THE BLIND EYE.


Airs. Mcpherson was a very important
parsonage in the townland of Crohanroe,
having something TO do with the exit of
her neighbors from this troublous life,
but still more with their entrance into
ii; in short, she was the sage femme of
the entire district Her duties, there
fore, took her to every wake and
christening in the country, after she had
attended the dcath-bed and dressed the
dead, or received and welcomed the
newborn. She spent few nights at
home in her lonely cabin by the road
side. where there were none to bear her
company. for she WAS childless widow
The tUwnland was very extensive; il
embraced tract of well cultivated
country, a. well rs wild region stretch
ing up into the Donegal mountains.
Crohanroe took its name from a rocky
piece Of land where furze bushes and
blocks of granite sbounded. The high
road lay between this picturesque wilder
mes, and Mrs. McPherson's cottage, and
no other human habitation was in sight.
Somewhat lonely felt the good woman
one afternoon after returning from Matt
0'Donoghue's funeral, where, out of re-
speet 10 the family, she had keened her
self quite hoarse.
She was having recourse 10 her short,
black pipe for comfort, when steps We're
heard at the door, and, glad to welcome
neighbor in her solitude, she looked
round hriskly.
A stranger entered a man apparent

dressed in the long-tailed coat. knee
breeches, and blue Stockings then worn
b. the peasantry.
