ents must express exactly what was suitable
to be said on such an occasion.
On the great Scottish festival of Hand
sci Monday, one of the young people anbu-
ally presented an ode as poet-laureale Then /
Sir John, seated in great dignity beside La |
dy Sinclair, placed his family in semicir-
Gle before ,hem aud, after making a short
speech to all in succession, expressive of
his satisfaction with their conduct during
Tie pas, year, he formally delivered a gilt
to each. One of these laureate odes, pre-
sented by a poet trembling with excitement
and bursting with laughter taken at hazard
from the mass, and given without the alter
alton or omission of word, may afford
some notion of the good humored terms in
which Sir John liked his children to adj
dress HIM -

81 s time Tor me TO make my BOW,
