A patriotic London Gael, pretty well known to members of the' Scottish societies in the Metropolis, on one occasion, after having for some time ‘‘entertained” a number of English friends to a glowing account of the beauties of Scotland and its great superiority over England, was asked somewhat impatiently, but very pertinently, why he did not stay there. Ho was not a hit put out. '“A verra natural question,” he acknowledged. “‘lt was like this, ye see. In Scotland everybody was as clever as mysel’, an’ I could male’ naething o’t. But here,” he cently, “I’m gettin’ on verra weel.”
He who receives a good turn should never forget it ; he who does one should never remember it. —Oharron.'-
