Ile had three very fine el il- &en, who all in succession died af er having been atreaned, though bef re they gave every promise of health Da firtnnees. Both parents were int eh afflicted; but the father's grief vas clamorous and unmanly. They resol ed. that the next 'should be sueided for t vo years, hoping by this to avoid the re )e- tition of such a misfortune. They id so; and the child, by lilting, only t ok a firmer hold of their affections, a id - furnished more materialS for sorrow ul recollections_ At the close of the seccjud year he followed his brothere, and th re wtteri,:eenntso. bounds to the affliction of he p There are, however, in the econo v of Highland life, certain duties and courtesies -which. are indispensa,ble, and for the onimission of which nothing e apologise. One of these is to call in their friends, and feast them at the ti e of the greatest family distress. Tie f death of the child happenedla e in the spring, when sheep were abro d. in the more inhabited straths ; but. the blasts in that high andregiox st they were still confined to the • rmy cot. • On a dismal snOwy evening, the man, unable to stifle his anguish,. ent out lamenting aloud for a lamb to reat his frien.ds with at the late -wake At the door of the cot, however, he f und. a stranger standing before the entr nce. He was astonished on such a nig t to meet a person so far from any freq ent- ed place. The stranger was pl ly attired., but had a bountenance ex res - sive of singular mildness and be. eve- lence, and, addressinghim in a s impressive voice, asked. hire wha he - did there amidst ,the tempest. The poor man was Biled. with awe, whi h he could not account for, and said th t he came for a lamb. "What kind of adarab do you ean to take ?" asked the stranger. . "The very best t can find," h re- phed, "as it is to e tertain my fie. ds; and I hope you wi1i share of it. 1-4 Do your sheep nake any resist nee •when you take awafr the lamb, or any • disturbance afterwards ?" "Never.", was the- answer. "How differently am I treated,!' said the traveler. "When.I come to 'sit my sheepfold I take, as I am well en- titled to do, the best lamb to m self; and my ears are filled with the ell a our �f discontent by those ungrateful s • eep whom I have fed, watched; and pro ect- ed. - The afflicted peasant looked u amazement, but the vision had He went, h.owever, for the lamb, brought it home with alacrity.

He Was not the type of , chef-de-dui- siii of the present day, but a very excel- lent cook in his way. He 'dressed. in a dark waist -coat, knee -breeches, and a; red nightcap. He liked no helperin the kitohen, and always sent out any of th other serv- ants who invaded his do eau, shriek- ing with laughter. He preferred his 'beer to his meat, and never partook of meads with his fellows, but sat behind and joked with 1 them at dinner. He was.very kind to my sister and me, and when he had no ether dainty to bestow, he would boil *a fresh egg, or parch peas for us; and, sometimes he contrived to make us a whistle of what he called a. guselltrapple (Anglice, the windpipe of a goose). . • i In the year 1745 and 1746, when his master, my grandfather;was skulking, after the battle of Culloden John foundi it imperative to take other service, and. hired himself to Mr. Wedd.erburn of Pearsie; but he wearied to get back to Duntrune. , „ One day Mr, Wed.derbu -ii observed him putting a spit through ape -at, prob-- ably with the intention of eleaningit. When his master inquired his reason for so doing, he r-eohed, "Indeed, sir, I'm just gaen to rpast a pet, for fear I forget my trade"' - At the end of two years he -returned. to Duntrune, where he con 'lined to ea- ereise his calling during the remainder of his life. His death took place in Dundee, where his master • my uncle, paid the last tribute -of respect to his memory, and laid is head in the grave beside the family he had served so faith- fully. John's widow was so gratified with the respect paid to her husband that she called her neighbors to " &eine . out and see the bealltiful burial." . i There is an.aneedote of john worthy ' of remembrance. One day he sent up a roast goose for dinner, off which he, or some one, had cut a leg before it ap- peared on the table. John was sum- moned from the kitchen to -tell how the goose came to be deprived of one leg; to which he replied, that all the geese of Duntrune had only one leg, and in corroboration of this assertion the point- ed to a whole flock ilifront ef the honse which were, happily, sitting asleep on one leg, with a sentinel . oi the watch.

But john, no fited, quietly told 'his mas er, "If ye Tay discern - had clappit your hands and cried shaw to the ane on the 'table, it would moist likely hae dune the same. I • . ! It is not to be believed that John evef read "Boccaccio," or had ever heard of the Venetian cook Chichibit,, who play- ed the same trick with theicranes leg; but it is possible that two artists in the same vocation, even with fon]: centuries rolling between them, may have origin- ated similar ideas., • A 1 . Hint for Poverty -Cursed Belles. i The other day a groceryman at Val- lejo gave. a large party, at which • the daughter of the carriage painter who lived next door created a _decided sensa- tion. It was not that she was 'more handsomely attired than the other la- dies- Present, but that when she gyrated in the " dance of d.eath " she was ob- served to display the only pair of silk stockings in tte room. She left the house for a few moments at the expira- tion of the dance, and in the next waltz exhibitecl a pair' of light blue dittoes. An hour later her crushed and exasper- ated female friends beheld. these sup- pleMented by further hose of a delicate chocolate shade. And. so it went on until her miserable rivals determined to follow her the next time she disap- peared. They traded her to her father's paint shop in the back -yard, wb.ete she was .discovered, brush iu hand., and i about ornamenting her net er extremi- ties with a final artistic cot of light salmon. The exulting spies rushed back with the damaging news, but it was too late. The men were alltoo tight to understand, the mu4c had one home, and the lights were being put out. Thus .it is that fraud and duplicity triumph, while honest simplicitywalks around with a darn on its ball and .a. hole in its heel.-4.'en. Francisco Pot. • The Importance of -Trifles.
