Krtrart from) "A Poet in HI t outb. and lilrd." the Cwefcoa. ' BT JKAlf ISGELOW. (In press by Uoberts Vros., of Jloston) Once npon a time, I lay Fast anleep at dawn of day; Windows open to the south, Fancy pouting Ler sweet month To my ear. She turned a globe In her slender hand, her robe . Was all spangled; and she said, Ah she sat at my bed's head, 'Toet, poet, what ! asleep f ,ook I the ray runs np th steep To your roof." Then In the golden Kssence of romances olden, Bathed she my entranced heart. And she gave a' hand to me, lrew me onward; "Come 1" said she; And she moved with me apart, Down the lovely vale of Leisure. Such its name was, I heard say, For some Fairies trooped that way; Common people of the place, Taking their accustomed pleasure (All the clocks being stopped!, to race Down the slope on palfreys fleet. Bridle bells made tinkling sweet, And they said, "What signified Faring homo till eventide : There were pies on every shelf, And the bread would bake itself." But for that I cared not, fed, As it were, with augols' bread, Sweet as honey; yet next day All foredoomed to melt away; Gone before the sun waved hot, Melted manna that was not. Hook-doves' poetry of plaint, Or the starling's courtship quaint; Heart made much of, 'twas a boon Won from silence, and too soon Wasted in the ample air; Building rooks far distant were. Scarce at all would speak the rills, And I saw the idle hills, In their amber hazes deep, Fold themselves and go to sleep, Though it was not yet high noon. Silence f Rather music brought From the spheres I As if a thought Having taken wings, did fly Through the reaches of the sky. Silence t No, a sumptuous sigh That had found embodiment, That had come across the deep After months of wintry sleep, And with tender heavings went Floating np the firmament. "Oh," I mourned, half slumbering yet, "'Tis the voice of my regret, Mine " and I awoke. CATCHEM'S CORNER, SODOM, AND HELL LANE. From Notes and Queries. The writer first mentions the origin of the names of many places in that locality, such as Wednesfield and Wednesbury, from Woden; Swinford, from Sweyn; Cannock from Canute; Gospel Oak and Gospel End; Hungary Hill, near Stourbridge, from the Hungarian refu gees who pitched their tents there, and intro duced the pottery-ware trade; Bull Stake and High Bullen, from the bull-baiting; Gibbet lane, and other places, such as Throttle-goose lane and Bug Hole, the origin of whose names is lost in obscurity. He then comes to speak of Catchem's Corner, bouom, and Hell Lane The last named spot is near to the Bilston turnpike road, towards Sedgeley Beacon, and near to littingshall New Village: "Had we pursued our way a little further, we should have reached Sodom and Catohem's Corner, at the extremity of Hell Lane, and then have entered Gospel End. It is an old saying in that neighborhood, 'Hell begins where gospel ends.' " The writer calls on an old cottager, and asks for an explanation of the names of these places. The old man replies as follows: "Well, as for Hell Lane an' Sodom, it was the villainy o' the people thereabouts as caused such like names to be given 'em; but Catchem's Corner, there is a bit of a Btory about which, whether true or fause I canna tell ye, tor I was aw a' at the time. It man l aboon fifty years sin' now, an' there were few housen thereabout, though, bein' four cross roads, there were pretty well o people passing by the corner. One dark winter's night, as a gentleman was walking by, a man with a mask on sprung out o' the next leasow, Jumped over the hedge, and robbed the gen tleman o' everything worth carrying off. Oa the next night another was served in the same way, and on the next night another; so there Leg an to be no little stir. After a while, a lot o' men determined to drop on the thief; and so one night, just after sunset, they hid them selves up the trees, an' under the hedges; an' at the right time one got np an' walked along the road; an' presently the man with the mask sprang at him and collared him; but no sooner had he done it than all the men who lay hid rushed at him, an' caught him; and when they tore off his mask they found it was old Catchem, a daring thief who lived down at Bodom, whom they sent down to jail; an' ever after, the place was called Catchem's Corner." "And what sort of place was Hell Lane at that time ?" 