oam; As couriers, arrows send.Then they need not stand guard at home. But bid them, Enter, friend! Then to the wise he did appeal. Who sat in council there.And told how paleface sometimes deal With those who prove unfair. They would make him a trusted friend. Just to sell him a horse.In Peace all would gain, in the end, What might have been a loss. ^ I^^Hi^^^^K ^w j ^- – : i One of the wise men to him said:Your wisdom fits your clothes, But not until we all are deadWill end the Indians woes. Segwun stood silent, in deep thought, Then quietly walked away;But soon returned, and with him brought A blanket, to display. They knew his father that one bore. When he to council came.Segwun removed the clothes he wore, To show he was the same. These clothes, before their eyes, he burned, To join again their fold—For he, as Indian, had returned To live his life of old. Then lit his pipe, to pass along, To wish them peace and joy.And sang to them his fathers song That was taught him when a boy.

His blanket wrapped all round him, The fire now burning low.The day was breaking, when his slim, Straight form was seen to go. Along the river bank he wentTo watch the day-moon rise, That the Great Manito had sentOut of the distant skies. In smiles he went to his tepee,Although with heart of lead. His mother waiting there, to seeHer son safe to his bed. To greet him now, the wise men came. They would make him their Chief,But only could respect his name— They saw this, to their grief. For there he lay, content at last; Peace came with final breath.The Autumn leaves now falling fast, Segwun lay still in death.

tliis spectacle, that Imust honestly confess to a little disappointment. I always try nowto hear as little as possible about scenery till I come upon it myself,for I am generally disappointed when I learn too much before. Yourmost delightful sensations are when you come upon striking and beau-tiful scenes totally unawares, and that I have often done upon thisjourney, by travelling alone and knowing little about the countriesbeforehand. But Constantinople is a splendid city, as seen from the sea. It isgirdled round by the pure waters, and bathes its feet in them on allsides. A long fork of the sea, called the Golden Horn, runs rightthrough the heart of the city, and divides it into two parts : the southernand principal segment is the Turkish part,styled Stamboul by the natives,and the other portion is called Pcra and Galata, where Europeans reside.Across the frith is the great suburb of Scutari, where the Englishhospital stood in the Crimean War, and on all the projecting heads of O O

CONSTANTINOPLE 71 land villages are built, so that the water appears Uke a lake with numer-ous arms and bends winding through the heart of a large metropolis,but the stranger is most struck with the tapering graceful minarets ofthe mosques. They spring up in pairs, sometimes in fours, like thestems of tall slim trees. Tliese mosques are stupendous buildings,some of them nearly as large as St. Pauls. We landed about eight oclock, and I went to Misseries Hotel, keptby an Englishwoman, and found it more Enghsh looking than any Ihad 3et visited in the East. It is very curious, as you travel homewards,to observe the increasing English complexion of things. One foreigncustom after another is dropped, and old homely ones substituted.For instance, we have had for a long time nothing but wine for break-fast, a light French claret, which is very wholesome, but not palatableto a Briton at such an early hour ; but here the familiar tea and coffeeappear again. Yesterday I first hurried down to get
