The JOURNAL, too, sues for "forgive-

smith, shoemaker or carpenter would
allow himself to be forgiven, especially
if, in addition to his work, he furniSht d

THE ORIGIN OF FAIRIES.
Many Legends Connected With Their
Existence

Many Legends Connected With Their
Existence.
The fairies are considered by arch
biologists as the heirs and descendants
of the inferior pagan divinities, good
and evil. The demi-gods and demons
were reduced to this condition when
heathenism was outwardly brought
to an end. However, the popular be-
lief is that the fairies were those
angels who, at Lucifer's revolt did
not openly join him, but felt kind of
sympathy with his wicked aspirations.
When the rebel angels were precipi-
tated into he'll these cowardly spirits
fell no farther than the earth,
on which they are to remain
till the day of judgment, I'M
certain during the whole time
whether they are to be pardoned
or condemned. The Irish fairies are
the spirits of the Daanan Druid chiefs,
who after their death took possession
of the chief subterranean caves
throughout the kingdom, and con-
tinued, according to their good or evil
dispositions, to succor or iniure the
descendants of the Milesians, by
whom they had been dispossessed.
