Wineh encircled them, in candlesticks
that were never used but at high -days,

were scattered about the room two of

eignificant. Candles on the chimney -

On the •hearth, in front of a back -

thorns, that crackled "like the laughter
of the fool."
Nineteen persons were gathered here.
Of these, five women, wearing gowns
of various bright hues, sat in chairs
along the walls; girls shy and. not she,
filled the window -bench; four men, in-
cluding Charley Jake, the hedge-caf-
neuter, Elijah .New, the parish -clerk,
and John Pitcher, a neiehboring dairy-

led in the settle; a young man and maid,
who were blushing ovex tentative pour-
parlers on a life -companionship, sat
beneath the corner cupboard; and an
elderly engaged man of SO or upward
moved restlessly from spots where his
betrothed was not to the spot where she
was. Enjoyment' was pretty general,
and so much the more prevailed in be-

Shepherd Fennel had married well,

from the valley below, who brought sO

there till they should be required for

etrode on through the rein without a
pause, foliewleg the little -worn petit
which, further on he its course, skirted
the shepherd's c ,teige.
It was nearly the thee or fell moon, ;

have been about 40 years of age. He
appeared tall, but a recruiting sergeant,
or other person accustomed to thejudg-
ing ot men's height by the eye, would,
bates discerned that be was not more
than live feet eight or eine.
Iktotwithstandingethe regelarityof his
tread, there ' aseautzonmn it, as in that
of ono who mentally feels his way; and
despite the feet that it was not a black
coat nor a dark garnient of ;my sort
that he wore, there waa something
about bine *which suggested that he
°literally belonged to the blacit-coated
tribes of men. IIis clothewere of
fustian, and his boots hobnailed, yet in
progress he showed not tbe mud -accus-
tomed bearing of hobnailed and fustian
peasantry.
By the time that he had arrived
abreast of the shepherd's premises the
rain came down, or rather came along,
with yetinore determined violence. The
outskirts of the little homestead partial-
ly broke the force of the wind and rain,
and this induced him to stand still.
The most salient of the shepherd's do-
mestic erections was an empty stye at
the forward corner of his hedgeless gar-
den, for in these latitudes the principle
of masking the honalierfeatures of your
establishment by a conventional front-
age was unknown. The traveler's eye
was attraeted to this small building by
the pallid shine of the wet slates that
covered. it. He turned aside, and, find• -
ing it empty., stood under the pent roof
for shelter.
While he stood, the boom of the Ber-
t within, and the lesser strains of
ddler, reached the spot as an ac-
e naniment to the surging hiss of the
Eying ram on the sod, its louder beating
on the cabbageleaves of the garden, on
the eight or ten. bee -hives just discerni-
ble by the path, and its dripping. from
the eaves into a row of buckets and
pans that had been placed under the
walls of the cottage. For at Higher
Orowatairs, as at all sucb elevated domi-
riles, the grand difficulty of housekeep-
ing was an insufficiency of water; and
a caspal rainfall was utilized. by turn-
ing out -as catchers, every utensil. that
the house contained. Some queer stories

such exigencies: a mere naccantance of

for au abundant store.
At last the notes of the serpent ceas-
ed and the house-wae silent. This ces-
sation of activity 'aroused the solitary'
pedestrian from the reverie into which
he had lapsed, and emerging from the
shed, with an apparently, new intentime,
he walked up the path to the house -
door. Arrived here, his first act was to
kneel down on a large stone beside the
row of vessels, and to drink a copious
