INDIAN CRADLE SONG.

Swing thee low in thy cradle soft,
Deep; In the dusky wood,
Swing thee low and swing aloft,-
Sleep, ay 4 pappose shoulds
Tor, safe Ii your little bifcheh ,hestI
Quiet will come, and peace and rest,
ff the little papoose is good.
The coyote howls on the prairie cold,
And the owlet boots in the, tree; ga.
And the big moon shines on the little
child
AS it slhnbefs peacefully.
SO swing thee high in thy little nest,
And swing thee low and take the rest
That the night-wind brings to thee.
The father lies on the fragrant ground,
Dreaming of the hunt and fight;
And the rine-leayes rustic with mournful
sound
All through the solemn night.
But the little papoose;in his birchen nest
Is swinging low as he takes his rest,
Till the sun brings the morning light

Mythology of Plants.

The Greeks and Romans of ancient
times are not the only people who have
curious NEUROLOGICAL stories about the
origin of flowers, says Meehan's
Monthly. Scandinavian literature
abounds with these pretty tales. Even
our Indians had their say, in like man
ner about these things. Among some
of the Canadian aborigines, pines and
cedars originated from strong men
who were planted by their feet in the
ground, and branches grew out from
their bodies, in response to wishes to
live forever. 1t is singular that SINH
lar stories about the origin OF ever
greens have prevailed among ancient
man in many isolated points. The

was undoubtedly the cedar Of Leban-
on-and the Deodar cedar, close re-
lation Of the Lebanon cedar, Is the
