! That Willi joyous pulse sends over to the
Old World (plaint anil i;riin ,
erecting from her latest otlspring, from the
last link and the best,
In the mighty chain of Kmpire that has
reached the distant West ?
(.reeling, to that olden country, where the
kingly prophets wrought,
And with gleams of inspiration all their
words of wisdom taught.
Where fair Science bad its birth place, and
where (icnius made its home,
In the gardens of old Athens, in the halls
of ancient Pome
15re the puny arm of Progress, that was
weekly as its birth,
Stretched its fateful lingers westward, till
it spans tiie circling earth.
Now. beside the blue Pacific, must its fur
ther progress cease,
Here must science work its wonders, here
must art and wealth increase,
The accumulated wisdom f the ages of the
past
Here must come to full fruition, here must
yield its fruit at last.
From our schools must come the scholars,
from our hills the bards sublime
That will guide the course of nations to the
latest space of time.

With its faiths, and cruel dogmas, and its
creeds of hell and hate.
Oregon ! fair land of promise ! who will deem
tltcse visions vain?
Who will deem these thoughts-, the phan
toms of a dreamy poet's brain?
Hero my youthful feet first wandered, here
my childish spirit drew
From thy beauty inspiration, as a wild flow
er drinks the dew.
I have rambled through thy valleys, climbed
thy rugged mountain heights,
Camped within thy leafy forests on a hun
dred star-lit nights;
Ilested by wild, unnamed rivers, where the
checkered sunlight shines
Through the leaves of oak and maple, and
boughs of kingly pines.
From Mount Hood's snow-covered summit
gazed with wondering estasy
At the grand Columbia rushing on its swift
way to the sea
As resistless as the current that has .swept
the red man on
Till his birililand swarms with strangers,
ami las Heart and hopes are gone.
Now I see vast cities .stretching where the
Indian used to roam,
And the hum of toiling thousands, builders
of the hearth and home;
And the pulsing heart of Progress in its
mighty impulse feel,
Hushing on with all the swiftness, and the
strength of steam and steel,
Lrusjiiug out the last faint traces of the
things that used to lie,
Surely bringing this fair country to its no
