THE INDIAN TOWN.
BY N. KI.APP.

On. know where lies IN the South afer,
Beyond the tropic seas,
D..p in the forest. The wild mems town,
Whsre white doves brood over the roof-top brown
While sad and sweet, in the moonlight bland.
Comes the nght-bird's song of the spirit land,
From the shadow of gian, trees,
Th.r. maiden's meet in the dusky .trset
10 waibie their wild love-lsys,
And little jumps mimic the fors.i cries,
And follow the bat with their wee black eyes,
Or gather ia bands, with tiny cal,
AT .sch gateway of the rude sid wall,
To dance rolnd tina fiend -are's blaze.
And lazily laid by the palisade,
Yet seeming their mi ah toshae,
Or waving lis tail like flag about,
AID pokng tie wall with his taper snoai,
DE- dssins now with his strong, sharp claw,
Foi mes, of ants FOR his greedy NAV,
There liyelh the tAms ant-bsar. 2Y
No mare they travel the war-path there,
With club and long spsar-bow,
Bat his fathers creed aad iis legends Mild
The warrior teaches his lawny child,
10 know in the track of each blazing star
Whcrs tn. homes Of his parted kindredare,
And tine spirits OF just men so.
And oft in IN. clear and silent nish,
Whea winhs have folded wing,
From the cnunril-house, in The quiet street,
Their voices rise in strain 50 sweet,
That the dloaping leaves of ms giant palm
Ssem gently stirred in the iisess calm, Sd
And wider their shades TO fling.
