On the beach at Marquette, in the summer sun, llural charms aie waiting visitors who come Seeking healthy pleasure, roaming on the sand, Merry waves resounding up and down the strand. Boats on wings are sailing 'round about the bay, Skift*s are gaily gliding, on a pleasant day, Indians often paddling in their bark canoe, Romance with rosy fingers paints the charming view. ; Air, with balmy pinions, wafts from yonder shore; Breezes from the wild woods sipped from many a flower; Dashing little streamlets where the waters shout, Down beneath the shadows sport the speckled trout; SailiniT o'er the waters in a trallant Ooat, Salmon trout by dozens catching as you float; Hocks, with marks of ages painted on their face- Nature's honored sages— loom with stately grace. ChoniH. We've five hotels and good ones, sparkling, bracing, air. Churches seven, and neat ones, for those who enter there; By the shore at Manpiette, ])leasant place to stay, Since the season opened in the "Charming May." Where can often be seen ton u})on ton of solid wealth ar- riving from the mines above, gliding along the massive piers, and thundering into the vessels lying below, whose snowy wings spread anon o'er the cool crystal water— appearing in the distance like birds of the ocean— propellers and steamers coming and going, streets thronged with smiling-faced visitors, making a programme of interest not to be seen everywhere; and the lovers of nature who now suffer from the heat of a southern sun cannot fail to appreciate the many exhilarating attractions which at this season can be found by a ramble "On the Beach at Manpiette," iVrc. r ■'/ \ ^ *Vv%\\OY'% l^YCa^WV, In my dream last night, I saw a form Whose face was dark as the dusky morn, Whose symmetry one could but admire— 'Twas an Indian Chief in his wild attire. He stood on a hill of iron ore, . And silver lead as a badge he wore. In his right, was a migget ot silver white. In his left, a mass of copper bright. Amethysts, agates, and greenstones, too, Shone as bright as the sparkling dew, While curiosities around him lay Bright as the rainbow, colors as gay. He said in accents broken, low, " Now, nidjie, if you wish to know Where to purchase all such things one needs. You'll ever find them by calling at Meade." THE tai^ Mmp^^ PROFUSELY EMBELLISHED BY . NEMO. MARQUETTE : CHRISTMAS. 1876. ;• \ W •K XiOiV^e. S\\.\k.«,vvov Svv\\%c\. The lake, as a wide-spreading mirror. Lay in its frame of briglit green, Sleeping one evening at sun-set, Tinged with the sky's azure sheen. Air, seemed the breath of the zephyr Balmily floating along. Dancing on emerald pine tops, Merrily humming a song. Sky. was a brilliant blue color. Tinged with a coating of green; • Clouds, just dipped in the rainbow Never more gorgeous were seen. 'Twas as tho' millions of roses Scattered their petals to dry In the pink glow of the sunsliine, Over the beautiful sky. Yonder, were rich auburn tresses, Nestling o'er flgures of gold. While Flora, with crimson-tipped bluslies. Scattered her treasures untold. Here, a huge fiery-like pillar Brilliantly towered on high. Looking as tho' a volcano Had suddenly leaped in the sky. Tliere, seemeil an emerald mountain, Covered with silvery sheep; Down at the base was a fountain — Caverns looked rugged and steep. Scenery celestial — that sun-set — Plainlv portraved on the skv. The work of the good, supreme artist, Doth the most skillful defy. Perhaps, 'twas a gleam of the riches Down in the depths of the lake, Reflected on the bright sun-l>eams; What a grand painting 'twould make! Such a magnificent picture Could any artist but paint; Bright, in the record of ages He'd shine— almost as a saint. Italy boasts of its sun-sets, Heavenly paintings in air; Never yet, in any country, Ever were colors more rare. The author of all, in His goodness, Who formed the earth so fair — Could we discern it, dispenseth Tilings beautiful everywhere. ■PSP m t It TO "ii O F ^. w m THE fff|?9( Pft, OF THE CITY OF MAI\QUETTE, THIS WORK Is Respectfully Dedicated, B Y THE AUTHOR. mr ■«■■ rt«i > I ^^^^^m^msBsmm IS MEADS.

