The Light Guitar; THE CORONATION, AND The Isle of Beauty. GLASGOW, PRINTED FOR THE BOOKSELLERS. �The Jaunting Car. I oft have heard of the old man, but now I'm fix'd at last I wish grim death had catch'd him before the knot was cast— Iwishgrim death had watch'd him and taken him at a call Then I a young man would have got to roll me from the wall. When I go to fair or market, I think the time full long, My heart is always sorry when I see my poor oldman; �3 My heart is always sorry, and I'l1 tel you the reason why, His brow is always hanging down, he carries a jealous eye. Oholdyour tongue dear Sally; till I shall go to town, 1 will buy you a lap dog, likewise a muslin' gown— I'll buy for you a lap dog to follow you when you call, And of all the ladies in the land, you wi1 exceed them all. To the devil with yourlapdog, your jaunting car likewise; I would rather have a young man with two bright sparkling eyes— I would rather have a young man without a penny at all— Because he'd take me in his arms and roll me from the wall. The deuce may take my parents, for they've done me meikle ill, They've married me to an old man, and sore against my will ; I'd rather have a young man. without a penny at all, �4 That would fondly take me in his arms, and roll me from the wall. Some of my friends do tell me to drown him in a well, And others fain would have me to grind him in a mill ; But I will take my own way, and tie him to a stake, And if a wizard he should prove, some mischief will him take. Now my old man is dead and gone, and he has left to me Twelve thousand pounds of money, a handsome legacy, His houses and his lands also, to me he's left them all, And I have got a fine young man to roll me from the wall. When the honey month was over, my spouse began to brawl, My tea pots and my china, he soon did break them all; He kill'd my little lap dog that follow'd me at my call, And now I suffer sorely for the rolling from the wall. �5 Come al1 you pretty fair maids a warning take by me Whate'er may be your station— of high or low degree— It's better to be an old man's pet with servants at our call, Than to be any young man's slave for the rolling from the wall. The Coronation. At home in our village when we'd done our daily labour, The barber every night would read the news to each good neighbour : 1 heard it all, I did not wait for feyther's approbation, I started up to Lunnun town to see the Coronation. Tol lol lol, &c. Well, there I got and just at first I felt myself quite flustered To see, all round Westminster, such lots of people mustered ; But, howsomdever, in the crowd I got myself a station, And there I waited anxiously to see the Coronation, Tol lol lol, &c. �6 Somehow a soldier's prancing horse he took fright at a dandy, And capered in among the crowd, so frolicsome and handy— I wur carried off my legs—shoved on the elevation, So I got a seat for nought to see the Coronation, I sat me down quite quitely, no body came to I slyly cast my eyes upon the ladies round about me ; The sun shone down so very hot, they were all in perspiration, It melted all their red and white at the famous Coronation. At last the Queen herself did come dressed up so fine oh dear me, I ne'er before in all my life had had a Queen so near me ; So graciously she made her bow to me, and congregation, So I was taken notice of at the famous Tol lol lol, &c. Coronation �7 When this wur done, I thought thinks I, I've seen all thatIcansee; So out I got and found that I'd paid dearly for my fancy ; I'd lost a sovereign and my purse and on examination, My watch which ne'er' didgobeforedidgoat Coronation. O leave the gay and festive scene, the halls of dazzling light, And rove withmethroughforestsgreen, beneath the silent night. Then as we watch the ling'ring rays, that shine from every star, I'll sing the song of happier days, and strike the light guitar. I'll tell thee how the maiden wept, when her true knight was slain, And how her broken spirit slept and never woke again. I'll tell the how the steed drew nigh; and left his lord afar;But if my tale should make you sigh, �8 I'll strike the light guitar. But if my tale, &c. Isle Of Beauty. Shades of ev'ning close not o'er us, leave our lonely bark awhile ; Morn alas will not restore us yonder dim and distant isle Still my fancy can discover sunny spots where friends may dwell ; Darker shadows round us hover, Isle of Beauty, Fare thee well. Tis the hour when happy faces smile around the taper's light ; Who will fill our vacant places ? who will sing our songs to-night Thro' the mist that floats above us faintly sounds the vesper bell, Like a voice from those who love us breathing fondly, Fare thee well. When the waves are round me breaking, as I pace the deck alone ; And my eye in vain is seeking some green leaf to rest upon ; What would I not give to wander where my old companions dwell Absence makes the heart grow f o n d e r Isle of Beauty, Fare thee well. ; � https://scottishchapbooks.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/842672920844f4599d07fc733b9f29b2.jpg 1f4b286245dcfe699582ddb5b544a188 Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

