How canny i. n scotchman.

From the Westminster Review.
One is not quite sure that. the religosity
Of the Scotch makes them SO much more
virtuous than people who pay less attention
to 1.-The means Of grace" But, while 1t can
not readily be proved that they have more
of the positive virtues than their neighbors,
there is. at least some reason to believe
that they are freer from few of the ugly
vices than their southron cousins; although
when the Scot Is bad he is very bad. When
he gives way to drink, for instance, he runs
to great lengths; and the percentage of
illegitimate births, too, is high In Scotland
But it will be found that there Is much less
beating (there being nothing. in Scot
land at all resembling the frightful practice
of "clogging" known in Lancashire towns),
much less cruelty to children, much more
kindliness and fellow-feeling- among the
Scottish people than among the Englishj
while. at the same time. the Scotch are not
nearly so clannish as the Irish, the Jews or
the Chinese.
In his poem en- Nothing Rochester has
classed Scotch civiiity' along with French
truth" and "Hibernian learning" as being
nonresident; even Walter Scott causes Mr.
Nicol Jarvie as that cross-grained crab
stick of the Saltmarket; and are we not
told that the term Scot" (as well as GaeD.
derived from word for wind" means
1.-The violent, stormy people?" In spite Of
all this, and much more to the same end,
the Scot, take him all in all, is not fairly
chargeable with being lacking in courtesy.
The word 'couthy" dhe opposite or positive
of 'uncouth," diminutived by the addition
Of the terminal ''y'o, signifying combina-
ton of quiet kindliness and sweetness Of
manner, has no English equivalent, and
thus would seem to indicate a. peculiarly
Scotch quality, which, 1t may be said, tends
to wane considerably with the growth Of
commercialfsm, giving place to a brusquery
peculiarly the outcome Of the rush Of
business. and what Carlyle called the mere
cash nexus' between man and man.
Scottish speech abounds in what may be
called pet words, which would seem to
testify that, whether the Scotch be stormy
and sharp-tongued or not, they can, upon
occasion, be as fnsinuatingly smooth
tongued as the willy italian himself.
