A poor Irish cobbler, in order to try hie luck, goes to sleep in a spot, which tradition makes the haunt of fairies, and where, it is believed, wealth may be had for the seeking He hadn’t been asleep, as be thought, an in- stant, before he felt an innumerable quanti of tiny feet traversing him all over; with reg- ular step they marched up his throat and sealped his-chin ; making two divisons up his cheeks, they arrived at his eyes, whore they © mmenced tugging at the lids until they were forced open; the sight which met his view filled him with dreadfal wonder. The circle of meadow in which he had barely room to stretch himself out, formed all he could see of earth. Chureh, village, country, all had vanished; he rubbed be eyes and looked again, but there was nething. With an in expressible sensation of awe, he turned round, and creeping cautiously to the edge of the oir- cle, gazed downward and could jast discover the village he had quitted abouta mile be- low. With still increasing dread, he was not aware that he was geatnally mounting high- er and higher. ne more look—villages, cities countries, were blended into onc undis- tinguishable mass, and soon the globular form of the earth appeared thoroughly defined, swinging in the air. He then became sensible of a tremendous heat, which inereased in intensity, until he found to his dismay that he was rapidly shrink- ing in size—his flesh dried up, shrivelled, cracked, and clasped his diminishing bones tighter, until at last he was not bigger than a respectable fly. ‘This is mighty quars,”’ thought Corney, ~ there's a great lot of things like me frol: about. I feel as light ase feather. I wonder if I coulda’t make one among them” So saying he bounded up, and to his great amazement found that he had literally jumped out of hisskin He perched up his own head, which had resumed its nat- ural size, and fiying off, found himself floating securely in the air, while the carcass he had just deserted fell, af circle and all, rapidly towards the earth and finally also disappear- ed. Oh! the pranks that Corney played in the first delight of being able to fly; he dived down, he careered up, he threw mad sum mersets like a tubler pigeon—so light ard buoyant had he become that the passing va- pors served him for aresting-place He was bappy, intoxicated with glee, thousands upoa thousands of atomies gambolled around fim like gnats in a summer beam, the whole sur Pc eXpanse was instinct with joyous life And they knew Corney, and saluted him as he passed by with a compliment “Hallo !’’ said they, ‘‘here’s Corney O'Car rol—how are you, Corney’ [t is well you're looking ’’ And Corney was astonished at the extensive nature of his atmospheric acquaint- ance. *‘ How do you like a fairy’s life, Cormey ?”” said one slim, midge waisted ehap “Tiligant, your fairyship, illigant,’’ said Corney. “Then, I'd advise you to make the most of it while it lasts. You soon have to appear before our king, and if you don’t give a satis- factory reason for seeking him, woe betide ou’ a Don't be frightened, sir,”’ said Corney ; “ I've rayzon enough for comin’ to satisfy any dacint disposed fairy.” “ Doubttul,”’ said the good natured elf, and off he few “Stupid spirit,’” thought Corney, and over he tumbled in mad reckiessuess, enjoying ac- tually that delicious sensation which sone- times occurs to people in dreams—the ability to skim through the air with the speed and safety of a bird. What struck Corney moct particularly was the universal expression of glee that prevailed ; nothing could he hear but a universal hum, that rose and fell on the ear with @ purr-like undulation, such as one might imagine would proceed from a paradise vf remarkable happy cats. While Corney was thus reveling in his new found element be was suddenly accosted by two very genteel fairies. ‘-Mr. Cornelius O Carrol, we presume ””’ said they. “There s not a doubt of it, gintlemen,”’ re- plied Corney “We have come to have the pleasure of conducting you into the presence o! our kjng,”’ they continued. ** With a heart and a half,’’ said Corney ; “where might bis magesty domesticate ?”’ “In yonder gold-tinted cloud, a few szes- ond’s fly from this; follow us.’’ Upon nearing the regal abode Corney ob served sundry smal] substances, like buekshot, cropping downward. ‘Whats thim?” jn- quired he of his conductors. “Oh !’’ answered one, ‘‘ onl: tented souls, who, like you, bh sought our king and haven’t given suffi t reason for troubling him with their complaints.” Corney begun to feel nervous, but coming to the conclusion that he had as good a tight to be enriched through the fairy agency as ever Phil Biake had, be put on # boid fron, and was ushered into the presence of the fairy po- tentate. There a sight of such dazzling splen- dor presented itself to his view, that, as be said himself, ‘* You might as well try to count the stars of a frosty night, or look right into the sun's heart of a summer's day, as to give the siightest notion of the grandeur that sur- rounded me.’’ Ail hecouid compare it to wat a roultitude of /eving jewels of every va: of hue sparkling and lashing in perpetual ligat. As soun as he could cvilect his scattered senses, he heard a voice exclaim, “ What, ho ! soul of O Carrol, approach !’’ E ‘Som thravelin’ without my trunk this time, any way,’’ thought Corney, as he ad- vanced towards the yoice It continued, “Soul of a mortal, why hast thou sought our presence ?’? es ‘May it plase your majesty,’’ Corney be- gan to stammer out, ‘ bekase I was a trifle aay in my mind.” + What about?’’ r ‘In regard of scarcity of money, plase your reverence.’’ ‘ «What is your trade?” “ A shoemaker, sir ’’ ¢ 2 “Cobbler, you mean,’’ said the voice, se- verely ‘* No lying here ; recollect your poor, miserable, naked soul stands before us.’ Corney thought of the height he'd have to fall, and trembied “ You can’t get work, I suppose,” the voice returned. P : “Too much of it, if it plase yer honor. I never have a minit to spare.”’ “For what?” “ Why yer honor, to—to— ‘Remember the punishment of prevarica- tion.”” “To what?” “To take wdbrink.” “Then you have no home ?” “Oh, yes but I have, sir.” “But ‘tis pleasanter to lounge in the tap room.’” ‘* A trifle, may be, your honor.” “Perhaps you have no wife to home comfortable?” ; ‘Haven't I though; the best that evir drew the breath of life,” cried Gorney, with a loving remembrance of Mary, ‘* Poor fellow,”’ continued the voice ; “your situation is deplorable, it ap; ar a good trade, an excellent wife, a comforta- ble home, and yet you are discontented.’ Leena, felt himself gesolving into « leaden pallet. “One question more,” said the voice; “when ‘did i fret feel dissatisfied?” “Why, he tell the setae yor memes hoe ow, oomnm Pad tis © poll ite to my little mud oa S that, I was as gay as lark, but it stood like a great cloud me and sun,:’ “ a few disoon- make your . ait 3 y wy was the cloud ; envy, that glogmigst '48/"" .

