Mother Shipton a Humbug.
English Notes,

A curious superstition has come to
light in Mid Somerset. The lsboring
classes in that locality, like those of most
other rural districts in England, held
sacred certain supposed prophecies OF
Mother Shipton," whose Typographical
knowledge must have been little less
marvellous than her insight into the fu-
ture. Of these prophecies the most
widely believed in had reference to the
rate OF Ham Hill, large stone quarry
in the neighborhood OF Yeovil, and a
prolpinent feature of the landscape for
miles around. 1t was to the effect that
at twelve O'Clock on Good Friday of
1879 Ham Hill should suddenly be
swallowed up by an earthquake, and
that at the same time Yeovil should be
visited by tremendous flood. With
such anxiety was Friday looked forward
to, in consequence, that people actually
left the locality with their families, and
went TO stay with their friends in other
parts OF the county until the dreaded
visitation" should be over; others,
whose faith was less robust, nevertheless
thought it advisable to remove their
ppts auu Hdus liOiu VI SuCn
cupbosrds and to stow away their clocks
and looking glasses in places where they

OF people, many of them from dis
tsnce, focked to the spot, or as near to
the spot as they dared venture, to await,
hall incredulous and halt In terror, the
streke of twelve and the iulfillment Of
the prophecy. When, however, the
appointed hour had passed, and Ham

" win Mrs. Aston come at once to

ofiiciated AZ her marriage service, from
one of the great cities Of the land. "a
friend lying dangerously i'll here would
be grateful ior her presence"
With trembling hands she made ready
for her journey, dread and fear half
crushing the hope that had sprung up
within her; hope that the unknown
friend was that lost one for whom her
heart WAS breaking, fear that she might
be mistaken, dread of being too late.
The morning train bore her away, and

pity and gentleness, he un 'olded the

She bent over the pillow of the sick
man, over the face of the only man she
had loved, and his feeble arms, reaching
upward, clasped her trembling to his
bosom. He WAS true, true TO her to the
last, and throb OF almost overwhelming
joy thrilled through the clinging shroud
OF despair numbing her heart at the
thought. She took her place by the
bedside to wait the coming of that other
visitant, whose cold hands were even
now stretched toward her idol. The
long night vigil WAS scarcely broken by
words. The sick man could not talk.
There was only murmured prayer Of
forgiveness, which was answered by the
tenderest, truest assurances of love |;
there were no reprosche es, no unavailing
utterances of repentance, and the wife's
tears OF anguish fell in silence.
