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. i-HkiCcllmu). 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
