Tho MornhIp of Wells.

Early northern Christianity tried
to put down well worship without
much success. Very recently, if not
now, wells in Derbyshire were
dressed" with flowers on a certain
day and rustic merry making fol
lowed All this would have been
'idolatry" in the eyes of King Egg
bert or of st. Cummin, who died in
$50 A. D., and the practice really is
q relic of "Gentilism, as Aubrey
calls it. King Egbert imposed three
years of penance on people who kept
wakes at wells. So did st. Cummin.
But whereas the wake was originally
hallowed to the well itself or to its
presiding naiad in latter times the
wells were sacred to saints, and the
wake or nocturnal festival went on
merrily.
There is a little lochan near the
Naver whittier the country people
still gather, or very lately were used
to gather, and hold a wake on a GER
tain night in summer. The conse-
quent frivolities have been obnox-
ious to the kirk as well as to the
church. The ancient religion proved
an excuse for glass" or lass, or
both, and all forms of festive religion
are difficult to reform out of exist
ence. The mass was easily stamped
out" in Scotland, but the repression
of Robin Hoods games nearly caused
a revolt against the ministers. Thus
well worship fingered on, perhaps
fingers yet, though the pilgrims are
honoring an unknown naiad or a
disestablished saint.-London News.