M. ■iH Once powerful nation, Chippewa, Tradition tells, in ancient day Desceniled from this grand old lake, Subduing foes each step they'd take. Unversed were they in many a vice When./?re tcater, thought so nice By some, had never reached these ehores ; (Which many a native most adores,) When each a nol>le heritage Preserved in form and lineage, And blessed their tribe with valorous deeds. When hunters brought their daily needs, When tawny beauties— famed in song— Oft roamed the mossy dells among, And borrowed radiance from wild flowers, And pure as winds that breathe cool showers. From Fond du Lac, down to La Pointe And Keweenaw, their foes disjoint. As sweeping wind.'*, on, on they came, Or rushing streams, when fioods of rain, Or me'itiug snow-drifts in the spring Have raised them high— swept everything. The proud and war like Iroquois Recoil before them like mere boys ; As puppets made of paint and wood In grand array, 'twas thus they stood. Huge war clubs, bows and arrows, stealth And tomahawks, soon sjtoilt their health. A youthful squaw while berrying Beheld a fleet fast hurryiug To reach the Portage entry — She knew it was the enemy— As timid fawn away she flew. And leaping in her light canoe, Sped swiftly o'er tlie little lake. To friends the fearful news to take. Commotion reigned supreme in camp. A couucil held, the sudden tramp Of hundreds on the sod was heard, And shouts that scared both deer and bird. Stern vengeance eat upon each brow, As down the stream they da.sh, they vow Each tomahawk shall send a foe. Anon to realms of bliss or woe. But wait, the foe in ambush lies, (Full certain of a dead surprise,) Down where the river narrows, there They crouch as beasts within their lair. A mighty yell on either side The river bursts, as down they glide. A flight of arrows bore a sting Of death, upon each quivering wiiig. As with the spider and the fly, They're in the snare, and all must die. A net was set, a trap was laid. And ere the night-hawk soared, 'tis said No throbbing heart, or active brain E're moved those warriors red again. The Chippewaa again embark mm Upon their fleet of yellow bark ; Now shouting triumph as they sped, Now flaunting high the scalps of dead Sons of the woods, who'll ne'er return To wailing squaws, who'll ceaseless mourn. By day they skim the shining lake, At night, to silent woods they take ; They tish and hunt to gain supplies From Nature's store, that near them lies. The laugh of victors' war-whoops shrill, Soon echo loud from hill to hill ; While rumbling beats the nation's drum. They eing and jump to turn tum-tum, Which terror spreads to all things near, The timorous bird, the rambling deer ; The crouching lynx, the clumsy bear, Shy foxes, wolves, creep from their lair. Fine stalwart forms, wiih faces red With paint, while feathers decked each head. And claws of bruins dangling hung Around the necks of chieftiaus young. A tomahawk, a scalping knife — That's maybe ended many a life. While bow and arrow, war-club bent, Made up their wild accoutrement. A scalp or two hung by the side Of some, to Ihem the height of pride. A blazing fire the night illumes ; The calumet with curling fumes Spreads harmony around the sceue; For artists 'twas a splendid theme. A novel sight were it to-day, A host like that in wild array ; Plumed, painted, tattoed— long black hair- Now shouting war ciics in the air, Some dancing to the god of wars, And drumming to the fiery Mars ; Some lishing, hunting, playing ball. All lounging when night's shadow falls. There's Wa-gua-miu-na, 0-ta-dan — Young braves who never flinched or ran — Tall Wa-ua-ta-gon, Kin-ka-doo ; Each crushing blow they struck they slew. Still on they go— sail, paddle and row Towards the Sault, that lies below ; When by and-by, ere set the sun. They reach high "Grosscap" one by one. And soon, now comes the " tng of war," The Iroquois' stronghold not far Below them lies, oft vanquished foes. Black hate hath stirred revengeful throes. And raised to gall their savage ire, And set ablaze their native fire. Ye conquering heroes, Chippewas ; Who, by the force of nature's laws. Decrees, it seems, that might is right, Have now no abject foes to fight; And well aware of such stern facts, The medicine man, who ever acts Mtfl 0l*II" The Iroquois and CuipptwAS. — Continued. wW' As prophet, and who Intercedes To Maoltou in all their needs, Invokes his unknown deity For succor in Infinity. His sacred sanctum sanctorum Receives