A few years ago while travelling over
the Bloomsbury and Lackawana Railrcn't,
as We were passing through tie val. y
of Wyoming, and looking over its n.tg.
nifcent scenery, a friend remarked 'l"t
"he did not wonder that the red met It
the forest fought desperately for such
home"
Pennsylvania has many scenes which
might elicit similar remark and if anv.
thing like the same feeling of patrioti<:h
which inspired the savage warriors, whiio
struggling for their native grounds, nov
glows in the bosoms of the more enligh,.
ened people who possess this favored land,
they will not continue to live in "lazY
ease" while rebellous invaders are ar.
preaching our borders. If ever people
had country worth fighting for, or df-
ing in defense of, surely Pennsylvaniaus
should feel that they have such land,
and knowing its worth, they should adopt
corresponding means to protect it FROM
invasion.
