A LAITGEOLM FAST -DAY.
"Gomel away, Bob; come away. I've
not seen ye since the 'jubilee.' What!
ye been& time! Man, there's trains,
trams, and boats for a, couple of --hours
to come." .
"Weel, av011 jeust look in anahae
'three reeks an a spit.' Ony unoos free
the 'muckle toon' lately ?"
"I've just 'been rennin,/ alang the col-
umns & the Advertiser tare, but there's
not much ofimportance transpiriug.
see the fishing is closed for the season,
and finished with some splendid- kills.
Likewise the fast—"
“Man, when ye talk aboot fishing, aw
was just coining slang Grey Street the
other day, When Mr. Bone, the builder,
shouts, *Hee, Scotty, come here, and
show you something not to be seefl
every day.' i I followed him into the
house, where he showed me twine fine
sammon-the biggest &bane twenty-six
pound an the other ane far, up i' the
teens. 'Now, what think ye of that
lot I' says ,he. 'Man, they're tae
"yankers," says L--; "Yaukers I" why
man, they're “Scotts" tish-they never
saw America, and I'll be Mowed if they
ever will. They were killed in the
Esk,not far from a place theyfcaa Lang-
hol-m, in the county of Dumfries. I
hooked the small one at a place called
"Slippers Bridge," and this large one at
a place called "Cenobite" where the
Lichtheruns into the Ek'-'Weel, Mr.
Bone,' says I, 'that beats a", for as BOOT1
.as ever aw clap't my eye on them aw
could hae sworn they were baith Esk
fish.' -'How in the world MU you tell
one river fish from another?' Now,
aw wanted a rise out o' him, d'ye see,
for he pretends to be a naturalist 'o the
first water, although he's as ignorant as
ategrinstarie" on natural -history as a
science, for he swaaows a' for Gotpel
that folk haat a mind to tell him, par-
ticularly if it never struck him afore.
'Weel, one, aw ken the vera pools
where ye hooked them baith, fee &Wee
fished them scores cd times tnyseld-
tWlett, doyen know Lang-hol-m and
Canobie ? Yon astonish this youth: -
'Man, what ire ye talkie' about? D'ye
ken you's ma, native place ?-aye, just
the Langem, or Lang holm; as ye ca'
it. Now, sir, as regards the eawmon,
aw'll show ye in a eeat squint" how aw
ken them sae weel frae ony other fish.'
---•Now, Scot ty, no gammon:-.Weel,
Mr.13one,ye can either believe what aw
say or no. Now, just observe the eeu o'
halal that) fish, and tell me candidly if
ever ye saw e deid samon we its een

blowed if ever3 took notice of that be-
fore:- Thep just take particular uotice
o' the next deid BRWITIOu. ye oume tie.1088
for if its een es shut up ye may be per-
fectly certait that it's no a Langena
fish: Sae aw came away aud left
him."
"I've often thought within myself
that o' a the; lifeless • creatures i' the
hale creation, e deid sawraon is the
waist comelY. Eine can look on't wi'
pleasure andl a.druire its sides stealing'
just like a new coined half -croon, for
there's naethiug gruesome or repulsive
about it like la deid dowg or a cat, or
oPy other object o' natural history. In
lett, everybody admires a deid gammon
either raw dr boiled. What say y�?
leek, a.w've blethered away a guid half
hour. But there was somethiug else ye
were gap to Hay? What watt ?"
tO.h, it wag only the fast -day, Bob."
"Oh. man, if aw'd only had time aw
could hae tauld, ye a wad alio about a
fast -day whep aw was a boy."
"We musehave it, Bob, if I should
set you &lithe way home."
"Alan, but it's getting o'er late. Aw
fear the last boat will hae left the
landing."
“Never mihd the 'landing% there's a
couple of trains an hoar and more alter
thie yet."
“Weel, then. • This is a laugsyne
affair, but we'll Po mention dates, in
°see we expose 'the days of the years of
our pilgrimage,' although they haena
reached aa yet 'the days of the years of
the pragrimage of our fathers: Nae
doubt yell can mind weel aneuch when
(keepiug off the hosiery business) cotton
weaving was the staple tred o' Laugene
Weal aw- mind scartier day,' an' bow
boys used to weary for't coming, espec-
ially as that used to rin for bobbins au'
dressing.
"New, we aye got 'the play' on the
fast days, for the schulerna,ster was an
elder & the kirk. Aw wakened arum
sune that morning, for aw couldna
steep, thinking there was nae sIhule ;
sae vett gat up just as the toou clock was
striking five. 'Twas a glorious morning
-the sun shining wi' a dadigsyue' sim-
mer splendour, the birds yeniug at the
top o' their voices, and naething to die-
turb the little millenium o' a meriting
except the fa' o' my ain fit. Sae aw
gaed as far as the 'Square,' an' took a
'victorious' look through the auld schule
windows, as mach as to say, UW113 dune
wi' you my lads for this day at least.