1 asked. "Well, sir," he resumed, "it was a queerish place, I do assure you. Nobody durst venture down it after nightfall, and even in broad day " light it was hardly safe. There were certain public-houses where the gangs of highwaymen used to meet. There was the old Duke o' York, an' the Barley Mow, as stood near by each other; two fearsome places were these for all sorts o' plots an' misoliief. Then there was old Trilly ltiloy'a plaoe, the 'Bull's Head,' where they used to get np bull-batin' an' such like sports; an' Billy Moore's, by the brook. But the worst place o the lot was called 'Hell House,' kept by old Evans, a butty collier. This was the great flghtin' plaoe for the colliers, an' there used to be a pitched battle every night. EvanB' daughter, a big, Hirnmtinir wencb. used to be seconds to one o' the men, an' when the fight was on she would jump on the screen an' shout, 'Wind him, Jack, lad,' 'Tap his wine bottle' (make his nose bleed), or 'Gie i.t . rA ahlrt. mv bonny boy.' There was also Sammon Harry, who followed the devil down a coalpit. This Sammon Harry was a colliery-engineer, an' one day he had been to Woverhampton on the spree you know, sir! Well, as he came back at night, when it was tiuite dark, a man mei mux m mo took him to the pit, and began to Bwarm down the chain, tellin Sammon Harry to follow. He followed, and as the chain did not reach to the botton of the shaft the man dropped the remaining distance, telling Sammon to do the same 'I can't," said Sammon Harry, 'it's too far.' 'Drop, I tell you,' shouted the man at the bottom, 'I'll take care of you." ' But Harry wouldna drop, knowing he would be killed If he did so, an' he began to shout and iawl for help till Bomelodjr came and wound Ljm Bp again." THE DAILY EVENING TELEGKAril PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, "And who was the other man?" I .-ked. "Why, the devil, to be sure, who elHef" replied our aged friend; "he thought o Tonkin' Pure o' Harry, but he failed that time, altho' I fear me lie's got liim sale enow by this." : "Then there was Nelly Nicholas, may be you'n heered of her ?" ... "No," I answered; "who. and what was she r" , .4 , "0 1" was the answer; "she was a witch, an' lived not far away from the brook. She was a little, wiry-looking woman, with ferret eyes, and long bony lingers. Everybody bore fear of her, lor she had marvellous powers wi' npiriU, an' si;h, and could tell what was to happen, as well as what happeued in the lane, no matter how dark things were kept. An' she used to turn herself into a white rabbit, and go about the lane after dark. pryin' into men's houses, so much so that it used to be a regular thing, when I was a lad, to aak, 'Have you seen the white rabbit to night V " "But surely, you're only iokinz now t" I remarked. "Net at all, sir," replied he. "And do you really believe she assumed such shapes f" Ay, ay," replied the oldest inhabitant, an' wiser heads than mine believe it like wise." (The "white rabbit" is commonly talked about by the old people in the "vil lage" to this day.) "lhen we had a wizard as well as a witch." continued our informant; "an' him I remem ber well. His name was Kit Rhodes. He went about with his hair hanging down in a sorto' pigtail, an' was dressed in very queer colored clothes. He was a fearsome fellow. an' if anything offended him he wonld swear a great oath, an' forthwith some misfortune would fall upon them; either they would be hurt in the pit, or some of their ill deeds would come to daylight, an' they get punished, so Kit Rhodes was always feared and respected by every thief in the lane. There was Devil Lees, too, and his imps, a great big rodney fellow, as hard as a groundsell toad. He was a fearsome chap, was Lees, and his imps in their younger days weren't much better." "W hat were Ins imps f" I inquired. "Oh," replied the old man, laughing at my ignorance, "his sons, to be sure; an' they were a queer lot a'together. I remember once they Lad a meetin' down at Tommy Bill's to get np a spree. There was Lees and two of Lis imps, and Billy