to a friend who lived. in South
, of Ireland, we were Sitting (en the

.,
proachilig the house, carrying a staff
ull five feet long in hie right hahd,
and in his left, what:J afterwards
found, was an old musical instru-
ment, something like a flagonet.
After carefully obSetiring the - curl-
OUS figure for some time, I said,
" In the name of St. Denis,
who,
i
or what is that?"
"That," said my_ftiend, enjoying'
my - surprise, "that is the. Fairy -
man." :
"The what?" said I, not think-
ing I had heard distinctly. .
"The Fairyman," he repeated,
"so called fromi bein, with the lit-
tle gentry, and even' now is under/
their dominion. The peasantry
tell cut -ions stories about him,but
hark! he lias commenced playing;
cotne:and make Your observationa
upon hitra ind when be is gone we
shall spealt-of him."
When we, went_ to the hall door he
was playing a wierd tune on his
.
flagonet, which, instead of putting
to his lips, he blew With his nose.
, , .
When he. c ased; after having play-
ed two or hree eu-rious tunes, my
friend said o him, " So, Tioi, I see
you have gi t -backafter your long
journey." •
"Yes si , ' said he, (devoutly
crossing. hii self) " glery be to the
Man above he brought me safe-
baek," -- -
"Do OL intend to remain at
home now for any ti!Elle ?" said 'my
friend! ,
" No sir only .10tig enough
to rest rays f a little, and to visit
the neighbo ng gentry.'
"And wi ere do von intend td go,
next;" said my friend.
"To a..station in the County of
Kerry," said he.
"Why man," said my friend,
"this continual travelling and pen-
ance will kill you befOre your
time." . . . •
" Mushaa I can't help it; sir," said
he, the heavy vows is upon me, an' I
must keep gOin' While I live." a
My friend then gave him some
silver, for which he Int ni bly thanked
. him, and praying for a blessing on
the family, he to6k his staff and de-
parted as leisurely as he came.
During the time spent in playing
and. Conversation I was busy in my
obserKations of him, and shallhere
endeavor to meeent him to ihe read-
er. He seemed to be over sixty
years old, above the middle height,
with a crafty looking coubtenence,
.
which'was anything bat 'preposses-
sing. His ;clothes, much. the ,worse
for wear, were macle something after
the fash ion of the last century, the coat, ;
green, with high collar; large cuffs,
and large lapels, vest the same, knee
breeches, with rusty plated knee and
shoei buckles, a bob wig alid queue,
sutimounted by an enormous three -
cocked hat, completed the garb of
this curious individual. When he
had:gonemy friend asked me what
Ithought of our visitor. , I said I
had never seen.anything like him.
"But," said I, " you surely can
tell me somethieg about him." -
"0," said he, " there are a great '
many incredible storieS told .of him;-.
bow he was carried off by the fairies'
and obliged to Sell himself to them,
how they take him away once a
year, and:how the fear of evil con-
sequences for yielding to them has
caused biro to become a. pilgrim, and
it is certain that he is continually
travelling from station to station in
all parts of the country, and doing
severe pendace. He plaYs his way
as yotr have seen, itad is well re-
ceived by. the. farmers everywhere,
and he teaches .the Young people
their prayers, and is regarded by
-them with superstitious awe."
"1 should like very much to
bear of his encounter with the fair-
ies," said I.
" Well," said my friend, "when
he is -in this part of the country he
lives with an old crone, a .relative
of his, about three miles from here,
and I shall gratify your ,T love for
' legendery love' by driving you
over to her cabin to -morrow. As
Tim does not appear inclined lately
to speak of. his dealintt,s with the
fairies, and as sheknows all about
it, the respect which she professes to
have for me, backed by some silver,
will, I am sure, induce her to open
to you the mysteries of Fairyology,"
Accordingly we set off, in good time
the next morning, ancl drawing up
at the cabin door, were ereeted with
, b
the usual •
—
" God save yez, gentlemire won'
yez be plased to walk in." . I
"That is just what we have come
for,. Nanny," said ray friend, and
liaving.entered the cabin, we found
the few articles of furniture it con-
tained neat and clean, but Nanny
made the only two Chairs yet clean-
er by dusting them with her apron.