Then aw took a bit denuder up the
Gallowside, as far se ‘Davie Reid's yett'
where aw met twee Eskdale carts gene
to the coals. Aw fancied the drivers
michtna ken it was the fast day, or they
never wad hae yoked their horses to dis-
. turb the sanctity of the oity. Aw made
up my mind to tell them about it, but
another thought struck me, viz , it
might no be considered oily vera seri-
ous sin simply to ride in a cart, for that
didria constitute bodily labour ; -like-
wise aw minded it was nae unconartion
occurrence even on a real Sawbath day
for folk to ride in a cart when coming
to the "preachin: But ew'cl scarcely
etent this knotty point settled to my sat-
isfaction when the driver ba.wis oat,
'Jump in my lad, and get a bit hurl
• done as far as the brig en'.' Sae aw
jumpit in and oocket ruysel up beside
him. 'What are ye doing up sae sune
this morning ?" says he; warrant
pe've some mischief yer heid.'-'D'ye
no ken it's the fast day ?" says I. -'The
fast day,' exclaimed the sturdy plow-
man ; 'man,' says he, 'that is a bad jot).
However i' the wide wort will ye dee
withoot meat a' lay; aw hope ye "lin-
ed" yersel weel yesterday."
'Weal, to tell ye the truth, aw coldna
answer the canny man as he threw a
'new licht' altogether on the observance
of a fast -day. Sae aw jumped oot o' the
cart opposite Wait the Butcher's corner
on purpose to hae a look at the water.
Just as aw was ga,un through the entry
to Esksicie what should tickle my fancy
but the sound o' shuttles clattering
away just as if it had been an every
day. Aw stood an' listened to be cer-
tain it weans a' imagination, as aw
oonldna let mysel think there were sae
trinekle wickedness i' the lima Sae a
listened an' better listened, until aw
fanoied the looms had changed, their
•
usual monotonous sang whioh ns bo
used to intervet in
'Iss-i-co-K11- -co,
Ca-the-shuttl
for that morning the looms appeared
actually saying:
. • 'This is na Su -day,
This Is na Su .day;
then varying into -
'This is just T urs -day,
- This is just T urs -day.'
"As aw was weel ac uainted wi' some
o' the webster lads i' he shop aw ven-
tured in, and clapped mysel down be-
side ane 0' them."
"What's raised ye aae sune thie morn-
ing, Bob ?"
“An' what's raised yon t� break the
guid fast clay. Aw ever heard your
looms gann sae ear y in a. morning
afore."
"Fast -day! • hum, let them that
makes them keep th m. We've fast -
days enench oorsels without haehng
them forced upon us. But aw hasena
time to blether on i' ye, as aw's on
the alooble deepera e,' for the next
week's carrier day. B t,' says he, 'man,
yer just a boy yet. D ye no ken fast
days are but human I stitutious, when,
a's said and dune, an, only enforced by
ecclesiastical anthem y. It's- no like
the guid auld Sawba laday, which is
o' Divine origin."

l "We crept close together, not daring
to speak a.bune our breath, and watch-
ing the i bull scrapin' and tossite the
dirt ' .wi' his forefeet . nearly
tip to . where we stood. Although
we within& see his een, we
were perfectly sure he could& see us,
for he always came just beneath the
vent spot where, we were, sending up a
noiee like- thunner, which dieted the
vera stones on which we stood.. We
were now in a fix, but there was nae -
thing else for't but just to bite our lips
and bide by it, for there was nae way
o' escape. We were prisoners in Gil-
nockie Tower, wi' little or no hope o' a
respite sae lang as the monster remain-
ed below. Bow slowthilow the time
passed , away. It seemed hours and
hours, for we darstna stir a single peg,
thinking that the stillness might gar
the beast to forget our presence and slip
away ; limit na, wad he, for there he
stood in the doorway half out and half
in, whiles turning his bin' quarters
towards us and whiles his head. .
"But imaginehow _our hearts lap tee
our mouth when webeird the sound ce
a man's voicetand the barkin' o' a dong;
mair especially an they came nearer
and nearer, • until the brute bolted out
free the doorway and off to attack the
doug. We now lowered the ladder, and
reached the floor. Then peepin' out
our head we beheld to our great relief
. the bull at tee extreem end o' the
field, gallopin' wi' the (bug at his tail.
Then we off like a shot, making for the
'road, and the herd shouting after us,
'Run for yer lives, ye Langem limmerst
as aw've a guid mind tae open the yett
and let the bull out after ye.' . -So w,',
kept running tat as hard as we; could
until we were clear o' sioht o' the tow-
er, when we slackened our pace and
toddled away hame the best we Could.
