially if tho sum be large, is rarely
punished to a greater extent tliatrHo
restore, through himsclfor bondsmen,
a portion of the amount stolen. If he
doe ibis he is thought to be doing a
great dead ; indeed, tho feeling goes
so lur as lo regard this partial return
of stolon property by a thief after he
is found out us a meritorious act, and
sympathy is expressed at tlio poor
fellow having to give np his property !
Tho thief is not punished criminally,
nor does lie sillier social ostracism.
In fact, the embezzler or defaulter al
together escapes the odium (as well as
tho punishment) that visits other
rogues; yet ho is umoni the moanest
of thieves. Favored with tho influ
ence of friends nnd sustained by their
endorsement as bondsmen, honored
and irustod by tl.o government, and
fluttered by society, thero is base in
gratitude in this kind of thieving that
ought to place it outsido of the pule of
"1
ut theso rogues (and what applies
to them is equally applicable to legis
lativo bribo lakers) steal with impiini
ty, and if they get through with a
"full hand," it is not uncommon to
hear them openly spoken ot in com
plimentary terms tor their shrewd
ness ! This is all wrong. A man
who steals is a thief, whether it be
somo poor devil burglariously robbing
or passing counterfeit money, or a gov.
crument appointee defaulting or em
betzling, or a legislutor taking bribes
Yet Iho former gets all the punish
incut nnd all Iho odium.
This is trilling wilh justice. So
long as theso defaulters tho robbers
of publto lunds nnd bribo Inkers are
so trouted, no reformation can lake
place, llicy must be regarded as
thieves and bo so treated. Society
the public ut large must treat such
characters as it does other nvnpa nr tri
need not look for anything eta than
a continuation of these kinds nf thefts,
but a small portion ot which arc
brought to light. Make tho results of
detection tho samo as aro visited upon
other rogues and there will be a salu
tary rostraint upon this class of rob
beries. Let tho principle prevail of
'prison lor Iho guilty, nnd public trubls
lor honest men.
This indiiferenco on Iho part of the
public to tho criminality of tho viola
tors of publio trusts encourages the
thefts. Tho public aro not guiltless
in this mutter. -o party considera
tion should palliate the ollomo in any
honest man's mind. Every citizen
should set his face unalterably against
corruption in omen, nnd mlhecxer
ciso id' bis political rights, take the
mutter in hand, oppoau and defeat tho
nomination of doubtful men, and sup
port only those for otllco whoso well
established reputation is a guarantee
of an honest discharge of their public
trusts Clinton JJrmwrnt.

pointiiient utter disappointment, and
quarrels with those who venture to
adopt a wiser course. Let an object
be unattainable, and then she is cer-

Sho bus a marvellous faculty, too, has
the disappointed woman, of meddling
in other people's business, and -tender,
ing unpalatablo advice. Sho speaks
as ono having considerable authority.
Sho has at somo period of her life,
perhaps, occupied a somewhat exalted
position. She expects deference to
be paid lo hor and her opinions bo
cause she has dono so, aud is ever in
a state of fumo because peoplo will
persist in treating her us whiit she is,
not what she has been. Sho is an ad
apt ut manufacturing troubles and
grievances, nnd magnifies her sor
rows so much that her lifo becomes
un absolute burden to her.
Shrews, or disappointed women
call them what you like genernlly,
sooner or later, find themselves alone
in tho world. Their children havo
gone from thembccuiiso they found it
impossible lo remain nnd live in
peace. A week'is quite long enough,
to remain with ft disappointed woman
loo long, in fact, if you do not wish
to hear a terriblo long cutaloguo of
trials and troubles, liul sho will be
umiiiblo, us far as you aro concerned,
for that limo because you possoss tho
charm of no'volly. Afier a week, tuko
care. Their true friends and relatives
have become alienated, through tho
hard and bitter ihiuits whieh havo
been said of thorn, and the angry al
tercations which liuve Liken place.
All, in fact, who properly know them,
avoid them, for their society ia dan
gerous. Thus, they liavo to rely on,
chntico acquaintances lor companion
ship. From morning until night they
morbidly brood over tholr unhappy
lot, and yet in nothing can they ttoo
that they havo dono wrong. They
hnvo ignored tho principle of "givo
and take" in family tlisputesnnd have,
upon nil occasion, assert od their in
depondenco und mastery. Hut they
recognize no fiiull in lliut. Yot, they
mourn the loss of their kindred and
friends, and long for genial compan
ionship, it cuts thorn to tho quick lo
seo Uiemsolvo shunned ty thoso
whom, down in tho bottom of their
hearts, they really lovo. Vet, so com
pletely has a long-continued souse of
disappointment and wrong opurated
upon their natures, that they are ut
terly tinahlo to regulate their Conduct
so us to secure a return of this lovo.
They must licynicul, critical, quarrel
some, spiteful, and moody, when they
would rulher be otherwise. Thenars
often well munuered nt heart. They enn
bo truly generous, and, if you happen
lo get them in tho right cue, will do
anything to oblige you. Hut tho dit
lieiilty is to get them in tho right cuo,
for at different times thry will bo so
different. They aro thoir own worst
enemies. It is pitiful to seo them
standing thus alone, and to think that
they will never bo thoroughly happy
on this side of tho grave. It is moro
pitiful when it is lomcmbsrod what
they might havo becomo bad their
lot been differently cast, instead of
placing thorns, they might have
strewn roses in our path ; and, instead
of embittering their own lives and
others', might havo cast the hallowing
influences of love nnd contentment
around them. They doservo, thon,
moro tender consideration than is gen
orally extonded to them. Liberal Jte
view. A speaker nt a ward meeting con
