is ovcrdrawn. 1t is true Indians are hospitable
to Indiana, aud 70 white people also but in the
latter case especially, they are selfish in their
giving they expect to receive as much again in
return. In a Dakota wigwam a stranger is
generally welcomed but if he should stay half
as long, and be half as rude, as Hiawatha's
guests, he would have many silent, if not spoken,
intimations that bis presence was not desired.
But there were sad days in Hiawatha's tent
The beautiful and the good Minnehaha, or
CurIing- Water, meets a doom from which we
would gladly have seen her delivered, and fifteen
years added to her life. 1t is really too bad
that the only Dakota woman in the book should
have been taken to the land of the Ojibwas to
starve to death. In the estimation of Dakotas,
she might almost as we'll have been scalped at
once. Indeed we could have done better by her
at home. Although often reduced to the neces-
sty of living on roots and berries, it is not very
often that one dies of starvation here: But
nevertheless the chapter which narrates the
sickness, death, and burial of Minnehaha, is the
most enchanting part of the book. 1t is all
Indian. The presentiment of Minnehaha's death
that came over Hiawatha, away in the forest
uio OWu UieV0I "ohiuS "ueu uo ouecrSu
desolate wigwam where lay his wife dead; i; and
the burial which came after,-are all purely
Indian.
Icannot refrain from saying that Hiawatha and
Minnehaha ought to have been Christians. Nay,
they are too perfect. Men have faults, and
truthful biography will reveal them as we'll as
their good traits. But Indian legends are gotten
up in the same way as the memoirs of those We
| love-the characters purged from their i'm
perfections, the bad is forgotten, the good alone
is remembered.
Hiawatha's heart had gone with Minnehaha. 1t
| is fitting that he should not remain long behind.
He is not dead, but gone-sailed away on the
Gitche Ounce, in the dusk of evening. Fare
| we'll, Hiawatha, gone
sTo the kingdom of Ponemah,
To the land of the hereafer.''
| And old Nokomis lives still. She of lunar Or
igin has taught US one thing, for which we will
| remember her--viz that the man in the moon"
| is not a man, but a ,ooman.
Thanks to Mr.. Longfellow for Hiawatha. We
| have read it with pleasure and profit. 1t is bet
ter then " "Evangeline." May he live to write
another book, and we live to read it, and, in our
hearts, thank him again.
