The Wife, if gifted in all household ways Where Home has fair its sacred altar reared, Is worthy of all praise A ye ! precious, far beyond all treasure, is The heart that makes the hearthstone love-endeared With gentle ministries. Yet how much more is honor due IF AUGHT BE DUE TO LOVE to Thee her, who like thee, In realms of Mind hath sought A wider province for her wifely part; Wife and Friend in one! whose ministry Is to l)0th mind and heart. Therefore the Poet brings this tribute meet; Trusting that Hope will true her promise keep: Who in the noon-day heat Together stand to sow Life's fallow lea With Thought and Deed, that they together reap The Harvest yet TO BE.
INTEODUCTIO^T. IT is to the Mythologies of the primitive races that we are to look for the expression of the earliest poetic, religious and philosophic thought of Mankind. While the Folk-lore of the Old World has long been made the subject of research and poetic elaboration, the Mythology of the North American Indians has received comparatively W little attention. r hat the Eddas were to Scandinavian Europe; what the Greek Mythology was to the Hellenic mind what ; the story of Buddha, with all its clustering fables, is to Hindoo and Mongolian; what the teachings of Christ are to the Christian world, the revel-ation, in some sort, of a divine love and wisdom, ai'ound which gather the deepest affections, the purest hopes and aspirations of the human soul; such, undoubtedly, were to the Red Men the body of their myths and legends, of which but a meager store has been left to us. There is in these fragmentary traditions abundant evidence that they are the architecture of a religion, a part of the world's sacred literature the Scriptures of the Ages; scattered rays of Divine Truth come down from above, clothed in such imagery as the then development of the Race made possible of apprehension.
