~. • , • .
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. Was ,not ,
the great Curran, the orator and patriot, meta=
ber for Rahcormac; when lie Was, a young'man?
Did not: Colonist Torison get made :ad Irish

and, at that time Corran. Thiernai swarmed ,
with them. They changed their quartere:when
the regiments from Fermoy
tiring•against targets stuck up at. the ;foot of
the mountain. Not that a bail could ever, hit
a fairy (except a silver One castby a girl in her'
teene,,who bas never wished for a lover, or a
widow. under forty who has not sighed for a
second husband-so there's little chance that
it will-ever, be eitst), brit they hate the 'noise of
the firing and the; smell of 4guppinvder ; quite
as much as the devil hates holy water. - 81
"'Tie reckoned lucky in these partslo have a al
friend - of the fairiesin_the house with you; and , -
that,was,partly the. reason whyJ Con O'Keefe
was kept at ,Darry's.fort.. Many, 'and ' a
one, could sweat to hearing him and the geed
folk' talk together at twilight on, his return
from Rathcormac with the.letter-bag...IIy.OWIL
notion 10, ,that if he fiad.ariythingiO auto Bunt f;
he had more sense than to hold,converaation'i
with them on the higlcroad,- for • what might
have led to a general discovery. Cott Was fond
of a drop, and, when he took it (which was in
an algebraic way, that is, 'any given quantity'),
he hactimish famous spirits, and his tongeg
went 89 glibly', that; in the abienee of other ,
company ; he was sometimes forced to talk tal i
himself, es he- trotted home. -', • ' '," . " ;
'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. Noss and,

leer:lied 'the coast of France... • • • '

pet *linen who'd' wait - to "444,040,
So they drank on till night slipped away, when
the sun—like a proper gentleman as he is, sent
in one of his earliest beams, as a sort of gentle
hint that it was full time for them to return.
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.

!'CHOICE FARM LANDS FOR SALE.—
NJ THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY
to now prepared to sell about 1,600,000 acres of choivo
Farming lauds, iu tracts of 40 acres and upwards,
long credits, and at low rates of interest,
These lands wore granted by the Government to aid
In the construction of this Road, and are among the
riehest and moat fertile In the world. 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
