Shortly after my introdocti el to Mr. Vicar he held
a ',erica ,d Confirmation classes, so called by courtesy,
as he hat .oily two and three girls who presented them-
selves as candidates for that rite of the Church. One
of the girls wan the only daughter of a Fanner Jones

regarded as the fitting close and finish to a respectable
education. Miss Jones, however, thought the formalty
of sending in her name was the only preliminary
required, and did not go for instruction ; and Mr.
Vicar one day intimated to her father that unions she
slid so he could not give her a ticket, without which
the bishop woolsi not confirm her.
" Not give my maid a ticket ! " nail the fanner.

Mrs. Jones, on hearing what had pivoted, took the

The result was that Mr. Vicar, unable to resist this
stroke of feminine diplomacy, sent the requires! pass-
port to the privileges of Mother Church the next day,
and Miss Nancy appeared in something closely re-
earthling bridal attire to receive the Imposition of the
bishop's hands at Swinhorne. She had learned the love
of finery, if he knew little else ; but perhaps; that

The pa-tor of these few sheep in the wilderness ulti-
mately obtained a license of non-residence on account
of ill health, and now sleeps the sleep of the just long
miles from the medic church where he had no often
preached to the unheeding hinds.
The Sunday singing at Foreetlande bade fair to be
a point of great difficulty. None of our household
had any voice worth mentioning, and the school-
mistress was often husky, so that sometimes our hymns
were read instead of sung. One evening, however, a
young man, Joe Stevens by name, lingered behind
after service, and asked If he might bring kin accordion
on Sundays ;he cold " play up lots hymn-bum...-
he mid. So Ii x offer was gratefully acceided ; Lubin
arranging that the triplet .1 hymns should always be
firet a long, second a short, and third a e.,ninion
metre. This; seemed to promise fairly, and we started
on the next Sunday in the comfortable assurance that
the singing was provided for w,mehow. Scarcely had
we left the house, when the summer breeze bore to our
ears strains of mimic decidedly non-ecclesiastical,
"Buffalo Gals" WWI played through. "Yankee
Doodle" followed. and '• Rory O'Nf ore" incited a
tapping of hob-nailed boots by way of keeping time, In
the midst of which we entered the room. There was no
emanation till the air was finished, when the musician
tugged at the front lock of his hale. and said aloud,
"I've just been amsemite on 'em, sir, till you did
come."
The hymns went off capitally under his guidance ;
he played the congregation out to the tone of "Wait
for the Wagon," and then, feeling that he had per.
formed the whole duty of man and organist, waited
to be thanked and premed.
"Very much obliged to you for playing the hymns,
Stevens," stammered in). cousin, " but—but —would
you mind not playing anything else another Sunday?'
Joe intimated rather sulkily that it would not be
, worth while bringing his accordian at all, If he could
' wot chew off • little before and after service.
"Then suppose you played over some hymns, just to
practise them," nail Lubin.
" Thik inl be all work and noa replied Joe,
who took himself and his music off in a huff, and
never troubled us with either any more—that is, on

I wan much struck by the marked aloe ,d two
separate races among the scattered and half-wild
population. One had dark hair, and eyes remarkably
deep set and close together, with small hands and feet
anti well-knit frame. They were (mom at driving •
bargain, mostly well to do, and seemed invariably to
Intermarry only with families of their own type. The
other race was fair, blue-eyed, and flaxenbaired, as
one would naturally suppose the inhabitants of Saxon
Wessex should be.
The dialect also pleased me immensely. I never
quite muttered it; but it is a language of itself, and
one in which it Is most interesting to observe the

to be found in Mr. Barnes's Poems in the Dared Dialect,
which have gone through many editions : the last time
I inquired for them they were out of print; but in
the interest of philology I trust that they have ere
now been reprinted.
One sketch more, and I have done. On a heath
some three or tour miles from us was a little house
built of stone, thatched without and oak-lined within ,•
It consisted of six rooms—parlour, study, kitchen, and
three bedrooms—and here lived a clergyman over
whose head had passel some fifty years, with his gentle
old maiden sister, and their one servant, who went by
the name of "Dame. ' There was a flavour of sanctity
and priestleesnem about the very air, and their quaint
hospitality, simple as it was, was of the heartfelt de.
ecription. Mr. Lowther was a great botanist, an
accomplished scholar, and a zealous pastor, and lovel _
