The Pioneer Plea for Old Times:
• • Ir/ZIT:ISS BY C. L. WART:), ESQ.
For the Pioneer and Historical Festival held
-at Oaiego, 2r: Feb. 22, 1855.
,
We'll wake a plain, old fashioned muse
Vportlthe festal day,
A n d s ing of scenee, and talk of times,
Which long Since pmese!:l away;
As thus we've met, 'tisAvell to take
- A retrospective view; r
And note what changes hive been wrought,
Since this, oar land was new; i
Then all nreod, without dispute,
To deem Ohio—“West.:'
.And did, not drosm of worlds beyond,
Hot were content to rest,
Amid these smiling vales of ours;
Where the &tar mapie,grew—
So hero we reared our forest homes, .
When this, out, land was now.-
Ours was a brave and gallant band,
Well fitted riot each toil, •
And soon_we let the sun,beatna-in, •
Upon 'a generous snit ;
.•
Strong were the, hands; and strong the hearts,
Of that widely r4thered few
Who conquered.here,"l4d,forests grand,
When this, our land was new.
Dark danger.lurked around each cot, .
The red men in their wrath,
Lay coiled like silent serpents, , •
Along each green-wood path, .
Orshouted bold their battle-cry, -
As o'er hill,and'glen they flew—
A !"those were the times that tried minialouisr
When this, - our land was mew%
The gaunt Scoff's howl,and 'panther's screams, .
Made - hidenus eallt night,
,And wives' and youthful maidens' hearts,
Oft trembled with affright:
Until at length they learned to share t
That courage stern and true, '
Which thrt.bbed in everY manly breast, .
When this, our laud was new.
Wnr's storm swept-past, and gentle peaeo
‘Vith silent blessing* comes, .
And fills with hope and gladness, .
Our wood-embosotned homes
And neighbor then toward neighhor,
In friendship eh-lady-drew
-Se we lived a band of 'brothers
When this, our land was new..
No party feuds or polities, l - -
Much marred Or rural jo*s,
One li , pe enurosiedeneh.f,•mate heart,
And-nerved the men :Ind boys: • .
To ek..ar a faini- - --adi,.rn a home=.
Was most they haifin view—
We'd nn f ,, reig,n trips ortopperiet4,
Whed this, Our land was new.
The oirls all lciarned to make good bread, •
While - like thoirspinninm wheels,
Rieat merry ran their sinless'-songs • .
Without pionn penis;
And blithely didthey dance at night
Even alien They stayed till t.wp—
Such were the.ordyy, stay* they made, • •
- When.this, Our land was new. , •
Mo•zt wore a linsey-woolsey dress
•Their . oWn Sweet-hands had rosde,
'Pith a blue-and-white checked apron
That wouldn't tour or rude; .
Thq rich brocade and rustiing.silks
Were seldom brought to view,
Except z ,to" co jo ineetin7
Whoa tths, - our.land was new.
"Five yards were ample - for a dress---"
Few ever asked for more,
And never trailed their skirts along,
The' dirty streets-or floor ; • -
. They looked as nest and tidy .then,
• As any one.of you, . '
Who scorn the horne.spnii'which was worn,
When this, our land was new.
. • •
We seld.,m saw Constimption then; •
With its pallor-and its
Twas rounded cheeks-and Health's own-bloom,
Thst greeted - every call;
i£4ch foot a home knit stocking wore—
A home-made ralf-skin shoo,
And.theres, certain things girls-didn't zee' ar,
Whenthis, our land was DOW.
. .
Good wholesome and substantial food, .-
Our festive tables crowned, - -
No French kniek-knack or luxtiry ?
In our bilkof fare was found
But labor sweetened every dish,
. And what is better too. a '
We needed no" Maine Liquor Law," •
Whew this, our ; land was new. ' •
/ -
Yes! things hart changed. there's little left,
Ot plain old fashioned troth,
All dream of Prirreely riches now, . •
E'en from their very youth;
And - Schnyler skins and scoundrel schemes,~
' Rise.frequently to 'view,
And. make as mourn those pun? "old, times,"
. When this, our land was new. •
To half the folks, Ohio's East::
And Missouri at the best. -
A *lnd of half.ursv resting place,
For those who're " going West;"
The PaciSe-States were all the rage
Until the_late.ado-... •
Now Kansas,-or Nebntika is
The only land that's new. - •
IliMarma ra Weiland blessing now, •
slay Tears &gone, .
The poor, untutored Indian roamed,
A momirch and fDone; .
And the"irpn berse,"-Fith fire,and fright,'
. Whirls quick the unwary through,. .
Where we wagged many s weary foot,
When this, our land was new. , •
Oar women do not spin and weave—
In wiiieh we're ail agreed,
Witluvatent-yig,fits and power:looms
There is no longer need;.
But then for bread they give ns &roar.,
Or do us•Baowtr or blur—

contributed largely, in, their 'misguided zeal.

so much deplore,. We do not charge them
with..an error of the Wart but of the-head.—
We do not accuse tbetit of evil qesign, but of
a mistaken judgment: They encouraged this

ed to Intushall the whole' Protestant comut-
nity in its f!tvdi', betiaitse.some of,•the politi•

tian Protestants been . tnadei to rejoice- - at
the overthrow of PoperY, and the conseqUent

have been torn down or burned by the demon , :
of fanaticism 'and intoleratneti: Have :their
