Patience iu HI a trim any.
A youth and maid one wintry night,
Were sitting in the corner;
Ilis name, we're told, was Jo-hua White,
And her’* was Patience Warner.
Not much the pretty maiden said,
Beside the young man sitting ;
Her cheeks were flushed a rosy red,
Her eyes bent on her knitting.
Nor could be guess what thoughts of him
Were to her bosom flocking,
As her fingers, swift and slim
Flew round and round tho stocking.
While, as for Joshua, bashful youth,
His words grew few and fewer;
Though all the time to tell tho truth,
llis chair edged closer to her.
Meantime her ball of yarn gave out,
She knit so fast and steady
And he must give his aid, no doubt
To get another ready.
He held the skein; of course the threat
Got tangled, sparled and twisted ;
“Have patience!” ciiel the artless maid,
To him who her assisted.
Good chance was this for tongue tied churl
To shorten all palaver;
“Have patience!” cried he; “dearest girl,
And may 1 really have her ?”
The deed was done; no more the night,
Clicked needles in the corner,
And she i* Mrs. Joshua White,
Who once was Patience Warner.

FAIRY LORE
A Chapter on Popular Superstitions.
BY EMMA UARDIXGE.
Popular Superstition—We all, more or
less, appreciate the meaning of these words,
but who can say whence their origin was
derived ? Where do popular or any other
superstitions come from ! This is a ques
tion, which, with all the worlds’ wisdom,
remains vet unsolved, and until tome cun- i
nipt* metaphysician shall demonstrate ko us, I
that the human mind can originate or abso,
lately create ideas—“imagination, ideali- j
ty, illusion and hallucination” will hut re- j
present so many lenses through which cer- |
tain minds view, (it may be'in a distorted
state) certain existing phenomena. Unless,
(1 repeat it,) the mind itself is creative, and,
forms the substance from which these shad
owy phantoms tiro reflected, somewhere in
Ixung, we must look for their origination.
I am not, now, about to argue the question
of the mind’s capacity to originate any sin
gle idea. I only assume that we cannot in
fer from any past observations on mental j
phenomena, that their possibility has eve j
been exhibited. What latest germs the In- \
finite spirit may yet disclose tbe great Fore j
Kuower alone can say. Up to this point in 1
human history, the faculty of imitation, and J
at mos.t, the capacity to improve, is the ut- !
most, in the machinery of Being that the ]
mind can lay claim to. Where then can
the phantoms have sprung from, that in ail \
ages have peopled the world of Supernatur- j
alism, if not in erratic apparitions, which |
humanity, from time to time, has obtained
of aworld of spirits, interpenetrating the
atmosphere of earth and revealing its prox- |
irnity in obedience to the same favorable
conditions which produces, at certain periods
only various atmospheric and mcteorologir
cal phenoni na.
We are sustained in this view by an ob
servation of the close relation which the
world of Spiritualism bears to the scenes,
circumstances, opinions and customs of the
special people amongst whom the phantom
world moves.
shall confine my illustrations on this
point, in this paper, to my own country,
where it is well known, popular supersti
tions are so rife, that the English must eith
er be the most inventive people on the
face of the earth, or the subjects of a wide
spread and universal series of spirit mani
festations. If it be conceded that the vast
field of “Fairy Lore” which England so
fantastically interweaves with her literature,
especially her poetry, her nursery rhymes
artistic fancies and traditions, be all trans
p’anted from the East, it only removes th e
cause from one land to the other and does
not attempt to account for the Anglo-Sax
on dress, in which we find the Persian Ge
nii and Arabian myths.
