spire his tribe with desire of obtaining them
Alas he was yet to learn, that the blacklist vices
still prowled amid all the refnements of the most
polished states. Like the murdered kindred of I'M
happy Logan he also fell sacrifice to the treache-

the red altar of that cxtermnating hatred which
many of our people still bear his scattered and I'M
fortunate race.
Onewequa wandering through the forest in
pursuit of game, when he met party Of men who
had recently assisted in the massacre Of an Indian
settlement. They knew Oncwequa, and request

forest. The soul of the Indian darkened they
spoke.

and the wolf bowling loud and discordant from his
hills Clasping her infant to her bosom, she sought
the narrow path that wound through the wood, and
determined not to return till accompanied by her
husband. The night gathered dark around the
wandering savage, and thunder rolled deep and
heavy through the sky. In the pauses of the wind
dying groan struck upon her ear-she followed
the sound-it led her to the body of Onewequa =
A flash of lightning streamed across the stormy bo
som of nature and shed live glare on his con-
vused features; Elohama sunk at his side-succes-
sive flashes now discovered the blood which lay
CONCEALED on his bosom Her shrek recalled him
for an instant to life; he opened his eyes, and fix
ing them his wife, distinctly said, ''Behold the
faith of white men! %
ooh my Onewequa, hast thou fallen thus, and
is there none to avenge thee The arm of the war
rior is broken, since thou art laid low !; but the
young plant at my breast shall gather strength to
crush thy de5troyers When thou hast past yon
sky of storms, thou shalt and converse with
the Great Spirit amid his clouds. Then let all
thy petitions rest on the name of Tecumseh. For
him shalt thou ask the soul of the warrior and the
strength of the mighty Then shall he be as a
whirlwind and storm, that scatter desolation and
death; as a fire spreading over the hill and the val
ley consuming the race of dark sous.''
Elohama paused. The winds died away, and the
raging storm suddenly still The full moon
rent her thick mantle of darkness, and her clear
light streamed here and there through the trees of
the forest. The heart of Onewequa was cold but
a smile of appreciation yet rested on the features
now fixed in death. The voice of Elohama had
been heard and the passing spirit assented as it
| fed The night passed away, and the mourner
transferred her gaze from the marbled body of her
husband, to the placid features of her sleeping child
lock Of her own long hair, yetwet with the storm,
lay the face of the infant warrior Softly she
put it back, while she contemplated his counte-
nance with kind Of holy reverence.
&C. The Great Spirit" she said, has smiled on
the ghost Of Onewequa and granted his petition for
our son. He hushed the bowling tempest, and
babe the moon and stars forth in their glory,
avenge the death of thy father, and appease the sp
rts of his slaughtered brethren. Already art thou
elected the chief of many tribes for the promise of
the Great Spirit is everlasting. Thy feet shall be
swift as the forked lightning thy arm shall be as
the thunderbolt, and thy soul fearless the catar

Such were the consultations of Elohama, and she
looked anxiously forward to the time when Tecum-
sch should realize her prophecy.

"Seest thou that little mound of earth 9'' said the
savage.
The boy fixed his steady gaze on the spot, and
silent. Elohama threw herself on the wild
grass that grew rank round the grave and drew her
child towards her.
''My son, thou art dearer to me than the strings
of my heart-thou art the sweetest flower that
greets my eye as I wander through the forest-thy
voice IS music to my ear, and it is thy affection
which cools my scorching brain when it burns in
frenzy. My son, who like thy mother would have
cherished thy helpless infancy Who like her re-
joices in thy growing beauties
The boy rolled his dark eye on Elohama; it shone
in all the radiance of gratitude and flal affection

Der all say. Thou hadst once father who would
have been more to thee than the mother that bore
thee. He would have gloried in thee, Tecumseh
and thou wouldst have been the light Of his soul
for thee he would have climbed the mountain Steep
and braved the angry storm when the Great Spirit
frowned in darkness-he would have taught thy
infant feet to explore the hidden paths of the forest
and guided thy young arm, when it first aimed the
arrow at the bounding buffalo-he would have
taught thee to build the light canoe, and ride the
deep waters in safety. But he is more; in the
of life has he fallen and he sleeps in the
earth before u.s.
Elohama paused-Tecumsehf for moment SEEM
