Whitsuiitid® has always been considered by U11 Irish as a very fatal and unlucky time— for the taopk hold that fairies awl evil spirits have then greet ■ power over men and cattle, both by - 'ft and land, and work llteir deadly apt lis with tttaligw and mysterious efficacy. Children bum at Whitsuntide, it is raid, are foredoomed; they will eiUier have the evil eye, or commit a etui dor. or die a violent death. Water, also, U very dangerous; no'ono should Unite, or go a being drowned, unless. Indeed, n briilc stocrs. and then tho boat is oafe from harm. Great precautions arc necessary, likewise, within the house; and no ono should venture to light u eandlo without making tho sign of tlio croes over the flame to keep olf evil; and young men should be very cautious not to be out late at night, for all the dead who have been drowned In the sea round about come up and ride over tho waves on white homes, and bold strange revels, and try to carry oil the young men or to kill them with their liery darts and draw them down under • more. A story is told of a man named Murrey, who stayed out into fishing one' Whitsuntide, quite forgetting it was tho night nf tho death ride. But at last lie ncered tbe shoro and drew un his boat to onload tho fish and then rnako Ms way homo with all speed. Just at tho moment, however, he beard a great rush of tho waves behind him, and looking round ho saw a crowd of the dead on their white horses making over to the boat to scire him; and Their faces were ' palo as the fnco of a corpse, but their eyes burned like Are. And they stretched oat their long skeleton arms to try and .lay hold of him, but ho sprang ot once from the boat to tho shore, and then lie knew be was safe, though ono of them rode over close to him by tho edge of the rocks, and ho knew him as n friend ot his own, who had been drowned . tho year before; and he heard the voice of tho dead man calling to him through tbe rush of the water, saying; "Hasten 'hasten to your home, for the dead who are with mo want you for their comyou, there is no help, you ore lost fore ever. Hasten, or you will never sec your homo again, but bo with tho dead forever." Then Murrey knew that tho •spirit spoke tho truth, and ho left tho boat and the fish on tho beach and fled away home, and never looked bock at the dead on tlioir white horses, for his ■I heart was filled with fear. And never ' again did ho go out to fish at Whitsunt tide, though the dead waited for him to r scire him, but ho enrao not, and lived henceforth safe from harm. At this season, also, tho fairy queens make great c efforts to carry off the lino stalwart • yotmg men of tho country to tho fairy palace in the cleft of tho hills, or to lure I, they are lulled Into dreuBB by tho sweet, n subtle fairy music, and forget ltomo and I. kith and kindred, mid never desire to return again to their own people, or even It the spell is broken, and they are brought buck by some strong bifatua- ' tion, yet they are never tho same; for 0 every one knows by the (Veam look In their eye a that tliey havo danced with tho fairies on tho hill, and been loved by 1 one of tbe beautiful but fatal race, who. > when they take a fancy to a handsome mortal lover, cast their spells over him I A rase of this kind happened some years ago.in the county Weif urd. Two brothers, fine young fellows of tbe farming 'In Whitsuntide from their day's holiday, when, to tliclr surprise, as they creased a broad, beautiful field, lit up by tbe red rays of thu setting sun, they saw a group of girls dancing, and they wenall draped In white, and their long hair fall flnuiinff over their shoulders. So , lovely was tho sight that tho young men could not choose but stop and watch the I, dancers; yet, strange to aav, they weraall strangers; not a familiar fgoe was among them from tho whole country round. " And as they looked and wondered, ono of tbe girls loft tho dance, end. coming over to the younger brother, laid her hand on his arm, whllo she murmured softly In Ids par: "pome, ilanou with me, Brian. . J havo sraitod long for you. Come, comer and she drew him gently away. ' Then Brian flung down his stick on tho ground, and taking her hand, they were soon whirling away in tho dance, tho ' handsomest jaur that over trod a i long they danced, Stfll tlio red light paired away, and tlio darkness began to cover the hills, but still they danced on and on. for Brian heeded nothing ' save tho young girl with ber long hair floating cn his shoulder and tlio fire c/ whose eyre burned Into his hearr. At lire the elder brother called |o him: ■ "Brian, pome home; leave the dance; [ the mother will be walling for o»r ; "Not yet, not yet," answered Brian; "I i must finish this round, leave mo and ! I will follow you." 80 the elder brother ; left, and lie and tho mother watched • and waited till midnight for Brian's return, but bo never came. Then, the next ; morning, tho brother prpnt to pee about ■ blip,, searching everywhere, though in ! vain. And all that day to sunset and - tho night ho searched, still no tiflhigs (. could be had. No one had seeu him In the dance, nor the yotmg girls with tho whitcdrcsv* ar.-lth-fliatinchair.th-v.ig!. when tbe neighbors heard the story they t looked vary solemn and said there was . no help for tho doomed young man, for tho fairy posvcT was strong at Whitsuntide, and no doubt they bad carried hlin down under tbe earth to the fairy pabw . end h« would never, never cotno lack to | hb home again. , When Whitsuntide came round the - i older brother set out on his search, and • I Omre, sure eSwugh, in the very raiae 4 ! green field, with the nj sutw t strnmi1 fx "'"if g'ri* •" I of tho fairy pipe--: and in tlio midst was Brian, dancing with his fairy bride, and her bag ydk-w hob- floated over hi. &*** «"! brr tts tsnw* «*> "•

' Come swav. before tho darknere falls and the night cumea on," "Not yet, not jot," , answered Brian; "1 mutt finish this 1 dance" And tho fairy bride wound her I beautiful while arms round lam and j held him fast So the brother loot heart, J for bo feared to enter tlio circle lret tho j enchantment should fall on him; and he ! went back homo to toll of his failure. Then tlio molhrn.roao up. and taking 1 tlio charm which the fairy man had given j 1 her, alio hung It round her neck and went j forth to . look for tlio missing son. And | ! at last she came to tlio field and saw liim j dancing, and tbsncing like mad with tho witch girl in bin arms ; and she called to [ him: "Come back, conic back to us, Brian, darling; come txmk; it is your ' mother calls." But BriaJ danced on and J on, and never looked at her nor heeded brave, alio went over in tho very midst of tlio fairy dancers with their glittering ' eyes, and taking tho spell from her neck, sho flung it over Brian, and clasping Ilia 1 arm laid her head down on his shoulder, weeping bitterly.
