Foi the entertainment of some ol the readers of the Repository, I have prepared the following scheme, adapted to the
tench tongue, to which they will find, subjoined, Bernard’s Rose, done into Sonoskrit. This is a flower which I should
be pleased to see transplanted into our vernacular soil.—Perhaps the hint may stir up some of the JLeanders of the village
ti try a hand at this kind of work. Noval.

La Rose.
Tenclre fruit des pleurs de l’aurore,
Objet des baisers, du /.ephir,
Heine de l’empire de 1* lor,
IIate-toi de t’ epanouir.
Que dis-je, helas! diflfere encore,
DifFere un moment a t’ ouvrir:
L’ instant qui doit te faire eclore,
Est c lui qui doit te fletrir.
fhemire est une fleur nouvelle,
Qui doit subir la meine led.
Roar! tu dois briber com me ellc ;
Llle doit passer com me toi.
Descends de ta tige epincuse ;
Viens la parer de tes couleurs;
Tu dois etre la plus heiireu.se,
Com me la plus belle des Hvurs.
Va, meurs sur le sein de Themire,
Qu’il suit son trone et ton tombeau,
falous de ton sort, je n’ aspire
Qu’un bonheur d’un trepas si beau.
Tu verra quelque jour peut-etre
L’asyle ou tu dois penetrer;
Un soupir t’y fera renaitrc,
Si Themire peut soupirer.
I.’Amour aura soin de t’instruire
Du cote quc tu dois pencher ;
Eclate a ses yeux sans leur nuirc,
Pare son sein sans le cacher.
Si quelque main a 1’imprudence
D’v venir troublcr ton repos,
Etnporte avec toi ma vengeance,
Qardc uue epinc a mes rivaux,

I know not whether the piece which
is now communicated for publication in
the Repository, has ever appeared in
print. The manuscript in rny hands is
pretty old and much worn, and as the
matter contained in it appears entitled
to some consideration, I send it to be
preserved as a curiosity in the Wheel
ing Repository. B.
Indian Speech,
In reply to a Sermon preached by a
Swedish Missionary.
[About the year 1T10, a Swedislr'
Missionary preached a sermon at an
Indian treaty held at Conestogo, in Lan
caster county, in which he endeavoured
by certain arguments to persuade the
Indians to embrace the Christian reli
gion. After he had ended his discourse,
one of the Indian Chiefs made a speech
in reply to it. The Missionary, upon
his return to Sweden, published his ser
mon and the Indian’s answer. Having
dedicated them to the University at
Upsal, he desired them to furnish him
with arguments to confute the following
strong reasoning of the Indian.—]
u Since the object of his errand is to
persuade us to embrace a new doctrine*
perhaps it may not be amiss, before we
offer him reasons why we cannot com
ply with his request, to acquaint him
with the grounds and principles of that
religi m which he would have us to a
b an don*
Our forefathers were under strong
p rsuasions, as we are, that those who
act well in this life will be rewarded in