eyes fairly glistened, but She pro-
tested that a good right she had to
do anything for him ter his many
kindnesses to her. So she sat dovin
to commence. ;in right earnest, but
when she sew me produce my tablets
to take notes, she at first objected,
but being told' that it was simply
that I could remember the story, she
gave an unwilling consentand corn-
tnenced as follows:
" It will he fifteen years come
next midsnminersince Tim was en-
gaged to play at the fair of Kilmona,
tot yea must know, gentlemete that
when he was young he Was the ele-
gant piper. He was the life of
every company, an' was always
-
'looked for at every gatherin', an'
bein' a wild boy I didn't feel much
aneaay when he didn't come home
that night. For slicirtly afther 1
mairied the good old 'man that's in
glory this seven years (test his sowl).
Tim an' I bein' own -cousins, he came
to live with us, an' remained ever
since, 'Deed ae' if it wasn't for his
kindness, I couldn't keep the cabin
over my head since T was a widdy.
0A,` but he's the blessed an' holy
man, now, he's in five Orders an'
his prayers bring the blessin? wid
them. So, as r was saying', •I wasn't
.much aveasy at .night, but in the
.mornini I was neer frightened (Int of
my five senses when I .see Tom
:Darragh the carman bring -him to
the door. He waseraVirt' like a
madman and didn't knew nothin'.
His face was all strelied black an'
blue, an' his lips was swelled up
like two big turnips. His clothes
was all tore, an' his bagpipes Was -
smashed to...smithereena. When
we brought him in an' :put - him to
bed, I axed Tom Darragh *hat had
happened to him at all at all, to
leave him in such a swte. But lie
said he:couldn't, tell anything .about
it, only that he found 'him lyin' un-
der the white -thorn three near Car-
rigdrobid forth,* all smashed up that
way an' a' empty bottle beside him,
an' that philyjocawn that he plays
or. now in hidi hand. But,' says
Tom, I hear there was a tight wid
Ihe showthen in the fainaandI chink
I seen that thing *id one of them.
But that wasn't the way it happen-
ed at all at all, as ,yez will, see by'm
by. But there he Was; the cratur,
ravin' like a madman, an'i.or seven
blessed days an' nights he didn't
know anything, but all the while
talkin' about the good people an the
sylpha. At ene titne - he'd cry out
the sylphs was comin' at hilt, an'
he'd call upon the good gentleman to
come an' saye him. An' theft he'd
put that thing to his nose an' blow
in it, then, he'd clap his hands an'
cry out that's elegant. clan/ie.'
An' lie carried on that way till my-
self an' the woman Jhat was *id me
was a'most frightened out of onr
lives. But on the eighth clay, after
he had Some sleep,..he" opened his
eyes, an' after lookin' ;at me for
awhile. A rrah Nanny,' says he, is

was pleased to hear, him. An'

alana, but myself that have watch-

he, Where am 1, or am,- I in the

1, where else would you he but,in

he, ' sleep content now since

the dirrink an' he sdon fell asleep,
an' didn't wake up 'till the next

says he, I'm very weak. 4t-

Tom Darragh towld me what

says I. There ain't .a Word o

en' presently I heard a rush iu the
air like birds flying, au' the be
isaid, .speaking to somebody else,:
1' this is Tim, the piper, the very
'man we want, come my childher,
• bring him along, to the Forth, an'
presently a *hole .crowd of little
men appeared an' gathered round
me, an' carried me along. When
we come to the Forth, one of them
pulled up a hunch of ferns out of
the side of it, and there was a beau-
tiful passage into the biggest room I
ever seen, an' all tell of the good
people. When they laid hie down,
then the little gentleman Caine to me,
an' says he, Tim, I'm sorry for ye,
an' if I can't cure ye of the hurts
them sylphs gave ye, take this me -
m' take awity yer rain,' an' he hand-
ed me tiny glass cup wid some
sweet thing in it 'like wather, an'
the minute I took it all the pains
an' scireness left me, an felt as
I ,could folly. hitia over the world.
Come now,' keys he, an' get some-
thing to eat aii' then I'll tell ye
what we:want ye for.' So he took
me into !inother great „):sig roien
wher,f there was a long table spread,
en' a great many of the little people:
eatin'. There was all sorts of wonder -
fel things to eat.,all in little glass
dishes, but I noticed that there was
neither 'bread nor salt, but little.
sweet_things like chesnuts. When
I had done eatin' he come to me
again! 'an' now Tin,' says he, we
have a great party 9f our friends
that's to stay wid us, for seven
nights, an' we want you to- play for
us,' says he. Sir,' Biqa I, I'd do
it wid pleasure, or anything else to
plase ye, for Pro yours now body
and sowl for ever, but them other
people have smashed my pipes to
smithereens." Never mind the
pipes,' says he, but take,. this, it
will make music we like better than
the pipes,' an' he handed me this in-
strument. But, murther in ages,'
bays I, I can't put it' to my mouth
wid the way they have left my lips.'
says he, 'you Are musicarter
enough to blow into it wid yer nose,
try itam' ye'llisee, an' keep it avid ye
always an' 'twill stand yer friend in
time of need,' says he, So, I puteit
to my nose, an' sure enough I could
play the beautifulest music on it.
Then heitoOk me out to the tOp of
the Forth an' then the whole coun-
try, as far as I could see, was cover-
ed with the good people, an' there
wasIghts like little stars flyin' all
over aoove their heads. As SOOn as
I 'aegan to play they all began to
dance. but 'twasn't like our dahcin',
for a whole crowd of them would
catch bands, 314' form a ring, an' run
round an round, then -they'd jump
up into the air, an' tumble over art'
over, an' cut up all sorts of queer
capers. Near daybreak the little
man, (I ;bun, ;lie was the king, for
he wore a handsome laced, green
wet' an' a laced cocked hat, an'
every one done what he bid him) he
mule to me, Now Tim,' says he,
have ,danced enough for to-
night: Come in 'till ye get some
more nourishment.' •‘ So I followed
him...into the same room; ae' afther
tastin' of everything almost, he came
an' set down beside me. • NOW

