verer, there lived on the island Of Man
hattan, an lndipn Chief, named Teluy-
iah, the soaring Eagle. He possessed
every thing that made man great among
the aborgineS OF our country. In the
council he was eloquent aud wise /; m
! tie chase his arrow never missed the
nimble dor, and the trophies that dec
Grated his hut told whaI he was in war.
Twenty summers had hardly PASSED u
Yer his head when he was chosen cinel
oil his tribe, aud TO many glorious VIC
tory he led It's warriors. Iet envy, the
envy Of age, h. opposed him ia all his
designs and now, when he had return
