—Gen.Lew Wallace. WHEN first I settled in the woods,There were no neighbors nigh,And scarce .a living thing, save wolves, And Molly, dear, and I.We had our troubles, neer a doubt, In those wild woods alone;But then sir, I was bound to haveA homestead of my own. This was my field of battle, and The forest was my foe,And here I fought with neer a thought, Save lay the giants low.I toiled in hope—got in a crop, And Molly watched the cattle;To keep those breachy steers away, She had a weary battle. The devils dears were those two steers,— Ah, they were born fence-breakers!And sneaked all day, and watched theirprey, Like any salt-sea wreckers.And gradually, as day by day, My crop grew golden yellow,My heart and hope grew with that crop,— I was a happy fellow. That crop would set me on my feet, And Id have done with care;I built away, the livelong day, Such castles in the air!Id beaten poverty at last, And, like a little boyWhen he has got his first new coat, I fairly leapt for joy.
