' 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
