FAITH OF AN INDIAN MoTHER.-f a mother
lost her babe, she would cover it with bark, and
envelop it anxiously in the sofest beaver SKINS at
the burial place she would put by its side its era
and burn it in the fire, that her infant might still
find nourishment on its solitary journey 10 the
land of shades. Yet the newborn babe would be
buried not as usual, on scafIold, but by theway
side, that its spirit might secretly steal into the
bosom of some passing matron, and be born again
TO happier auspices. On burying her daughter,
the Chippewa mother adds, not snow Shoes and
beads, and moccasins only, but Sad embIems Of
woman's lot in the wilderness } the carrying belt
and the paddle Il know my daughter will be re-
stored to me- she once said, as she clipped lock
of hair, 81 shall discover her, for shall take il

child, should pass through the grove TO the dwelling