"And what d'ye think? In less nor -
six mouths what should aw see coming
„rockile up the 'fore street, but my
identical bovine acquaintance, sae aw
followed birn into Wat's sharnels, where
aw saw a bit paltry mince o' lead trans-
mogrify him tato a hundred stane o'
Christmas beef. J. H.
“After that oration aw came away,
for aw saw aw'd set hi dander up we
middlite where aw'd naething to do.
Sae aw gaed hame, an looked up the
'Johnstone' to see the meaning o' the
jaw breakers,' and a. ter beiug quite
satisfied as to their m ening, it struck
me that the 'Common- iding' was a hu-
man institution also, but no shuttle
sounded on that augu t' morn. Then
I wondered if the, New ear was a human
institution ; if so, wha ailed + the nim-
ble shuttle that morn ug. But boy as
aw was, aw could see ti at it wasna sae
muckle for the love o' he loom as for I
defying ecclesiastical uthority. Aw've
sometimes thought sin syne that this
man% doctrine was r ther dangerous,
especially to youth, hose minds -ire
soft and pliable and like waxoteteily
impressed or tatodeled, and every man
kens frue experience t at what is ance
impressed on the memory is bad to
erase. Wellovith th s new doctrine
aw commenced a mor ing 111f88i011, and
afore porrich time aw had three con-
verts who agreed with rise to visit 'Gil-
nockle Tower' in sear° o' jackdaws.
"Aw'd sae far forgot en mese!, what
we jackdaws •and the thought o' may- I
bytt gettiug jute t' my breakfast as it
was fast, inetead of the chief o' Scotia's
food, that aw passed e window and
opened the door whu slin 'Corn Rigs'
we a my rnicht, when' a voice cries oat
o' bed, 'Come in, ye r gardless ra.skell,
wbusslin' toed ont th t gate; d'te no
ken wiaatua, day it i . Sit dean, an'
ta.ke a buike yer ha rid and itt the
same time tossing Bt ston's 'Four -fold
State into my arms. w opened the
buike aud preteuded o read, out aw
wadua hae glen ae feat er oot o' a jack-
daw's tail for a' the hula i' the Laugem
Leeberary.
"Saeafter getting he drop sorted
aw slippit my ways ost by the back
door, making for the said Post office
corner, where my le orning converts
were standing wearyiulg for me. Sae
we wok off at a caute up Wauchope
raw, slang the wild brig, up Gaskill's
path, o'er the new ro die through the
Muetholm wud and past the farm,
where ane o' the oom any picked up a
muckle goose egg newt laid, for it was
still warm. We p keted that for
future use, then came lut at the end o
. the Shipper's brig, wh re we enjoyed
an exciting chase after pair of squir-
• rels, whioh ended in j bagging ane o
ff
them. Then we set oat aelink,clank
-down the Bean Bank' (as the mild
rhyme saith) until we retched the water-
ing trough, where we Ihad sap aboot
o' the truckle egg- to nake us lang,
winded for the rest ' the journey.
Within an hour we were standing
in front cd that huge pile o' ancient
• m asoury."
"'But, not to stop yen, Bob. What
think ye of the architec ure of Gilnockie
Tower ?"
Weel, my opinion is. that the archi-
tect'a had other jobs oil greater import-
ance iu bane, for it pp
aeare as if he'd
left the iggin' o't to aeld Gill and his
men to jumnale 't up the best way they
could; aud strung rullions they must
hae been when tie looks at the muckle
unshapely blocks thrawn at random
among ane &rather, eterey after storey,
th1
till they reached the top."
"0 man, but you cornice is grand.
What a fine stringing. tongueing and
rapeing rips roue' the catalog o' the auld
tower. That part o't harms. been left
tae Johnnie and bis rangers, for B it wad
seem that the architect must hae ca'd
in i' the by-gitughe and sent competent
workmen to finish yon,,for its worthy
o' Tammie Telford, or even Sir Kitty
Wren himsel,"
"Wool, as aw was saying, within an
hour we.were standing in front o' the-
rein. Sae afore we ventured inside we
looked roan' tae see if naebody observ-
ed us, but we saw naebody, except a few
sheep an' kye in the field ba.skin i' the
sunshine. Sae we ventured inside,
waeling our steps, far wad ye believe't,
the floor was aukle deep o' cow dung.
Thinks I to mysel whatna shame to
allow this grand auld rain to
be converted iuto a cow byre, and young
as aw W8.8 aw couldua ; help thiuking
that either the labdlord or the tenant
must hae little poetry in his seul to
mak a muck middin o' the venerable
auld place. But aw hope that's recti-
fied lang syne, for, as the 'auld sang
says ---.Time changes a' things.'"
