Conjugation of tlie Intransitive
Verb Ya.
INDICATIVE MOOD PRESENT TENSE.
SINGULAR.—Ya, he or she goes. Mda,
I go. -Da, thou goest. ',
PLURAL.—Yapi, they go. Unyanpi, we
go. Dapi, ye go.
SINGULAR.—Hda, he goes home. .Wa
hda, I go home. Yahda^thou, &c.
PLURAL.—Iidapi, they go home. Un
hdapi, we, &c. Yahdapi, ye, &c.
The future tense is formed by kta or
kte after the verb and changing the final
a of the singular to e.
The common form of this and other
verbs beginning in y seems destitute of
pronouns, but the verb srtictly speaking,
perhaps like eo the latin verb of similar
signification consists of a or e. The y
may be the pronoun of the third person
like the French it. It may be the pro
noun of the second person,
like the French
tu or English thou, the vowel being drop
ped as is usual when two vowels eometo
gether and md in like manner may be for
ma, (which is equivalent to the English,
me) as this is generally used instead ofHva
before intransitive verbs.
The Indian Maidens Death
Sony.
The young lover of a youthful Dakota
maid went out with a war party against
their enemies the Chippewas. He was
killed and the news soon reached the vil
lage. Hapan, for that was the girl's name,
for several days brooded over the melan
choly event in sullen, gloomy, silent ago
ny. Not many days passed away before,
early one morning the slumbering village
was startled as she chanted her death
song from the top of a neighboring tree
where she had climbed and was sitting
decorated as for her bridaj^day. The fol
lowing were the words which she sung *.
My friend has gone
His road is the milky-way
The same road I will travel.
As she ended her. song she cast herself
down and died with the full expectation
that she should join her lover in the spir
it land.
'TP
Mourning Song.
The following is a mourning song of
Black-Boy when his little grand-son died',
which event occurred at the Mission
House at Oak.Grove. The unearthlinesi*
of the scene cannot be described, as in
the twilight of the morning, while the
mother of the deceased boy, whose name
is Red-Earth, was wailing in a manner
which would excite the sympathies of the
hardest heart, Black-Boy standing on the
brow of the bluff, addressed Jiimself to the
ghostly inhabitants of the spirit-world in
ghostly notes as follows:
Friends, pause and look this way.
Friends, pause and look this way.
Friends, pause and look this way.
The grand-son of Black-Bojys coming.
