Harper's Round Table, March 23, 1897

"Oh, your song is most annoying,
And unless you take it back,"

"Of your powder and your shot, sir,
I am not the least afraid:
So long as pills and potions
You don't summon to your aid."

[2] The Feast of the Green Corn among the powerful Iroquois Confederacy, or Six Nations, occurred in the latter part of August or early September. Its rites so resembled the Hebrew Feast of the Tabernacles that it furnished an additional argument for the notion that the American Indians were remotely descended from the ten lost tribes of Israel.
