A rich strip of wood land extended down almost to the water s edge, but finally terminated in a smooth green slope, whereon stood, midway between the water and the wood, a little black girl, seem ingly half grown to womanhood. There was no dwelling in sight, no other mortal visible on the shore. She stood in the simplest attitude, motionless as a statue, alone in the green solitude, the darkness of her form relieved by the brighter background of the wood. As I viewed the picture, imagination bo...re me back to the time when the white man first intruded himself on the broad domains of the native possessor of the soil. I pictured the consternation of the untaught Indian, when, for the first time, he saw a vessel moving slowly up this very river. How it must have start led him, seeming a thing of life. And my little image on the shore opposite, was not she, in reality, a young Indian girl, who had been petrified with amazement, as the sailing wonder first burst on her sight, and now stood, solitary monument of a race well nigh extinct?
