The village of Ugley, Essex, supplies a satirical couplet:-- "Ugley church, Ugley steeple, Ugley parson, Ugley people." An old triplet describes the characteristics of three church spires thus:-- "Bloxham for length, Adderbury for strength, King-Sutton for beauty." Almost every district furnishes examples of bell rhymes. We give one example, and it is from Derbyshire:-- "Crich two roller-boulders, Winfield ting-tangs, Alfreton kettles, And Pentrich pans, Kirk-Hallam candlesticks, Cossall cow-bells, Denby cracked puncheons, And Horsley merry bells." It is very generally believed in Derbyshire that the town of Alfreton was once the stake at a game of cards--"put," and that the loser exclaimed on the cards being dealt out:-- "If I have not an ace, a deuce, and tray, Farewell, Alfreton, for ever and aye." There is a similar couplet respecting Carnfield Hall, near to Alfreton. It is related by Mr. E. Kirk, a Lancashire folk-lorist, that the owner of a large farm in Goosnargh, called Landscales, staked his land at a game of "put." He received his three cards, which were a tray, a deuce, and an ace, and he put--that is, struck the table with his fist, in proof of his resolution to abide by the issue of his cards. His opponent had two trays and a deuce. The farm was consequently lost, and its owner exclaimed:-- "Ace, deuce, and tray, Landscales, go thy way." A Derbyshire rhyme refers to the inhabitants of four places as follows:-- "Ripley ruffians, Butterly blocks, Swanwick bulldogs, Alfreton shacks." Equally severe is the following on the people of the villages between Norwich and Yarmouth:-- "Halvergate hares, Reedham rats, Southwood swine, and Cantley cats, Acle asses, Moulton mules, Beighton bears, and Freethorpe fools." Of Derbyshire folk it is said:-- "Derbyshire born and Derbyshire bred, Strong in the arm, but weak in the head." The next are two Kentish rhymes:-- "Sutton for mutton Kerby for beef, South Darve for gingerbread, Dartford for a thief." This is complimentary:-- "English lord, German count, and French marquies, A yeoman of Kent is worth all three." It is said of Herefordshire:-- "They who buy a house in Herefordshire Pay three years' purchase for the air." Says a Gloucestershire rhyme:-- "Blest is the eye Betwixt Severn and Wye." In the same shire is the next couplet:-- "Beggarly Birley, strutting Stroud, Hampton poor, and Painswick proud." Many more rhymes similar to the foregoing might be given, if space permitted; but we have only room for a few more examples, and they relate to the weather. An old distich says:-- "When clouds are on the hills, They'll come down by the mills." Another rhyme states:-- "When the mist comes from the hill, Then good weather it doth spill. When the mist comes from the sea, Then good weather it will be." In Worcestershire there is a saying:--
