", and that it would be rudeness to require them
alter their determination, or break their word. And
as the Indian never makes a show of civllty but
when prompted by genuine feeling, so he thinks
others actuated by similar candour. l really
feel ashamed when consider how severe a rcbukc
this carries with it, to who boast of civilization
but who so much carried away BY the general
nsincerity of expression pervaling all ranks, that
few indeed to be found who speak Just what they
wish or know. This duplicty is the effect of what
is termed high state of refinement. We taught
to conduct our language that others cannot dis
cover our real views and intentions. The Indians
are not only free from this decetfulness but surpass
us in another instance of true good breeding and
dccorun-namely, of never nterrupting those who
converse with them, until they have done speaking
and then they reply in the hope of not being them
selves interrupted This was perfectly exemplhed
by Miss Brandt and her brother and l hope the
lesson which my daughters so forcibly taught
by the natural poeness of their hostess, will never
be forgotten by them, and that l also may profit b.
the example"

sNot all the persuasions of her kindred could
prevent her from going to the place of executions
she was determined to see the last of person so
dear to her, and accordingly followed the sledges

to consume that heart she knew much de-

tons for his fate, without betraylng any of those
emotions her friends apprehended, but when all
was over, and she found he was no more, she threw
her head back into the coach, and calculating,