Moore, and Old Huss, with two or three others, whose names I forget for the moment. Well, these started off all jolly drunk to Wolverhampton, an' Devil Lees pointed to a watchman, an' said, 'Come on, lads, let's finish him for a bit of a lark,' so they all set on him, an' in a very few minutes they laid him dead on the pavement weltering in blood. They were found out, but nobody proving which of 'em struck the deathblow, they got off with a short imprisonment." "Dick Ormes was another strange chap in Hell Lane," continued the "oldest inhabitant," who was by this time getting excited by his narrations. "Dick had only one leg, an' he lived in a cot, with his dog, pig, an' cow, an' led a happy life. One night Dick found out a mystery. He was walking about late, an' he saw a strange-looking being walking about, an' as he got close to it he found it was a woman without a head 1 He looked at it in horror, but in a moment it passed away. Dick rouEed the people, an' they used to watch, an' in a few nights they saw this headless woman again, an' they found out from Nelly Nichols that it was the ghost of a woman who had murdered by the Hell Lane been robbed and gang." were the robberies so serious as that t ' 1 asked. "Ay, ay, sir," replied the patriarch, "yon little brook has been reddened with men's blood many 's the time. The robbers used to an' when travellers lie by the brookside, passed along the road from their hiding-place, they used to spring after the manner of Old Catchem, an' fell them at a blow. When they had robbed them, they tossed them over the little bridge into the brook, leevin' them to crawl away as best they could. But yet we had a preacher, though he was a strange one, sure enow. They called him Jack the Barber, he being' a hair-cutter all the week, an' a preacher o' Sundays. While he was hair-cuttin' or shavin' he had all his thoughts on his sermons, an' such like, and he always spoke 'a word in season' to his cus tomers. One day a stranger called to be shaved, so Jack lathered his face, held back his head, an , just as he was beginning to scrape him wi' the razor ye said to the man, 'My good brother, are you prepared to die if' The man looked hard at Jack, then at the razor, an' bein' half terrified, he rushed, all lathered as he was, out of the shop, and ran up the lane. shoutin' at the ton of his voice, 'Murder 1 murder 1' Jack followed at his heels, but could not catch him, an' never saw his new customer again. Once as I heard Jack prcachin' in the lane, he told us as how God made the white men, and Satan the black, an' when Satan's work was finished, an' he saw it was so much worse than t'other, he straw savage an' struck the black Adam with his fist, flattening his nose an' thickening his lips, an' bo the poor nigger has remained ever sin'. An' once, when the puddlers were gettin' low wages, he preached agin' the iron-maisters, takin' up his text like the verse, He shall rule them with a rod o' iron.' One day Jack told the folk he had faith enow to walk on the water, and he went down to the Hell Lane Canal, which had just bin cut, an' stepped in under the bridge, an' bein' no swimmer, an' the water deep, poor Jack got drowned. "There used to be a notion among the col liers of those times that it was ill luok to work on New Year's Day; but when the Shropshire colliers began to settle in the lane, about fifty years sin', they laughed at the Hell Lane folk for havin' such a notion, an' for two New Year's Days they would work. On the first a Shropshire girl fell down the shaft, an' was knocked all to bits; an' on the second there was a fire i' the pit, and all but two or three got burnt. So the Shropshire folk believed it after, an' never worked again on New Year's Day. An' now, good friends, my tale is ended." The Hell Lane folk became an altered people through the agency of Methodimn. A cele brated Iriuh missionary, Oideon Ousley, esta blished 4 mission station at Hell Lane, and soon afterwards a Methodist chapel was erected. It has now disappeared, but the reforming inilueuoes of which it was the out ward sign are all visible in the improved state of the locality and its inhabitants. i CuTHBKBT BkDE. p R E N C H STEAM t SCOURING.
