F ltIDAY. J'EBRU.A.RY, 27, 1885. . SHlJ'l' i N &. tJH.A.RNEl1-ll01JSE. I was wandtirlng though one of uur little village churchyi..rds in Sommerset shire, wh('n , seeing the sexton coming up t he path, I went over t o him, and began to t a.lk. H e W RB a pl<'aRaut. garrulous old man, an d many a tale did he t ell me about t he graves and their occupants ; but none so n oticeable r.11 the one I am going to r elate. ·w e were sitting on one of t he tom b · ston ea, when he s111id : "D'ye eee yon little mound 1 \Vell, theie's a aad, weir ish story to tell <t.bout it ; and, if you like to hear it, t here's none Mn tell it bettor than I." Finding me as willing t.o hEJar the tale as he was to teil it, he began as follows: " 'Tia a long t.ime ago, and my memory ain't as good as it used t u be, buc I'll try to t ell all I can, just as it happened. I was but a young man th.en, aud what I'm going to tell hap~ned ju~t before I became sexton here, where I have been ever since. '.Ihe 11exton who was here before me was a crose, unplea~ant fellow ; not roa.lly bad at heart-at least I never thought so but very sour and churllsh in h is manners. No one seemed to like him, and he seemed to like nobody . . And as it turned out, p eople's dislike of h im was uot so ill-founded aftGr all, though I don't think he was ao wrong as it seemed. But I won't d.tmy t hat vrhr·t h e did was a cruel, h eart le£3 t hing, and the chief victim of it was the. poor lit tle child in yonder grl'lve. "She lived alone ·with her grandfat.her in a pretty little oottage Mar the end of the village. Folka said the old man was of gentle birth, and ought t o have had more money than he did, but he alway(! seemed har~Y and contented. Both the ehild'a parente were dead, poor thing I but she was too young to mourn for them. They had died when she was a babe, _and she ha.d lived ever since with the old man. She grew up:a sweet, wineome little body. You might have almost ha.ve naid that the old man adored her ; but n o I he loved his Bible too wE.'11 for that. Yet, if he ever loved any mortal thing, he lovecl that child, as, indeed, did every one in the village. Many a time weuld I carry the little thing about in my arms and play with her and pick flowers for her or t oas her in the hay in the hay-fields. We all liked the old man, too ; and eome one or other would often look in to see if he was comfortable, or put the house in order. .But there was not much to seb to right-a in his little cottage ; just two room2, and very poorly furnished they were. " t\ t the t ime I am goii:ig t o speak of the child w as about 8 years old. "lb was a fine summer's do.y, and sha had gone out alone 1n the afternoon, while the old man took his ' forty \Vinks.' She was alone, but in a q ulet little village one never gets anxious about one's children. This time, however, t he day wore on, and llhe did not return.
