Satisfied with this 'ccess, the Foxes hastily retreated to their aces, and under cover of a dense fog s'ient- .addled hcineward.

My death j^ worth something to yon. Let me, therefore, take the place of my child that he may return to his people." Taken totally by surprise, the Foxes silently listened to his proposal, and, having long coveted his death and fearing the consequences of bis despairing cffarts, they accepted his offer, and, releasing the son, they bade him depart and burned the brave father in his stead. The record goes on to relate that the son safely returned to his people, and the tale of hit. murdered kindred and father 'd death spread like wiid- fiie among the wide;cattered bands of the Ojibways. A war party gathered â€"com- prising warrior? evea from the distant Sault Stc. Marie â€" to join in revenging the death of their chief. They marched on their enemies and did not return home until they had destroyed six villages of the Foxes, some of which were comp^Eed of earthen wigwams which now form the mounds spread so profcssly over this section of coun- try. They reaped a rich harvest of scalps and made such aa eflFective strike that the Foxes evacuated the country about the S3. Croix and Cbippeway F.ivers and retired south to the Wisr min.

" An ould foUyet" la generally ia a seat of honor, close by the head of the bed. She has been a nurse, perhaps, in the family, and as she rocics her aged Iwdy backward and forward she pours forth with a milliflu- ous southern brogue, in a sad, walling tone, a long piece of delightfully discursive domestic history. " Ah, wisha, «isha, lave me alone, the masther was the grand man Thade Began was the grand man he milk- ed up to forty cows, [This in plies that he was a dairy farmer, whose stok amounted lo that number. Shnre it's meself remimbers the day aV his weddin' Lard Edward was at home at the time by the same token, an' as be wint by our oabin I heerd me mother to say, ' By gar, there's the lard up I' An' sure enough he was, for he was on his way to Tim Hoolahan's. who wss minding thirty hogs for him. 'Turn tbim out, Tind,' says the lard; 'turn them out,' says he, 'fori want to choose out two of thim,' says he. 'To be sure and why not yotir honor's glory, me lard?' says Tim; and whin he had thIm out the lard makes ohioe av wan widont a taU, an' av anoder widont an ear I An' thin he says to Tim, says he, 'Have thim two bastes kilt,' says he, *and give thim to the people that's oomin' to Thade Began' weddin" says he, 'fw their dinner,' says he. Ah, wisha, decling, but the lard was mighty fond av p' i^ioiue. may God be wid thim both An' don't I well remimber the time that poor Thade, rest hia sowl, bonght the farm near the red bog, en' how I atticded at the dinner that eame day." At this juncture another speaker, think ing he should have an inning, offers the nurf e a drink, and while she is occupied with it he observes; "Wishs, awenoch, it was the poor masther that was fand av his marning drop; many'a the time he'd take me wid htm into Jndy Molan's little pub lie, an' he'd eay, • Judy,' he'd -say, "pive Nicholas something to warm him and take the cowld out av his stnmmick this frasthy morning.'

A driver of a hearse who was presnnt would add re fiections which seemed to him suitable te the occasion " I tell ye,s all that I have been driving a hearse man an' boy these twinty years an' more. I have druv rich an' poor an' whin the wind waiR an mo back the smell av them both was jiet alike, an' I didn't like it, nather.

The old nurse, "a charred and wrinkled piece of woman- hood," being now refreshed, would teke up her parable again, and off!r her snuffbox, or rather her tonff, to every one present. It was done In this way; holdintr the box in her right hand, she poured out some of its con- tents on the palm of her left. Whether you need thn sncff or not, it was considered un- lucky an uncivil to refuse to take a pinch of it.
