INFORMATION USEFUL TO PERSONS DESIROUS OF
SETTLING IN AMERICA.

Where grand Ohio rolls his silver floods,

Through verdant fields, aud darkly waving woods,

Beholding oft, in flowery verdure drest,

The green isle swelling from his placid breast;

Here where so late, the Indian's lone canue,
Swift o'er the wave, in fearless triumph flew,
Behold the stately steam-borne vessel glide,
With eagle swiftness, o'er the yielding tide,
And where so late, its shelter, rude and low,
The wigwam rear'd, beneath the forest bough.
Lo! cities spring before the wondering eyes,
And domes of grandeur swell into the skies.
