"See Inebriety, Her Wand She Waves, And Lo! Her Pale And Lo! Her Purple Slaves."--Crabbe. I Was Joined In The Course Of A Few Weeks, In Peggy Russel's One-Roomed Cottage, By Another Lodger--Lodgers Of The Humbler Class Usually Consociating Together In Pairs. My New Companion Had Lived For Some Time, Ere My Arrival At Niddry, In A Neighbouring Domicile, Which, As He Was What Was Termed A "Quiet-Living Man," And As The Inmates Were Turbulent And Unsteady, He Had, After Bearing A Good Deal, Been Compelled To Quit. Like Our Foreman, He Was A Strict Seceder, In Full Communion With His Church. Though Merely A Common Labourer, With Not More Than Half The Wages Of Our Skilled Workmen, I Had Observed, Ere Our Acquaintance Began, That No Mason In The Squad Was More Comfortably Attired On Week-Days Than He, Or Wore A Better Suit On Sunday; And So I Had Set Him Down, From The Circumstance, As A Decent Man.

"Ye Gentlemen Of England, Who Live At Home At Ease, Oh, Little Do Ye Think Upon The Dangers Of The Seas."--Old Song. Rather More Than Eighty Years Ago, A Stout Little Boy, In His Sixth Or Seventh Year, Was Despatched From An Old-Fashioned Farm-House In The Upper Part Of The Parish Of Cromarty, To Drown A Litter Of Puppies In An Adjacent Pond. The Commission Seemed To Be Not In The Least Congenial. He Sat Down Beside The Pool, And Began To Cry Over His Charge; And Finally, After Wasting Much Time In A Paroxysm Of Indecision And Sorrow, Instead Of Committing The Puppies To The Water, He Tucked Them Up In His Little Kilt, And Set Out By A Blind Pathway Which Went Winding Through The Stunted Heath Of The Dreary Maolbuoy Common, In A Direction Opposite To That Of The Farm-House--His Home For The Two Previous Twelvemonths.
