For this exploit the youthful prince received his title of Yamato-Daké, or "Yamato the Warlike." Thirteen years later a revolt broke out among the wild tribes of Eastern Japan, and the young hero marched with an army to subdue them. His route led him past the shrine of the Sun goddess, in Isé, and here the priestess presented him with the sacred sword, one of the holy emblems of the realm.
They knew nothing of celibacy; but married, reared families and kept their scalps free from the razor, though some of the lower order of shrine-keepers dressed their hair in ordinary style, that is, with shaven poll and topknot. At some of the more important shrines, like those at Isé, there were virgin priestesses who acted as custodians both of the shrines and of the relics.
One of the soldiers seed me and he hollers 'look at that rat run'." Missus Ann, and all the white folks went down to Fairhaven wharf to see dat big shep". "I stayed on de plantation awhile after de war and heped de Missus in de house. Den I went away". "Ise had eight chillun. Den his brother died too. I said he ought ter died instid o his brother."

Thenceforth, coins of copper or more correctly, bronze were regularly minted and gradually took the place of rice or cotton cloth as units of value. It would seem that, from the close of the seventh century, a wave of mining industry swept over Japan. Silver was procured from the provinces of Iyo and Kii; copper from Inaba and Suo, and tin from Ise, Tamba, and Iyo.
An old colored servant, who had been in the family ever since my remembrance she went by the name of "Aunty" was standing by the gate as I alighted from my chaise. "'Deed, massa, Ise glad you come," said she in a troubled way. "Why so, Aunty? No body very sick, I hope." "'Deed, an dar is den; else old Aunty don't know nothin'." "Who?"
"Heah, massa cap'n!" answered Solon close it hand. "Ise brung it jus' in time." "What can you do with a rope, Raymond?" asked Donald. "Make an effort to save her with the help of that lightning-rod." "You risk your own life, and it is worth far more than hers," Donald said entreatingly. "Stay a moment, captain," said Mr. Dinsmore, "they are bringing a ladder."
Ephum put down the duster, peered out of the door of the private office, and closed it softly. "Marse Comyn?" "Yes?" "Marse Comyn, I ain't got no use fo' dat Misteh Hoppa', Ise kinder sup'stitious 'bout him, Marsa." The Colonel put down his newspaper. "Has he treated you badly, Ephum?" he asked quietly. The faithful negro saw another question in his master's face.
Miss Phillips opened two or three, selected one, and read slowly, apparently encountering difficulty in the spelling: "Dear Santa Klaus: "Pleas send me a dol that opens hur ise with love Mary Connelly." After that she read half a dozen or so, each one as laboriously composed as the first, asking St. Nicholas to bring them the things nearest their hearts.
De dues is one dollar down on 'nitiation an' twenty cents a week an' " "Wait jes' one minute, Sist' Menifee, ef you please. 'Fore we gits any furder 'long answer me dis one question Ise fixin' to ast you do dis yere new lodge perpose to fune'lize de daid?"

Contrary to the custom at the other great Shinto temples of Japan, such as Ise, the office of miko at Kitzuki has always been hereditary. Formerly there were in Kitzuki more than thirty families whose daughters served the Oho-yashiro as miko: to-day there are but two, and the number of virgin priestesses does not exceed six the one whose portrait I obtained being the chief.