this wise old sagje ; not one Now dares approach his hallowed form, E'en iho' he pleads from night till morn. White buckskin pelts spread o'er his tent; In humble form, with figure bent, He prayed as one in wild despair That One above would hear his prayer. He asked, as thousands often do, The power to make his foes to rue, And wished that every warrior brave Might slay a foe his friends to save ; That fleecy clouds, both thick and white, Might rise to hide them all from sight ; That they, unseen by vigil eyep, Might suddenly their foes surprise. The power of prayer's exemplified. Unless their history has lied, For on the tent's rude covering In rapid taps began to ring Loud raps ; as swiftly, too, they came As pelting hall or driven rfin. And each sound was, the spirit said, A foeman's life, a spirit fled. A dense fog-cloud arose that night, That veiled the moon and stars so bright. Then rose the sage — a ray of joy Shone o'er his face as when a boy. He beckoned each brave to his side, And bid them cheer in tones of pride. The Maniton, be said, had told Him, Iroquois— both young and old — Should, ere returned the morning light, Be in the land that knows no night. AcrooS upon the other side, "Where ebbs and flows the gentle tide, A powerful host, in dread array, Awaited for the light of day. The Chippewas, more wary, bold, Beneath the shade of fog, 'tis told, Soon sailed out in bark canoes — Success Is theirs, they 'vantage chose. Then some above, and some below, As still as death ashore they go Into the woods, no sound or noise Awakes the dreamy Iroquois. As snakes upon the ground they sneak Or tigers crouching for a leap, They presently again unite Behind their foes, caressed by night. O brave, unconscious warriors Entranced in slumber, many years The scouige of many a tawny tribe. Who'd oft beseeching looks deride. No more your conquering ft et shall tread. Wild, painted braves among the dead ; No more the friendly calumet You'll need, or will around it sit ! (The night was hushed, no sound was heard, Not e'en the leaflt-ts soft winds stirred, Nor playful ripples kissed the bhore. Serenely rolling o'er and o'er. ) Upon their sandy beds they lay, A little host, a nation they ; The boast, the picked ones of their tribe— Once powerful savage people's pride. On them, gray twilight's mantle spread A pall, to cover o'er the dead. Before them lay the crystal Inke, Behind them foes, their lives to take, bright dew drops decked half covered forms, A robe of pelts their chief adorns. With beads and paint they look so wild. True type of many a forest child. Sleep, calmly sleep, 'I will be your lost ! Dream fond adieux, your day 's most past ! No more you'll gladden anxious eyes With game or scalps, or foes surprise. A spring! a bound ! unearthly yells As if from Hades, vengeance tells ! The astonished Iroquois from sleep Arose, as when poor, helpless sheep Are set upon by wolves ; and ere They'd time to rally, many were Dispatched to happy hunting grounds, With those who're buried 'neath high mounds. Ah, then ensued a fearful strife— As lions struggling life for life- Fierce grappling, rending, crushing blows. Now dealing death strokes, butchering foee. The work was short, 'twas quickly done— As rose again the golden sun Behind the clouds that ope the^day — Whose rosy fingers paint each ray — A sight appalling met the eye. Poor Iroquois in death all lie Save one, deprived of ears and nose. Who down the river swiftly goes To bear the message to bis friends, The taunting Chippewa now sends ; " When m*n you'd fight with, such as we. Send men to fight ns ; never be Such fools again ; good sense you lack. To send out women on our track." They spread the skulls along the shore ; 'TIS said they reached a mile or more. But for the truth of this I'll not E'en vouch, tho' olt I've seen the spot. But bones lies scattered here and there Along the beach ; the very air Seems laden with the walling tone Of dying men who breathe a moan. Thus, where the lighthouse now doth stand. Beside the point of yellow sand ; Where troubled waves with swellmg noise Oft murmur, stands Point Iroquoia. With such a sweeping victory, Now all elate they shout with glee. And dashing down the crystal stream In bark canoes — as If by steam — Soon reached the spot now called "the Soo," And put to fliifht the helpless few. They made that pleasant place their home. And from their stronghold hunt and roam. And even to the present day. Their