~ In the neighborhood of Quimber,
Brittany, very singular custom prevails. A
widower wears his hat in such way as to
bring the corner right over the forehead,
probably for the purpose OF showing that hi,
lite has been overshadowed. The married
man wears il so that the corner is over his
back, perhaps as signiiying that he Can only
look back for happiness, which with him is
memory. The "j"lIy bachelor" causes the
corner To come janniiy over the right or LETT
ear, which may mean that he is open tor pro-
posals. When widower or bachelor there
makes IN offer OF himself, h" must say to the
lady, stake my hat" 1t may be that there is
some satire in the thing, which foreigners
cannot easily understand

"oh don't you remember the boys, Ben Bolt,
The boys with noses so red,
Who drank with delight whenever they met,
And always went drunk TO bedY
In the old grave yard, Ia the edge Of town,
In corners obscure and lone,
They've gone to rest, and the gay young sprigs
Have dropped of one by one.
"Oh don't you remember the jug, Ben Bolt,
And the spring at tue foot Of the hill,
Where OF we've lain in the summer hours,
And drank TO our utmost fill
The spring is filled with mud, Ben Bolt,
And the wild hogs root around,
And the good old jug, and its whiskey sweet,
Lies broken and spilled on the ground.

And the little nook at the end of the bar,