"We looked up and down the auld
waas, but nae jackdaws could be beard
er seen, sae we concluded they were
either flown or else shot. While search-
ing about for Rule' soords and battle
axes ane o' us came across an auld
riekle o' a' ladder, which seemed to
hae been left by the builders after finish-
ing the tower, for it had a' the
appearance it' being the oldest o' the
twae (but we'll leave that for antiquar-
ians to decide). We dragged it out o'
its hiding place, and set it up agaiust
the ruins, o' what had Dame been a
winding stair, and with great caution
we clam tip ane after the other, Then
with our united strength we pulled the
auld r'ekity skeleton o' a ladder up to
where we stood, to try and 'get bit by
bit to the top o' the tower, and just as
we hear slow hollow grumelint accom-
panied by the rattling o' a chain, and
on looking down what think ye we saw
but just his majesty the monarch o' the
meadow. There he stood as large as
life, wi' a big board suspended by his
horns across his broad burly forehead,

A Canadian,1 Clergy man. en '
, France.
The Rev. Dr. Jeukins, of Montreal,
who is now scijouruing in Hyeres,
South of France, writes home as fol-
lows:
"This is the 20th day of January. I
ant sitting in my room with windows
open, the ' thermometer standing at
68 °. The heat in the _open air is so
great that one is glad to takeshelter
from it; how could he use theeime so
well, as in writing to one's friends! The
climate of the Riveria, to me who am
testing it for the first time, is wonder-
ful, I speak of its mildness and dry-
ness. Its results on the health' of the
iuvalid are often satisfactory. To se.
cure such results the patient should
never be sent here in a condition of
body so weak as to disable him from
taking exercise, both welking and driv
ing, iu the open air. Many, alas! corn°
here toe late, and die. I have called
the climate "wouderful." The place
mm
abound iu palm trees -some of the
8.8lofty as til . I ha,ve seen in India. The
olive, agnolia, arbutus, aloe, and cac-
tus flourish luxuriautly. Orange and
lemon trees with their clusters of ripe
golden fruit are innumerable ; every
.garden, yes, every snuall plot of ground,
is adorned by their richness and beauty.
The heliotrope, the geranium, the gla-
diola, are in full bloom; roses and vio-
lets abound. From the garden 6f this
hotel huudreda of branches of violets
are daily gathered for the Paris mar-
ket, aud even fur the Covent Garden.
Yon never . had a warmer or a finer
June day in Montreal, then . we have
enjoyed on this 20th of January1
"The towu is ancient and quaint.
The 'closes' outvie those of Edinburgh
in their dirtiest days. The new part of
the town is very splendid and attrac-
tive; not so much for its buildings, as
for its grand Boulevards. Some of
these are completed, and with their
rows. of palm trees, preseut a very fine
appearance. Others are in course of
ooustruction with a thorougliuess as to
masonry and road -making which I
have never known surpassed.
"There is a French protestant church
here of about 40 communicants, and a
congregation of from 60 to 80. The
ministee is an earnest, well read, intel-
ligent, eaange I ical clergyma n,vvho seems
to understand his work, and tries his
hest to do it. His wife is like-minded
With himself. , Their work is arduous,
for the Protestant French are in a
small minority -very small; and , their
battle is with the triple -foe of religion
-Superstition, Infidelity, and World-
liness. It is oheernig, in presence of
such influences, as we pass through one
of the principal streets, to see au ecole-
siattical baildipg dedicated, "Au Christ
Redempteur"-to Christ the Redeemer.
This is the inscription over the Protest-
ant Church.
"The Church of Scotland has a Chap-
lain here -the Rev. David Seutt, B. D.,
of Daiziel, near Hamilton. He com-
menced his services in the church to
which I have just referred. Soon after,
his throat gave such signs of debility,
that hie medical men forbade his
preaching. Since then I have taken
the service for him -an afternoon ser-
vice on each Lord's, day. I am very
thankful to be able Once more to occu-
py a pulpit. I may say, indeed, thet
the effect of this delicious climate upon
my 0 WII health is most gratifying. The
benefit is greater than we could have
anticipated. Our congregation num-
bers about 30 -in wet weather, a rare
occurrence, even fewer. A sad case
occurred last week in the midst of our
little Scottish circle here. The Rev.
James Pennell, Minister of the parish
of Ballingry in Fifeshire, came here
several weeks ago in poor health, ac-
companied by his, wife and daughter.
His condition. has been all long serious,
but variable. Last week there were
signs of improvement. On Thursday
Mrs. and Miss P. went to dinner, leav-
ing him quietly asleep. On *Mrs. P.'s
return -he was lying precisely in the
same position, as she thought, still
asleep. It was the sleep of death! I
will not say, "Alas !" for it was rest
front great suffering, and a translation
to a better world. I took part in the
burial service.
-Miss Katie McDonald, of Alpena,
Michigan, who has been dumb for 14
years,recovered her voice recently. She
has. been permanently dumb,and her re -
recovery is without medical aid. It is
considered a miracle. She was eighteen
years old when stricken.
