The Scotch King and His Minister.

Generally speaking, the Scotch en-
joy persiflage, and the Irish are apt to
take fire at it. After mess-dinner of
the Twenty-first, Royal North Brit
ish Fusileers), always gallant and
gentlemanly corps, of very national
character, there had been a good deal
of proud reflection upon the stern faith
of the North Britons, in their treaties
with other powers. A lively boy who
had recently Joined, observed to some
of the elders that he had n legend in
confirmation of the claim, and narrated
it accordingly.
Few of our histories refer to very
sanguinary war that subsisted between
an early Scotch king and king of the
Lands End. Scottish valor prevailed,
and news was brought of the complete
success of an expedition against the
Cornish strongholds. The monarch
was elated beyond measure, and send
ing for his principal advisor, Lord
Alexander -, addressed him:
"Well, Sandy, is there any other
King can bring to submission the
noo?n
can it please your Majesty, there
is but ane King whom you can nae
vanquish.n
zane King that can nae vanquish! !!
An What's the mon?n
~ mean, your Majesty, the King of
Haven"
"Haven! Haven! Whar's that
Sandy?n
His lordship pointed to the sky, and
then bowed becoming to his royal
master, who did not quite compre-
hend what was meant, and feared to
betray geographical ignorance by
inqniring more particular than he
had already done.
"Nae matter, Sandy; gang and tell
the King o. Haven thar gin he does
ma surrender his dominions at once,
pll come and bang him out of them.
An mind, my lord, you dinna show
your face before us until you have
done your bidding"
This was an embarrassing position
for the young favorite, who knew
that expOstulatiOn, or even explanation
was too dangerous to be attempted at
such moment. He therefore retired
submissively and consulted a priest.
This progenitor of Lydia consoled him
by the assurance that, on an occasion
of the kind, it was quite allowable to
tranquilize monarch of weak under
standing by putting an artificial con-
struction on certain passages of scrip
ture. Lord Alexander appeared, ac-
cordingly, in the royal presence, and
was instantly observed by his gracious
master.
"Well, Sandy, and what says the
King o. Haven?"
"Please your Majesty, haue nae
seen himself. but 1 have conferred
with ane O. his accredited ministers,
and he solemnly engages that your
Majesty may hae his kingdom for
asking for"
"Was he sac ceevil?" inquired the
monarch, warmed to magnanimity
by the assurance; "then cen gang yor
gait there once more, and tell the
Kink o. Haven that for his ceevility
nae Scotchman shall ever set 70 OF in
his kingdom
