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