The London youth he stood amaz'd, And for a season nothing said ; All on her amorous beauty gaz'd, At length to her these words he said I was in France—ay, and in Flanders, And all around this fine Irish shore ; I met with ladies and great commanders, But a match for Nancy I ne'er saw before. Her friends and neighbours were all acquainted Of this great match that was in hands, The wedding-day it was appointed, He crown'd his love with house and lands. Mirth and weavers, pipes and tabors, Great joy he had for to crown his love, That day they wedded—and at night they bedded, And a loving couple they did prove. � Document A resource containing textual data.

When Heaven, to soften human care, Bade pity sympathize with woe— That sorrow's child should fortune share, Friendship bestow'd on man below, Whose balm dispelling every grief— Brought to the aching soul relief. To inspire the jest, create the smile, {lay Momus reach'd our wave-bound isle ; Proclaiming loud the thunderer's love, To bless with mirth the sons of Jove, As Bacchus raised the generous vine, As Vulcan formed the sparking bowl, Apollo struck the lyre divine, And music's charms inspired the soul; Through heaven was heard the sacred sound, From heaven the pleasing notes rebound, When harmony arrived at earth, By wit inspired, to song gave birth, And love his choicest chaplets wove, To deck the favorite sons of Jove ; In peals of thunder swell the sound, Echo the mandate as it floats ; Louder the enchanting theme resound, And catch th§ mirth-inspiring notes. �Sacred to harmony and love, Inspired by friendship and by Jove, Our bowls with nect'rous vigour flow, Our bosom share the mutual glow ; While mirth, descending from above, Ilail us the jovial sons of Jove. HARK! THE HOLLOW WOODS RESOUNDING. Hark! the hollow woods resounding, With the joyful hunters' cry ; See the stag o'er hedges bounding, Now proclaims that they are nigh. Now the hounds the stag approaching, Now the huntsmen doth appear ; On his swiftness they're approaching, He distracted runs with fear. Now the stag himself defending With his antlers, but in vain— For his trembling limbs are bending, WeakenVI with distracting pain. Now their pleasure it is ending, And the tears flow from his eyes ; ' Now no more for life contending, Plunging forward, falls and dies. �4 BASH ALONG TO THE MELLOW-TONED HORN. Bright Sol, from the east spreads His beauties around, O'er mountain and valley so low ; The chase our delight, when we follow the hound, And the musical sound of the huntsman's hallo ! This is our song—Dash, dash along, To chase the boar, streaming with gore, With fiery eyes, his bristles rise ; Still we, undaunted, tune our song, With forward, my boys, dash, clash along, To the mellow-toned horn ! COME, TELL ME W H E R E THE MAID IS FOUND. Come, tell me where the maid is found, Whose heart can love without d e c e i t Arid I will range the world around, To sigh one moment at her feet. 0 tell me where's her sainted home, What air receives her blessed sigh ; A pilgrimage'of years I'll roam, To catch one sparkle of her eye, And if her cheek be rosy bright, While truth within her bosom lies ; I'll gaze upon her morn and night, Till my heart leave through my eyes. �o Show me on