SANDY AND THE TOURISTS.
A couple of tourists staying 1 at a village which is in close proximity to a: well-known Scottish loch had a fancy one fine Sunday to go for a row on the loch. They accordingly sallied forth in seaich of the . boatman, whom they met just leaviag his houee, dressed in hie Sunday best, and carrying a Bible under hfs> arm. "We want to go for a row," siid ono of the tourists. "Dae ye no' ken ils Sawbfjth !" answered Sandy; "yell no' get ti boat frae mo th© day, forbye I'll hue yo tae ken that am an elder o' the kirk." "Yes, yes," expostulated the tourists, "that'e all very well for you, but wo don't requiro you with us. You ran go to church; we can row ourselves." "Ay, ay," said the uider, "but jist think what the meonist'er'll say." "Never mind th* minister," was lh© reply : "he will know nothing about it. We wilt pay you well." "Ah, weel, said Sandy, "I'll no' let ye the boat, bit I'll tell ye whit I'll dae. Dae ye see yon weo boatie doon among the lushes ? Well, she's ready w'i the oars inside. Jist ye gang down there, an' row out tae the middle o' the loch, an' I'll come doon tae the bank an' swear at ye ; bit never ye mind, ye jist row on an' I'll call for the money Monday."
