HIGHLAND PRIDE.
Why is it that a Scotchman is so often ashamed of being called a Scotchman? He must be a Scot, or a. Scotsman, or a North Briton, of a Caledonian, or a " brither Scet," or anything, forsooth, except what he really is — a Scotchman ! An Englishman does not mind being deHcribed as an Englishman. A Welshman has no objection to the style ; and, with all his manifold and manifest shortcomings, an Irishman is rather proud of being so called. — Vanity Fair.
