THE EVIL EYE IN YORKSHIRE.

Going one day into house in the vii
lage of Catterick, in Yorkshire, / observed
hung up behind the door ponderous neck
lace of "lucky-stones," .. e., stones with a
hole through them. Onhinting an inquiry
as to their use, l found the good lady of
the house disposed to shuttle of any ex-
PLANTATION; but by little importuning l
discovered that they had the credit OF being
able to preserve the house and its inhabl-
tants from the baleful influence of the "evil
eye"
"Why, Nanny" said /, "you surely do
not believe in witches now-a-days@ ~
"No, don't say at do; but certainly
i former times there was Wizards an buz-
yards, an them sort o things"
"Well," said /, laughing, " but you sure
ly don't think there are any now r
No, don't say at there are; but L do
believe in yevat eye"
After little time extracted from poor
Nanny more particulars on the subject, as
viz:-how that there was woman in the
village whom she strongly suspected OF
being able to look with an evil eye; how,
further, neighbor's daughter, against
whom the old lady in question had a grudge,
owing to some love affair, had suddenly
fallen into sort of pining sickness, of
which the doctors could make nothing at
all; and how the poor thing fell away
without any accountable cause, and finally
died, but nobody knew why; but how it
was her (Nannys) strong belief that she
had pined away in consequence of a glance
from the evil eye Finally got from her
an account of how any one who chose
could themselves obtain the power of the
evil eye, and the recipe was, as nearly as l
can recollect, as follows:
aye gang out ov' night-ivery night
while ye find nine toads-an' when we've
gitten t nine toads, ye hang 'em up ov a
string, an ye make a hole an buries 7
toads i t. hole; an as t. toads pines away,
SO t person pines away 'at ye've looked
upon wiv yevil eye, an they pine an pine
away while they die, without any disease
at all r s
do not know if this is the orthodox
creed respecting the mode of gaining the
power of the evil eye, but it is at all events
a..genuine piece of folk lore.
The above will corroborate an old story
rife in Yorkshire of an ignorant person who,
being asked if he ever said his prayers, re-
peated as follows:
"From witches and wizards, and long tailed buz-
yards,
And creeping things that run in hedge-bottoms
Good Lord deliver u.s."
