CON O'KEEFE AA ND TILE GOLDEN CUP. ' EY It. SKELTON MACKENZIE ~. • , • . In Irelandi as in Scotland, among the lower orders,' there is a prevalent ,bellef in the Baia_ and supern a tural powers ' , the gentry commonly celled wfairies." Many and strange are the stories told of this mysterious and much dreaded Mee of beings. Loud and' flre• quent hare Wen the exclamations of surpilse, and even anger, at the hard incredulity which made ine'inihse, when I. was young, to credit all that' was narrated of the wonderful feats of Iristr6dries--the most ikolicksome of the . en tire genus. r The more my disbelief was mani fested, the more wonderful Were, the legend 4 which were launched at me, to overthrow my unlucky and matter-of-fset obstinacy: I have forgotten many of the traditions which were thus made familiar to. sae in •my boyhood, but my memory retains sufficient to convince me to what improbabilities Supersti tion clung—and the mere wonderful the story, the more implicit the belief. But in such cases' he fanaticism was harmless,—it was of the head rather than of the heart—Of the imagination rather than the reason. It would be fortunate if all superstitions did. as little mischief as this. It is deeply to beitunented that the matter-of factedriess of the Americans is not subdued or modified by any—even, the'slightest-:--belief in the old world superstitions of which' I Sneak. Of fairy-lore they cannot,. and they do not, possess the slightest item. They read of it, as if it were legendary, but nothing more. They feel it not—they know it—they are, therefore, dreadfully actual. So mush the- worse for them ! Having imbibed a sovereign contempt for the wild and wonderful traditions which had been duly accredited in the neighborhoefd, time but of mind,- I never was particularly chatty in ex pressing such contempt at every opportunity. When the mind of a boy soars,above the igno rance which besets his elders in an inferior station, who have had neither the chance nor the desire of being enlightened, he is- .apt , to pride himself, as I did, on - the "march of intellect" which has 'placed him superior; to their vulgar credulity.. Many years . have passed since I happened to bis' a temporiry visitor beneath the hospita ble roof of one of the better sort' of-farmers in the county - of Cork, during the' holidays. "As usual, I there indulged •in sar casm against the credulity of- the country. One evening, in particular,-i was not 'little tenacious in laughing at the very exigence , :of "the fairy folk;" and, as sometimes happens, ridicule , accomplished more than- argument could have effected. My hosts couldbear any thing ii the way of argument.—at least of argument such as mine—they could even suffer' their favorite legends and theories about, the fairies to be abused;" but to laugh at them that was an act of unkindness which quite passed their comprehension,', and grevionsly taxed their patience. My host was quiteiu desp'air, and almost- in anger at my boyish joke) upon his fairy-legend; when the village schoblmaster Mune in, en un. invited but most welcome guest. A chair was soon provided for' hiMin the 'warmest corner —whiskey was immediately on the. table,:and the schoolmaster, Who :wee a pretty , Conitant, votary to litacchus ' lost notimpinmaking him self acquainted With its flaVer:' I - had often seen him before. He conibined in his•Cbaracter, a mixture of shrewdness'• and simplicity', was a' most 'excellent' Mathemati cian an.d good classical seholar-Linte of ;the' world'boitnew tibia :to nothing. Prolix youth to age • had been spent mithitt the limits'of -the pariah ever itich;'cane in hand; he ,pre sided for more thanii quarter of fi• century,--- at mice a- teacher and, am oracle! He was deeply imbued with a belief in the superstitions of the district,- but was more • especially • fami liar with the wild legends of - the rocky' 'glen (the defile near Kilworth, commonly, called Araglin, once famous for the extent of illicit distillation carried on there), in which he had passed away his life, Usefully, but humbly em ployed. • ' • ' • To this eccentric character-my Mist -trium phantly appealed for proof respecting the ex; intone° and vagaries of the fairies. ,He wasted no time in argument, but,- glancing triumph= nutty around, declared that be would convert me ,by a particularly welVettested ' story. Draining his tumbler, and incontinently'mixing another, Mr. Patrick McCann plunged at once into the heart of bin narration, as follows: a You know the high hill that overlooks the town at Fernley ? Haidsome and thriving platens it now is, I remember the 'time when there were only,two houses in that Smile town, and one of them was then in course of building-1 Well,there lived on the other side • Corran Th 'erne (the mountain in question, though Cor rig is the true name),one of the Barrys, a gen tleman who was both rich and 'vie& I 'wish we hail more of the stamp among us now— 'tis litttle of the Whiteboys •or Ribbonmen would trouble the country.. 'ben. He had a fine forture; kept up` aline - house, and livPd at - a dashing rate. It dried - not matter, here nor there, howmany sanrants he had; but _lmam. tionthem, because one of them was a very re markable fellow. His equal was not to be had, far or near,' for love nor money;; , . • a This iteriaat was called Con O'Keefe: ,, He was a crabbed little Inanywlth a face the very color and tenure of old parchnient, and belled lived in the family time out mind. He was such a rata,: dwarfish, deeny creature, that no one ever thought of putting him to hard work.' All that they,did was, now and again, from the want of a better messenger-at the moment,- or to humor the old man, to send' bid to Bath= cormac post-office for letters. But, he was too weak and feeble to walk so far—though it was only a matter of three or four miles; so they, got him a little ass, and he rode upon it,.'quite" as proud/173 a general at the head of an army of conquerors. 'Twits as good as a plaY• to see, Con' mounted upon his dotikey- 7 you dould scarcely make out which had - the - mast " stupid look. But neither man nor,beast can help his looks. • . • • • "At that time Rathcormac; though' 'tis ' but a village now, was a borough, and, 'sent lie members to the Irish Parliament.

