"
All in a moment, as the half-mocking words left her lips, some idea
seemed to flash across Philip Hamlyn, bringing with it distress and
fear. His face turned to a burning red and then grew white as the hue of
the grave.

THE BRETONS AT HOME.
BY CHARLES W. WOOD, F.R.G.S., AUTHOR OF "THROUGH HOLLAND," "LETTERS FROM
MAJORCA," ETC. ETC.
Amongst the many advantages possessed by Morlaix may be mentioned the
fact of its being a central point from which a number of interesting
excursions may be made. It is one of the chief towns of the Finistere, a
Department crowded with churches, and here will be found at once some of
the best and worst examples of ecclesiastical architecture in Brittany.
Of the churches of Morlaix we have said nothing. Interesting and
delightful as it is in its old houses, it fails in its churches. Those
worthy of note were destroyed at the Revolution, that social scourge
which passed like a blight over the whole country, leaving its traces
behind it for ever.

The church of St. Melaine is the only one deserving a passing notice.
