HISTORY OF THEJJNITED STATES.
- it r. w. a. int'LTf.
While eountles. age. slowly paasedaway,
The western Wurld in bealbi-n dnrkness lay.
Trie God of nature here bad Intertwined . - ,
The graudesl feHiilurcs of our globe designed. J
Huge mounlnin systems rose in toweriug might,
With peaks illuiniued by roleanie light,
Cunuiiibered rivers through the tramiuil lalid,
Flowed onward toward the distant, sturuiy strand,
Ureal oatnructs puurcd duwn with thunderous
stiund.
And oaverns yawned for raitMHvnenth the gronqd.
Freili water lakes spread out among the trees, (1
With all tb. avemiug of vat iulnnd soas
Rude, savage tribes possessed tiie vast domain.
Of forest wilds and blooming prairia plain.,
liut oultivatod minds of early times.
Knew nothing of these isolated .liuic
Tu. period uf the Aboriginies . ,
Is veiled in deep, unfutboined mysteries.
No written rroords nf Ibeir acts appear;
No annals of the nations buried burr,
Hut moldcring cities time's dim deeds rooaU
Whure tottering turrets crushed and .rumbling
fall.
From where lb. famous Newport tower is fouod,
To where t'bolula's pyramids abound.
Remains ofearthcrn forts are lelt to show
Tlint warlike nations flourished lung agnj
And oountless mounds to these late ages tell
Or those who In these region. uird to dwell,
When their progenitors sit out to roam
From mankind's common, Asiatic borne.
The straits of Helirlug tuny buve boen tb. way,
That led them safely to America. .
Their cities may for centuries hare graced
The sites where now no vestiges are traced;
Till ruder tribes from northern countries poured.
Demolishing what never was restored.
Thus crushed beneath a fleroe, larburie might,
The continent relapsed in hopile.s night;
Or separate quite, from .n.tera Dattone riven,
Their origin may be direct fruia Heaven. -
Itut theories trnn.mit to us alone,
What truthful history tins never shown.
East of the Mississippi's turbid si ream,
And south of where Ht. Lawrence's water, gleam,
With habits filed, unalterable, rile,
Or strangely mixed with rectitude and guile,
Divided into tribes and roving round,
Eight Indian families the white men fonnd.
The Algonquin possessed VHIt extent
Ot this great section of the continent.
The Huron, Iroiiiioia and Ckcrokee,
M'lbilUn. Natclita, ionx and fierce L'ebea,
With the t'atawbas, formed she other band.
Who occupied our wide Columl.ian lands.
As ornaments they bells of wampum wore,
Which served as currency the country o'er.
They scalped their enemies with savage glee;
Their women led a life of slavery.
With bark of trees they huts or wigwams made,
And war and hunting formed their leading trado.
The 'Inno and the ira here unfurb-d.
Are ilitlerenl trom tliose in me eastern world;
New genera and species far and wide,
Into untold varieties divide;
And everywhere froia Nature's band outpour.
The most prolific and abundant atures.
The Europeans long had sought a way,
Hy sea alone, to distant India.
Columbus aimed this wl.hi'd for route to gaia,
Hy boldly eroasing o'er the western main.
For eighteen years at many oourts he tried
To have essential, for but plan suppliad ;
When IsalHilla of the 8auih Ihroue,
fame nobly forward to his aid alone.
W lib throe small vessels and but ninety men,
He on his daring project started then.
About five weeks had slowly eircled round,
Vi hen with sucooea bis fondest hopes wereeiowoad.
October twelfth in fourtoen niuuty-two.
The isle of tiuatiahaui came in view.
Iluw welcome to this oeeun daring baud, -MukI
now bave been the welcome cry of land!
They knew not that ten thousand miles and more,
Stili stretched between them and the ludian sbure.
Tbrr. other voyage. Coluuibua made,
And gained a fame which time can never fade,
lie gave a new world to the human race,
And it became his final resting place.
His glory and his wrong, are widely known,
Through all tb. realms of cverj lone.
The Northinrn many centuries before,
Had sailed the northern regions to explore,
And roved the sterile lee-l.ound country o'er
From tlreenlaud's snow-rtad hills to Labrador,
And colonies were planted on ite shore,
According to the ancient Runio lore ;
But they bad been abandoned long ago.
As regions of eternal frost and snow,
Vi hen royagers from southern Europe tried
To cros. Atlantic's ever restless tide.
Am' rica was quickly si-ixed upon,
And many settlement! were soon begun,
By Spain, which started fir in the advance.
And England, Holland. Portugal aud Franco. ;
Vespucci came In quest of fame and petf,
And bnd it named in honor uf himself.
B:ilboa with hi. comrades rude and free, '
Frst visiti d the great Pacific sea.

