THE INDIAN PROPHET.
pr THE nARp oF TOWER uAIL.


Three hundred years of good and i'll
Have passed, since on this ground,
There dwelt red man, of strange skill
The future to expound
The prophet sci beneath tree,
Amidst landscape fair,
And watched the un.sailed waters free
OF distant Delaware.
AT length he cried, with sudden start,
"What changes in this scene
Shall prove a strangers might and art,
When ages intervene
This green and widely spreading grass,
These woods where wild deer range,
see give place unto II mass g.
Ofbuildings huge and strange
Upon this spot, where now sit,
A mighty pile shall stand --s
My words would yainly strive to hit
It's size and structure grand
There countless white men shall repair,
And find it in their power
Rich garments constantly TO wear
By dealing at that Tower y
Our stock being constantly replenished b
large daily additions, we arc enabled to ofI'
large assortment of all kinds, styles an
sizes of clothing, at the lowest possibl
