Oh lend me your ears a few moments,
And though they APPEAR rather long

- OF a brave Isdian wIrTIor Of ED,
And perhaps the most beautiful lnaiteu
That ever a mortal behedt
All, It's the most wonderful esend
That yet cha leased belief
horribly heart-rending story
T. the Iadsan maid and the chief

You had better here CIT my acquaintance,
And take u your heels at the stlrt-
For ere 1 have fnizheI tbs 4 g nd,

Vel, since you've determined to stand 1t,
Don't saddle the blame upon me, .5....
If ghosts and obgobllns should haunt you,
For Eve warned you just how it viii be-
Itislike very niue L assure YOU
To harroS your feelings that way,
And if you're scared-but no matter.
Then as was proceeding to say
The chieftain as fearless warrior
As ever in battle drew blade, ....
And was madly N love with the maid.
Nor was it & matter cf wonder,
For she was excessively fair,
With form quite as airy ana agile
As aught in earth, ocean, or air
Her hair was as black the devil,
And worn without ringlets or curls;
Her ewes were shlfe or 50 b.acker,
And her t.etn were much winter than pearls
And the chieftain he knelt him before her,
. fs And uttered full many vow,
And the maiden, hUse name was-but hang II
really can't think Of IT now
was about to remark that the maiden
Was forced the CHEERS offer to spurn,
As her love was already invested
Nor life in another concern
And she told him, in language and manner
No words of my own can describe,
That her troth - a other was pli5hted,
And sac could MT wed all OF her tribe
Which was tue for 10 Smith, as at preset,
Had nothing for cl1ico done,
And twas thought rather vulgar for womap
To cling to more ttails than one.
Thought write Of a time these Latter
Day Sinners t. Polysamy bowed,
When solitIry dimity pattern
Was as mucn as man was allowed
But the chiefIain, not wholly discouraged,
As fellow would readily guess,
Again sought Tie lodge of the maiden,
And renewed there his tender address
Bot the maiden she piOusy answered,
In voice less soft than tie flutes,
Which Pm told, aud Of course by tradition,
Quite lifted him out of hrs boots
''Bedone with your silly p LAYER,
Let your tempest OF p4ssiOa be Gained,
For before would promise to wei you.
I'd sse You etefn Hy-m -rable."
And she turned her heel and dep srted,
VIII Ie the chief ain got mai, and right slraight
Made 70 ! of himself in a manner
Who 1 have MT the time to relate.
sufi e it to say, that for nearly
An hour ne did nothing bit rave,
And then he down TO tine river,
And flung himself into the wave.
But when he went under the water,
He thought Of much heavier ills, aff-
Than the ct that ths young lady wouldn't
Let him settle her miliiner's bills.
So he struck for the opposite landing,
Where the water less rapidly ran,
And sIpwIy the bank h as aded,
