Her brows were widely depressed irom their natural : position, her face becaine pale, her eyes glared upon O'Rorke as if he had planted it poisoned arrow in her breast, she seized him - by the arm with a hard pinching gripe, and - looked up for two . r three minutes in his face, with an appearance of distraction. - 07torke, who had never feared man, shrunk from her touch, and shuddered under the influence of what had been, scarcely with• out an exception, cated the 'bad look.' The crone held him tight, however, and there they good, with their eyes fixed upon each. other. From the gaze of intense anguish. lbecountenance of Nell NlCrillum began to Change gradually to one of unmingled exill ; tation; her brows were raised to their prop -et curves, her color rtiturned, the eye cur roseate(' , with a rapid and quivering sense of delight, the muscles of the mouth played for .a little, its if she strove to suppress a laugh;—at length 0 Rorke heard a low gurgling sound proceed front her chest; it increased; she pressed his arm more tightly, and in a loud burst of ferocious mirth, which she immediately subdued into con , densed shriek that breathed the very luxury of revenge, she said, `Lamh Laudher Oge, listen:---ax Ow lather of you, when .0 no see him, what has beco.ne of his own child —of tb' firs; that ever God sent him; an' listen a•rain--‘s hen he tells me what has become of mine, ill tell him what has become of his.

The age was superstitious and encouraged a belief in th • influence of powers distinct from human agency. Every part of Ire land was filled at this time w.th charactels both male and female, precisely similar to old Null M'Cullum. The del kness in which this woman walked, according to t F, n - opinions of a people but sii2litly advanced in knowledge and citiliz Ilion, has been but feeb'y advanced to the reader. To ineet her was considered an omen of the Most.unhappy kind; a circumstance which • occasioned by the imprecation of Limb _Laudher. She was reported to have maintained an intercourse with the Niles, to be capable of communicating the blight of an evil eye, and to have car ried on a team which is said to have been rather prevalent in Ireland at the time we speak of.rTnernely, that of kidnapping. 'file speculations in reference to her object in - perpetrating this crime were strongly cal notated-to- exhibit the degraded state of' 101orpsople at that period. Some said that she disposed of the children to a certain class of persons in the metropolis. who subsequently sent them to the colonies, when grown, at an enormous profit.' Oth ers maintained that she never carrier] tbemAn Dublin at, all, but insisted that, - - -Wing been herself connected with the fa .- itieth ; shu possessed the power of erasing. . by some secret charm, the influence of baptismal protection, and that she conse quently acted u an agent for the 'gentry' to-whom she transferred them. Even to tbia day itia the opinion in Ireland, that the .good people' themselves cannot take away,. a Child, except through the instru -mentality of some mortal residing with thein, who has been baptized; and it is al io-believed- thiit no baptism can secure children froth them, except that in which the- riest has been desired to baptize them with at especial view to their protection stint fairy power. ... eh was the character this woman bore, whether unjustly or not, matters little. . : • rot' . the present it is sufficient to say, that alk,.,__r s •—_ having passed on, leaving Larvik) ._.

Nell, while 1.1 -, miter went to inform Meehaul, took two ribands out Gf her pock et; one white an-4 the other black, both of which she feldod into what would appear in a bystander to be a similar kin,l of knot. When the inkeeper's son and the waiter returned to the hall, the former asked her what the nature of her business with him might be. To this she made no rep'y. ;;cel,t by uttering the word hush! and pullintr the ends, first of the white ribbanri, and afterwards of black. The knot of the first slipped easily from the complica tion, but that of the black one, after gli• ding along from: its respective ends, be came hat(' and in the middle, T/rr sha mari-ho! life passes, ant death stays.' she exclaimed; 'Andy Connor's (lead, Meehaul Neil; an' ynu may tell your fither that he must get some one else to looKafther his sheep.