Illumined by the southern summer smiles;
An I coring all their gorgeous tangles round,
The Fount of Youth be sought but never found.
The two Cabat. eaine over to explore
The northern taction of the eastern shore.
Then Vrrratanl and his hardy crew,
And C'artler, came to mnke dis'-ovrries loo.
De Soto in the conquest of bis foes,
Fi-ist reached the line where Mississippi flows,
And tlusnold seeking Masachu.etts' shore,
The route condensed a thousand leagues or more.
tiir Walter Italoigb, favorite ofljuevB Bets,
assayed a colony, WKhout soaces.,
A century passed, as history relate.,
With none to settle the I'nited P-'atus.
But by and by, with energr inspired.
Two noted oompanle. the lend acquired ;
And In the progress or succeeding years,
Had founded many homes of pioneara.
Within the nation's bounds as they are traced
To-day, the following colonic, were placed
In earlier times, ia permanent array : 1
The first. Ht. Augustine in Florida, 1
A Hiiani.b settlement of old renown, '
Hiiccecdcd by the English at Jomo.town.
St. Mary's wn. established in tile Mouth I
New Amsterdam quite near the Hudson', mouth.
The Mnynower'. persecuted Pilgrim flock
Of exiles, landed aero on Plymouth rock ;
And Roger Williams, soon axilod fromtbenoe,
Nenr Nn.vaiainsrtt founded Providence.
This is the sacred spot where first we find (

Where Church and ttlate were in no way combined,
Itut every one aould think as he Inclined.

And llraddouk bod hia terrible defeat ,
W here western settlers ooutitless wrung, .ndured,
And Canada the British King secured.
But troubles weightier than the Indian wars.
Were doomed to break out on our devotrd shores.
For many year, the king and Parliament
Had alined to tax ns without our aonscnt ;
And hireling troops were moved acres, th. ware,
In help redoee us to a stale or slave.,
Twa then the Boston Massacre occurred
The Revolution was not long deferred, r

Tbo patriot's were soon aompulled to meet

Across the Jerseys, with the loss complete
Of both the forts uf Washiiigtcn and Lea.
At Harlem Plulns we gained a victory.

Now Arnold basely sought a traitor's plea,
To sell the country he bad fought to free
His blood had twioe been shed for human rights,
At Qucobeo's oitadel and Ht-bmis' Heights.

Whon right years bloody euouiei hodexpired.
To save inevitable dis.olutiuli,

From Vei.tiington whu thus was first rewarded,
To tlraot wbo living deeds are lust recorded.
The Uiuitiana region's vast extent
Was bought when Jcacreon was President!
And Florida was purchased long ago.
Through the sngnoity ol sage Mouroo.

Scttrcely a day, and certainly not a

than it ought to havo.
Tho greater tho offence the less pun
islimonl scorns to bo the rnlo. A man
who steals from tho government, os
pccitilly if tho sum be large, is raroly
punished to a greater extent tharflo
restore, through himself or bondsmen,
a portion of tbe amount stolen. If be
does ibis ho is thonghl to he doing n
great del j indued, tho feeling goes
so iur us to regard litis partial return
ol stolon property by a thief ufter he
is found out us a meritorious act, and
sympathy is expressed at tho poor
itinow naving io give np Ins proporty :
Tho thicf'is not punished criminally,
nor does be sulfer social ostracism
In fact, the embezslur or defaulter til-
logothcrescaprs the odium (as well as
tho punishment) that visits other
rogues; yet ho is among tho moanest
of thieves. Favored wilh tho influ-
onco of friends nnd sustuincd by their
oii'iorsenieni as Bondsmen, honored
and trustod by tl.o government, ond
fluttered by society, there is base in
grutitudo in this kind of thievinc that
ought to placo it outsido of tho pale of
pity-
But theso rogues (and whul applies

"fiill band," it is not uncommon to
bear them openly spoken of in com

who steals is a thief, whether it be
somo poor devil burglariously robbing
or passing couniencii money ,or n gov
ernment itppoiutco defaulting or em

Vet lhu former gets ull tbe punish

This is trifling with justice. So
