Maggie and Angus stood on one side of them, Allan on the other. He was as yet unseen, but half-a-dozen steps would bring them together. Maggie was by this time in a passion. "It is weel for you, Angus Raith, that my fayther is at the bottom o' the sea," she said. "If Will was alive, or John, or Sandy, this day, ye hadna daured to open your ill mouth to me."

"Yes, Sammul," said Betty, laughing and crying at the same time; "but I made a bargain with John, when we swopped hearts, as I were to leave a little bit of mine left me still for fayther and our Sammul." Thomas Johnson looked at the whole group with a face radiant with happiness, and then said, "The Lord bless them. They've been all good childer to me."

Fayther regrets emezingly he caint come, being called to attend the Duchess of Dilborough. He! he! he! he!" As we have already said that it was in pure compliment to the father that the son was invited, and not at all for the sake of his own company, his presence was a grievous aggravation of the disappointment. The next knock announced Miss Snubbleston. But where was her carriage?

"Mebbe I spoke a mite too free about your fayther, Austen," he said; "you and him seem kind of different." "The Judge and I understand each other," answered Austen. He had got as far as the door, when he stopped, swung on his heel, and came back to the bedside. "It's my duty to tell you, Zeb, that in order to hush this thing up they may offer you more than you can get from a jury.

When a rapping-storm was at its height in Wisconsin, one of our neighbors, an old Scotchman, remarked, "Thay puir silly medium-bodies may gang to the deil wi' their rappin' speerits, for they dae nae gude, and I think the deil's their fayther."

A short time after it became generally known that Johnson was to speak, a young lad might be seen hurrying home in his coal-pit-clothes to a low, dirty-looking cottage that stood on the outskirts of the village. "Mother," cried the boy, as soon as he reached the house and could recover his breath, "where's fayther?" "He's not come home yet," said the mother; "but what ails you, John?"

It tholes storms, and is glad in the sunshine, and if it didna bear fruit, when it was weel cared for, it wad deserve to be cut doon and burnt. My bonnie rose bush didna ask me to plant it, yet it is bending wi' flowers for my pleasure. Your fayther will hae the right to say what you shall do to pay back his love and care." "But when I do not love the lady I am desired to marry?" "Tuts!"

Open the gate, I say, or I'll make you. 'Do let her alone, dear, I entreated, fearing a mutual assault. 'She has been ordered, may be, not to open it. Is it so, my good girl? 'Well, thou'rt not the biggest fool o' the two, she observed, commendatively, 'thou'st hit it, lass. 'And who ordered you? exclaimed Milly. 'Fayther. 'Old Pegtop.

'Brice said, Miss, he saw Dudley a-cryin' and lookin' awful black, and says he to fayther, "'Tisn't in my line nohow, an' I can't;" and says fayther to he, "No one likes they soart o' things, but how can ye help it? The old boy's behind ye wi' his pitchfork, and ye canna stop." An' wi' that he bethought him o' Brice, and says he, "What be ye a-doin' there?

Then she stilled it, and Allan saw that the hand she laid upon it trembled violently. "You should gae hame, sir; and you should be as plain and trustful wi' your cousin, as you hae been wi' me. Tell the leddy just hoo you love her, and ask her to tak' you, even though you arena deserving o' her. Your fayther canna blame you if she willna be your wife.
