Captain D of the Peerless brought his beautiful little vessel from the Clyde in 6000 pieces, and is justly proud of her. I sat next him at dinner, and found that we knew some of the same people in Scotland. Gaelic was a further introduction; and though so many thousand miles away, for a moment I felt myself at home when we spoke of the majestic Cuchullins and the heathery braes of Balquidder.
It may be that he has attained a competence in Canada, and that its fertile soil produces crops which the heathery braes of Scotland would never yield no matter, it is yet his home! it is the land where his fathers sleep it is the land of his birth; his dreams are of the "mountain and the flood" of lonely lochs and mountain-girded firths; and when the purple light on a summer evening streams over the forest, he fancies that the same beams are falling on Morven and the Cuchullins, and that the soft sound pervading the air is the echo of the shepherd's pipe.
