"Ye will be havin' the dogs on us," says Dan in a low voice; "and there's folks here that are unfreens o' mine." "Alaister Jock has weans enough to do without the dogs," says Ronny, "for dogs are unchancy beasts in the smuggling nights, and Alaister himsel' will be always up wi' the drake's dridd."

If she be the person described in this warrant, and this gentleman's daughter, I must surrender her to the laws of the country." Here the Esculapian militia were once more in motion. "Surrender, Dr. Gray! It's a shame to hear you speak, and you that lives by women and weans, abune your other means!" so exclaimed his fair better part.

"Me no muckle to fight for, sir? isna there the country to fight for, and the burnsides that I gang daundering beside, and the hearths o'the gudewives that gie me my bit bread, and the bits o' weans that come toddling to play wi' me when I come about a landward town? Deil!" he continued, grasping his pike-staff with great emphasis, "an I had as gude pith as I hae gude-will, and a gude cause, I should gie some o' them a day's kemping."

And we ought not to send the orphan weans o' the kirk to the warkhouse; we ought to hae a hame for them, and our sick ought to be better looked to. There is many another good thing to do, but we'll begin wi' these, and the rest will follow." The laird had listened thus far in speechless indignation. He now stood still, and said,

"Stop, my auld frien, they that in this parish need a bell this day to call them to the service of their Maker winna come on the summons o' yours." He then walked in; and the old man, greatly affected, mounted the stool, and tied up the rope to the ring in the wall in his usual manner, that it might be out of the reach of the school weans.

I can help people; I can injure people. Consequently humanity is the only real religion. I cannot better close this lecture than by quoting four lines from Robert Burns: "To make a happy fireside clime To weans and wife That's the true pathos and sublime Of human life." INGERSOLL'S LECTURE ON SKULLS, And His Replies To Prof. Swing, Dr. Collyer, And Other Critics Reprinted from "The Chicago Times."

Some of the farmers were loading their carts to go home, when the schools skailed, and all the weans came shouting to the market.

Robert Burns, poet of love and liberty, and from his heart, like a spring gurgling and running down the highways, his poems have filled the world with music. They have added luster to human love. That man who, in four lines, gave all the philosophy of life To make a happy fireside clime For weans and wife Is the true pathos and Sublime Of human life he is there with the rest.

It weans them from revolutionary notions, and makes them conservative. When workmen, by their industry and frugality, have secured their own independence, they will cease to regard the sight of others' well-being as a wrong inflicted on themselves; and it will no longer be possible to make political capital out of their imaginary woes.

The small-pox came in among the poor bits o' weans of the parish, and the smashing it made among them was woeful.