" ; 'fOne night; 'is he was: going along, rather the worse for liqUor, he thought lie heard a confused soundof voices in the air, directly over his head: - Ife stopped, and ' sure enough it was the fairies, who were chattering away like a bevy of magpies; but he did not know this at the time. ‘‘,At first he thought It nilght be some of the neighbors wanting to play him a trick. So, to show, that he was not afraid (for the drink 'had made him as bold as a lion), when,-lhe 'voices above and around him kept calling out !Digit up I' high' up I', he put in his spoke, and out, as loud as any of them, 'High up! high up with ye; my lads I' No sooner said than done. He was whisked off his donkey in a twinkling, and was 'high up' In the air, in the very mid dle of a crowd of 'good people'—for .it' hap pened to be - one of , their.ifestival nigts, and' the cry that poor little Conlietird was the sum mons for gathering theoi- all together. AT though Con had the reputation tit Barry's-fort of being well acquainted' with' them, all, you' may well believe that there' was not a single face among the lot that he knew, (f In less than no time, off they went, when their leader—a little morsel of a fellow not bigger than Hop-o'-my .Thumb,-bawled out; fili n g)] for France! high for France I high over l' Off they went, through the air—quick as if they were on a steeple-chase.

They had a parting-glass, and, in half an hour or so had crossed the wide sea, and dropped little Con ((pretty well, I thank you,' by this time on the precise spot he had left on the evening before. Be bud been drinking out of a beautiful golden cup in the cellar, and, by some mistake or other, it bad slipped up the sleeve of the large loose coat he wore, and so he brought it home with him. Not that Con was not honest enough, but surely a man may be excused for taking (a cup too much' in a "Con was soon awakened by the warm sun beam playing upon his face. At first he thought he bad been dreaming, and he might have thought so to his dying day, but that, when he got on his feet, the golden clip rolled on the road before him, and was proof positive that all was a reality. "He said his prayers directly, between him and harm, Then he put up the cup and walked home; where, as his little donkey had returned oh the previous night without him, the family had given him up as lost or drowned. Indeed, some ,of them had sagaciously suggested the probability of his having gone off for good with the fairies. "Now, does not my story convince you that there must be such things as fairies ? It is not more than twenty years since I heard Con O'Keefe tell the Whole story from beginning to end; and he'd say or swear with any man that the whole of it was true as gospel. And as sure as my name is Patrick McCann, I do be lieve that Con was in strange company that night. I ventured to say to Mr. McCain that, being yet incredulous, I must have better evidence than little Con's own declaration. "To be sure you shall," said be. "Was not the golden sup taken up to Barry's-fort, and to be seen—as seen it was—by the whole coun try?" I answered that, " Certainly, if the cup is to be seen there, the Case is materially altered." " I did not say that the cup is at Barry's fort," said McCann, " only that it was. The end of the story, indeed, is nearly as strange ?is the beginning:--When Con O'Keefe came back from this wonderful excursion, no ono believed a word of what he said ; for though it was, whispered that he was great with the fairies, yet when the matter came tangibly be fore them: they did not credit it. But Con soon settled their doubts; be brought for ward the cup, and there was no gainsaying 'that evidence. Air. Barry took the Cup into his own keep ing, and, the name and residence of the French lord being engraved upon it, determined (as in honor bound) to send it home again. So he went off to Cove without any delay, taking Ccin with him ; and as there luckily was a ves sel going off to France that very day, he sent off little Con with the cup and his very best compliments. Now, the cup was a great favorite with the French lord (being a piece of family plate, given to one of his ancastorsby one of the old kings of France, whose life he had saved in battle), and nothing could equal the hubbub and confltsion that arose when it was missing. His lordship called for some wino at din ner, 'and great was his auger when the lackey handed it to him in a glass, declaring that they could Rot find the golden goblet. Re throw glass, and wine, and all, at the servant's head— flew into a terrible passion—and swore, by all thitt was good and bad, that he would not take anything stronger than water until the cup was on the table again; and that if it was not forthcoming in a week, he'd turn off every Servant he had, without paying them their wages, or giving them a character. it The cup was well searched for, but all to no purpose, as you may suppose. At last the week came to an end—all the servants bad Mak clothek packed up, to be off in the morn ing. His lordship was getting dreadfully tired of drinking cold water, and the Whole house was, as one may say, turned topsy-turvy, when tol the delight and admiration of all, in came Coln O'Keefe, from Ireland, with a letter from Mr. Barry and the cup In his list. I rather think they welcomed him. His lordship made it a point to get glorious' that night, and, as in duty bound, the entire house hold followed his example, with all the `plOasure in life. You may be cetain that Con plliyed away finely at the wine—you know the fairies had wile him free.of the cellar—so lin knew the taste of the liquor, and relished it tot). There can be no doubt that there was a regular jolilitlcation in the chateau that night. 