I reproach thee, Hilda, that thou hast marred all my life, that thou hast duped me with dreams, and left me alone in despair." "Speak on," said Hilda, calmly, as a nurse to a froward child. But for that, which my infancy took from thy lips as a law, I had never been so vain and so frantic!
Having many years felt love in my heart towards the natives of this land, who dwell far back in the wilderness, whose ancestors were the owners of the land where we dwell, and being at Philadelphia in 1761, I fell in company with some of those natives who live on the east branch of the river Susquehannah, at an Indian town called Wehaloosing, 200 miles from Philadelphia; and in conversation with them by an interpreter, as also by observations on their character and conduct, I believed some of them were acquainted with that divine power which subjects the rough and froward will of the creature.
