SCENES AND STORIES OF VILLAGE LIFE. BY UTSS AGKNS STEICELAND. THE VILLAGE COMMON. In (lie parish ‘ of Woodfield (here is’a spot of peculiar beuu’y, called the Bird’s eye Green. Its name is nut derived, as some of my renders may have imagined, from the prospect w hich it commands, but from the profusion of that lovely little turf flower, the minor Fo- gel roe not, termed by the unlettered East Anglian na turalist the bird’s eye with which the emerald the merry nionih of May so gaily enamelled, that when you glance dowuwurds. it gleams like a bright blue carpeting bciivulh the spiral blades of grass. Bird’s eye Green, when first I knew it was a little world within itself, distinct and aeper. ute from the rest of the village. It Wj« one of those beuu'iful paik like commons which belorc the rage for arable enclosures deprived the oeasantry of agricultural districts of a sure stimulus fur industry and economy, might be een studded with groups of cattlo, or families f pigs arid poultry, affording a smiling picture of the prosperity of tho rich, and lhe,iinJpeu. deuce ot the labouring classes. It was, in fuel, a real commonwealth to nil the inhabitants of that parish, w here the cuW or pig of the hum ble labourer was free to share the right of pus tiirogewi’.h the flocks and herds of the sub slanliul yeoman. Every cottage then sent forth its proportion of live stock to the green under the cure ol' vaite t-rus'y urthiu of the family.—11 was a pretty Sight on hpring days atch the rosy curly fluted little colters, each presiding over the conduct of •* cow, a *g, x pet lamp, a tfcriu oj riowuy goslings, or brood of turkey chicks, w hichever it might bunco to be, or ]n;rhiips a weaning calf just turned out to graz.’, yet retaining sufficient *of its ladivorous propensities toYei/dt'r it an ob. ’•^ct *»f. jealous Suspicion to the proprie tors yr guardian* of nil the Trcccuily bereaved cotva on the-groen.

As Robert’s occasional overtures for a cessa- i ol hostilities on terms of peace ar.d good will, she always rejected thenri -with the most unqualified rxproxsior.* of *com. “His en mity might be endured,” she said, or es much as said, ‘hut his friei.d«bip wus inadmissi- ble.” *. . * Robert attributed this lofty laugungo to pride, and redoubled his persecutions with the of rendering himself o person of. greater importance in her sight. Sophy would have proved a match iu her retaliations for -any. pf the provocations with which her. rusiic foe as sailed her, but. utifortunatelyv her friend the lurkey-cack cameiu fora mortal injury in one of- these dium.l encounters,' and the luckless damsel, after the loss of ibis auxiliary, could d longer maintain her ground against Robert nd his grunting attendants, w ho were daily becoming more formidable; so6he now deem ed it rasst prudent, after suffering a complete defeat in two or three pitched battles, to .retire, from the contested spot, whenever Robert Rowe and his master’s herd made an advance.
