"Never go to the Cat and Fiddle! A little wholesome drink drowns care, my friend; and, therefore, although I should be sorry that you indulged too much, yet, with me to look after you " "And drink half my ale, eh? No, no, friend Furness, those days are gone." "Well, you are not in a humour for it now but another time. Mrs Rushbrook, have you a drop of small beer?"
Furness was then invited to hold a writing-tablet in front of the curtain, when the hand, almost concealed by the coat-sleeve and the flaps mentioned as attached to the curtain, wrote with a pencil on the tablet. The writing was rapid, and the hand, when not writing, was kept in constant tremulous motion.
The first abbot, Ranulph, was sent by St. Bernard of Clairvaux himself at the king's special request, and he must have brought with him the plan of the abbey or at least of the church. Nearly all Cistercian churches, which have not been altered, are of two types which resemble each other in being very simple, having no towers and very little ornament of any kind. In the simpler of these forms, the one which prevailed in England, the transept is aisleless, with five or more chapels, usually square, to the east, of which the largest, in the centre, contains the main altar. Such are Fontenay near Monbart and Furness in Lancashire, and even Melrose, though there the church has been rebuilt more or less on the old plan but with a wealth of detail and size of window quite foreign to the original rule. In the other, a more complex type, the transept may have a western aisle, and instead of a plain square chancel there is an apse with surrounding aisle and beyond it a series of four-sided chapels. Pontigny, famous for the shelter it gave to Thomas-
On Dec. 2 last died at the sign of the Burgundy-cross in Furness, a town belonging to the Queen of Hungary, about 15 English miles East of this place, Capt. William Henry Cranstoun, aged forty-six.
Mr Furness added that he really imagined that to be the case now that he saw the bag, which he recognised as having been once brought to him by little Joey with some potatoes, which his parents had made him a present of; that he could swear to the bag, and so could several others as well as himself.
A better Church-of-England man was not in all the dales than Barf Latrigg." "Ay; but you see, Alice, that cross is older than the Church of England. It was given to the first Latrigg of Up-Hill by the first abbot of Furness. Before the days of Wyckliffe and Latimer, every one of them, babe and hoary-head, died with it in their hands.
In a few days the envelopes were returned with the following brief note: 'Dear Furness: Send you what came to your P K the 2d gave no response my terms are $3 for each trial warrant nothing. Respectfully,
And now he was again adrift, with a small bundle, three guineas in his pocket, and the world before him. At first, he had but one idea that of removing to a distance which should elude the vigilance of Furness, and he therefore walked on, and walked fast.
Turning the slate over, he began washing the back of it without showing the face of the slate, and finally laid it down. Mr. Furness here stated that he observed, at the time, that the face of the slate contained writing. Professor Thompson here remarked that the Medium had evidently appreciated the fact that he had been caught. Mr. Sellers: That fact was plainly apparent. Mr.
A moment after the placing of the slate under the table, it was withdrawn to admit of a small pencil being placed upon it, Mr. Furness having remarked the absence of the pencil. The slate was not otherwise withdrawn from under the table above two inches until its final withdrawal, and the question was always, seemingly, on the under side.
