A Highland Legend.
A peasant of Glen-Banchor, it dre
and sechnled recess in the col!
Highlands, was fortunate in all resit
but one. He had three very illie e:
dren, who ali in succession died a:
having been weaned, though be
they gave every promise of health
firmness. Both parent.; were le
afflicted; but the father's grief -
clamorous and unmanly. They rcs.
that the next ahoiiid be suckled for
years, hoping by this to uvula the rl
talon of such a misfortune. Thty
so; and the child, by living, enly
it firmer hold of their affections,
furnished more materials for serrte
recollections. At the close of the set
year he followed his brothers, and tl
were no bounds to the affliction of
parents.
There are, however, in the eco
of Highland life, certain duties
courtesies which are indispensable,.
for the ommission of which nothing'
apologise. One of these is to eel ntheir friends,
and feast them at that
