Told II In Rhvme.

The late Rev. John Skinner, author
of ANNALS Of Scottish Episcopacy, I"
was first appointed to charge In Mon
trose whence he was removed to
Banff, and ultimately to Forfar. Aft.
er he had left Montrose 1t reached his
ears that an i'll natured insinuation
was circulating there that he had been
induced to leave this town by the
temptation of a better income and of
fat pork, which, 1t would appear, was
plentiful in the locality of his new in
cumbency. Indignant at such an as
persion, he wrote a letter, directed to
his maligners, vindicating himself
sharply from it, which he showed to
his grandfather, John Skinner of
Langside, for his approval The old
gentleman objected to 1t as too lengthy
and proposed the following pthy sub
stitute:
Had Skinner heen of carnal mind,
AS strangely ye suppose,
Or had he even been fond of swine
He'd ne'er have left Montrose.
