EVERY BODY HAS HIS BUBBLY-JOCK

The following anecdote of the late Sir WALTER SCOTT
rasa genuine appearance, and we do not recollect of ever
seeing it published. A gentleman, in conversing with the
illustrious author, remarked that he believed that it was
possible that perfect happiness might be the lot of some-
body or other. Sir WALTER. dissented. " Well," said
the gentleman, " there is an idiot, who, I'm certain, will
confirm my opinion; he seems the very beau ideal of ani-
mal contentment." The daft individual was snooving
along, humming to himself, when Sir WALTER. SCOTT ad-
dressed him. " W,el, JAMIE, hop are ye the day ?"
" Brawley, ou brawley," answered he. " Now, JAMIme,
have you plenty to eat and drink ?" "Ou ay." " And
keep you warm ?" "Ou ay." " And are a' the folk
kind to ye?" "On ay." " There," said the -poet's an-
tagonist, crowing, " is a perfectly happy creature." " Not
so fast," continued Sir WALTER. "Is there naethinc,
JAMIE, that bothers you at a'?" " Ou, ay," said ti.e
idiot, changing his merry look, " there's a muckle Bubbly-
Jock •i,at follows itie wherever I gang." " Now," said
Sir WALTER, " you tee from this that the very simplest
and stupidest of mankind are haunted by evil of some kind
or other—in short, every one has his Bubbly-Jock."-
