Doan Ramsay's Reminiscences--The Essence of Scottish Pleasantry Clerical Vantering--Pithy Repartee Love of Liquor. A sixth edition of Dean Ramsay's "Rominiscences of Scottish Life and Character," has boon published. The rambling but authentic and vivacious pages of this volume sparkle with the quaint sayings and eccentric doings of coming Seots men, in all ranks of society. The Dean draws from other sources, but very largely from his own expori.. ence of fifty years. A number of anecdotes are here given: There is no doubt that Scottish pleasantry is scarcely separable from the dialect which clotbes it, and it may have been this circum stance which led Sydney Smith to affirm the absolute non-existence of wit and humor in Scotland. He used to say it required a surgical operation to get a joke well into a Scotch understanding, and that a Scotchman's only idea of wit was laughing immoderately at stated intervals. Charles Lamb had the same notion, and used to defend it by his own experience at a party in the North, whore he was asked to meet a son of Burns. While they were waiting for the latter's ap - pearance, Lamb happened to re mark, in his dry monotone, "I wish it had been the father instead of the son," upon which four Scotchmen present with one voice exclaimed, "That's impossible, for he's dead." The pungency comes from the &ottishnes8, from the sly, indo pendent, unconcerned spirit of thp Scottish people. Take, for instance, the characteristic answer given by a countryman to a traveler who, being doubtful of his way, inquired if he was on the right road to Dunkold. With some of the national inquisi tiveness, the peasant asked his inquirer where he came from. Offended at this liberty, the stranger sharply reminded the man that where he came from was nothing to him. But all the answer to be got out of the Scotchman was the quiet rejoinder, "Indeed, then, it's just as little to me whar yo'r gauen." We find the same quanLity of dry indifference in the answer which Doan Ramsay heard given to a follow traveler. A gentleman sitting opposite to him in a etage coach complained that the cushion was wet, and, looking up to the roof, discovered a hole, which at once accounted for the mischief. In great wrath he reproached the coachman for the evil under which he suffered, and pointed to the hole which was the cause of it, but all the satisfaction he got was the un moved reply, "Ay, mony a mon has complained of that hole."- Anid here we may cite an example of the cool view o f apecuniary transaction expressed to Dean Ramsay's father by a tenant on rent day. Looking over a bundle of notes wvhich had just beon handed to hirh, Mr. Ram-. say said in bunter : "James, the notes are not correct ;" to which the farmer answered dryly: "I dinna ken what they may be noo, but they were a' richt afore ye had your fingers in amang 'em." We find a number of anecdotes pointed against houses wanting in a liberal and hospitable expenditure. Thus we are told of a master having a mansion of this kind, and taxing his servant with being drunk. On this occasion the latter was innocent of the charge, having had no op portunity to transgress. So when his mastor asserted, "Jemmy, you're drunik," Jemmy dolefully answered, "Indeed, sir, I wish I wur." At anotber house, notorious for scanty faro, a gentleman was inquiring of the gardener about a dog which some time before he had given to the laird. The gardener showed him~ a 1ignk greyhound, on whiej the gentlenian said, "No, no, the dog I gave your master. waer .a mastiff, not a greyhound." To wvhich the gardener returne4l grave ly, "Indeed, sir, ony dog mnioht sunie bomen a greyhonit4 by Mtayping farmer in the afternoon when the services were over, and his appetite was so sharp that he thought it - necessary to apologize. "You see, he said, "I am always very hungry after preaching." The old gentle man not much admiring the youth's pupit ministrations, and having heard this apology two or three times, at last repli+.l, "Indeed, sir, I'm not surpris:d at it, considering the trash that comes aft' your stamnach in tho imorning." On an other occasion a clergyman, ob serving the parish idiot sitting wide awake in the front gallery while many were slumbering . tound him, thought to shame his hearers into attention by stating the fact. "Tou see even Jomnmy Fraser, the idiot, does not fall asleep, as so many of you are doing." Jamie, not liking, perhaps, to be thus designated, shouted back, "An I had na been an idiot, I wad ha' been sleeping too." There was often, no doubt, a sharp conflict of wits when some humorist ministers caine into col lision with waggish members of their flock. The consequent inter change of banter is exemplified in the following anecdote: A minister in the North was taking to task one of his hearers who was a frequent absentee, and the accused defended himself on the plea of a dislike to long sermons. "'Deed, man," said his reverend monitor, a little net. tled at the insinuation, "if ye dinna mend, ye may land yorsol where ye'l1 na be troubled wi' many sermons, either long or short." "Wool, aiblins [perhaps] sne," retorted . John, "but it may na be for want o' ministers." Many pithy and facetious replies are recorded of a clergyman in the South usually distinguiished as "WVatty Dunlop.' On one occasion two irreverent young fellows determined, as they said, to "taigle" [tackle] the minis. ter. Coining up to him in the high street of Dumnfries, they accosted him.with much solemnity, "Maister Dunlop, dao ye hear the news ?" "Vhat news ?" "Oh, the ,ae'il's dead." '-Is lie ?" said Mr. Dunlop ; "then I mann pray for twa faither less bairns." In another case the game of repartee wont against the parson. A Mr. Shira lost one of his parishioners, a very decent, douco shoemaker who left the Kirk ,:"t and joined the Independents. Some time afterward, when Mr. Shira met John on the road, he said, "And so, John, I understand ye hae becomo an Independent ?" "'Deed, sir," replied John, "that's true." "Oh, John," said the clergyman, "I'm sure ye ken that a rewin' (rolling) stane gathers nae fog (moss)." "Aye," said John, "That's true too ; but can ye tell me what gude the fog does to the stano?" This same Mr. Shira was well known from the whimsical parenthetical comments which he introduced in his reading. o Sr of Scripture; as, for example, oI repeati,ng from the 116th psa1lm, "I , said in my haste all men are liars," he observed, sota.O voce, "Indeed, Dauvid, an' ye had lived in this parish, ye might hae said it at your leisure." ' Among the reminip'ences gath.. ored in this volumeosome of the most interesting relate to the domestic . habits of the peasant class. A poor man, we are informed, came to his minister for the purpose of 'being married. The clergyman assthted him that if he married it must be for botter and worse. Ere long he came back very disconsolate and insisted that the marriage bond could not hold good, for the 'wife was "waur than the devil." The minister demurred, saying that was quite impossible. "Na," said the poor man, "the Bible tells ye that if ye resist the devil he flees frae ye, but if ye resiht her, she flees at ye." According to Dr. Ramsay, there 1 is. a tradition in Edinburgh that David Hlume on one occasion,,lipped from the path into a swamp tnen. ,~ existing at the back of 'the' castle. Here the philosopher s'tdeok fast and ' called for assistance to a peasant' who happened to be .passing. "Are na ye Hume, the atheist 7" she said. "Well, well, no matter," said Hn~me "Christian charity comniands ydai to C do good to every otne.", "Ohristian, "4 hero, or Christian ther'e,". repli0d - the woman, "TIll do nWJhing for ye till. ye turn a Chrspiari ygep14 Ye --' maun repeat the Lord's Prayer atid the Creed, or, faith, Ill let -o,.' as fe4y..Te e beiely afraid fdr be li~e w - of#Wehear'se the o
