The wise man '.- : commenced, In • the beginning. the 'Great Spirit made this earth; and-he was - pleased with ithunting,grounds, its rieh soils,ite,mountains and - valleys, its oceans - and rivers. He'decreed that he. would people it. He labored for seven days , and he made a negro.— Though gratified at this first of human beings, into " whom be had blown the breath of life, he was not satisfied, He worked seven days more, and ced an Indian. - Though more pleased with this - `second:than the first of his creation, he was not altogetherreconci led to the Red Skin. He returned ' for seven days more , to, his labors, and the result was the •Whitchlan.. He„ gazed with admiration upon this lashes the pellection of his works. But the negro and Indian were still alive; and what was to be done to promote harmony and preserve peace. The Spirit thought awhile, and assembled hid three yetis of human beings, at the same time . , plaing before them three huge boxes. On one was marked, Hdes and Ares: on another, Bows and _Arrows; - ana.on the third ; Bonk:. He said to the negro,-as I made you first, in justice, you shall I have Ahe first choice. He selected 'the hoes and axes. The Indian became restless, frantic with apprehensions, and, under his native impulses, was almastin possession of the box of bows and ar • rows before t he Great Spirit said—You now choose. The box of books fell to the white man; not by - accident', but by ',design." With the most emphatic action,. then said the Indian philosopher: "The Great Spirit has decreed that the negro shall fell the forest and till the soil to make subsistence for man. The Indian shall roam the wilderness, and canoe on the rivers, end in hunting and fishing seek, his pastime and support. The white man shall read and gather those stores of knowledge, from which he is to derive the rules for instructing' and governin4' the others. While these relations exist, peace and harmony will prevail; disturb them, and no other results can follow but antithi latiori to the Black and Red race. The negro and Indian will disappear before the march and raps- ' city of the white man." - With prophetic instinct, Nehematbla, and his iihilOsopher, seem to have predicted what the abo litionist is now attempting to verify.