says he; tThreth, yer honor, I ana;

Nanny, there was a ,spell or me
that I'd lay down my life for 4im.
Very well, Tim,' says he; won't
ax much of ye, only to come an'
play for us for six nights more; an'
then every midsummer night while
ye live, an' don't be frightened.' sap"
he, far my,- people will do ye no
harm, only don't let you people talk
of us widout respect, an' tell them to
leave a br,ight fire an' a clean hearth
for us -every night, an' some clean
wather in the house, for we often
visit ye when, ye are sound asleep.'
Then, yer honor,' says I, may I
make so bowld as to ax ye, who are
the sylphs that bat mein this way.'
'The sylphs,' says: be, 'are bad
spirits, they s say that they
are bade of dew, ;so they are
of the earth, an' are related to you
mortals, an' they are always tryin'
to do you harm. It is the sylphs
that gives you the puck, % an' that
gives yer cattle the mnrrin', an'
blasts yer.cor, an' takes the milk
from ver cows, an' does ye all sorts
of mischief.' 'Then sir,' says I, I
perceive that you people have noth-
ing to ;do wid therh at all at all, an'
that they're afraid of ye." You
are right in that Tim,' says he.

an' because we done. wrong we're
doin' penance for it now, but in-

Nanny; a vick, it is a terrible thing
to be bound to them for ever, an'
though the gentleman said that
they would do me no harm, how do
I know but it weuld hurt,iny poor
sowl ? So- I have made up my
mind that as soon as I'm able to go
to the 'chapel, I'lt make a Now to
Ale Blessed Nether, that I'll never
taste a_drcp of 'whisky, nor play a
Itune on the pipes, . bdt that I'll go
for a pilgrim, and do penance ae
long as I live.' • An' he kept bis

the next Sunday he made the vow
at the foot of the altar, an' ever
since that he's all the time goin from
one station to another, an' playin) on

that thing he got from the pod peo-
ple:
When she had finished- tve thank-
ed her for her long story, and start-
ed for borne. Then my friend ask-
ed me what I thought of Tim's ex-
perience with the fairies, I answered
that I thought him a:perfect imp. OS -
tor.
" Why'?" said he.
"Because," said I, "he can't he-
' lieve in that nonsense, and yet he
tries to get others to do so."
"I must differ from you in that,"
said my friend, "Lthink it quite
as likely for him to believe that he
was with the fairies, as that any one
else should believe his story, and
my reasons for thinking so are these:
There is no country iu the world,
perhaps, but has its aerial beings
-under one na. rne or another, and our
country is famed for it, and the
common people, yes, and many of
the learned, t -believe in their exis-
tence as firmly as they do
in any article of their creed.
So that this man's mind
was always stored with such
knowledge. Now he hid had a
severe fit of Sictness, brought On,
no doubt, by excess, and if in his
delirium his imagination turned in
that quarter, (aa by Nanny's
account it did) it require -s no
great stretch of morbid thought
to believe that the whole, to
him, was .a reality. And the
circumstance of his giving up
his former way of life, and turning
to religion, ptroves: to me his sincer-
ity, for I remember that Nanny
said, that he told her, thitt he bad
learned from the fairies (although
they did mit tell him so) that if
people were leading. good lives, and
doing their duty; the fairieswould
have no power tq hurt them.'"
" Perhaps you ate right," said I,
but at all -events we have learned
more of Fairydom than either you.
or I knew before."

affords me great pleasure to bear testi-
mony to the benefit received from using

great power and efficacy, curing me in a
