An Indian Love Story

The Indian, true to his traditions,
is full Of romance. When Miss
Alice L. Bonine, one of the cleverest
teachers at the Lincoln Institute
Indian school at Wayne, Pa, was
returning from Rosebud Agency in
Dakota, after selecting a lot of In
dian girls, she stopped with the
party at a house on the plains
waiting for a girl who was to be
brought to her at that point. There
also happened to be waiting there
from another territory, on his way
east, Edwin Ashley, the young son
Of an Indian chief, who was
going to the Indian school at Hamp-
ton to be educated. The moment
he laid eyes on her Edwin fell des.
perately in love with Hattie
Choncula, one of the biggest girls
in the party, and by strange
unanimity she fell desperately in
love with him. They were very
much together all the way coming
east so much so that Miss Bonine
had to interfere. When they
separated it was with evidence of
distress on the part of both, and
they have cOrresponded regularly
ever since. AS neither of them has
progressed very far in the mastery
Of written English, they have re-
course to a modification of the
traditional picture writing of their
savage ancestors. Since her arrival
Hattie has been strangely afflicted
with lOvesickneSS. 1t appears that
with an Indian this is a malady of
more consequence than usual
Anyhow, one night Hattie, having
meantime refused to eat or study,
declared that she must die, and
carrying a bread-knife with her
from the table, declared her inten-
tion to cut her throat. This was
going too far, and discipline had to
be resOrted to. She was giving a
good shaking and told ifshe talked
of suicide again she would be
thrashed. This appears to have
had the desired effect, and she
has calmed down, but says she will
not be happy until she has Edwin
her brave.' Hattie is about seven
teen years old and Edwin a few
years her senior.

The Star spangIed banner.

O say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What SO proudly we haiPd at the twi-
lights last cleaning;
Whose stripes and bright stars thro' the
perilous night,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so
gallantly streaming;
And the rockets red glare, the bombs
bursting in air.
Gave proof thro' the night that our Flag
was still there,
O say does the Star-Spangled Banner yet
wave,
Der the Land of the Free and the Home
of the Brave.
On the shore, dinly seen thro' the mists of
the deep,
Where the foes naughty host in dread
silence reposes;
What is that which the breeze, DER the
towering steep,
AS it fitfully blows, half conceals, half
discloses;
Now it catches the breeze of the mornings
first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines in the
stream,
IT'S the Star-Spangled Banner, Oh long
may it wave,
Ger the Land of the Free and the Home of
the Brave.
And where is that band who so vauntingly
swOre,
That the havoc of war and the battles
confusion,
A home and country shall leave us no
more
Their blood has wash'd out their foot
steps pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave,
From the terror offight, or the gloom OF
the grave;
And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph
doth wave,
Ore the Land of the Free and the Home
of the Brave.
OH thus be it ever when Freemen shall
stand,
Between their lov'd home and the wars
desolution;
Blessed with victr and peace, may the
Heaven-rescu'd land,
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and
preserved us a nation:
Then conquer we must, when our cause il
is just,
And this be our motto,-'In God is Oul
Trust
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph
shall wave,
Ger the Land of the Free, and the Home
of the Brave.

He was a young lawyer, and
was delivering his maiden speech .
Like most lawyers, he was forid,
rhetorical, scattering and weary.
For four hours he talked at the
Court and the jury, until everybody
felt like lynching him. When he
got through, his opponent, a
grizzled old professional, arose,
looked sweetly at the judge and
said:
your Honor, l will follow the
example of my young friend who
has just finished; and submit the
case without argument.
Then he sat down, and the sill
ence was large and oppressive.
