For two whole weeks she kept her bed, an' was sae ill that the doctor despaired o' her life; and when she did come amang us agen, the rose had faded aff her cheek, an' the light frae her sweet blue e'e, an' she spak' in a low, subdued voice; but she never accused him o' being the cause o' her grief. One day she called me aside and said
You maun ken him up yonder, tending the blazing logs. "Whiles Jeanie was strivin' to look in the direction which the woman pointed out, an' could na see through the tears that blinded her e'e, the driver jumped down frae the cart, an' asked the puir lass whar he sud leave her trunks, as it was getting late, and he must be aff.
If it were only for her sake, I wish he would come, and then at least I should know how much I was abased in his eyes. 'Then proudly, proudly up she rose, Tho' the tear was in her e'e, "Whate'er ye say, think what ye may, Ye's get na word frae me!" SCOTCH BALLAD. It was not merely that Margaret was known to Mr.
"Glenogie understand it, any way," said she, blithely, "and naturally he rode off at once to see his dying sweetheart. "'Pale and wan was she, when Glenogie gaed ben, But rosy-red grew she when Glenogie sat down. She turned away her head, but the smile was in her e'e, Oh, binna feared, mither, I'll maybe no dee." She shut the piano.
It may be remarked that the well-known boys' game of "Through the needle's e'e, boys," had its origin in all likelihood in the old superstition. Thus we can trace the use made of the Bocca della Verita in Rome to the primitive idolatry associated perhaps with the Temple of Ceres that formerly stood on the spot.
Geli's bell, and from behind the red curtains of a public-house some one trolled out a compatriot of Burns, again! "The saut tear blin's my e'e." Next morning there were sun and a flapping wind. From the street-corners of Maybole I could catch breezy glimpses of green fields.

The ballad begins thus: "When the sheep are in the fauld and the ky at hame, And a' the weary warld to rest are gane, The waes of my heart fa' in showers frae my e'e, While my gude-man lies sound by me." After each verse there is a long revery, sung in vague notes, without words, which lulls the heart with unspeakable melancholy, and brings tears into the eyes and voice.
"The thresher's weary flinging-tree The lee-lang day had tired me: And whan the day had closed his e'e, Far i' the west, Ben i' the spence, right pensivelie, I gaed to rest." Queechy was reached at night. Fleda had promised herself to be off almost with the dawn of light the next morning to see aunt Miriam, but a heavy rain kept her fast at home the whole day.
At the hour appointed, Jeanie, dressed in white, was led out by the town- officers, and in the midst of the magistrates from among the ladies, with her hands tied behind her with a black riband. At the first sight of her at the tolbooth stairhead, a universal sob rose from all the multitude, and the sternest e'e couldna refrain from shedding a tear.
