A Curious Custom That Was DE
nounced by the Clergy.


The well-wakes. so strongly de-
nounced by the clergy in early times,
fingered in some places in Shropshire
even into the present century-chiehy
in townships where no church or chapel
existed.
The Eas we'll at Baschurch, in a
field beside the river Perry, mile
west of the church, was frequented till
twenty years ago by young people who
went there on Palm-Sundsy to drink
sugar and water and eat cakes. A
clergyman who was present in 1880
speaks Of seeing little boys sCrambling
for the Jumps Of sugar which escaped
from the glasses and hoated down the
brook which flows from the spring into
the river. At that time the gentry Of
the neighborhoOd still visited the little
wake; but they had ceased to dose be-
fore it was discontinued. st. Marga-
rtt's well, about quarter Of mile from
Washington, renowned for its eye
healing virtues, was yearly visited by
Black country folk and others, who
douled, or dipped, their heads in it on
Good Friday. Around Oswestry, bosh
in Shropshire and Montgomeryshire,
are various Trinity wells" at which
folk drank sugar and water at " Trinity
wakes" At the Ilalliwell wakes "
at Rorrington a township in the parish
Of Cbubury), the well was adorned
with bower of green boughs, rushe5,
and flowers, and a Msy-pole was set
up. The people used to walk round
the hill with FIFE, drum, and fiddle,
dancing and frol'ckipg as they went"
and then fell TO feasting at the well-side,
finishing the evening by dancing to the
music OF fddes. They threw pins into
the well-an offering which one old
man, blacksmith at Hope, says was
supposed to bring good luck to those
who made it and to preserve them from
beng bewitch6d and they also drank
some Of the water. But the pure
SpIing water was not the only or the
chef material Of the feast. Soon after
Ctubury wakes st. Michael's) bar
re- Of ale was always brewed on Ror
I'ngtOn green, which on the following
Ascension day was taken to the side of
the Holy well and there tapped. Cakes,
OF course, we're eaten with the ale.
They were round, 9,t buns, from three
70 four inches aero s, sweetened. spiced,
sud marked Wiih cross. Tney were
supposed to bung good lock il kept.
Seyertl famous ma. ers Of them are re-
membered. by whom they we're sod 20
all corners, together with nuts anu 80
forth. The wake is said TO have been
discontinued about 1882 or 1884, a.
The death e ono Thomas Cleeton, who
used to "brew the drink" Almost
exactly the same customs prevailed a.
The LADY well at Old Churchstro&e, a
township in the az oiniug parish OF
Ciurchstroke, in Montgomeryshiie;
where the wake obtained the queer
name Of '' Codger'S wakes from the
surname (nicknsme = Of one Codger,
Of Old ChurchetrOke, who used to
" brew the drink" Here also the well
was "drossed'' with flowers and
ruthes on Holy Thursday, and the peo-
pie dropped pms into it, and sat round
eating cakes and drinking sugar and
water from cups passed round the
circle

more satisfied and afiectionate. Under
the uniform that had heen so dear to

with his cheek sgainst the grating, at

that separated us, msgaif ent to be-

His enormous tongue licked the hand
that I had abandoned to his careCseS,
while with his paws he gently tried to
draw me to him. If any one tried to
come near he fell into frepzies Of rage,
snd when the visitors fell back to q
distance became calm and caressing as
before, handling me with his huge
paws, rubbing against the bars and
licking my hand, while every gesture
ard moan and look told Of his JOY and
bis love. When turned to leave him