oflfsprlng thither love to stay. A moral in my narrative Appears quite plainly — while we live Let caution, and sagacity. With soul determined, ever be Our motto; and the hands should strike The golden chances met through life ; And then, as checkered Fortune's wheel Turns on Its axip, we may feel The friendly hand of good success, Behold her smiling face, unless Life's stormy, ragintr billows rise To sink our bark before it lies Serenely in Hope's sunnv port. Behind the ramparts of her fort. Tho' fortune pmiles on but the few, "Act well our part," whate'er we do. THE PIONEER I EXPLORER (SUPPOSED TO BE HIS FIRST TRIP.) A pioneer with axe in hand, A blanket, pick and gun, A little food, to search the land, Starts with the rising sun. Id fancy's dream, before him lies A mine of shining gold, Of silver, copper, iron— some prize Producing wealth untold. When evening shadows gather 'round, And Flora paints the west; When spotted fawns a place have found Beneath some bush tu rest ; When gentle winds a vesper sigh, And le:iflets catch the tone ; When swallows swift are soaring high And wild beasts love to roam; Beside some green and shady nook, Where scarce a sound is heard, Save music of a babbling brook Or chirp of friendly bird, A dancing fire with curling flames. At evening might be seen ; Sparks soaring through the waving plumes Of nature's locks so green. A bunch of boughs spread o'er the mould; His bpacious tent the skies, Beneath some tree, though nights are cold, Upon the brush he lies. He quaffs the solace of his pipe And marks the smoke arise, Till poudering o'er hU future life, He siiuts his weary eyes. Though slumber hovers o'er him now His thoughts cease not to roam. As balos circling 'round his brow Arc happy dreams of home. A stealthy lynx creeps up to sec, A wolf is prowling there; A bear walks up and steals, may be, Some food that's lying near. He wakes to bear the black thief run. As bushes part and crack ; Too late he hastens with bis gun To bring the bruin back. The morn arrives, the day 's begun. He takes an early meal, And gladdened by the golden sun His thoughts are thoughts of weal. Each rivulet with eagle eye He scans, tho' yet in vain. And searches every blnCE near by — fie looks and looks again To find some precious treasure, which For ages has beeu hid Beneath the soil, to make him rich, Will fortune now forbid ? Each morning comes, each evening goes. Yet naught but rocks and trees E'er greet his eyes — as fancy fiows— No, naught of worth be sees. Fond Hope soon leaves him there, alone. Success, too, droops its head ; His food, too, now is almost gone; Hark ! what was that be said ? " My comp.'^ss gone, I've lost my way ! My feet, alas ! how sore ! i bitterly regret the day I left my cottage door." With drooping head and weaiy limbs He sits him down to rest. While hunger chides as evening flings Its shadows o'er the west. No compass now — no sun to ehiue, Nor moss about the trees ; The hours pass on, he heeds no time, 'lis naught but woe he sees. He wanders on but knows not where, His brain begins to swim, And feelings, touched with dark despair Soon close his eyes, grown dim. He dreams of home, the tender child. And sees it smile and play, When darkness stays its rompings wild He hears it sweetly pray. He marks the sad look of his wife. Beholds her on her knees Imploring One to spare his life — Brave thoughts bis feelings seize. As when a sleeping giant hears The sound of foeman's tread. So he arose and left his fears AH on his leafy bed. Cheered on by thrifty energy, While gaining strength anew, Sound reason gave him back the key To search the forest through. See ! yonder comes, with gentle gait, A "Monarch of the Glen ; " And now 'b the lime ; if he'll but wait A moment more, and then— (An echo wakes each slumbering bill. As when in battle plain A lonely picket in some rill Is by a foeman slain,) He aims, though trembling sore, and fires, A leap into the air ! And presently a deer expires; His food, bis life is there ! Encouraged now by good success, * * •* The sun, too, shming bright, '*,' He hastes to leave the wilderness, „ , , And sets his course aright. \ > > 3 » • •• • ', While passing down a deep ravine, , ,,.,••, With craggy rocks, and high, ' **••*.*•* There, glimmering in the sun's bright shfew*,* '•»' ' ' A something caught his eye ; He scrambles up the steep to see If aught of worth is there ; " Look ! by the powers al>ove," quoth he, " Eureka ! see, 'tis here !

