MARCH OF THE ANGLO-SAXON
ft is impossible to contemplate the progress of the Anglo-Saxon race in the New World and in Australia without a feeling of awe, The silent, ceaseless, daily advance of the frontier of civilisation in the far West along the whole extent of that mighty line, oue_ end of which on the snows of the polar circli and the other is scorched by the fiery heat of the topics, is the most wonderful phenomenon of modern times while the increase of our Australian colonies is in most respects even more astonishing. Tiie establishment of the State of California on the shore of the Pacific, and the railroad from New York to San Francisco, has bridged the New World, and settled our sturdy descendants in permanent occupation of both its coasts. The whole continent
of Australia, and most of the islands of Polynesia, are evidently destined to become the seats of the same devouring race. The red Indian of the prairies, the miserable savage of Australia, the brave and intelligent Maori, alike wither away as soon as they come in contact with its onward march.— Blackwood.