How essentially English, for instance, is
the Fairy, with its moonlight proclivities,
is robe of emerald green, and its mystic
ring, stampsd, as legends tell ns, on every
hearth and moor, doll and dingle of tbe ru
ral districts of England, by the boating of
its tiny foot prints on the dewy grtiss. The
Bambshee of Zealand, the second-sight of
Scotland, the green, red, blue, gray and
white women of Wales and the Xorth of
England, with a host of many colored and
multiform shapes and fantastics constituting
a world of lore that stamps itself with an
identity purely British. We shall select
from amongst these fragments of history,
one of the most popular as well as local of
those traditionary beings for the subject of
this paper, to-wit:
Tin* ICrouaic,
A perso r.ago, surjosed to have a specia
predilection for dairies, farm houses, rural
districts and domestic scenes—an unearthly
busy body, who in a singlo night has been
found to perform more work than six hands,
in as many hours—milking cows and goats,
adlibitum, working churns and manufactur
ing superior butter and cheese, with unheard
of rapidity, occasionally filling nicely scour
ed dairy vessels with choice fruits or small
gifts, and testifying disgust at the want of
cleanliness in such details, by upsetting
whole cans of milk, turning them sour, or
churning them up into mud cheeses or san
dy butter. When the poor toiling house
wife finds the cottage floor nicely swept, or
the fractious baby’s cradle tenderly rocked,
or little domestic duties, overlooked on the
weary evening, before, performed by invisi
ble hands in the silent hours of night, she
courtesies with timid reverential gratitude
to the viewless air, tells her neighbors that
f the good Brownie has been there, and takes
•extra pains with her household in future.
It is not uncommon to hear countrymen
declare that a whole field of hay has been
mysteriously stacked in a single night, and
many a poor, deerepid old laborer “Bible
oaths,” that the stately grey ploughman,
whom he saw in the gloaming of the even
ing hovering over the half finished field, has
done in tho still hours of night, work, which
he e*uld not have accomplished in many
days.
The “Brownie” is both male and female,
and according to the goodness of the parly
or parties whose premises are the scene of
its operations, so does it work mischief or
not. In a word, it is a species of rustic fai
ry, who keeps surveillance over rural vice
and virtue, and administers, in its own whim
sical fashion, rewards and penalties for the
same.
I cannot learn the exact period at which
his superstition became a fixed idea, un
der the “Brownie” nomenclature, but I can
ascertain thsil sometime in tbe reign of Hen
ry the 7th ot England, great excitement pre
vailed in one of the southern shires, in codsc
qucnce of the double murders of a young
farmer and his betrothed, a village maiden
of singular beauty. The cause of the crime
was supposed to be jealousy on the part of a
wealthy rival, who though tried for the of
fence and by tho voice of public opinion
unanimously convicted, was nevertheless
(according to that custom which absolves
kings of wrong, and calls “killing no mur
der,” when perpetrated by the rich and
powerful) suffered to go free.
The injured shades of murdered people, in
ancient times, went to the spirit world,
pretty much as they do now, with all their
earthly prejudices and opinions “thick
upon them.” Amongst these was the opin
ion that blood csyi only be atoned for by
blood. Now it seems, whilst ancients and
moderns alike concur in tbe opinion that a
poor rogue, when he kills a fellow creature
has committed a murder and must be hang
ed, while a rich one only avenges his honor
or acts out his honor , and must be pitied
and acquitted forthwith, yet the spirits,
somehow, arc too obtuse to make this dis
tinction, and in ancient time, demanded, in
atonement for their own wasted lives, riel)
blood and poor bloojl alike, just as pertina
ciously as they now insist upon the folly
and wrong of murdering any one, rich or
poor, whether in the name of justice or law,
honor, patriotism or fame. And thus it
was that the two murdered inhabitants of
that great democracy, spirit world, to whom
we have just alluded, wero supposed to thirst
for vengeance on their murderer, and being
educated in the earth sphere and the rude
middle ages into a bplief that tho only atone
ment for an illegal murder was to commit a
egal one, thus were generally supposed to
be in a singular state of unrest, and to man
ifest the same by haunting the rural district
in which they had been deprived of life.—
To mark however, their sense of the retribu
tive spirit, in which they came, as well as in
preservation of their characteristic identity,
the male spirit’s manifestations were of a
strictly agricultural character, while the
damsel sprite confined her evidences of pow
er and resentment to the dairy.
The fields and homestead of tho murder
er, says the legend, were at tho first, the
chief scene of the ghostly operations, and
inconceivable was the terror and mischief
which resulted therefrom, but as if to mark
their condition of humanity and sympathy
with earth, the apparitions paid frequent
visits to neighboring friends, or specially
to the good and industrious amongat their
former acquaintances, in whose behalf they
wrought as many little acU of service, as
would balance against the malicious tricks
with which they visited the evil doors.