eartli a thing so rare, I'll own all miracles are true ; To make one maid sincere and fair, 0, 'tis the utmost Heaven can do. LIFE IS DARKENED O'ER WITH WOE. Life is darkened o'er with woe, Bid the ruddy nectar flow, Wine's the soul of joy below ; Blessed by Bacchus, rosy wine Makes a mortal half divine, Fill, oh fill the cup before thee, Bacchus, Bacchus, I adore thee. Life is darkened o'er with woe, Bid the ruddy nectar flow, Love's the soul of life below ; Blessed by beauty, rosy wine Makes a mortal all divine— Fill, oh fill the cup before thee, .Venus, Venus, I adore thee. AH! MEN, WHAT SILLY THINGS YOU ARE, Ah, men what silly things you are, To women thus to humble ; Who, fowler-like, but spreads her snare, Or .at her silly game takes aim, Pop, pop, and down you tumble. Ah, men, &c, �6 She marks you down, fly where you will, Over clover, grass, or stubble— Can wing you, feather you, or kill, Just as she takes the trouble. Ah, men, &c. Then fly not from us, 'tis in vain, - We know the art of setting ; As well as fighting, we can train The shyest man our net in. Ah, men, LET'S DRINK, MY FRIENDS. Let's drink, my friends, while here we live, The fleeting moments, as they pass, This silent admonition g i v e To improve our time, and push the glass. When once we've entered Charon's boat, Farewell to drinking, joys divine! There's not a drop to wet our throat, The grave's a cellar void of wine, F A R E W E L L MY DONKEY NEDDY. Then farewell my donkey Neddy, Scales and panniers all good bye ; Never more you'll hear old Teddy, Through the streets 4 Salt cod, 0 ! ' cry. �7 Now with tears of grief and sorrow, Across the herring pond I go ; Is there no friend I can borrow, Blunt to pay the debts I owe. Perhaps when IVe cut my lucky, Polks of me will turn their head ; Give my love to Poll my ducky, Bid her think on her poor Ted. H I G H L A N D MINSTREL BOY, I hae wander'd mony a night in June Along the banks of Clyde, Beneath a bright and borinie moon, Wi' Mary at my side ; As summer was she to mine e'e, And to my heart a joy, And weel she lo'ed to roam wi' me, Her Highland minstrel boy. Oh, her presence could on every star New brilliancy confer, And I thought the flowers were sweeter far When they were seen with her; Her brow was calm as sleeping'sea, Her glance was full o' joy, And oh, her heart was true to me, Tier Highland minstrel boy. �8 I ha'e plavM to ladies fair and gay, In monv a southron hall; But there was one, far, far away, A world above them all. And now, tho' weary years have fled, I think wi' mournfu' joy, Upon the time when Mary wed Her Highland minstrel boy. FORGET ME NOT! Go, youth belov'd, to distant glades, New friends, new hopes, new joys to iyid ; Yet sometimes deign 'midst fairer maids, To think on her thou leav'st behind. Thy love, thy fate, dear youth, to share, Must never be my happy lot; But thou may'st grant this humble prayer— Forget me not! forget me not! Yet should the thought of my distress Too painful to thy feelings be, Heed not the wish I now express, Nor ever deign to think on me. But, oh, if grief thy steps attend, If want, if sickness be thy lot, And thou require a soothing friend, Forget me not! forget me not! � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

