Fare thes well, o! Minnehaha.'

Thus it is our daughters leave us,
those we love, and those who love us
just when they have learned to help us,
when we are old and lean upon them,
Comes Il youth with Haunting feathers,
with his flute Of reeds, a stranger
Wanders piping through tho village,
Beckons to the fairest maiden,
KS she follows where he leads her,
Leaving all things for the stranger (!
SrcH is tire pathetic picture of the depar.
ture Of Minnehaha from the wigwam of the
Arrow Maker, her father, after she had been
woocd and won by Hiawa;ha. In how many
thousand homes could the same lament b,
heard dropping from the lips of parents
whose child has risked her hope of happi
ness with a stranger" and gone forth will
him from the paternal roof to call it hom
no more There is no act Ct a mans lif'
which should DO performed with more solici
tude than that Of taking away from kin,
parents and a pleasant home a coniding ant
tInid female to share with him his lot il
lite--to be partner in his joys and sorrows
She leaves "alI things for the stranger"-he
father, mother, brothers, sisters, the home Q
her happy childhood, her Fairgrounds an
her aowers-all forsaken for the love sh
bears for him who has won her heart. Sh

But, alas how often are her fond hope
blasted and the beautiful pictures she per
Ciied all blackened with the storm clouds
9nutterable sorrow. How often does til

pand like o shadow through which no ray

Blass convert him she loves rs life into