As the genrrat*on of tho murderer grad
ually passed away the manitestatioas of the
victim spirits, in all probability decreased in
force and frequently, but the traditions con
cerning them gained from the lips of inar
vel-loving narrators whatever they lost in
fact. One thing, however, is certain. The
tales reputed of these ghostly rustics, tally
every respect, with the characteristics of
tho “Brownie,” and us the parallel is com
plete in this case may it not be so in others ?
May not the causes of the whole fable bo
traceable to the visitations of those spirits
whose dissipated magnetism or oil of life,
wasted in its prime and vigor, bv violent
death, adheres to tho locality where it has
been effused, and forms a medium, through
which, so long as its own earthly forces re
main, tbe spirit can not only communicate,
but is absolutely drawn by magnetic attrac
tion.
I have almost invariably noticed that the
localities “obsessed” or “haunted” by the
“Brownie” have once been the scene of
some violent death, a fact which has occas
ioned the wise ones to say that the associa
tions connected with certain spots, famous
for such tragedies, conjure up, that is to
say, create the appearances or illusion or
gratuitous story, iu question.
There’s still another explanation of these
things, open to the candid mind of the truth
seeker, and this may be drawn from the re
marks offered above. Thus, while 1 believe
that the character of the “Brownie” is but
a stereotyped superstition, I attribute its
origin either to the real circumstance I have
mentioned or similar ones, wherein the
spirit of deceased persons re-appearing on
the scene of their earthly prilgrimage through
certain conditions very often formed out of
the phenomena attending a violent death,
are viewed through the terror-flecked glass
of fear, ignorance and superstition, until
horns hoof and tail projected from the theo
logical fables which have surrounded the
grave with an atmosphere of horror, have
actually grown out of the apparation of a
respectable elderly spirit, whose custom ft
was, in earth life to attire himself in black
and who for some peculiarity either in his
human organization, his mode of death, or
the presence of media, was occasionally
found in in such conditions as made his ap
pearance visible-
In succeeding papers, I may, perhaps,
offer aorne future illustrations of to posi
tion from the even open and boundless
fields of supernatural or natural, (as the
case may prove) interest to be formed in
“Fairy Lore.” E. H.
The Adventures of J, Morton Meg
gins.
The widow Prim was one of those
delightful smiling ladies, who love
to keep up a reputation for benevo
lence and all kinds of Christian char
ity, at us small a material outlay as
possible. She was in fact an artiste
in that peculiar line, being giflted
with the extraordinary talent of ma
king a Guliverian display on a Lili
putian capital. Whether a Fair was
to be gotten up, whether for the pur
pose of providing the South Sea is
landers with flannel jackets or the
Lapland ladies with fans and hooped
skirts, she was always on hand. Os
the committee on ways and means
she generally managed to be chair
man—we use the word chairman ad
visedly —chairwoman would be vul
gar, and chairlady has by no means
the proper sound. (No ordinary mor
tal can imagine the pleasure it afford
ed her to dilate on the beauties of
eharity when persuading the landlord
to furnish the room selected, free of
rent or the president of the Gas com
pany to supply light for the occasion
on the same liberal terms. And not
unfrequently was she successful in
her negotiations. She had a rare
talent for bamboozling wise mascu
lines into doing of deeds wholly for
eign to their intent and inclination.
About the time that Muggins be
gan to board at the widow's a great 1
moral question was agitating the en- ■
tire community, touching the heath- j
enism of the Turks, and the necess- j
ity of teaching them to pay a more
enlightened regard to the laws of ;
physiology and the true dignity of
woman. The widow, though by no
means an advocate for woman’s
rights, according to the stern borean
sense of the phrase, had yet a few
refined, fantastic, fashionable ideas
on the subject, which in her mind re
duced man from his elevated pedes
tal of lordly superiority and placed
him in a position of vassalage to the
queenly graces of the gentler sex.—
She could not bear to think of man
as lord and master even of a single
woman, how much more terrible
therefore, was the idea that a turban
ed Turk should exercise husbandly
privileges over a dozen, a score ora
hundred wives ! The thought was j
monstrous ! She and Mrs. Piety :
talked it all over one day, socially, j
morally, religiously and esthctieally, j
and Mrs. Prim went so far as to give ;
it as her opinion that if cither sex
should be favored with unusual prjv j
leges it should be that to which she j
belonged, for as she prettily express
ed it “ a woman has a more per- i
tinent and potential right to have a
dozen husbands than a man has to
have a dozen wives. *
Mrs. Piety sipdied, and observed
that “one good religious helpmate!
was as much as should fall to the lot
of either man or woman.
