THE HAUNTED MARSH.
CHAPTER I.
THE AUTHOR TO TilE READER.
" A la sueur de ton visaige, Tu gaigneras ta pauvre vie, Apres long travail et usaige, Voicy la mort qui te convie. " This old French quatrain^ inscribed beneath a composition by Holbein, is deeply touching in its mournful simplicity. The engraving represents a* labourer ploughing. A vast extent of open country stretches far away into the distance, dotted here and there with a few poor and miserable cabins, while the sun is sinking to res...t behind a neighbouring hill. It is towards the close of a hard day's work. The peasant is an aged and decrej)it man, covered with rags. The harness of the fowr horses which he is driving is rotten and scanty ; the plough- share delves into a harsh and rebellious soil. One object alone is lively and active amidst this scene of sueur et usaige. This is a fantastic personage, a skeleton armed with a whip, who runs along in the furrow beside the terrified horses, strik- ing them at times with his»lash, and thus serving as assistant to the old labourer.
