1.-THE LAND OF COUNTERPART

THE LAND OF COUNTERPART
When was sick and lay abed,
had two pillows at my head.
And all my toys beside me lay
To keep me happy all the day.
And sometimes for an hour or SO
watched my leaden soldiers go,
With different uniforms and drills,
Among the bed-clothes, through the hills;
And sometimes sent my ships in fleets
All up and down among the sheets;
Or brought my trees and houses out,
And planted cities all about.
was the giant great and still
That sits upon the pillOw-hill,
And sees before him, field and plain,
Tie pleasant Land of Counterpart.
u.-THE WIND.
Isaw you toss the kites on high
And blow the birds about the sky;
And all around heard you pass,
Like ladies' skirts across the grass
o wind ALLOWING all day long!
o wind, that sings so loud a song!
saw the different things you did,
But always you yourself you hid;
felt you push, heard you call,
could not see yourself at all
Owind, ALLOWING all day long!
wind, that sings so loud song!
Oh, you that are so strong and cold,
o blower, are you young or oldr
Are YOU a beast of field and tree,
Or lust stronger child than meI

The Gay Head Indians.

The Gay Head Indians inhabit the
recently incorporated town of Gay
Head drought into notice by the wreck
of the Columbus), on the westerly end
of the County of Dukes, which en-
braces the whole Of the island of Mar
tha's Vineyard. This Indian town has
an area of about 2,4J0 acres, which is
divided into three peninsulas, Nasha-
quitsa, Squipnocket and Gay Head.
This town is nearly severed from the
rest of the island by Menemsha pond.
AT the present time there are about 200
Indians at Gay Head, and unlike many
other remnants of Indian tribes in the
Commonwealth, they have for few
years past been gradually increasing in
numbers. There are about fifty famil-
les. and the people here have been
marked through series of years for
seeking more profitable sources of in
come than their isolated situation natu-
rally afforded, and some of them have
achieved some distinction as efficient
masters of vessels. The morals, edu-
cation and marked indications of civil
lied advancement among them are so
striking that they attract attention
among those who chance to visit their
sequestered island home.
Ii there is spot in all New England
where recluse might wish to find per-
petual repose, free from the troubles
and anXieties of life, Gay Head is the
place, and yet the Gay Headers are
| quite jealous of the influence and ap-
proaches of foreigners, having had q
good deal of trouble with those who
have married some of their daughters
and settled among them.
Formerly any member Of this tribe at
Gay Head could take up, fence in and
improve as much of the land as he
| pleased, and when inclosed it became
his OWL 1t might very naturally be
inferred that such a state OF things
would engender many disputes and
quarrels, but such was not the case.
Such state of things was a kind of
emporium in imperio," not conducted
by any code of laws except bone and
muscle of those taking up the land.
The Gay Head Indians are a mixture of
the red, white and black races. and
there is, too, some Southern blood
among them, and also Portuguese and
Dutch; for listen, here are some of the
names among them, to-wit: John Ran
dolph, Madison, Corsa. Sylvia and
Vanderhoop. Through the intermar-
rying and the coming in of foreigners it
has aImost pushed out the purely In
dian names. They are, on the whole.
