young lady of his heart had Turned tickle and
was allowing another the honor of her company
to village merry makings.
In his despair he and friend named Colby.
who was afterward killed I'm tho war of the re-
be!lion, bored a thrce-quarter-inch hole into O
white birch tree then about five inches through,
pat the hair in and drove home after it pine
plug. The next summer he went back to Nova
Scotia and married the fair Deborah, in triumph
over his rival, and brought her to the states
where ho afterward died. He never thought it
necessary to reclaim the hair, and there il re-
large and strong, and covering over with its
white wood and paper bark the precious token
hid in its bosom. This last winter Mr. Edwin
smith, who now owns the old Marshall farm,
cut the tree for fire wood. In splitting the
wood the Ak happened to lay the tree open ex-
actly on a pine plug with lock Of beautiful
hair behind it. The outside end of the plug
was covered by three inches Of solid wood,
which consisted Of thirty seven annual rings
