Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1858-10-19

'Noint each other for their station,
In Natures temple there.
Old bruins fat they use for oil,
And whisky use for wine;
Triumphant mid their slaughtered spoil
They make their faces shine.
laug III to see the thOughtless scene,
Yet wonder at the sight
OF marks behind the mirthful screen,
By Nature made that night.
Then one web Of ages ended,
Warp and woOf were broken,
Desert from her loom descended,
Slaughtered beasts her token.
Bouncing Peace, the rustic maid,
All to herself unknown,
Rude hands upon old Desert laid
And dragg'd her from her throne.
The pets Of Solitude were slain,
Improvement to enlarge,
& Solitude gave up her reign,
And Science took the charge.
Nature held a celebration
Behind that mirthful screen;
Confused shadows Of Creation,
Were through the canvas seen.
That rude amounting did anoint
A nobler race of kings,
Whom Nature did herself appoint
To do the noblest things.
Did they know their high commission
The value Of their erownl
Did they see the glorious vision
Before their minds let down.
Ordain'd the founders Of Stats,
Heads of generations,
Beyond all estimation great,
Wonder Of the nations.
l gaze upon the State they founded,
Wander where they hunted;
Mark the growth and wealth unbOunded,
Light and peace unwonted:
Gaze down the future vast Outspread,
And tremble with surprise,
To see such men the standing head
OF all the hosts that rise.
That rude scene marks the hour,
As nothing else has done,
When Desolation lost her power
And Art her Viet'ry won.
Most of that joviAl, noble band,
Have passed from Earth away,
But still some seatter'd DER land,
Are living to this day.
Now if these should have a greeting
On the old hunting ground,
And the people come to meeting,
From all the counties round,
From whence the hunters came Of old,
Form the line as once Of yOre,
Drive in the game the line would hold
As they did drive before
Leave not living thing behind,
Drive women, men, and boys,
Drive girls in stacks of goods behind
Before the horrid noise
Drive oxen, horses, sheep, and dogs,
Drive every goose, and hen,
Drive all the calves, colts, COWS, and hogs,
Before the noisy men
Drive buggies, wagons, carts, and sleds,
All loaded up with goods,
With axes, plows, pals, pots, and beds,
From out the noisy woods,
Take the whole township by surprise,
And drive it in by storm,
Till plunder at the center lies,
In eV'ry shape and form.
Take every action in good part,
And call it all Fair,
sure would try with all my heart,
And meet the hunters there.
have myself hunter been,
And, aided by my hounds,
More than one hundred wolves have slain,
On western hunting grounds.
/ have been myself Pioneer
From my young manhOod's birth,
With owls and wolves, all bowling near,
Oft slept upon the earth
Still am not Settler old,
Nor cen q settlers boy;
l am a Rover wild and bold,
And rowing my employ.
I've seen my country far and near,
love her hill sides well 1;
Ev'ry pebble to me is dear
Beyond my power to tell.
But dearer far than aught beside
The Settler and his child,
Around whose huts in forests wide
The wilderness hath smiled.
The schools they've founded are my joy,
Their temples my delight;
May God my heart and hand employ
To crown them all with light
Say now, ye Hinckley Hunters brave,
Will you have meeting
Ere you descend into your grave,
For each others greeting:
Meet and see each others faces
Meet yourselves in private;
Then call the people from their places
You can best contriYe It.
Will to them the vast possessions
You took from Solitude
Take from them their glad confessions
OF lasting gratitude
