What say you?

Who can tail to honor this no ble man, however differing on many subjects, who knows aught of him or his work, whatever his predilection for kings and courts. His publishers tailing with enor mous liabilities when Scott was fifty-five years old, his own oblige tions amounted to #600,000; yet he did not settle matters like many insolvent merchants otten do, but devoted the rest of his life to honestly paying his creditors to the last farthing due. By the in cessant activity of his great brain in six years he earned and paid off this immense sum, giving his very life to save his honor, so that in 1832, a short while before he died, he wrote: “I think I shall never walk again; but I must not com plain, tor my plan of settling my | debts has been, thank God, com pletely successful, and I have paid i But WB hae meat an’ we can eat, one hundred and twenty thousand j lot tlie boi,t be tliankit ' pounds, without owing any one a; Not on *y the natural beauty ot ha’penny" the P lace but history and legend His beauty of character and unitf) their cbarms to make Edin ’ purity of intention was strikingly bur £> b one tbe loveliest cities of illustrated in these words shortly J Euro P e - Tts strikin K Hkeness to before his death: “lam drawing i Athens no less than its & reat near to the close of my career. 11 brain P ower ' led t0 lts acc f u,red am fast shuffling off the stage.

In England is beautiful, undulating, green country, finely adapted to farming, but really devoted largely to cattle-raising (as more lucra tive), and no lofty mountains; in Scotland are here and there lovely spots and plains under cultivation, but ever and anon bleak and bar ren moors, rugged and rocky high lands, with the pinkish purple heather on every side, acres of bracken, great patches of moss like sponges filled with moisture from the clouds always sweeping o’er these mountains, a land truly for the lads and the lassies, grim yet withal interesting of visage, from its very contrasts challenging to labor and to battle. The coast is ragged and storm-swept, but the roads of Great Britain are of the finest in the world for walking or driving as you will. Scott’s words were never truer than when we crossed the border ot Scotland— •Stranger, wlmt dost thou require? Rest and guide, and food and Are.” And scarcely can one sit down to the morning meal ere, from the round of the yellow Scotch earth enware bowl containing oatmeal porridge, come the lines of Robert Burns ‘Some hae meat that canna eat, And some wad eat that want it, body—and when the hour of death Scotland, and County Hall near comes—that comes to high and site ol the old Talbooth, called low—then it is not what we have “the Heart of Midlothian," the done for ourselves, but that wejTron Church, Canongate (the have done for others—that we | name given to High Street from think on most pleasantly".)

I whs called upon to preach the fune ral sermon of a man who was a clerk in one of the great railroad oflloes. He had a beautiful little home, a lovely wife and child. He lived a life of simple, happy ease. In vain did insurance agents importune him to carry just a little insurance. He lived each week to the limit of his small salary, saving nothing. He refused to take insurance on account of tho expense. One day lie was sitting at his desk writing and whistling when sudden ly his whistling censed, Ids writing stopped, iiis head dropped forward on IiIh hook, and his heart, ever light and gay, ceased to throb. Whoa his accounts were footed up lie had nothing. The boys in the of fice had to buy Ids oofllii and defray all funeral expenses, and they were just ns poor as lie.
