What a grati6ratiOn 70 seat myself upon 4
chair IN the Rooms De the aToung lTea,sL
tsrary Associaioa after having selected from
the many papen that are upon Gle that one
coming from the far. far Fssts yes. from q
way out, in Nebrask al and after reading q
beautiful and interesting tale from ToM TUHzR
or some other notable being; and then agan,
an account Of tho d0iHgs and manner Of pro
csdure II the entsrprising tOKn-that can
bOast Of asheet devoted to the general vel
fare Of il commanity-and Oths r signs of en-
tsrpriss all these things that call forth the
admiration of the more populated States, and
especially the citizens Of Old Pennsylvania
Then to cap the climax and inortfy all the
pleasure and agreeable feelings that had bssn
been brought into exercise BY the perusaI Of
those things already stated, 1 tarn my eyes to
the piece prefacsd in large Istters ~Wood,"
and than to read Of the chilly condition Of the
Editor, his bettsr-half and youngzten, seated
not like / comfortably IN a room that admits
no chilling winds-at least aos through the
cracks and c~reyices; can it be possible that the
nobls-hearted patrons of the Nebraska Adj
~vertiser' viii let their generoas Editor shake
By the side Of q large hearth that only lacks
wood, yes wood ! to make it Hs comfortable as
the room 1 now occupy? No, I cannot think it
possible Of a people that are a gO-headative
people So 1 am led to believe BY my frequent
perusals Of the welcome sheet from Nemiha
county, not only d go-ahead people in the az
foirs of this life, lut I read in the aAdvartisers
that they forget not that there is a future
world, if the erection Of Churches is a mark
Of their devOtednpss to the glorious cause Of
Religion. No slender other nations Of the
globe stand and Nlith amazement gaze upon the
ambitious and highly favored nation styled
Young America-" But a few years ago in
the county I now write from, yes, and even
throughout the major part of the State, the
hideOus yell Of the Red Man echoed and re-
echoed through the forest that then in grandeur
occupied the ground, upon which, at the pre-
sent day, stands erected the noble and Useful
structures of man; instead of the smoke that
arose from the camp-6res of the Indian we
low can behold smoke ascending from the
furnace, factory, and quiet dwelling of ciyiliz-
ed man, and winding its way onward and up
ward, as if to pay homage to the Maker OF the
Universe. And through whom this mighty
change has bren wrought? Civilization, rest
less and uneasy, was not to be hemmed in By
the Ohio River, or the rolling wate-s Of the
Mississippi; but ~graspingly, onward and west
ward did it wend its course until it has reahced
even into Nebraska Territory, from whence
we hear 0y Herusing the "Advertiser'O thai
civilized ma is busily applying the axe to the
stately tree, and the erection Of edi6ce aftel
edifce, until, instead of the forest. there stand.
a town, or q city, the workmanship of energetit
and ambitious men.
