HISTORIC TALES OF OLDEN TIME.

may have been the very path first tracked from time immemorial by the roving Indians themselves. On many a selected spot, which we now admire for its rural charms, may have been lighted the council fires of many Sachems, and there may have pealed the rude eloquence of Tamanend himself-or of the Shingas, Tedeuscunds, and Glickicans of their tribes!

Finally, to minds cultivated and informed, there is much in the contemplation of the past, to generate good feelings and strong interests for "country and home." Such may exclaim with generous emotion,

"Is there a youth with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land!”
