FOLK LORE. 
Wiltshire Superstitions. — When I first came to 
reside in this place (a village in Wilts), an elderly 
farmer was living here, whose very retentive me- 
mory was a perfect storehouse of local traditions, 
old customs, &c. Asa matter of course, he was a 
great authority on all questions of boundaries, rights 
of ways, &c.; and in conversation with me on the 
latter subject, he one day expressed his surprise that 
any person should have the audacity to plough up 
or stop a pathway leading to the church. On my 
inquiring what were the peculiar penalties attached 
to such an offence : “* Oh! don’t you know# he re- 
plied, “ that if a man breaks up a church-path, his 
spirit will not be suffered to rest after death, till, 
by walking in it, he shall have restored the path to 
its previous state.” He then proceeded to quote 
the instance of a farmer of his acquaintance, who, 
as he assured me, influenced by the dread of the 
punishment in question, had, on his death-bed, 
given orders for the re-opening of a path which 
he had shortly before caused to be stopped up. 
He evidently himself held with the most unques- 
tionable faith this article of tradition, and of the 
neighbourhood. 
I once asked the same individual why he did 
not turn some late meadow-grass, which was 
rapidly withering under a scorching July sun. 
“T shan’t cut it,” was his reply, “till after St. 
Swithin’s Day, when we are sure to have rain.” 
“ But,” I said, “St. Swithin’s is past.” “ Ah,” he 
answered, “you go by the new style; but God 
made the old style, and man made the new; and 
we have never had such good seasons since the 
style was altered.” 
I once mentioned this superstition to a very in- 
telligent old woman, upwards of ninety years of
