and he took his hat and left the room hu

songs of his country had over tho mind
of on • of tum wisest man of his day.
ft is told of Sir Walter Scott that
wit 12 he visited Italy to recruit his
health 0110 11y before his death, and
whom climbing Mount Vesuvius, he was
heard humming something to himself,
and his attendant, wishing 1011110w who
the thoughts of the great man were upon
that occasion, weal] near and listened—
and heard him 0iuging;
"My heart's in the Highlands, my heart
is not hero,
• My heart's in oho Highlands a•ohasing
the deer.
A•:haiing oho wild deer, and folio wing

Ill sunny Italy with its balmy air—its
clear bluo sky—its classic history and its
magnili0euasoonery, Sir Walter's (tear%
was still among the rude mountains of
his native land. Such was the power of
Scottish song over the greatest writer
and ono of flu foremost men of his time.

A minister also 0 Highlandman called to
see him and speak of the concerns of iii

minister knew the nature of 111'1 country -

sang:
"Farewell to Lochaber, farewell to my

"3 'Darn' frac Lochaber, my wife sang
