THE EAST AND THE WEST.


THE EAST AND THE WEST.
Written by Theodore Winthrop seven years ag
and after his death was found among bis pnPuo
ished papers.l
We of the East spread our sails to the sea,
YOri of the West stride over the land
Both are 10 scatter ths hopes Of the Free,
As the sOwer sheds golden grain from his hand
T is ours to circle the stormy bends
...Of continent yours its its ridge to cross;
We mast double the capss where q long world ends
Lone cliffs where two limitles. oceans Joss.
They meet and are bafled mid tempest and wrath
Brtezes are skirmishing. angry winds roar,
While poised on some desperate plung Of our path
We count UP the blackening wrecks on the shore
And you through dreary and thirsty ways,
Where rivers are sand and winds are dust,
Through sultry nights and feverish days,
Move westward still as the sunset must:
Where the-scorched air quiFers along the slopes,
Where the slow-fo ooted cattle lie down and die.
Where horizons draw backward til bafHsd hopes
Are Wsary Of measureIess waste and sky.
There are stars above us, and stars for yon,-
Rest on the patti. and calm Oh the main
Storms are but zephyrs, when hearts are true
We are no weaklings, quick tOcomplAin,
When IightningI fash bivouac-fires into gloom,
And with crushing of forests the rains sheet down
Or when ships plung onward where night-clOud
loom,
Defiant Of darkness and meeting its frOwn.
These are the days Of motion and march,
Now we are ardent, and young, and brave
Let them that come after US build the arch
OF our triumph, and plant with the laurel or geaVe
Time enough to rear temples when heroes are dead
Time enough to sing peans after the fght:
Prophets urge onward the futures tread
We,-wE arc to kindle its beaeon-light.
Orr sires lit torches Of quenchlsss fame
To illumine our darkness, if night sbonId be;
But day is friend to our Standards, and shame
Be ours, if We win not a victoryI
Nan is nobler than men have been,
Souls are Easter than souls have dreamed
There are broader oceans than eyes have seen,
Moons more glowing than yet have beamed.
Creeping shadows cover low on our land;
Thesa shall not dim our granier day:
Stainlest knights must be those who stand
Full in the van Of worlds array
When shall we cease our meagre distrust?
When to each other our true hearts yield
To make this world an Eden, we Iaust
Fling away each weapon and shield,
And meet each man as a friend and mate,
Trample and spum and forget our pride,
Glad to aeeeptan equal fate,
LaboriDg, conquering side by side.

CHAPTER ".

Difficult indeed was it for either the
savages to decide (now that they were
satisfied that the Indian girl was in the
power Of the white Insn) how an ex.
change was to be made. La Frombois
would not of course trust himself in the
power of the Ojibways, and they would
not release the trappeT and trust to hi:
honor to return, after they had treated
him so brutally. The guilty and treacb.
erous are always suspicious of others
Judging them, as they ever do, by theil
own hearts. Perchance some conclusions
would speedily have been arrived at had

PETERSBURG.

Petersburg is handsome city Of from
eighteen 10 twenty thousand resident pop
ulaIion, in Dipwiddie county, Virginia,
on the right or South bank Of the Apo
matox river, at the crossing Of the Great
Southern railroad twenty two miles south
of Richmond, and 10 miles from James
river at City Point. Ii Is the third town
of Virginia IN respect TO population. and
possesses extensive facilities for busin-
ess. Vessels of one hundred tons as
cend the river to the town and those of
larger size to Nalhams Landing. six
miles below. The South Side railroad
has It's eastern terminus at this point
and the AppOmatox railroad connects il
with City Point, az the mouth Of the nv
er. The falls Of the Appouatox, which
arrest the ascent of the tie immediate
ly above Petersburg, furnish extensive
water power. Around these falls a
cannal has been constructed, by which
means small boats ascend the river q
distance of one hundred miles. The
limits Of the borough included the decay
ed village of BlaufOrd, in Prince George
county, which was once superior to Pc
tersburg in some respects. The remains
Of It's church are am ong the most inter-
ssling and picturesque views Of Virginia.
Petersburg is lighted with gas and abun-
dantly supplied with water from a reser-
EOir. Il is well bnilt and naturally
drained, the ground descending grad
ually from the heights on the southerE
outskirts down to the river. The prin-
Cipal public buildings are the Custom
House ands Post Office, Court House,
Mechanics Hall, Phoenix Hall and Pub
lIc Library. There are fifty productive
or manufacturing establishments. The
sales of cotton In 1851 amounted 10 35,-
900 bales. The receipts of tobacco in
1883 were twenty-sIx million pounds,
half of which was manufactured their il
twenty factories.
