The Red Rocks.

In sight Of the Erie tracks, between
Su~squehanna and Great Bend, are the
Red rocks, a red cliff standing above
the Susquehanna river. Near them can
be seen traces of he grave of a beauti
full Indian maiden, the daughter of a
famous chief. She was betrothed to a
young brave, a member of her fathers
tribe, then cncampcd near here. Her IA
ther desired her TO marry the son of the
chief OF the neighbcring tribe, and the
wish of the patornal ancestor usually
counted for something.
In consequence she resolved to fly TO
the happy hunting grounds, y and one
night she stole noiselessly from her wig
wan, and, with the death song upon
her lips, flung herself from the high
cliff, her life's blood staining the rocks
below. And TO this day they have retain
ed the reddish hue which the rains and
foods of a century have failed to efface.
When the maiden's lover saw her
mangled corpse, he retired to a cave in
the mountains and never again was seen
alive. Forty years later his petrifed
body was found in the cave by a wan
dering remnant of the tribe. Under his
body were found the long raven tresses
of the old chiefs daughter. New York