For samples of the ore ; At times A wild, triumphant about R\Bf^B out the forest o'er ; Then Alls his sack, and blazes back A line, as on he goes, That ho may soon retrace his track — His heart with raptnre glows! As when a f!;allant soldier leaves The battle field behind. When foes are as the fallen leaves. He hastens home to And Rejoicing friends, glad welcoming Their hero home again ; So he returned, now triumphing O'er hardships fraught with pain. A meeting — well, the dews of heaven Encircled them once more; The blessings of a home were given, With comfort, as before. Where once an aged forest stood Now waves the golden Krain, And smiling farms, where grew the wood, Adorn each hill and plain. Perhaps a thriving city now Is on the very spot Where first his camp fire spread its glow Around his leafy cot. A benefactor to his race. To hardships well inured. Fond memory will oft retrace The trials he endured. A lesson good, it seems to me. Is by this woodsman taught. His trip into the forest free, That's with adventure Iraught; If, in life's rough and thorny way, We set our course aright. We'll find perhaps some future day, A home that's beaming bright One night, as the rays of The liHiht were retiring. And Nature grown weary, Was hastening to rest; A poor widow sat, bowed with Grief— sad and weeping — As three little cherubs With hunger were pressed. The air, O, how cold! as The wind fiercely whistled Iq anger, and crept through Each seam in the fioor: No fuel! and the bright glowing Embers were dying. As the "woll" lay in waiting To spring— at the door. Next morning, a friend of The friendless and needy — A kindred of Charity- Thought of the poor; And cheered the sad widow With food, and with fuel, And gathered a blessing- Nor missed from bis store. • • t « Those ♦ho lend to destitute widows andorplianswlir reap their reward with a hundred. ft>ld, Interest in the "great hereafter.'! i^ .. ; 'Twas down by the banks of a Musical stream, Where green grasses grov and Trout may be seen; Beneath the warm sun I Wandered one day, To learn what this rolicking Brook had to say. It said, as it merrily Rippled along, *'A gem of the forest, my Heart full of song. I'm up in the wild woods, Down on the shore. Leaping and bounding with Glee evermore. 'Tis here that sweet maidens and Swains often meet. And gather the wild flowers that Grow at my feet, And whisper of joys jet in Store as they roam, And dream of the bliss that Surrounds a new home. I sometimes inform a young Twain, ere they go— Thatls, ifthey donot Already know — Where they can purchase most All things one needs, Of course, it is down by the Corner— at Meads'." SW Sa\ Wv\Wvxv We She sat within the cabin, Beside the open door, Her graceful form reclining; Her thoughts began to soar In soft, melodious cadence. As o'er the waters bright. The enllant ship was gliding Into the silent night. A vision bright came o'er ber — She thought that it was day. And every thing around her Looked curious and gay; Rich specimens, and barkwork, And slippers worked with beads And when her eyes were opened, She found 'twas in at Meads'. Onward, e'er onward! nor think of the past; The present is here it cannot long last, Then seize it, and gather jits fruit ere it dies. The future may then bring a pleasant surprise. 1— 1 1 .-.rrr; Goc(f. sfpck of Choice Confectionery.
