The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1870-07-06

Yet sternly bids thy hero yield
Life's sweetest throb on honor's field.
The love nrst proved at Bunker Hill.
Survived Atlanta day Of death;
Nor yielded at the Wilderness
Its last of patriot breath
And still IL lives, unperishing,
Beneath thine Eagles sheltering wing;
And still its burning-beat shall be
The tie of Life to Liberty
VI,
We hail thee, Daughter of the snn,
Who clasped the hand of Washington;
And nerved IL with the strength to smite
A conquering blow for thee and Right.
Who touched, with lightning power, the pen
Our martyred Lincoln moved for men,
And granted his great heart TO be
TIN noblest one that bled for thee.
His was the hit Of power that made
The soul of Grant its battle blade,
And both were thine; and both shall be
Their %country's boast, eternally.
VII.
We hail thee. calm.browsd Child Of Powerl
Our wall Of strength in dangers hour.
Genius of Good, that lifts our sight
Forever to the True and Right:
Proud patron Of the poor thy glance,
That made the ploughboyis soul his crown,
Will bow or break each gilded lance
The world may lift to put him down;
And, STOPPING still, with gesture meek,
To lift the lives that wrong has bowed;
Thy smile hath flushed the pain-paled check.
@ 1850 AAA't ~ pun w IARhAs
All hail, strong shelter Of the weak;
Thine arm is round the helpless thrown;
No strangers children vainly seek
The bread Of life that feeds thine own.
Hail, guardian Genius Of the Freel
Hail, star-eyed Liberty
VIII.
Child of the SUM the roses bloom
Forevermore TO wreathe thy brow:
Time shall not look upon thy tomb,
Nor taunt thee with u broken vow.
Still shall thine eagle seek the hight,
Still battle his pinion in the light,
And still ~exultxnt soar.
Girl Of the gods that grow not gray,
Child Of the gods that passed away.
With shadow. from thy dawn OF day.
Live thou foreYermorel
At the conclusion Of the reading of
this noble poem, which was greeted with
applause in many of its finest passages,
a consultation was had between the
President and several gentlemen on the
stand as to the proprieiy of %adjourning
to the Atheneum, as n raiD-storm was
evidently imminent. The adjournment
was had, and none too soon; for scarcely
had the crowd seated itself in Estes
Theater, when a deluge Of rain COM
menced to fall. The theater was lit up,
and n large number of ladies occupied
the front seats. the private boxes and the
stage. Hon. Frank Tilford was intro
duced, and delivered a very eloquent
Grafton, which we shall publish entire
tomorrow. Its sentiments throughout
were of the most patriotic character:
and 1t abonnded in happy and striking
metaphor, clothed in ford and tasteful
rhetoric. II is needless to say that the
audience listened to the fine effort with
rapt attention. and poured encominns
of applause upon the graceful orator at
frequent intervals. But we shall not an
ticipate the pleasure Of its reading by a
further review.
The President announced that the
Philharmonics had become scattered,
and dismissed the audience without fur
Their ceremony.
MISCELLANEOUS.
We have the pleasure of announcing
hat the 4th Of July passed not only
pleasantly and smoothly in Hamilton,
but that a better behaved population
never celebrated the day. One or two
little scrimages, late in the day. occurred
between parties who had over-eelebrated
in bumpers; but nothing deserving of
particular mention. In the evening the
streets were crowded with people, and in
the absence of any regular display Of
fireworks, flush citizens bought and
fred of rockets, snakes, Roman can
dies. wheels. decorators and in'onRtors.
and indeed NIL the variety of fireworks
known to pyrotechnists. At DIR. Spald-
ing's residence, on Mill street, a number
of rockets and other fireworks shot
across the sky, whilst a large bonfire,
near the water tank, Illuminated the
neighborhood.
