by his little son, boy of nine or ten
years.
After dinner vhriety of fruits was
served, and among the rest were some
peaches, dish of which was handed
to the young Indian.
He helped himself to one with be-
coming propriety; but Immediately af
terward he put the fruit to his mouth
and bit piece out of it.
The father eyed him with indigna-
ton, and spoke some words to him in
low voice, which | could not under
stand, but which, on being interpreted
by one Of the company, proved to be a
warm reprimand for his having been
so deficient in observation as not to
peel his peach. as he saw the gentle
man opposite him had done.
The little fellow was extremely
ashamed of himself; but he quickly
retrieved his error by drawing plate
toward him and peeling the fruit with
the greatest neatness.
Some drink to which he was after
ward helped, not being by any means
agreeable to his palate, the little fellow
made a wry face, as child might nat
urally do. This called forth another
reprimand from the father, who told
him that he despaired of ever seeing
him a great man or a good warrior if
he appeared thus to dislike what his
host had kindly given him. The boy
took the rest of his drink with seem
ing pleasure.

our presence was undesired. Notwith-
