Love o; Husic and Poetry.

Into his Punishment Macpherson
had carried with him 4 love of music
and poetry, and a violin was his COM
Uanion throughout his wanderingS.
His musical gifts won for him the
frieidship of chiefs and clansmen only
n degree less lawless than himself.
and he was frequently present at the
contests of Highland musicians. AT
festive gatherings he was noted per
former. and when the dancers had be-
come weary Macpherson would bring
out his violin. and play airs of his
own composition until day broke TO
surprise him and a few choice spirits.
His depredations having become too
2udaciouS. endeayOrs were made To
apprehend this notorious freebooter.
Once he was captured. and immured
IT, Aberdeen Jail. but was liberated by
one of his fathers relations. in con-
cert with a gypsy, and literally cut
his way through the crowd. finally
escaping on horseback. Shortly after
wards he had the audacity To attend
market at Ranff with several of his
followers. A body of soldiers was
dispatched quietly to the scene. and
tie outlaws were taken by surprise.
MACPHERSON broke loose. and with mis-
great strength, aided by his sword.
defied all attempts To retake him.
Finding the military at a loss, the
good burgesses were fain to come To
the rescue with blankets. which were
thrown over his head and blinded.
with his assailants thronging on ali
sides. Macpherson was compelled to
fly. Closely pursued. he reached the
gable Of a church. and Nth his back
against a wall. held his opponents at
hay. but fell at last over a tombstone.
and was secured.
The formality was gone through Of
trying the freebOoters in the Sheriff
Court. The proceedings were opened
by the prisoners being commanded to
recite the Lords Prayer, an order
with which these outlaws found some
difficulty in complying. Three of the
band escaped with Imprisonment. but
the fate of James Macpherson and of
his principal followers, was a fore
gone conclusion.

No reply being forthcoming, he

Literature is the poorer for the
failure of Sir Walter Scott to carry
out his intention of writing In novel
form the deeds of this splendid out
law. In later days two giants of wide
" divergent minds Joined hands over
his fate; Carlyle has recorded the I'M
preston made upon Alfred Tennyson
by the story, followed by the playing
OF the lament, a tune las tough as
