It was a Avide open sward, flanked irre- gularly by tbe cburcliyard, and by the straggHng cottages of those who, after their calm and innocent lives had attained an answering close, slept there Avith ancestors whose clironicles were only a rude record on a grave- stone, or the babbhng tongue of some old grandmother by her winter fire. A great deal of wormwood grew on the green, and its rich scent seemed to meet the travellers hke the welcome of a friend. Towards tliis village they now pressed w...ith renewed vigour, and Mervyn's horse was dashing through the stream in gallant style, when a sudden flash of hght- niug showed the animal its own shadow in the waters, and, with a snort of terror and a ^vild bristhng of the mane, it rolled back on its haunches, and made a furious attempt to back out of the stream.
