Irish Visions.

Tt was the experience of a Northern
farmer. The road was long and lonely
that led to the market town. and he
had to be up betimes to catch the early
market. With his stout thorn stick
in his hand he set out in the dark
ness from his home. He knew his road
we'll, but as he passed on he was aware
of company, of hurrying crowds, and
they did not seem to lessen but rather
increase, till suddenly he found himself
entering a village street where village
there never had been any. The crowds
seemed unwilling of his presence, and
all pursued their business with the
greatest activity. But as he passed
along the street his stick was quickly
snatched from him, and in a moment
the vision was gone, "as the baseless
fabric of a dream"
He looked on every side, but moth
ing could he see. The darkness only
thickened as the mist hung close upon
the desolate wayside. What could it
all mean? And as he thought of the
strange occurrence he remembered how
he had cut a branch the day before
from the old thorn tree in spite of an
old mans warning that he should not
meddle with fairy thorn. So the lit
tie people had claimed and taken back
their own again. Such was the story
as my father told it to me long ago
in the black north. And still when 1
go along the old familiar roads I see
here and there, growing perhaps in the
midst of some cultivated field, old,
weather worn, storm beaten thorn trees,
and if a peasant is asked, "Why is that
old useless tree left there?" he will
answer, That is a fairy thorn" and
he thinks the answer suff1cient.-Cor-
respondence London Spectator.

that the fellow had him covered with

as they sa the gun. The man was not

Why Kern County Property is Not

that owing TO the distance separating
