Indian notion Of Writing.--" Brother
Moses NJ. Henker, who preceded Broth
er Finley on the Wyandot Mission, gives
the following anecdote, which affords
an interesting view Of the ingenuity Of
the uncultivated mind Of the Indian:

Wyandots, most of them werev entirely
ignorant of the art Of writing. One day
was observed by an Indian recording
some remarks in my journal. He ap-
preached me, and for some time very
mlDutely observed the process; then.
pointing TO what was written, he inauir-
ed, What do those marks mean?' /

ideas OF the nature and advantages Of
writing; after which he paused in a
silent meditative mood for some consid-
cradle time, and then said, This art

over us Indians /; for you have better,
safer record for your notions than we.'
