The Charm In Scotch.

Iwondcr if persons who can write Scotch
are sufficiently aware of the great literary
advantage they have over writer's who are
not born to that ability. 1t is no credit to
them that they can do it. 1t is II gift TO
nature dropped in their lap. l never heard
OF any one who learned by artificial means
TO write Scotch. Scotch writer's do it, and
no one else. 1t has long been obvious that
the proportion of good writer's To the whole
Scotch population was exceedingly large,
but do not remember that it has ever
been pointed out how much easier il is for
Il Scotchman to bo Il good writer than an
other because OF his innate command of
the scotch tongue.
There are such delightful words in that
language; words that sing on the printed
page wherever their employer happens to
drop them in; words that rustic; words
that skirl, and words that clash and
thump. :

There is moro than one way of bcguiling

Mrs. Sunday, who keeps vtuY excellent

suspicious of young Nottingham, one of

locted the triiling forInality of paying her
any money, and she had prepared to speak
to him about it Saturday morning
But he saw the resolution written In her

the following advertisement to morning

Mrs. Sunday was out of his way and COM
fortably abcd. At tho breakfast table,
where he appeared fairly radiant in smiles
OF assurance, he confldcd to his ncighbor.
though for tho evident benefit of his land
lady, that half dozen men had called on
him the previous afternoon for his now
formula.
Formula for whnt?' asked tho nciah-
Dor.
But he intrcnchcd himself in mystery,
and only assured him that he had "caught
tho town"
AT o'clock two letters came for him.
at thcrc were half n dozen. BY night he
had received two dozen. And the land
lady, whose frowns had been black ms
Egypt in the morning, began TO look upon
him rs person of note.
She said nothing about his board bill
Monday morning, though he bearded her
boldly in tho hall and told her to take caro-
of any letters that might come for him.
There WAS an armful of them in the
evening, and Mrs. Sunday was moro than
gracious TO him. Tuesday he told her he
had used up all his materials and Dor
rowcd SO of her to purchase new sup
ply. Wednesday she told the other board
ers she was surprised that mono of them
had Mr.. Millingham's business ability.
And then one of them, in self defense.
turned up that advertisement. So that if
Nottingham ever does go back to Mrs. Sun
days boarding house he will learn her
opinion of n man who does business on a

THE ROANOKE TIMES, SATURDAY, JUNE :, 1895.
NsE CLOCK.

In tho silence of tho night.
II wakcn with alright
From dream that's full of terror and annoy
There's u sound that fills my heart
With melody of art
Full of beauty, full of pleasure, full of 10Y.
IT'S the steady "ticlz. tick. tock,"
Or my sturdy little clock,
AS IL sits across the room upon 4 shch,
And 1t says: Don't be afraid,
For I've closely by you staid
While you were off in the land OF drcons your
self.
with steady 'tick tick, tick
am never tired or sick
And count the minutes over rs thoy fly.
I'm the truest friend you've got,
And share your ev'ry lot,
And I'm ready to stand by you till you die"
It's q common sort of clock,
But like its lusty ''tock,'
And 1t fills my soul with courage by its song.
In the storm or cold or rain
hear its bright refrain
AS 1t faithfully pursucs its path along.
For 1t tells me to be truo
To each thing ! have to do
And no matter If the world applaud or scorn
That full soon must pass the night
And the sweet and precious light
be unfoldcd with the coming of tho morn.