'Con remained in France for a month, and pdrfectly in clover, for, from the lord •to the laekoy, every' one liked, him. ' When ho re tuimed he had a heavy Mire° of gold for him se f, and many fine presents for his master. I4deed, while, the French lord lived, which was for fifteen good'years longer, a couple of ho'gsheade of excellent claret were annually reeived at Barry's-fort, as a present from him, anki there was no wine in the country to equal it: -As for Con O'Keefe, he never had the lak to meet the fairies again, a misfortune he .vely sincerely lamented. And that's the whole story." I asked Mr McCann, whether he really be lieved all of it ? That worthy replied in these words Why, in truth, I must say, some parts of it require rather an elastic mind to take in; but there's no doubt that Con was sent over to Fiance, where, it is said, there was a - great to dol, about a golden cup. -I am positive that Mr;Barry used to receive a present of claret every year, from. d French lord, for I've drank' some of the best claret in Ireland from Mr. Bdrrys's cellar. If the tale be true—and I have told it as I heard Con O'Keefe tell it, especial lyiwhen overcome by liquor, at which time the truth is sure,to come out—it is proof post diVe, that there have been fairies in this neigh .bohood, and that within the memory of man!" uch a logical conclusion was incontroverti ble, especially when enforced by a facetious wink from the schoolmaster; so I oven left matters as they were, and listened with all pr per attention to other stories in the same ve n, and to the same effect. If the narrator did not credit them, most of his auditors did, wifich amounts to much the same in the end. Some other time, perhaps, I may be tempted to Irelate them. .• . , I , . gibiffing• k .

They extend from North-East and North-West, through the middle of the State, to the extreme South, and ineludo every variety of climate and productions found between those parallels of latitude, The Northern portion is chiefly prairie, interspersed with fine groves and in the middle and Southern sections timber predominates, alternating with beautiful prairies and openings. The climate is snore healthy, mild and equable, than any other part of the country—the air is pure and bra cing, while living streame and springs of excellent water abound. Ifituiniuorus Coal is extensively mined, and supplies a cheap and desirable fuel, being tarnished at many points at $2 to $4 par ton—and wood can be had at the saute rate per cord. Building Stone of excellent quality also aboundr, which can be procured for little more than the expanse of 'transportation. The great fertility of these lands, which are a black rich mould, from two to Live feet deep, and gently roll log; their contiguity to this road, by which every lad lily is furnished for travel and transportation to the principal markets North, South, East, West, and the economy with which they can he cultivated, render them the mpst valuable investment that can be found, and present the most favorable opportunity for persona of iroluetrlous habits and small means to acquire a rem. ((notable Independence In a few years. Chicago is now the greatest grain market in the world; and the facility and economy with which the products of these lands can be transported to that market, make them much more profitable, at the prices naked, than theao more remote at government rates, as the addt tional cost of transportation is a perpetual tax on the tatter, which must be borne by the producer, in the re duced price he receives for his grain, &o. The title is perfect—and when the final payments are made, deeds are executed by the trustees appointed by the State, and In whom the title is vested, to the per chasers, which convey to them absolute titles in foe sim ple, free and clear of ewory incumbrance, lien or mort gage. The prices are from $0 to PO: interest may 3 per ct. Twenty per ct. will be deducted from the price for cash. These who purchase on long credit, give notes payable in Iwo, three, four, five and ell year's after date, and are required to improve one-tonth annually for five years, on as to have one-half the land under cultivation at the end of that time. Competent surveyors will accompany those who wish to examine theme Lando, free of charge, and aid them In making selections. The Lands remaining unsold are as rich and valuable as those which have been disposed of. EMOTIONAL MAPB Will be sent to any one who will enclose fifty cents In postage starve, and books or pamphlote containing nu merous instances of succossfni farming, algued ,by re apecteble and well known farmers living in the neigh borhood of the Railroad Lands, throughout the St ate— also the cost of touring, price of cattle, expense of har vesting, threshing, etc.,—or any other information— will be cheerfully given co application, either personally or by letter, in Diaglieh, Wrench, or German, addressed to TORN WILSON.
