A BLAckFooT INDIAN STORY.

Thcre was ono great tribe Of In
dams living near the Rocky Mountains
They used to tell a strange story OF
an adventure experienced By n war
party OF their tribe. Whether this
story be true. I know not. but mover
theless thcy tell II for truth.
Once, a party of this tribe went away
10 cross the mountains. They killed
many Of their enemies. for which pur-
pose they had made tho journey, and
then they started home ward. Thoy
did not take tho usual war path, for
fear Of their enemies following thcn,.
They went back through the widest
part OF the mountains.
The Journey up tho mountain was
an easy ono. but when it came to go.
Ing down, quite H different scene pre-.
scented Itself. They had 10 let them.
selves down BY ropes from one cuff
TO another. At last they stood on n
wide ledge OF rock, and could neither
go up nor down, 20" It was about zoo
feet down to another landing.
The indians slept on tho rock all
night, and their chief made short
speech 10 them. telling them that the
great indian god would not be pleased
IL they all stayed and starved like
towards, and that Il would DO better
that they should oil Jump or and die
like brave mon.
After the chief Jumped off. The whole
tribe with tho exception Of two, fol-
lowed Tho two that were left on the
rock were youhg brothers, and the
eldest triod hard TO get hla brother to
jump. but couldn't, SO he grew angry
and threw him headlopg off tho clift.
The Indian then threw over all the
blankets, guns and provisions, for he
thought they would need them OH
their way to the land of spirits. He
then sang his death song, and dashed
over the cliff. He sank deep in the
midst of a great snowdrift. After. a
hard time getting out, he found all

owe Kissed Beneath the MistIctoc.,
We kissed beneath the mstletoe
Twenty-sevcn years ago.
And we were younger then than now,
Tho light of youth WAS on our brow;
And We were sweethearts years ago
Under the waX-llke migtletoc.
We kissed beneath tho mistlctoe,
/ was tvo and you were four.
And I must klsa your dolly, too
My round cheeke caught the holly'a
hue.
But / did as YOU bid. I was your beau,
Twenty-seven years ago.
We kissed beneath the mistIetoe
J"enty-seVen years ago.
we keep the custom UP, you know,
am both husband, dear, and beau,
And we arc sweethearts rs long ago
Under the waX-llke mistIctoc.
