SIR WALTER SCOTT AND A SCOTCH BLACKSMITH.
—lt happened, at a small country town, that Scott sud-
denly required medical advice for one of his servants,
and, on inquiring if there was any doctor at the place, he
was told there were two, one long established and the
other a new corner. The latter gentleman, being
luckily found at home, soon made his appearance— a
grave, sagacious looking personage, attired in black,
with a shovel hat, in whom, to his utter astonishment,
Sir Walter recognised a Scotch blacksmith, who had
formerly practised, with tolerable success, as a veterinary
operator in the neighbourhood of Ashestiel. ." How, in
all the world I" exclaimed he, " can it be possible th:,t
that this is John Lundie ?" "In troth, lour
honour ; just a' that's of him." " Well, hut let us hear;
you were a horse-doctor before ; now, it seems, you are
a man doctor ; how do you get (n ?" " Ou, jat ex.
traordinar weel; for your honour matm ken my practice
is very sure and orthodox. I depend entirely upon twa
simples." " And %v hat may their
.11ABIES be ? I 'erhaps
it is a secret." " tell ,) our honour," in a low tone ;
"my twa simples are just lauclarny and calumny."
never happen to kill any of your
" Simples with a vengeance !" rep)ied Scott. But,
Jahn, do you
patients ?" " Kill ? Oh ay, may he sae ! Whiles
they die, and whiles no ; but it's the will of Providence.
Ony how, your honour, it wad be long before it makes
up for Fleddea !"—Reminiseences of Sir Walter Scott.
