OssEO, OR TIE SON OF THE EVE.
MING STAR.
AN ALGONQUIN TALE.

There once live m Indian in the north.
who had ten daughters, all of whom grew
I'D to womanhood. They were noted for
their benuty, but especially Oweenee, the
Youngest, who was very independent in
her way of thinking. She was great adj
mrer of romantic places. and paid very
little attention TO the numerous young men
who came to her fathers lodge for the pur
nose Of seeing her. Her eldest sisters
were all solicited in marriage from their
parents, and one after another went off TO
dwell in the lodges Of their husbands, or
mothers in. law, but she would listen to no
proposals Of the kind. At last she married
an old man called Oseeo, who was scarcely
able to walk, and who was too poor to
have things like others. They jeercd and
laughed at her. on III sides, but she seemed
to be quite happy, and said to them. at is
INV choice, and you will see in the end who
has acted wisest." Soon after the sisters
and their husbands and their parents were
all invited to a feast, and as they walked
nong the path they could not help plying
their young and handsome sister, who had
such an unsuitable mate. Osseo often
stopped and gazed upwards, but they could
perceive nothing IN the direction he looked,
unless it was the faint glimmerlng OF the
evening star. They heard him multering
to himself as they went along. and one OF
the elder sisters caught the words, 'Sho
vain ne -Me-shn nosa.'* Poor old man,
said she, he is talking Of his father, what
n pity it is, that he would not fall and break
his neck, that our sister might have a
handsome young husband Presently they
passed large hollow log. lying with one
end towards the path. The moment Ossco,
who was of the turtle totem, came to It, he
stopped short, uttered a loud and peculiar
yell, and then dashng into one end of the
log, he came out at the other a most beau
iiul young man. and springng back to the
road, he led off the party with steps as
light as the reindeer. But on turning
round to look for his wife, behold, she had
been changed into an old, decrepIt woman
who was bent almost double, and walket
with a cane The husband, however
treated her very kindly, as she had done
him during the time of his enchantment
and constantly addressed her by the term o
Meme. moesba, or sweetheart.
