A Neiqninq Cock.

Camden says the Thames was once
called the Cockney, and therefore a
cOckney means simply one who lives
on the banks of the Thames. Wedg-
wood says a cockney, or cockerney, is
one pampered by city indulgence. in
contradistinction to ruStics hardened
by outdoor work. There is, however. a
legend, almost too good to be true
namely, that a Londoner who had
never before slept out of sound of
Bow Bells had occasion to go into the
country and was detained all night.
He was much disturbed by the lowing
of the cattle, the grunting of the pigs
and other sounds of country life, which
he could not understand, and in par
ticular he was frightened by the crow
ing of the cock. In the morning. in
response to the farmers inquiries. he
said the sound of the wild beasts had
kept him awake. just at that mo-
ment the cock crowed again, and the
Londoner said: That's the one! He's
been neighing like that for hoursr,
Since then Londoners have been called
cockneighs or cockneys.
