I'LL Ma TaUsT Yg.

Two centuries ago it was thought an
insult In the Highlands of Scotland 10
ask note from debtor. It was consid-
erod the same as saying, Il doubt your
bonos." If parties had business matters
to transact, they stepped into the air,
1xed their eyes upon the heavens, and
each repeated his obligation, with no
mortal witness. 4 mark was then carved
on some rook OF tree near by, as romem-
brsnoe of the compact, Such thing as
breach OF contract Was rarely met with,
50 highly did tho people regard their
honor
When the march Of improvement
brought the now mode Of doing business,
they were often panied by these innova-
tlons. An anecdote is handed down Of q
farmer who had been to the Lowlands
and learned worldly wisdom. On return
ing to his native parish he had need of a
sum of money, and made bold to ask a
loan of gentleman of means, named
Stewart. This WAS cheerfully granted,
and MI. s. counted out the gold. This
done, the farmer wrote q receipt, and
offered 1t to tho gentleman.
"W hat is this, man 2" cried Mr. Stew
art, sternly cycling the slip Of paper.
''lt Is receipt, sir, binding me to give
ye back yer gold st the right time" re-
plid Sandy. -1.#
Binding ye? Well, my man, If ye
Gamma trust yerself I'm sure I'll ma trust
ye2 Ye Gamma ha' my goldp And
gathering it up, he put it back in his desk
and turned his key on it.
"But, sir, | might die" replied The
canny Scotchman, bringing UP an argu
ment in favor of his new wisdom, "ant
my sons might refuse It ye. But this bi
OF paper Wad compel them"
Compel them to sustain dead faith
er's honory" cried the Scot. "Theyl
need compelling to do right, if this is th
road yer leading them! III neither trus
