An adventurer, white man, some

and being present at one oftheir religious
ceremonies, told them they were in error
that the white people away toward the

scrihins the true method of worsn,pping
the Grea. Spirit, and then gave them a

ccived them kindly, confirmed the report
and gave them a full history Of the crea-
ton, ard progress Of man down to the ad-

FAREWELL TO HOME.

Tho far from all hold most dear,
go, new joys. new friends to find,
Yet oft shall memory linger here,
And dwell on all I've left behind.
NO change ofplace, or change Of name,
Can make my heart one moment stray;
Firm my regard will still remain,
Tho am gone and far away.
Farewell my parents. tho go
From under your protecting care,
Still let patcrnal love bestow
A Fathers wish, Mothers prayer.
And when your little flock with JOY
Assemble at the close of day,
Oh! in that hour one thought'employ
On that stray lamb that's far away.
And thou, in whom maternal love
Was with the tenderes t friendship join'd
Who, when depressed, to cheer me strove
Andjoy'd the most when fate was kind
! bid farewell! may health and peace
Burnish the evening Of thy day,
But when most blest, oh. never cease
To love thy child that's far away.
Scenes Of my childhood all farewell:
A last. faint glimpse Of you I've taken,
Yet on your charms shall memory dwell,
And dreams of other days awaken.
We woods, where oft Eve roved SO cheerly
Will not your echo " axe in sorrow,
When she who loves your shades SO dearly
Shall bid you all adieu tomorrow.
Yet tho from all ! hold most dear,
go, new joys, new friends to prove,
This peaceful home, these friends sincere
My heart shall ever-ever love!
