ws are to speak.
About two years ago, an Indian Of
the Chippewa Internationally said
TO have been man Of some rank in his
tribe. but now Missionary Of the Me-
tbodist Church among his red brethren
was sent TO England, to obtain De.
cunisry aid for the Indian mission cause
IN Upper Canada. Whist was his ma

and romancers have alike invested the
primitive sons Of the American forest,
with noble aud exalted characteristics.
which are seldom diseernable to the
daAer perception Of plain matter Of fact
people and which English eyes could
alone discover in the hero Of the present
story. But no matter: Mr.. Peter Jones
was not only a Missionary from the
wIiderness,-and, as we doubt not, q
Pious and useful man among his own
peopie,-but he was n BONA FIpE In :
dian-and he was Of course made a
LION Of in London. He was feasted
BY the rich and the great. Carriages,
and servants in livery awaited his plea
sure, and bright eyes sparkied when
he was named. He was looked upon
as . great chiefs prince-an Indinn
king; and many romantic young ladies,
who had never passed You'd the sound
OF Bow bell, dreamed Of the charms Of
solitude amid the great wilds-" the
antres vast and deserts idle, "--of the
greater west;-ofthe roaring OF mighty
cataraets, and the bounding of buffa-
Ices over illimitable prairies;-of no.
bic ehisftains, leading armies Of plum
ed and lofty warriors, dusky ~ the

ii was so:-

Among sthers who perchance may
have thought Of" Kings barbara, pearls
and gold" was the charming daughter
OF gentleman Of Lambeth, Of wealth
and responsibility. But she thought
not of wedding an Indian, even though
he were . great ehief-er q half king
not she! But Peter Jopes saw. or
thought he saw-for the Indian cupids
are not blind-that the young lady had

therefore, Of . ride with the fair crea.

abe chose not 10 uHderstand-but told IL

opportunities Of saying similar things
which the damsel could not comprehend
-''before him''-but she continued
TO repeat them 10 her mother. lie
sought an interview with her. Itw
refused. He repeated the request
IL was stili refused, but in a less posi-.
tive manner. Finally an interview
was granted him with the mother-and
the result was, that before Peter Jones
embarked on his return TO his native
woods, IT was agreed that they might
breathe their thoughts TO each other on
paper across the great waters. Thus
was another punt gained. And, in
the end, To make long story short.
