One evening late in November, which is} 4:4
ISLAND,
|the month when spirits have most power over all things, as the prettiest girl in all the island was going to the well for water, | her foot slipped and she fell, It was an unlucky omen, and when she got up and looked round it seemed to her as if she were in a strange place, and all around her was changed as if by enchantment. But at some distance she saw a great crowd gathy ered round a blazing fire, and she was drawn slowly on towards them, till at last she stood in the very midst of the people; but they kept silence, looking fixedly at her; and she was afraid, and tried to turn and leave them, but she could not. Then a beautiful youth, like a prince, with a red sash, and a golden band on his long yel!ow hair, came up and asked her to dance.
“Itisa foolish thing, sir, to ask me to dance,’’ she said, “when there is no music.”’
Then he lifted his hand and made a sign to the people, and instantly the sweetest music sounded near her and around her, and the young man took her hand, and they danced and danced till the moon and the stars went down, but she seemed like
everything in the world except the danc ing, and the sweet low music, and her beautiful partner.
At last the dancing ceased, and her put- ner thanked her, and invited her to supper with the company, Then she :aw an opens ing in the ground, and a flight of steps, and the young man who seemed to be king amongst them all, led her down, fol. lowed by the whole company. At the end of the stairs they came upon a large hall, all bright and beautiful with gold and sil- ver and lights; and the table was covered with everything good to eat, and wine was poured out in golden cups for them to drink, When she sat down they al! press. ed her to eat the food and drink the wine ; and as she was weary after the dancing, she took the golden cup the prince hand- ed to her, and raised it to her lips to drink Just then, a man passed close to her, and whispered—
‘Eat no food, and drink no wine. or you will never reach your bome again.”’
So she laid down the cup and refused to drink. On this they were angry, and a great noise arose, and a fierce, dark min stood up, and said —
“ Whoever comes to us must drink with
us.” And he seized her arm,ani held the wine to her lips, so that she almost died oi fright. But at that moment a red-haired man came up, and he took her by the hand and led her out,
“ You are safe for this time,’ he said.
Take this herb, and hold it in your band till you reach home, and no one can harm you.” And he gave her a branch of a
lant called the Afhuir-Luss (the ground
wy).
This she took, and fled away along the sward in the dark night; but all the time she heard footsteps behind her in pursuit, At last she reached home and barred the door, and went to bed, when a greut clamour arose outside, and voices were heard crying to her—
**The power we had over you is gone through the magic of the herb: but wiit— when you dance again to the music on the hill, you will stay with us for evermore, and none shall hinder.”
However, she kept the magic branch safely, and the fairies never troubled her ‘more; but it was long and long before the sound of the fairy music left her ears which she hac danced to that November night on the hill side with her fairy lover.
The “ Redshaired Man,” although he is
considered very unlucky in actual life, yet generally acts inthe fairy world as the benevolent Deus ex Machina, that saves and helps and rescues the unhappy mortal, who himself is quite helpless under fhe fairy spells. “There was a manin Shark Island who used to cross over to Boflin to buy tobacco. but when the weather was too rough for the boat his ill-temper was as bad as the weather, and he used to beat his wife, and flings all things about, so that no one could stand before him. ‘(ne day a min came to him.
* What will you give me if | go over to Boffin,’ said he, ‘‘and bring you the to- bacco ?”’
“T will give you nothing,” said the Other, ‘‘ Whatever way you go! can go also.”
‘* Then come with me to the shore,” said the firet man, * and |’jl shew you how to get across: but as only one can go, you poust go alone.’
And as they went down to the sea they sawa great company of horsemen saad ladies gallopping along with music and laughter.
Spring up now on horse and you will get across,’’ said the first man.
So the other sprang upas he was told,

And they were going to cast him down % second time when a red haired man plead~ ed for him, and carried him oft with % “8 hand safe to shore.
= Now,” said he, “ you are safe, b miad, the Spirits are watehing you, ad th ever again you beat your poor good wife’ and knock about the things at home just to torment her out of her life, you will die upon that rock as sure as fate.’’ And he vanished. So from that time forth the man was as meek as a mouse, for he was afraid; and whenever he went by the rock in his boat he always stopped a minuic. and said a little prayer for his wife, with a “God bless her.”’ And this kept away the evil, and they both lived together happily ever after toa great old age. _ This is buta rude tale. Yet the moral is good, and the threat of retributive jase tice shows a laudable spirit. of indignation on the part of the fairy race against the tyranny of man over the weaker vessel,

Virginia City, Nevada, is situated at o great elevation above the 86a, and the at- mosphere there has recently been uncon- monly fuil of electricity, so that many pers “ons were startled at receiving unexpected shocks and hearing snapping sounds. This occurred when articles of yarious kinds were passed from the hands of one person to those of another, and as often when the articles were not as when they were of some metal. Sometimes when persons touched hands a slight shock was felt and the elec- trical snap heard.

Poste CLairt.—During the summer small-pox has been making frightful havoc amongst the French-Canadian population of this place. Nearly all the children have had it, and are getting better or are dead. The doctor of the village is opposed to vaccination, and advises all who come to him not to vaccinate. No English people 30 far (although surrounded with it) have caught the disease, because they are ail vaccinated. Very few of the Frenc}- Canadians take even ordinary precautions to prevent the spread of the disease, with the exception of having masses said in the Church. Montrealers not wishing Yo caich this loathsome plague will not probably choose Point Claire as their watering place next summer.