Proceed to the chamber of the man whose good fortune thou enviest; then to thine own, and if thou art not satisfied with thy condition, seek me again, and meet with thy reward. Away !” As if by magic, the brilriant assembly dir- persed like clouds of gold dust floating on the wind, and Corney was left alone ‘* That’s a mighty high sort o’ chap,’ said Corney, “but [ suppose I'd better do whet ho told me for fear be Ton spiteful.” So Corney wished himself within the eham- ber of Biake, and there he saw the most pite- ous sight earth can produce; a young mother weeping tears of agony over her first boron. A man stood beside her with res set and hard, as though turned to stone by hopeless grief. “My God,” thought Corney, “and these aro the people whose lot I have envied. and my own blue eyed darling, is he safe? Home, home, cried he ani with the wish was there. In his little cradle lay the l boy «i in the angel watched, the holy sleep of talent innocence, while Mary, on her knees, mingled her prayer for her absent husband. Corney was rushing towards her, but suddenly re- membering himself: “What a fool I am,” thought he, “I forgot I was a sperrit, at all events, I can kiss the baby.” With that he bounded into the cradle, and nestied on the boy's lip. Mary, soeing the child smile in bis sleep, exclaimed: “ Good angels are cme | sweet thoughts into your head my hi o babe,”’ and she softly kissed him too. ‘Qh! murther,”’ thought Corney, ‘ this will never do; I must go and look after my body end bringithome Thanks to the good fairies, I’ve learned a lesson that shall last my life and my boy’s too, if I have any influ- ence over him ” So saying. Corney wished himself in the meadow where his tangible proportions were extended, and having kicked and got in, shook himself carefully to see if he had obtained ab- solute possession id he, “I’ve coms ~ It's all right,” back ’’ Looking up around him, he was surprised to see the bright sunlight of morn- ing, and still more so to observe Mary trudg- ing through the churchyard to meet him “Ob, well,’ caid Mary anxiously, when they encountered, *‘ what luck?” ‘A power of knowledge, but no money,” said Corney, eententiously. Ratner Ostivrovs.—At a revival exvcite- ment, in Connecticut, a respectable old tady was struck with conviction, second a@convert, and was proposed for membership of the church. There wae a meeting held he exam- ining the candidates, of whom there were sev- eral in attendance “Well, my dear sister Rogers,’’ said the Rev examiner, addressing our venerable friend, ‘‘ please relate your ex- perience ’’ Theold lady, on being thus ad- dressed, lifted up her voice ** Well,” said she, ‘‘I don’t know what to say, as I told my husband Mr Rogers, before I came here; but I believo I have experienced a change, as I tola Mr Rogers, my husband, after I came home from meeting, when 1 besame oon- vinced that I was the most sinful creature in the world. as I told my husband, Mr Roger: and says he, ‘‘ I think s0.”’ Then I told Mr. Rogers, my bueband, that I was going to lead a different life I was going to trimmy lamp, and have it burning agin the eee gee come Then Mr Rogers, my husband, said he didn’t know what I wanted of another, but be made no objection Then I told Mr. Rogers, my husband, that I would join the church, and prepare myself for the place where the worm dieth not and the fire is not quenched ; and my husband, Mr. Rogers, told ms he thought I'd better.” The good old lady stopped, and the minister. turning to Mr Rogers, her husband, said, ‘Well, my brother, this seems to be as it should be, well cousid- ered among yourselves; you have given it fall thought, and now I should like for you to tell us what you please in regard to your wite’s change.’ “i've been hearing it sir, but it’s news tome ’’ He; jence, ho ever, admitted without the endorser, and she was taken in.
