SCOTCH SIMPLICITY.
The Mason, the Budding Architect
and n Conscience Stricken Lad.

The Mason, the budding Architect
and n Conscience Stricken Lad.
The Scotch are fond of telling stories
which illustrate the peculiar simplicity
of mind of their country people. This
simplicity at least saves them from
wicked guile.
One of these stories relates that an
honest mason once had q contract to
build small house of stone. He came
early and began from the inside to lay
the stone, working very fast. At noon
his young son brought him his dinner,
peeping over the wall as he handed the
basket to his father With honest pride
in his eye, the mason looked over to the
boy.
"Weel. Jock, hoo dye think I'm
gettin on?'' he asked.
"Ye're getting on famous, feyther, :"
answered Jock, looking at the solid
wall, in which there was no break
"But hoo dye get oot2'
The mason looked around. 1t was
true. He had provided the house with
no door at all, and he was on the inside
He looked kindly and very admiringly
at the boy.
'Mon, Jock, ye've grand held on
ye!'' he exclaimed. Yell be an archi-
tect yet, as sure as yer feyther's ma
son''
Another story shows how unsuccess-
full as thief the rustic Scot may be-
Two young plowmen went into gar
den at night to steal gooseberries. The
bushes surrounded a plot of potatoes,
and as one of the lads groped about he
got a handful of potato plums; which
he quickly put into his mouth. Then he
gasped to his comrade:
"Oh, Jock, I'm poisoned! For ony
sake, shove me through the hedge again,
for I waudna like to dee i the auld
mans garden Youth Companion.
