frog's mouth for you. Remember, therefore, that as He also now
leaves open the mouth of the liar, blasphemer, and betrayer, you must
shut your own ears against _their_ voices as you can.

Of her name, St. Wolf--or Guelph--see again Miss Yonge's Christian
names. Our tower of Wolf's stone, Ulverstone, and Kirk of Ulpha, are,
I believe, unconscious of Picard relatives.

47. The other saints in this porch are all in like manner provincial,
and, as it were, personal friends of the Amienois; and under them, the
quatrefoils represent the pleasant order of the guarded and hallowed
year--the zodiacal signs above, and labours of the months below; little
differing from the constant representations of them--except in the May:
see below. The Libra also is a little unusual in the female figure
holding the scales; the lion especially good-tempered--and the 'reaping'
one of the most beautiful figures in the whole series of sculptures;
several of the others peculiarly refined and far-wrought. In Mr.
Kaltenbacher's photographs, as I have arranged them, the bas-reliefs may
be studied nearly as well as in the porch itself. Their order is as
follows, beginning with December, in the left-hand inner corner of the
porch:--

41. DECEMBER.--Killing and scalding swine. Above, Capricorn
with quickly diminishing tail; I cannot make out
the accessories.

42. JANUARY.--Twin-headed, obsequiously served. Aquarius
feebler than most of the series.

43. FEBRUARY.--Very fine; warming his feet and putting coals
on fire. Fish above, elaborate but uninteresting.

44. MARCH.--At work in vine-furrows. Aries careful, but
rather stupid.

45. APRIL.--Feeding his hawk--very pretty. Taurus above
with charming leaves to eat.

46. MAY.--Very singularly, a middle-aged man sitting under
the trees to hear the birds sing; and Gemini above, a
bridegroom and bride. This quatrefoil joins the interior
angle ones of Zephaniah.

52. JUNE.--Opposite, joining the interior angle ones of Haggai.
Mowing. Note the lovely flowers sculptured all
through the grass. Cancer above, with his shell superbly
modelled.

51. JULY.--Reaping. Extremely beautiful. The smiling lion
completes the evidence that all the seasons and signs
are regarded as alike blessing and providentially kind.

50. AUGUST.--Threshing. Virgo above, holding a flower, her
drapery very modern and confused for thirteen
