A Curions Legend.

Easby abbey, the ruins of which lie close to the river Swale, a short distance from Richmond, in Yorkshire, England, is the home of a curious legend, says Photography. One of the main walls of the building Is cracked and toppling, hut has not yet fallen to the ground. Nor do the natives expect it to do so, at least not until it receives the impulse which it Is said to await. For a tradition relates that the wall, when it does fall, will bury In its ruins a newly married couple, and as the tale Is well known the chance of a honeymooning pair resting beneath its shade is remote.
