A VETERAN SCOT.


Died at Dumfries, on the Sd instant,
James M'Kay, pensioner, aged 90.
He was about 40 years in the army, Is
ofwhich he spent in the 72d, and 20 in
the AZ Highland regiment. James was
feelingly alive whenever his honor was
called in question. A gentleman in
Dumfries, with whom he was house
servant, having few friends to-dinner
one day, and knowing James's weak
side, contriyed to change the discourse
on his entering into the room with a
load of plates, and began declaiming,
with much severity, on the base and
cowardly conduct Of the 42d regiment
in having turned tail and fed before an
inferior number Of Yankees, on GER
tain supposed occasion. James, as
was expected, stopped short on hearing
this calumny against his darling corps,
and, looking his master full in the face,
the fire flashing from his eyes, he I'M
mediately, in the genuine Highland ae-
cent, exclaimed, "Its lee, Sir; a say,
its a tam'd lee-an' ye'er a. Got tam'd
leears tegither." He concluded by
dashing the plates on the floor, and did
what he had never done before an enc
my, fled, from the presence of his mas
ter in high wrath, which it required
some time to appease.

During the war before last, an English

ANEcDoTE.

The following incident really fell out
in an Essex stage-coach few years ago.
Two passengers set out from their inn
in London, early on December morn.
1t was dark as pitch; and one of them
not being sleepy, and wishing for q
little conversation, endeavoured, in the
usual travelling mode, to stimulate his
neighbour to discourse. "a very
dark morn, Sir: Shocking cold weather
for travelling: Slow going in these
heavy roads, SIR" None of these
questions producing word Of answer,
the sociable man made one more effort.
He stretched out his hand, and feeling
the others habit, exclaimed" What

got to travel in :" No answer was
made; and the enquirer, fatigued and
disguised, fell INTO sound nap, nor

MRS. MONTAGUE AND Mr.. FOX.

Mrs. Montague was lately conversing
with Mr.. Fox, in her o,cn house; the
subject probably was politics, at least
there is no subject on which they are
less likely to agree. In the course OF
their conversation the lady grew warm;
at last she was so much nettled by some
remark of Mr.. Fox's, that she declared
to him, she did not care three skips Of
louise for him. Mr.. Fox turned a.
side, and in few moments produced
the following impromptu:
1 do not care for you three skips Of louise.

Still talk most ofthat, which runs most in their

MISCELLANY.
LA FAYETTE IN AMERICA.
~ n rJ.. IL, D.o,o

From the Glasgow Free Press.
This distinguished patriot, whose
incorruptible integrity and unflinchins
prowess have poured flood Of glory
over the dark periods of the French
Revolution, has been received by a ma
ton of freemen in way that gladdens
evey friend of liberty, and will glitter
in the pages of history. The whole
country, vast as It's, seems filled with
spirit of enthusiasm towards the
GUEST OF THE NATION the survivor
of the fall of Despotism-the witness
of the glory of a new age in America
and, we trust, bright and shining
star to direct the destinies OF many a
nation in Europe. 1t is true, the Lon
don Courier-the hired advocate OF all
that is base and slavish-feels sore at
beholding the homage paid by'an i'm
mense people to an illustrious man, but
the true friends of liberty that is sub
stantial in its base, and enlightened in
its operations-that is not vile IN Its
objects or violent in its means-must
rejoice, greatly rejoice, at the way in
which La FAYETTE has been received.
1t is cheering to perceive how freedom
will act-how its spirit will move up
on the face of the waters-and from the
chaotic mass into which Despotism or
Anarchy may plunge mankind, produce
a beautiful and orderly system, that
shall command the admiration OF the
present, and imitation Of all future
