The author of that amusing and useful work—the
Scrap Book—and the indefatigable Editor of that best of
provincial newspapers, the Dumfries Courier, Jolla
514 DIA atm); has just come forth with another work,
which we can confidently recommend to the readatg pub-
lic. The " Siouan from Nature" possess all thepeca-
&rifles of Mr. M'D lAANIVII peculiar dietioa---w
of tenderness or exaggeration. A celebrated wit once
said that in all his future writings he was resolved to mix
prom with his poetry, and poetry with his prose. Mr.
WIN A amiD always seemed to us, to have got his lesson
by heart ; for he never sits down to write, even upon the
most trifling affair, without making a " capital story" of
it. The book before us is a fair ensample of Mr.
M4DIARIIID'B ability in this way. A passionate love
for localities—equal to that of Sir WALTEIL SCOTT him-
self—has confined the subject-matter of this work to a
particular district : still, it is beautiful. There are de-
scriptive sketches here which must please the reader of
any country. Our limited space prevents our speaking
at greater length, either in rain, of Mr. M4Dts amp s
acquirements, or in condemnation of certain faults which
he possesses withal. We cannot, however, refrain from
giving the following extract. Mr. WM...amp doss
not put an extinguisher upon the exploits of our aristo-
cracy at Gretna Green
:
At what precise period the Ira run-away marriage was celebrated
at the spot called Gretna-Gnus, cannot now be witisfactorily Whett-
tained ; but in common parlance the custom is aid to have ambled
from time immemorial. Old Joseph Paisley, who died in 1814, at
the advanced age of four-score years, resided in his youth at
Megg's-hill, a small farm situated betwixt Gretna and Springfield ;
and hence the name of Gretna-Otero. Bat so far back as 1791, he
abandoned Megg's-hill, and removed to Springfield as a more con-
rodent spot, end though the popular name is still kept up, it is no
longer geographically accurate. Though he generally went by the
name of Bleelresilit, he knew nothing of the secrets of the anvil
and the forgo. On the contrary, he was bred a tobacconist and
continued to toll and liquor the seaman's quid, until the trade he
had followed merely as a bye.jol, throve so surprisingly that he
found he could subsist by it alone. Welding, or joining, is a term
well known in the smithy ; and it is believed that it was the meta-
phorical application of this term, that procured for Paisley the op-
pellatioa of blacksmith. Though neither avaricious nor cold-
hearted, he war a rough, " outspoken," eccentric fellow ; drank like
a fish, swore like a trooper, and when once in his cups, forget en-
tirely the character he had assumed. Still he monopolised the
whole trade, and was only on one occasion threatened with appal.
lion; but he soon put an end to his rival's pretension*, by poupesing
copartnery, in which the assistant, in the hope of a lucrative sue.
ca was allowed to pocket the whole profits accruing from the
visits of pedestrian couples. Repeatedly he famed the handsome fee
of a hundred guineas, in a briefer space than a barber consumes in
shaving a wormy bumpkin; old Charles Lord Bat-
hurst, and one or two others, paid hilly that sum ; and though these ,
were wind-Gila dare occurence, many of the inferior fees *see es
hiusdeome, that the priest, bad he bees careful, might have lived
merrily. and died in affluent or may circumstances. But he liked
his bottle too well foe that; and the same remark, I uaderstand,
applies to his summon. What is sadly tome by, gees as
cheaply, and the trade of marrying, though not to hasardats, hos
this feature in common with the trade of smuggling, that there l
seldom much money pined by it la the and.
VIM lately there was two rival practitioners at Springfield, end
or whom married the pandsdaughter of Paisley, and fell issir•to his
trade, in muds the sane way that some persons acquire the right of
vending quack meditinos. Still the gets a good deal of trustees;
and here, as in every thing else, compattion habeas -favourable so
the interests of the public. Though a bargain le generally mode

mach money about Win, bat it was agreed at last that he .hoed

would not be angry with his fair daughter for proving herself so apt
a otholar, and profiting by the lesson he had himself taught. But
also ! alas ! the blow fell so heavily on the poor Cumbrian, that It
at Drat threatened to break his heart, or unsettle his understanding.
The lovely and light-hearted:Beatriee was the apple of his eye—the
stay and pride of his maturer years ; and so far from wishing to
match her with a common clown, there were few even of the bettor
class of yeoman that he deemed worthy to aspire to such an honour.
In the course of time, however, the old man's wrath gradually gave
way to better feelings ; a farm, taken fur the son-in-law, was stocked
and plenished, nobody knew how ; and if report may be credited,
the praise-worthy conduct of the young people led before long to •
complete and permanent reconciliation.
On another occasion, a middle-aged gentleman arrived from the
mouth of England, and was united to a lady considerably hii jun►or
in years and appearance, and who, very unfortunately, happened to
be the sister of his former wife. The veteran bridegroom was in
high spirits, scattered his money very freely, and seabed
so well satisfied with the accommodations of the place, that

he was in no haste ;to retire *am the some of his second nuptial..
' At length, however, the carriage was ordered to the door; and
just as the sun was sinking in the west, the happy
`pair
bode adieu to Springfield, and with a degree of haste, not
at all requisite in their situation, made the best of their way to
merry England. Nor bad they left the inn above an bow or so,
' when a second chaise and four drove up, and discharged a fresh
sago of lovers, younger, fairer• and better matelied, but neither so 11
'Finicky, nor so prodigal as the first. And whom, reader, might the
mimed pajr be ?—whom but a handsome well-favoured youth, and
she only daughter of the former bridegroom, who, is Neentge for btr
