To think the lad should have made so able an appearance, and then bolted off this gate, after a glaiket ne'er-do-weel, like a hound upon a false scent! Las-a-day! it's a sore thing to see a stunkard cow kick down the pail when it's reaming fou. But, after all, it's an ill bird that defiles its ain nest. I must cover up the scandal as well as I can. What's the matter now, James?

On the evening of Saturday, the 13th of the month, sundry of the yeomen who lived thereabouts assembled at Lapierre's, after a hard week's work, to congratulate one another on the prospects of the harvest, and to discuss a few tankards of the reaming ale for which the Royal Oak was famous throughout the township.

Numerous ingenious inventions have been made by Edison providing for a variety of rapid and economical methods of duplication, including methods of shrinking a newly made copy to facilitate its quick removal from the mold; methods of reaming, of forming ribs on the interior, and for many other important and essential details, which limits of space will not permit of elaboration.

And every ell of that triumph shall be mine, sir,-ay, every inch!" Brimming over with enthusiasm, I pledged his coming greatness in a reaming glass of Malaga. "Alack," he cried, "an' they all had your faith, laddie, a fig for the prophecy! Ya maun ken th' incentive's the maist o' the battle." There was more of wisdom in this than I dreamed of then.

'But now the burn comes down apace, Roaring and reaming, And for the wee birdies' sang Wild howlets screaming. Don't you see how the picture would be spoilt, and the story of complete contrast left untold? I have taken advisedly an extreme and, therefore an unlikely case of halting imagination.

In the first place, if Belle View were not burned, I should hardly feel safe in having the crowd there with conditions as they are and things are not especially pleasant in this city. However, how long will it take to get away from here, Captain?" "We must take on some coal, and Hendrickson has drawn the fires and is reaming in some new boiler-tubes.

So, while the Count stood by the fire, and Paulina Mary still danced to and fro happy in the liberty of the wide hall-like kitchen Mrs. Bretton herself instructed Martha to spice and heat the wassail-bowl, and, pouring the draught into a Bretton flagon, it was served round, reaming hot, by means of a small silver vessel, which I recognised as Graham's christening-cup.

And every ell of that triumph shall be mine, sir,-ay, every inch!" Brimming over with enthusiasm, I pledged his coming greatness in a reaming glass of Malaga. "Alack," he cried, "an' they all had your faith, laddie, a fig for the prophecy! Ya maun ken th' incentive's the maist o' the battle." There was more of wisdom in this than I dreamed of then.

The new-comer of the kilts was after all no Naiad or Hebe. Her outlines did not resemble to any marked degree the plates in his excellent classical dictionary. She was not short in stature, but so strong and of a complexion so ruddily beaming above the reaming white which filled the blanket tub, that her mirthful face shone like the sun through an evening mist.

She did not stay to retaliate, but re-entered in a minute, bearing a reaming silver pint, whose contents I lauded with becoming earnestness. And afterwards she furnished me with the sequel of Heathcliff's history. He had a 'queer' end, as she expressed it. I was summoned to Wuthering Heights, within a fortnight of your leaving us, she said; and I obeyed joyfully, for Catherine's sake.