“Os course it is,” chimed in the widow;
“you must not understand that I am in
any respect inclined to be polygamous,
yet the unerring laws of nature clearly
indicate, by the fact that more males than
females are born, that woman should
have a plurality of husbands rather than
man a plurality of wives. No other
reasonable interpretation can be given
co that great fact in nature.”
The impressive and authorative man
ner in which -the widow enforced her
philosophic inference subdued all oppo
sition and obtained a tacit acquiescence
from the pious Mrs. Piety.
The widow then suggested the proprie
ty of getting up a Fair forthwith, to
procure funds for the civilization of
“Turkey and the Turks,” and Mrs. Pie
ty, persuaded that the object was at once
religious and humane, gave to the scheme
her heartiest approval. It was there
fore settled, and the Fair became a fixed
prospective fact.
As soon as Mrs. Piety left, the wid
ow put on her shawl and bonnet, and trip
ping gaily past Printing House square
met an editorial friend who was equally
famed for the brilliancy of his paragraphs
and the susceptibility of his heart. lie
was all gallantry, and the widow all
smiles, and when she told him of the
contemplated Fair for the civilization of
the Turks he sagely remarked (though
doubtless laughing all the while in his
sleeve) that it was “one of the noblest
undertakings which had ever engaged
the attention of female philanthropy,”
and promised to call public attention to
the subject next morning in the Daily
Ilighfaiuten.
The widow was, of course, profuse in
her thanks, and when she and the editor
parted the dial plate of each was bright
ened by the sunlight ot a smile.
Next morning the widow had the
Ilighfaiuten brought to her bedroom,
when she had the pleasure of reading
the following to her hair dresser :
“A Noble Work,”
“It affords us unspeakble pleasure to
announce that the ladies of this city, ever
foremost in #very good work, intend
shortly to open a Fair for an object
which will doubtless enlist the sympa
thies and active benevolence of every
true man in the community. It might
perhaps, be premature to particularize
at present, the project being as yet not
fully matured; but when it is under
stood that the charming and noble mind
ed madam P*** is one of the principal
projectors of this truly Christian under
taking, and that she is aided by a host of
pious and generous ladies of the highest
standing in this refined and respectable
community, no doubt can be entertained
touching the propriety of the movement.
It will be no breach of confidence in us
to state that if the sanguine expectations
of Madam P*** and her gentle and gen
erous friends are realized, a foul stain
will be wiped away from the escutcheon
of our common humanity and one of the
dark places of the earth will be elevat
ed in the scale of refinement and civili
zation. We trust that the holy efforts
of those good ladies will not be made in
vain.”
“There now,” said the widow, when
she had finished the paragraph. “ that’s
something like. Air. Spreaditon knows
how to do it. ‘Madam P***,’ —every
body will know r I am the lady meant. —
The charming and nobleminded Aladam
Prim !’ doesn’t that sound pretty ? We
shall have the Fair; I’m determined on
it; and I’ll send a pitcher of champagne
punch to Air. Spreaditon the very first
night we open. 1 know how prettily he’ll
acknowledge such a compliment from
‘the charming and noble-minded Aladam
Prim !’
That morning the widow dressed hen
self “to kill,” as Chloe, the chamber
maid, coarsely expressed it, and at break
fast she broached the subject of the Fair.
Her description of the indignities to
which the ladies of Turkey are obliged
to submit from their bearded masters
was touching in the extreme, and when
she concluded by asking Air. Empty head
how much he would contribute towards
furnishing her table, she was answered
after the manner of the Emptyheads:
“When so charming an advocate
pleads a humane cause so eloquently no
gentleman can put his name down for
less than —$200!
