Chimes are very numerous on the Isle OF
Wight. There ia the Whale chine, the
Black gang chine, the Walpen chine, and
numerous others, but none so famous as the
Shauklin chine. Rev. Leigh Richmond in
he Young Cottsger," writes a detailed
description Of Shsuklin Chine, which was
aot then so well prepared for visitors as now
hat it is rented and made part Of the hotel
property that stands at its summit. Shau-
Kiln has bathing machines and fine beach,
hough not 80 good as Ryde, but it lacks
he attractiveness of West Cowes, possibly
because it is more shut in and less vari ed in
it's marine character. The old part of the
town is, however, very charming with its
Elizabethan manor.house, itsrows of thatch.
ed cottages, and narrow, shady lanes. 1t is
at the corner of such lane leading to the
chine that q rustic fountain is erected, for
which Lougfellow wrote the inscription when
on visit to Shauklin in 1868:
o. traveller, stay thy weary feet
Drink OF this fountain pure and sweet,
II flows for rich and poor the same,
Then 90 thy way remembering stlll
The wayside well beneath the hill,
The cup of water in His name.
Those who are familiar with the work OF
Mr.. J. W. Cropsey, the we'll known artist
will remember his picture of the old church
at Bon Church in the Isle. Of Wight. 1t
was all the more remarkable in it, gray
tones and general fidelity to the natural unts
of its age and environment because II
formed so strong q contrast to the warm
tints and sunny landscapes in which his
brush delights. The old Bon Church in the
village Of Bon Church has not been used tor
many years for Sunday services; these take
place in a modern edifce built in l847 OF
thereabouts, but burials still take place from
he old church, and it was from this spot
that the Rev. William Adams, author Of
The Shadow Of the Cross" was taken to
his resting place. The village OF Bon
Church has many interesting literary as
sociations. Carlyle's John sterling" is
buried here. Tennyson and Christopher
North were visitors here; the former very
frequent one, it is said, before he established
himself at Freshwater, whence he is to mi
CRATE to Scotland in search Of that freedom
from intrusive curiosity hunters which he
has all his life-his literary life-been trying
to find, seemingly without success-s fate
