"BLESSINGS"

Why be discouraged, friend of mine ?
You have every right to happiness, "Tls true, some have been given
more But many have been given less. The treasures lying at your feet Their value you so little guess, A n o t h e r BSfBBB l"nl»)ncr r%r\
Would barter heaven to possess.
Do you find peace at eventide, Is there a heart that loves you
best, Is there a place you can caii h&me Where spent and worn your soul
may rest? A favorite chair, a book, a song, A child who loves your fond ca
ress? These are a few of Heaven's gifts Sent to you dear friend, your life
to bless.

the door of the tepee and shot an arrow at him, but the ishaft went wide and killed Maya's father. Next the chief was captured but knowing the failure of his attack Jollper resolved to put Omoyao to death. He was tied to a tree, the fagots prepared, and set on fire. Joliper then ran to get to the council of the Mahopacs, iHitt Maya, meanwhile, rescued the chief and reached the village of the Amerind before. Jollper and his renegades, and when they drew near the gathered Mahopacs slew Jollper. But the Indtaans were overpowered and took safety In flight. Omoyao and Maya became separated from the rest and were surrounded by the English, Rather than be captured and tortured they threw themselves over the cli'f and thus met their death together. On the morning afterward the whites took possesion of the place.
At the nortfc end of the lake is an old graveyard' ,its tombstones covered with-moss and lichen, surrounded by a very high hedge as if to protect it from curiosity seekers. The place is known as the Huguenot Farm and there are many graves there, the oldest stone that of Michael Shoat who died August 4, ,815. Another monument bears the name of Benjaum
age 92 years. There is no positive proof that the Indians buried their dead here, but tradition says that they did. Once, when a grave was dug, a skeleton was found in an upright position, as the Amerind buried their dead. There was a bow and arrow in the grave so Uiio Mahopac wmuld be prepared when he came to the happy hunting grounds.
It was on Carous Island where the big Indian village was situated His-
jtory has not left us any records'of the events of those days. Only the shadow of a name remains, and a few scattered relics.
This particular tribe of Indiaans were known as Wappingers, and they were an offshoot of the AJgonquins. The term, "Wappinger is suposed to be derived from Wahum, "east," and Aoki, "land", that Is, east landers. The name was also rendered Wapin-ous, and included all the Redmen who dwelt as far north as Beekman's Point, and popularly they were known as the River Indians.
