SEASONABLE STORY.

If the north-east wind blow on this day, or on any other day in May, or

in any other summer month, the nervous reader will experience the

uneasiness which is sure to afflict him from that baleful quarter. The

sun may shine, and the birds may sing, and flowers may give forth their

odours, yet pernicious influences prevail against the natural harmony

and spirit of the season. To one, therefore, so afflicted, the story of

Daniel O’Rourke, from the “Fairy Legends,” may be diverting.
