It is a place that is always beautiful, whether we see it in the first fresh greenness of spring or in the full flush of summer ; but especially beautiful is it in the waning days of autumn, when the dark wood of Dreva on the one side of theriver stands out in sombre contrast to the many -colored groves of Dawy.:k on the other, where the yellows and browns and bronzes of fading foliage mass themselves in picturesque re- Iation to the darker tints of the solemn pines. It seems at first sight singular that a Wizard who is especially claimed as belong- ing to the Kymrie or Welsh branch of the Celts should be so associated with the south of Scotland. But Merlin, like Arthur, be- longs not so much to a district as to a race. And we must bear in mind that THIRTEEN lIENDItED YEARS AGO the distribution of the population in Britain was different, as regards races, from what it is now. Arthur is called the king of the Dumnonians ; but there were two races in Britain so called. One occupied the south-western peninsula of Britain now known as Cornwall ; the other occupied the ofthemiddle Lowlands of greater portion d at we now call Scotland. That the peo- ple of these two far -divided territories were of the same great family of Celts is obvious from the place-names that still exist on the Borders-Traquair, Trahenna, Polwarth, Penvalla, and many others that closely resemble names in Cornwall; as likewise from such river -names as the Tweed, the Teviot, and the Timah, all of which have analogues in W,a,les. The Cornish, like the Gaelic tongue, is regarded by philologists as an older form of Celtic than the Welsh ; and the fact that we find navies in the south of Scotland that resemble names both in Corn- wall and in Woles, may be regarded as supporting the theory that it was the older or Gaelic -speaking Celts who first occupied the country, and that these gave place later mm on to a second wave of iigilant Celts who spoke Welsh. Bearing this in mind,ithere- fore, it is not difficult to understand how the mythologies of the Celtic race should be found embodied in the place-names of dis- tricts so far apart as Cornwall' and the Scot- tish Border. This co -existence of traditional legends re- garding Arthur and Merlin in places so widely separated, is distinctly unfavourable to the claims that have been put forward for these men as being really historical per- sonages. I1. is difficult to regard them as such. The great battle of Mons Baclonieus or Radon Hill, fought 493 A. D., is one with which Arthur's name is associated. But the historian Nennius es , who professes ses to give the navies of this and other battles fought by Arthur, lived some centuries after the date o'that event, and our best scholars regard his compilation of se -called Arthurian battles as of doubtful authenticity.." Wherehs the Welsh historian Gildas, who:1 vas bbrn in the same year as that in which the battle of Mons Badonicus was fought, and who makes special reference to the battle does not men- tion Arthur's name in connection with it, nor does he moreover seem ever to have. at on of the Scotia;ioniean, which he wrote so late as the fifteenth century, who seeks to identifythis Llallogen; with Merlin the Wild. It is possible also that flee poems which are attributed to this Merlin the Wild may]lace actually been written by Llallogen and on account of this'poetical faculty and THE AlaNTAL Al1Elt8ATION of his later years, the people may have come to regard him as a second Merlin, the one name n the course of time supplanting tile other. And so, instead of the place of bur - al being called after Llallogen-a name foreign to Saxon lips -it was reconsecrated with the more fernier appellation of Merlin's Grave. In the Life of St. Kentigern better known in Scotland as St. fungo-written in the twelfth century, we read of a certain Lailoken or Llallogen who lived in the court of King Ryddereh as a kind of jester, but who, after the death of the saint, became very melancholy, and began to utter pro- phecies, which were rendered memorable by their realisation. Bower, who connects him with Merlin the Wild, gives a different version of Llallogen's relations with the saint. According to him, it happened that Kentigern was in the woods praying, when he was suddenly come upon by a certain madman, naked and hairy, and like a furi- ous savage. The saint addressed him, with the result that the supposed madman gave him some information as to himself. He said he was once the Bard of Vortigern, and was called Merle, ; that he had been the cause of the slaughter of all those who fell at the battle "fought between the Liddell and Carwandlow" (supposed to be that of Ardderyd), ane- that for this great evil which he had done he had been driven forth by Heaven to dwell among the beasts until Y EaOnOm Doubtless the Cause.. the day of his death. The saint ministered to him the consolations of religion ; and, Ferguson -"Why did Richard III. offer to after receiving the benediction, the Wizard give. his kingdom for a horse ?" is said to have at once prophesied his own McCusick-"I don't know, unless he had death and that of the king, and again once paid cab hire in New York and thought betook himself to the wilderness. It so it would be cheaper to own a horse, no mat- happened that on the same day Llallogen in er what he paid for it." the course of his wanderings was met by the shepherdD of a certain chief called Meldred, at his place of Drummeldred .or Drummelzier, and these, probably regarding the Wizard as the cause of calamity tothem- selves or their flocks, seized himan , d pro- ceeded to stone him and beat `him to death. At the last, moment the Wretched man stumbled .over a steep bluff or bank overhanging the Tweed, his body falling upon the sharp point of a stake ib the water, and upon which he was impaled. This manner of death, it was found, corresponded with the prophecy which he had that day Tae Pivotal Question, Says Joe to Sam in tierce debate pc,n the woman question, "You're re mime( red 11'ell all other points, Now here's my last suggestion.
