Brother: Two sleeps have psssed since
we heard your ,alk. We have thought up-

Their tears came 10 The rsin-dtops, and
iheH voices in the waiting wind, but tbs
pale faces knew il not. and our land was
taken away.
Brother: We do not now complain.
The Chec,aw suffers, but he never weeps.
You have the sirsng arm, aud we eannet

Great Spirit; so does the red man. The
Great Spirit loves truth. When you took
our country, you promised Us land. There
: is your promise in the book. Twelve
times have ihssrees dropped their leaves,
and yet We have received no land. Our
houses have been taken IRON Us. The
white mans plough turns up the bones Of
, our fathers. We dare not kindle our
: fires; and we, you said we nigh, remain
and you would give us land.
!, Brother: Is this truth? But We believe,
now our Great Father knows our condl-
ton, he will listen 70 Us. We are 40
mourning orphans in our country bu, our
Father will take Us by the hand. When
be futile his promise, we will snswfr bis
B.. talk. He means we'll. We know il.
!, But we canno, think now. Grief has
y IN abe children OF us. When our business
is settled we shall be men again, and talk
to our Ores, Father about what he has
proposed.
Brother: You stand in the nocssins of
gres, Chief, you speak the words OF q
mighty nation. and year talk was long.
My people are small; their shadow scssce-
ly reaches TO your knee: they are sca,,er-
