FAIRY MYTHOLOGY Gi ’

Toe Evi Eyve,—N

Some years «20 a woman 1 Kervy declared thal -he was “o: ” uF the Evil Kye. She had no ain ier life and no c »mfort, and st d 2w-y, because of the fear that we com d by the followir x singular . Ince *— Every ‘ime thet she hapr 2° © Jeove home alone, aid that no s wit! ‘n call, she was mt bv 9 worst ally \ oe ! nown to her, yi'w, tiaing Lev e.s on ber in silence, with a ter)’ expre. ion, cist her to the gros ° 4 proceed! to boat and pinch her ti’) she wos ne. rly somseless ; after which her tom er « pp ared.

altogether “vom ier: oe the house, unicss protec'ed by @ s°1) 4a.‘ ¢r companion: and this precaution the «served for several years, dur og waich time she never was mole:t 4. Soa lust ':¢ began to believe the spe". was brokan, and (ho her strange enemy had de. rted for ever.

In consequence she gre less careful about the usuai precaution, and one day stepped down slone toa lit:ie stream that ran by the hous, to wash some clothes. Stooping down over her work she never thought cf any danver, and began to sing £8 8} 2 used to do ia the li. it-hearted days befie the spe.. was on her, when suddenly adai<x shadow fe:| across the water and, looking up, sue beheld to her horror the strange woman on the opposite side of the little stream, with her terrible eyes intent - ly ixe Jon hee, as hard and stillas if she were ‘stone.

Spring ag up with « scream of terror. sxe flung down her work, and ran towards tue house; but soon she heard footsteps Les hind ber, and .n an iastant she was seized, thrown down to the ground, and her tor- menter began to beat her even worse than before, till she lost all consciousness; aod in this state she was found by her husband, lying on her face, and speechiess. She was at once carried to the house, and all the

bestow were lavished on her, but in vain. She regained sufficient consc:ousness +o tell them of the terrible encuunter she had gone through, but died before the night had passed away.

It was feared that the power of fascin- ation by the glance, which is not necessar- ily an evil power like the Evil Eye was pos- sessed ina remarkable degree by learned and wise people, especially poets, so that | they could make tl-emselves loved and {ol- lowed by any g'rl they lik od, simply by the influence of the glance. About the year 1790, @ young man resided in the couuty Limerick who had the power in a singular and unusual degree. He was a clever, witty rhymer in the Irish language; and, pobably, had the deep poet-eyes that cha- racterise warm and passionate natures— eyes that even without necromancy have been known to exercise a powerful mags netic influence over female minds.

‘Ine day, while travelling far from home, he came upon a. bright, pleasantslooking farm-house, and feeling weary, he stopped and requested a drink of milk and leave to rest. The farmer’s daughter, a young, handsome girl, not liking to admit a stran- ger, as all the maids were churning, and She was slone in the house, refused him admittance.

The young poet fixed his eyes earnestly on her for some time in silence, then slow- ly turning round left the hotise, and walk- ed towards a small grove of trees just op. posite. There he stood for « few mvs ments resting against a tree. aud facing .the house, as if to take some iasi vengeful or admiring glance, then weni » way Withe out once turning round.

The young girl bad been wit hing him from the windows, and the gent .e moved she passed out of the « uke one

[he opening is ustally attraciive, with the exciting for~ mula, “Once .pon a tine,” from which one always expect so much; and there is sure Lo be an oid woman, weird and witch« like, capab’e of the mo.t demoniacal ac- tiuns, and a my: ‘erious man who promises to be the unredeemed evil spirit of the tale; but ia the end they both turn out childishly harmie -. ard their eyil actions seldom go beyond sealing the neighbours’ butter, or abductiug a pretty girl, which sins more mortal would be quite equal to even without t!.e “ gods of the earth” and their renowned leader, Finvarra, the King of the Futri-s. The following tale, hows ever, of a case of abduction by fairy power is well constructed. The hero of the nars rative has our sympa by and interest, and it ends happily, which is considered a great merit by the Irish, as they dislike a tale to which they cannot append, as an epilogue, the hearty and outspuken “ Thank God.’