The widow thanked him in her most
cordial manner, and putting the ques
tion to the rest of her boarders received
sums varying from five to fifty dollars,
except in the case of Muggins, from
whom she positively declined to receive
less than a cool hundred, and the unfor
tunate love-born countryman was oblig
ed to submit to her demand. “She
would not be so bold,” she said, “in ask
ing anything for herself, but in pleading
the holy cause ot humanity she was not
ashamed to be a beggar.”
In this manner the widow proceeded
among her friends, and the other mem
bers of the self-organized Fair commit
tee proceeded among theirs, until they
got the use of Armory Hall rent-fre
for a week, with gas, and bountifully sup
plied tables, rich in all the articles which
usually figure at a Fair, all without mon
ey and without price. The plan of op
eration, as soon as the money was ob
tained, was generally after this fashion,
as far as the widow was concerned. She
would first decorate her person to the
captivating point, and then take a pleas
ant little tour among the fancy and va
riety stores obtaining dotations, where
ever that was practicable, and putting
down the highest price of each article re- i
ligiously in her memorandum book.—
Whenever a sufficiency was obtained in j
this manner to make a respectable show
for her table, not omitting brandy and
champagne for her punch bowls, which
were to be drained in the sacred cause of
charity, at twenty-five cents per glass, |
she would deduct their full value from
the amount of money donations, charge
the sum to the supply bill and transfer
filthy lucre from her charity purse to
her private porteinonnaie ! In this way
every Fair helped materially to defray
such item3 of personal expenditure as
point lace, sleeves and collars, moire an
tique dresses, fifty dollar bonnets, and
other amiable extravagances of that char
acter.
But it will not do to dwell too long on
preliminaries. The evening for the open
ing of the Fair, we will suppose has ar
rived ; a band of music is in attendance :
a banner is stretched across the street in
front of Armory Hall, and a transparen
cy is before the door, on both sides of
which are inscribed, in showy :
“FAIR,
For the benefit of Humanity ;
The Civilization of the Turks ;
And the Elevation of Woman 1”
Tickets Twenty five cents.
“Twenty-five cents to get in, but how
much to get out ?” queried Aluggins, as
he walked up the steps with the widow
Prim, who by the way appeared to have
taken quite a fancy to him, for of all ec
centric things in this world the likes and
dislikes of a widow are the most eccen
trie.
“What Air. Econome, I hope you’re
not beginning to calculate the cost al
ready. Never mind your purse, for you
know that the immortal bard imitates
that at best it is but trash. Let me see —
“’Twas mine, ’tis his; it hath been
slave to thousands.” 1 believe that’s
the way the quotation runs. We must
go and see that play some night, Air.
Muggins. But in the mean time let me
warn you to beware of your heart.—
You will meet a terrible battery of
bright eyes as soon as you enter, so take
care!” And the widow smiled one of
her most benignant smiles.
When he entered, J. Alorton Muggins
was fairly bewildered. He had a kind,
charitable look which recommended him
to the insinuating salewomen at the dif
ferent tables. Os every bowl of punch
he was invited to psrtake; at every lot
tery or raffle he had to take at least one
chance, and in paying for his chances he
found that he never could get back any
thing in the way of change. A half ea
gle or five dollar bill would only pass
current with the lovely merchants for a
fifth of its value; but then the gentle
creatures were so charming,spoke for the
sacred cause so feelingly, and pocketed
the money and withheld the change with
such an air of elegance that no one but
a brute could complain of them. In fact
they proved themselves to be pretty
swindlers, but who shall say that it not
a pious duty to swindle in the cause of
virtue!
The full purse which Muggins carried
in with him was sadly depleted before
he left, and the spoils which he carried
away in the form of purchases or piizes
are embraced in the following list.
Doll, three inches long, value 50c. raff
led at 812 00.
Pincushion, value 75c, raffled at sl4.
NUMBER 44.
Shawl, valne §25, disposed of in a
lottery at SIOO.
Twenty punches for self and friends,
value questionable, cost under the non
change system, S2O.
Six letters, addressed to J. Morton
Muggins, Esq., postage $1 each, cost up
der the non-change system, $lO.
These were his prizes, and of the
blanks, which were twenty times more
numerous, it is unnecessary to give a cat
alogue. in short,the expenditures of Mr.
