    EPIGRAPH: Though distant every hand to guide, Nor skill’d on life’s tempestuous tide, If once her feeble bark recede Or deviate from the course decreed, In vain she seeks the friendless shore, Her swifter folly files before; - The circling ports against her close, And shut the wanderer from repose, - Till, by conflicling woes oppress‘d, Her fouudering pinnace sinks to rest.

    EPIGRAPH: Here stood the Indian ehieftain, rejoicing in his glory ! How deep the shade of sadness that rests upon his story: For the white man came with power—like brethren they met But the Indian fires went out, and the Indian sun has set! And the chieftain has departed—gone is his hunting ground, And the twanging of the bowstring is a forgotten sound: Where dwelleth yesterday? and where is Echo's cell? Where has the rainbow vanished?—there does the Indian dwell.
