Scottish SoNGs AND THEIR WRITER'S :
Persons are apt to take it for granted that all
of our best-known Scottish songs are the pro-
ductions of Scottish writers. But this is far
from being fact. The famous Scotch ballad,
" "Roy's Wife" was written by Mrs. Grant,
an Irish lady of Carron. Every body is familiar
with it's perfect rhythm and its peculiar
musical accent.
Miss Blamire, who wrote AN Ye Shall
Walk in Silk Attire was Cumberland girl
Mrs Hamilton, who wrote My Ain Nreside,
was native of ireland, and Mrs. John Hunter
the author of My Mother Bids Me, was q
Yorkshi woman.
There's Nae Luck about the House" i,
often ascribed to Burns; but it was written by
Meikle the translator of CamoenS. Burn
saws of it, "This is one of the most beautiful
songs in the Scots or any other language"

HARD TIMES AND WHAT CAUSES THEM
We are fast becoming nation of SchemerS to
live without genuine work. Our boys are not
learning trades; our farmers sons are crowd
ing into cities, looking for clerkships and Post
Offices hardly one American girl in each hun
dred will do hOusewOrk for wages, however
urgent her need SO we are sending to Europe
for workmen aud buying of the artisans mil
lions worth of products that we ought to make
for ourselves. Though our crop Of rsscsls is
heavy we do not grow our own hemp; though
we are overrun with lads who deserve flag
COLLATION., we import our willows. Our women
(unless deceived shine in European fabrics !;
our men dress in foreign clothes the toys
which amuSe our younger children have
generally reached us over the sea. We are
like the farmer who hires his neighbOrs son to
chop his wood feed his stock, and run his
errands, while his own boys lounge at the grOg-
shop playing billiards, and then wonders why,
in spite of his best efforts, he sinks annually
deeper and deeper into debt, till the Sheriff
cleans him out, and he starts West to begin
again.
We must turn over a new leaf Our boys
and girls must be taught to love labor by quail
flying themselves to do it efficiently. We must
turn out fewer professionals and more skilled
artisans, as well as food growers. We must
grow and fabricate two hundred millions worth
per annum, that we now import, and so reduce
the foreign debt that we have so long and so
successfully augmented year by year. We
must qualify our clever boys to erect and
run factories, furnaces, rolling mills, tanneries,
machine shops, etc. to open and work mines,
improve and fashion implements, and double
the present product of their father farm. So
shall we stem the tide of dept that sets steadily
against our shores, and cease to be visited and
annoyed by hard times.-Ecchdnge

GOVERNMENTAL wealthy epicure applied

would restore his body to health and give hap
piness to his mind The physician advised
him to exchange shirts with man who was
perfectly conten,ed with his lot; upon which
the patient set out upon his journey in pursuit
of such person. After many months spent
without accomplishing his object, he was told
of a certain cobbler of whom every one had
spoken as a model of contentment and hGppi-
ness. Pursuing the direction given, the traveller
was pleased with the sight Of the cobbler enjoy
ing comfortable nap on board Without
ceremony he was aroused from his slumbers,
and the important inteYEogatory whether he
was conlented with his lot was answered in the
affirmative
Then said the seeker after happiness,

this means | also may become contented and
''Most gladly would accede to yourrequest," "

We would whisper in their ears.

Between the eras of swaddling bands

period Of few years when arms and limbs
could climb trees and scale heights like their
prOgenitors mentioned by Darwin, and muscle, |
sinew and blood bade fair to hold their own. |
The little bareheaded, tanned girl Of ten years, !
as:ride brideiess and saddleless horse, or pad !
ding down the stream on raft OF her own
constructing, had a season of pure animal en-
joyment, and it was thought enough if she
grew plump and rosy, was ''eary to bed and
early to rise, and could sing the fives to
the tune Of Yankee Doodle. She must have
been far in her teens, or out of them, be-
fore she caught a glimpse Of the model young
lady with tapering waist, pinched feet, fasti
dious appetite, and a general air of languOr
pervading every movement and utterance.
She looked upon the lay-hgure with admira-
ton, and forthwith commenced remodeling

good start, and she would not yield to Art

A Conscientious Radical Politician.

IL is so seldom that one of the above sort comrs to the notice of the public, we think we san afford to mention the case of John F. Driggs, who recently ran against Judge Southcrland (Dem.) for Congress, in M'chl- gan. NIT. Driegs was defeated, but his polit- ical friends urged him to contest, and here lS what he said to their proposition:
 "It is enough for me to know that dld no, receive a majority If all the votes, and that Mr. Southerand did. If, therefore, he should be refused certificate. and even seat in Congress. and both should b" con, ceded Co me. under no circumstances would l consent to accept position to which was no, elected by the people In such a pos'lbl" contingency, I should favor new election to ill the vacancy"