Muggins for the evening were $175 and
h ; s receipts about $27, allowing the
shawl to be worth $25, the ticket for
which by the way, he presented to his
charming landlady before the drawing.
Next morning Muggins began to re
flecton theunsubstantial character of com
when converted into money. If he had
kept the corn at home, he would still
have corn, but as soon as he brought it
to market and converted it into golden
eagles, they took unto themselves wings
and flew away. Os the adventure which
had cost his father and himself so much
of toil but fifty dollars now remained,
and he began to feel like the prodigal son
who wandered so far away from home
and wasted his substance in riotous liv
ing. He blushed for himself when he
thought how foolishly he had acted—
how wasteful he had been—and he re
solved never .to return home unless he
could do so with the proud consciousness
of a man who has honestly earned mon
ey in his purse!
The Study of Man.
“The proper study of mankind is
man,” is a saying pregnant with
meaning and continually quoted, the
repeaters of it evidently being gen
-1 erally of opinion that in “this age of
progress,” men who pretended to
study at all generally are studying
man—but is such the case ? We
believe not. Since the modern and
just theory of the relative position
and proper motions of the heavenly
bodies were propounded—drawing
the eyes of all intelligent men to the
mechanism of the skies—investiga
tion and study have been turned
from man to external nature, pon
derables and imponderables chemical
properties and mechanical forces
have absorbed inquiry, and richly
lias the labor been repaid. Hut this
investigation was not the study of
man; it was, however, a necessary
requisite to that study, for before
the more m3 r sterious elements of
man’s nature could be accurately
scrutinized, it was necessary that his
surroundings should be well known,
so that the ego and the non-ego, that
which belongs to man,
and that which is external to and
! distinct from him, might be w’ell
| known und accurately discriminated.
As we intimated in a former article,
there can remain but few such great
j and striking discoveries t 6 be made
; in physical science, as many that
have astounded the world since the
latter portion of the last century.—
From astronomy, we can expect few
more such revelations as the discov
eries of planets, sattelites, asteroids,
and the resolution of nebulce. Geo
graphy is on the point of giving up
its last great secrets —the polar basin
and the interior of Africa. Chemis
try may yet havewonders in resere,v
and geology has strange truths yet
in store ; but generally man’s inves
tigations in the physical world will
for the future be circumscribed to
the examination of details, and to
the investigation of known but un
accounted for phenomena. When
this is felt to be the case, physical
science, becoming less dazzling, will
fail to monopolize genius and talent,
and then man—the only being on
the earth that can thus scan nature
and force from her bosom strange
revelations —will become the study
of mankind, and mankind will awak
en to the fact that if this world and
those beyond it are wonderful, the
being that can grasp them in his
mind, investigate the laws of their
! motions, weigh their substance, fore
tell with unerring- accuracy their
changing phenomena, must be more
wonderful still.
Many who read these lines will
doubtless say to themselves : Man
is and has been studied ; the anato
mist has dissected every nerve, vein,
artery, muscle, tissue and bone in
his body; the physiologist has inves
tigated the nature of the whole hu
man organization, and ascertained,
to a great extent, how every portion
of it acts and is acted upon. This
is true, and the discoveries made and
| the knowledge obtained are of infi
i nite value as bases for the study of
1 man par excellence. The anatomist
and the physiologist have not, how
ever, studied the man, but the animal
—the bird, the fish, the reptile, and
the quadruped, have been as useful
to them in their investigations as
the human body. They have not
studied man, but they have prepar
ed the way for the study. They
have not entered the mysterious
temple, but they have discovered
where its entrance lies.
The metaphysician has sought to
peer into that temple; strange glimp
j ses of truth have caught his eyes,
j an d intimations of unsuspected tacts
have dimly shaded themselves before
I i,i m but the result of his studies is
little more than words, words strang
ely mystified, labarynthine and enig
matic. The metaphysician has de
fined difficulties, not explained them ;
he has stated the question, not amen
ded it.
When the metaphysician adds to
his powers of subtle mental analysis
a profound and accurate knowledge
of the facts ascertained by the ana
tomist and the physiologist; when
he becomes a patient and industrious
