Yet over ■ v her.rt there is gloom
Like that which wrap me here in the night

For cone s in niv visions the gleam
Of my dar ingks dear ».yes.

As light as a bird is h< r pos ■;

While blushes in «oft ehe< ks arise
On ni '. from tieiieuth flowing hair.
Gleams the light of my darling's dear eyes.
Ah! con hi I but hope in my heart
To win her. i'd love her for nve;

appears, the conclusion must al
ways be that this Qf.nt supercedes
all others yet made to give us a
history o f Oregon; nor is any other
effort likely to be made that will
compare or compete wi ll it.
No one except Mr. Bancroft has
the resources for prod .ction of
such a work ¡is this. The founda
tion of it is laid in tiie great and
extensive subject upon which he
has so long been engaged— namely
his elaborate history o f the Pacific
states o f America, aud to the vast
materials collected for this work
and to the fountain of general his
tory which they afford, applicable
to Oregon as or e of the parts or
divisions o f the whole subject, he
has added an immense mass o f new
matter, collected under his own
direction; and as we turn over tiie
