Oh, our friend, our companion, is dead ! Our brother, our brother ! alas, he is gone ! But why do we grieve for his loss ? In the strength of a warrior, undaunted he left us, to fight by the side of the chiefs ! His war whoop was shrill ! His rifle well aimed laid his enemies low; his tomahawk drank of Digiti zed by Google 4IO NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM their blood ; and his knife flayed their scalps while yet covered with gore! And why do we mourn? Though he fell on the field of the slain, with glo...ry he fell ; and his spirit went up to the land of his fathers in war ! Then why do we mourn ?

Oh, she is our sister, and • gladly we welcome her here. In the place of our brother she stands in our tribe.
