A STRANGE TRADITION.

Among the Seminole Indians there is
a singular tradition regarding the white
mans origin and superiority They
say when the Great Spirit made the
earth he also made three men, all Of
whom were fair-compleXioned, and that
after making them he led them to the
margin Of a small lake, and babe them
leap in and wash. One obeyed, and
came out purer and fairer than before,
the second hesitated moment, during
which time the water, agitated by the
first, had become muddled, and when
he bathed, he came up copper-cOlored :;
the third did not leap until the water
became black with mud, and he came
out with his own color. Then the
Great Spirit laid before them three
packages, and out of pity for his mis-
fortune in color, gave the black man
the first choice. He took hold of each
of the packages, and having felt the
weight, chose the heaviest the copper
colOred man chose the next heaviest,
leaving the white man the lightest.
When the packages were opened the
first was found to contain spades, hoes.
and all the implements of labof the
second enwrapped hunting. fishing, and
Warlike apparatus the third gsF,e the
white man pens, inks, and pal,er, the
engine of the mind-the means of
mutual, mentalimprovement, the social
link of humanity, the foundation Of the
white mans superiority.