MORNING PRAYER. Lord, I would ever praise And bless thee, if I could ; For thou art good always, And ever doing good. But I am full of sin, And very much defil'd ; Oh, washing me within, Make me a lioly child. A clean heart give me, Lord, And a right spirit too; That I may keep thy word In every thing I do. So guide me through this day, And every grace afford, And hear me as I pray Through Jesus Christ our Lord. �6 EVENING PRATER. I bless thee^ Lord of heaven, For all thy goodness free, Which thou this clay hast given To all my friends and me.

For Christ's dear sake my sins forgive, And let me in thy favour live; For though those sins increase each day, His blood can wash them all away. Let thy good hand preserve me still, From every danger, every ill; And help me so my days to spend, That they in peace and joy may end. EVENING PRAYER. 0 Lord, another day's gone by, I've one day less to live ; And am I now more fit to die ? What answer can I give ? Thou only know'st how vile I am, And can I be forgiven ?

Then wash me in his precious blood, And if I ne'er should wake, To dwell with thee in heaven above, My ransom'd spirit take. �7 MORNING P R A Y E R . Another night has passed away, Again I see the light of day ; Again, 0 Lord, I ask of thee This day to guide and counsel me. Again I come with grateful praise To thee, the God of all my days ; Accept the gift, O King of kings. Which to thy throne an infant brings. Accept my thanks for temporal good, For raiment, rest, and daily food, And better things laid up in heaven, To all thy children freely given. Here at thy throne I lowly pray ; Jesus, my shepherd be alway, Me lead and guide till life be past, And bring me to thy fold at last. EVENING PRAYER. Lord, teach a little child to pray, Teach me the ' ' new and living way ' This night I kneel before thy throne, To make my wants and wishes known. A sinful child I come to thee ; Oh, pity, Lord, and pardon me ; Thy Spirit, Lord, to me impart, To change my hard and stony heart. For, oh, my heart is hard within, And all my thoughts are stained with sin. Oh, would I were a child of grace, In heaven to see my Saviour's face ; A happy child I then would be, And spend my days in serving thee. PRAYERS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE FROM FIVE TO EIGHT YEARS OF AGE.

I am thankful to thee for all the blessings I have enjoyed this day, and that I am again brought to its close in good health.

Help me to sleep this night in peace. Bless my mamma and papa, and all my friends and relations, for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen. MORNING P R A Y E R . O Lord, how grateful should I be to thee for all thou art continually doing for and giving to me ! Thou art giving me a great many mercies that I do not deserve. I often forget thee, although thou never forgettest me. I do and say things which are very bad. Let me sin no more, nor forget thee any more. Make me sorry for my sins. The Bible tells me thou only canst prevent me from sinning. Thou canst do whatever is well pleasing to thee. Oh, do thou keep me from doing whatever is wrong. Watch over me all this day. For all I ask is for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen. EVENING P R A Y E R . Father which art in heaven, at the close of another day I come again into thy presence, to thank thee for thy great kindness to me since I arose in the morning. How very grateful should I be that thou hast given me so many comforts to help me to enjoy myself. While many little boys and girls like me are going about neglected and destitute, I am provided with every thing I want. 0 God, make me grateful to thee for all thy mercies and the comforts I enjoy ; may X believe that they all come from thee. Again I pray thee to protect me this night from all danger, and make me a good and holy child, for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen. MORNING P R A Y E R . Merciful Cod ! who art always preserving me, how thankful should I be for all thy goodness to me.

