The Speech OI A Wise Indicrn

(The following is part of a speech of the famous Indian chief, Red Jacket, replying to a white missionary who had come to talk religion to the Seneca Indian Tribe.)

"You say that you are sent to instruct us. how to worship the Great Spirit agreeably to His mind; and, if we do not take hold of the religion which you white people teach, we will be unhappy hereafter. You say that you are right, and we are lost. How do we know this to be true? We understand that your religion is written in a book. If it was intended for us as well as you, why has not the Great Spirit given it to us as well as to you, and why did He not give to our forefathers the knowledge of this book with the means of understanding it rightly? We only know what you tell us about it. How shall we know when to believe, being so often deceived by the white people?

"Brother, you say there is but one way to worship and serve the Great Spirit. If there is but one religion, why do you white people differ so much about it? Why not all agree, as you can all read the book? Brother, we do not understand these things. We are told that your religion was given to your forefathers and has been handed down from father to son. We also have a religion which was given our forefathers, and has been handed down to us, their children. It teaches us to be thankful for all the favors we receive, to love each other, and to be united. We never quarrel abotrt religion.

"Brother, the Great Spirit has made us all, but He has made a difference between his white and His red children. He has given us different complexions and different customs. To you He has given the arts. To these He has not opened our eyes. We know these things to be true. Since He has made so great a difference b,etween us in other ways, why may we not conclude that He has given us a different religion according to our understanding? The Great Spirit does right. He knows what is best for His children; we are satisfied. Brother, we do not wish to destroy your religion or take it from you. We only want to enjoy our own.

"Brother, we are told that you have been pleaching to the white people in this place. These people are our neighbors. We are acquainted with them. We will wait a little while and see what effect your preaching has upon them. If we find it does them good, makes them more honest and less disposed to cheat Indians, we will consider again what you have said. Brother, you have now heard our answer to your talk, and this is all we have to say at present. As we are going to part we will come and take you by the hand, and hope the Great Spirit will protect you on, your journey, and return you safe to your friends."

Mcrtter oI Choice

A red hound was howling mournfully, while his mountaineer master chewed tobacco and half-slept. A passer-by said to him:

"What's the matter with your dog?"

The mountaineer said, "They's nuthin'wrong with him. He's jest sittin' on a burr, an' he's too lazy to git offin it.,'

Business As Usucl

I feel there is only one method, That honesty pays in the end, That truth in travail, will triumph, That money is not worth a friend; Integrity-finest of virtues, Fairness-has worthwhile appealI'd better shut up all this nonsense Before I lose out on some deal.

A Sense oI Humor

The phone awakened Lapeedas about three in the morning. A man's voice asked:

"Is this the residence of Mr. Cornelius Astorbilt?"

"Oi! Yoi!" laughed Lapeedas. "Ffave YOU got a wrong number?"

One Line Philosophies

Discretion of speech is more than eloquence. Bacon. A wise man in time of peace prepares for war. F{orace. To err is human, to forgive divine. Pope. Mockery is the fume of little hearts. Tennyson. Nothing is more terrifying than ignorance in action. Goethe.

Of all the virtues, gratitude has the shortest memory. Walpole.

Sqid Shakespecre

To gild refined gold, to, paint the lily, To throw a perfume on the violet, To smooth the ice, or add another hue Unto the rainbow, or with taper light

To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish fs wasteful and ridiculous excess.
