RIFST’S HAIR DYE—0 CKNTS PER boa, To by ladal all Drugs isimy on require it, Old and New France We now turn into # narrow lane, which scoom brought usin front of a substantial peasants dwel- ling house, where a troop of young lade were ba- sied, amid jokes and pesls of laughter, in sweep. ing the threshing-floor—an open space trodden clay—aa clean as brooms could make i, while their savers were decorating it with boughs tnd ribbons. “We are come just in the nick of time,” ob- served the miller as he alighted; “they are pre- paring for the harvest-bome, Thisisa happy hte lor gentlemen like you, who are upon the old customs, and old stories and songs."’ Twas fully aware of the Druidical character af the harvest-horme festival in DB ittany proper, shere the peasant never epeaks but in « devotional tone? of the ‘corn of the [leased God y'* but I bad nos expected to find is thus celebrated on the Fi border. I soon perceived, however, that the thing had a freer, and, if I may say ao, & more w character here than among the pure Celtic race. There was no time to make friends with old Vae de-lon-cmur, who, as patriarch of the femity, bad taken bis seat on the bench at the door, clad in the old provincial costume, and with his white hair streaming over bis shoulders, pracefalty looking on, Before we had time to lock about us we found ours ives in the midet of a festival, in whieh we were at once invited to tic pate, ae though we had heen ol! sequaintan he far met, a noble looking, middle-aged man, « nephew of the elder Chouan, was sow led by two youths in holiday dress to the barn, to fetch in the lam sheaf, which, according to the rhymes still repeate ed on these cccasions, is equal in weight to the whole barvest, and can by no might of mortal man be lifted, unless by cne gified for the occasion with supernsturel power, The farmer crasped she flower-wreathed sheaf, and bore it off in triumph to the threshing floor, and the procession was then formed, First came two young g rie, carrying brooms made of green fir branches, with which the: swept the path | efore the aleal-bearers\hese were fi lowed by children ewinginy garlands woven of freah flowers mingled with ears of corn. After these we were de to fall iny and it was rather from wans of stout arms $ an in corapliauce with our carnes® desire, that we escaped the traditional honor of the guest—the Leing cairied in a sort of litter, beneath scanopy of leafy bouche. We gladly comprome i the matter, by allowing # couple of very prety iris, with bright tin p ates in their hands, to wale sour ede, and p atus with iresh barley and sweet flowers, Belind us came a youth beanng the sieve, and flinging aloft handfuls of corn and cha® oo adroitly as toestch the corn again in the sieves while the chaif was dispersed in the air, The threshere brought up the rear, beating time on the ground with their fluids, And inthis manner, with gong, laugh, and dise charge of amall arma, we walked twice rourd tha. threshing-floor, after which the sheaf was spread in the centre and thresied out amid jest and more rment, with adovrable skill, Refresuments were ¢| peniitulsy served the while; but te barvest-howe feast wan till evening.

Coo- trary to the custom of the northwestern provinces of France, the women are allowed, in honor of ihe barvest-home, to sit at talle with their husbances and the scene was one shke of enjoy men! aad sobriety. ‘ Asto my epecial business with the patriarch of © the house, it seerned at first little | kely to come off, He was silent end suspicious—rather, as I feared, of my companion shan of myself ; indeed, the miller'a exagcerated trieudlivess and cordial- ity was ag Cispleaniug to me as to my host, I seked tho latier wiat his ave was. HH» replied, with an air of honest pric Seventy-one tines has the Lord granted me the favor of comiug on My feot to meet the harvest-sheaf; once I was car- ried in my mosher's arias, [thought that now indeed Thad got the right* eud of the thread ; and I proceeded to allude to the * tusny circumstances of iuteress be musi have wite * nessed—asking him, moreover, how Le bad con- trived to krep the harvest-home diring the time of sho Great War, Ido not rememler |is auawer; but when the miller in # loud voice broke in upon Our conversation, the old man cast a sidelong | glance at both, and said— The Blessed God is * “mughty, and can make time fer al! things.” Shortly sfterwar ig, and iu = very unexpected Madner, | found a way to his confidence—wll the moore rr ly for the absence of the miler, who lef Us to astend to some business in the neighborivd connected with oue of tho seven lawsuits uf which be bad made 4 merit wish me Tt happened that the old Chota, after the faghe fou of b's country—a fashion i which the Mane Cfaux are no whit behind the Normans—was ine Volved in at least one laweuit, that occasioned bim ite full chare of vexation and anxiety.
