conquest of the wilderness ild erness by the irresistible advance of the pioneer has gone on and on no ho trumpet nor martial music sounds their advance no thrill of battle ecstasy makes their pulses leap no moving standards lead the way no applauding pla baudin 7 world cheers them no guldon guidon marks t their heir halting place they disappear from the visions 0 of their fellow men as the outgoing ship disappears in the haze that veirs veils the ocean but after a season a new sheen like the wake of a ship in phosphorescent seas shines back along the path that they trod and the world knows that the frowns from another wilderness have been driven away that another signal station has bas been erected that a new path has been smoothed over which tire the delicate feet of civilization