I pray thee, Lord Jesus, who lovest little children, to keep me free from guile and sin of every kind, henceforth and for ever. Gracious Father! bring me closer to my Saviour, and show me more of him. Thou knowest how helpless a little child such as I am feels. Oh, help me when I am at a loss about any thing, and teach me what I should do. Enable me by thy Holy Spirit to look to thee alone for aid. I pray thee to watch over me this day, and never leave me to myself, for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen. EVENING P R A Y E R . Heavenly Father! another day has passed over my head, and I am now so much nearer to the end of my life. Help me to think of this more than I have ever done. Although I am but a young child, yet I see many as young as I am taken away by death. And it may be that I am also soon to die. But in my Bible I read that the Saviour died also to save little children like me, and he loved us so much that he mentions us by the name of " little children," and tells those around to suffer us to come unto him and forbid us not. O blessed Jesus ! when I read about this, I wish I could only love thee more, who so kindly lovest me. Some day I hope I will be with thee in heaven. I am often at a great loss what to think of such a Saviour, that could be so kind as to care even for us little children. Oh, may the great Gocl that made the world help me this night, and all the days and nights that I am spared on earth, to think of those things, for the sake of my Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen. MORNING P R A Y E R . 0 Lord, I again come into thy presence to thank thee for the care thou hast taken of me during the night that is past. I pray thee to watch over me during all this day. May I be obedient to my parents and teachers, and be able to give attention to their advice and instructions. Do thou bless my mamma and papa, and all my friends and relations, and make them all as happy as thou art making me. 1 pray thee to enable me to understand more perfectly what I am daily reading in my Bible. I am too young to learn all things, but my Saviour, of whom I read, had compassion on such little children as I am. I hope in mercy he will also have compassion on me, and teach me the way by which I may come unto him, for all that I ask and expect to receive is only through this blessed Saviour, who loved little children so much. Amen. 2 �10 EVENING PRAYER. Again, 0 God, I kneel before thee. Thou art always kind to me; thou art guiding and directing me when I am at a loss what to do. It can be no other that helps me in my difficulties, for no one is present with me to know what I am wanting. How often during this day have I felt thy presence with me even while engaged in my play. Look clown on me in mercy. Hear and answer this humble petition, and be with me during the night; and when I rise in the morning, make me an obedient child, both to father and mother, and do thou bless them both, and make them to know that thou art their God, as I believe thou also art mine. Hear my humble prayer, and do thou watch over me this night, and make me a good and happy child, for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen. MORNING P R A Y E R . 0 Lord, my Heavenly Father, be thou the guide of my youth. Suffer me not to follow the foolish and sinful desires which I feel always rising within me. Subdue within me the perverse self-will which is continually attempting to prevail over me. Enable me to overcome myself, to keep my conscience pure, to resist the wicked one who is ever seeking to turn me from the path of duty. May I be daily growing in knowledge, loving, fearing, and obeying thee, and becoming more and more a child of God. Ho thou watch over me throughout the whole of this day. Never leave me to myself, but be always present with me. Bless my father and mother, and all my friends and relations, and do thou take us all to thyself; for all the petitions I offer up are in the name and for the sake of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen. EVENING PRAYER. O God! thou art very good to me. Another clay has closed, and I am still here before thee, enjoying all the blessings and "" ^art with gratitude to thee, the Lord, thou knowest that I am very thoughtless; but, oh, leave me not to myself, but, in difficulty and danger, be thou present to guide me and direct me. Help me to spend the remainder of this evening, and all the days and hours of my life, in thy fear. Watch over me again this night. I humbly pray thee to bring me to see the light of a new day, for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen. �11 EVENING PRAYER. Heavenly Father, thou hast again been kind to me, and hast raised me up in health to see the light of another day. I bless and thank thee for the care which thou hast taken of me during the dark hours of the night that I have been asleep. Oh, do thou watch over me the whole of this day, and make me a good and faithful child to thee, for Christ's sake. Amen. EVENING P R A Y E R . 0 Lord, I come into thy presence this night, and at my mother's knee I kneel before thee, and thank thee for all thy kindness to me this day, and through the week which is now coming to an end. May I know more of Jesus Christ, and love him more than I have yet done ; for in my Bible I have been reading how much he loved little children like me. Oh, that I may be one of the lambs of his flock that I was reading about this morning. How happy would I be if I only knew that Jesus cared for me also, and that he would keep me from doing any thing that was wrong. Spare me during the night, and bring me to see the light of thy holy day. Amen. MORNING P R A Y E R . 0 Lord, I thank thee for all thy mercies to me through the past night, and for raising me up in health to see the light of a new day. Lord", be with me all this day ; teach me to remember that thine eye is upon me at all times. Thou knowest every thought of my heart and every word of my tongue. O Lord, create a clean heart within me, and renew within me a right spirit. May I be washed from all my sins in the Saviour's precious blood. O Lord, make me careful this day to do those things that I know to be pleasing in thy sight. May I be obedient to my parents ; gentle and loving to my sisters and brothers ; and kind to every one. Teach me to do to others as I would wish others to do to me, and never to render evil for evil to any. 0 Lord, be with me all this day, to keep me in thy fear, and to defend me from danger. All that I would ask is for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen. EVENING P R A Y E R . 0 Lord, I desire to come before thee this evening, to thank thee for all thy goodness to me through the past day. O Lord, pardon every sin that I have committed this day, in my thoughts, �12 words, or actions.* May all my sins be taken away, and teach me to hate sin as thou hatest it, and to love and follow after true holiness. O Lord, bless papa and mamma, my sisters and brothers, and all my friends. Make them all the friends of Jesus. May we all be guided by thy counsel while we live, and afterward be received into glory. Have mercy, O Lord, on the poor ignorant heathen. Send teachers to them who will tell them of Jesus; and may they and we learn to love and obey him with all our heart. Hear our prayers, 0 Lord, and accept of us and bless us, for Christ's sake. Amen. PRAYERS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE FROM EIGHT TO T W E L V E Y E A R S OF AGE. SABBATH MORNING P R A Y E R .

Put thy Holy Spirit within my heart, that I may this day worship thee in spirit and in truth. Forgive, most merciful God, all my sins and shortcomings in duty. Go with me to thy holy temple.

THIS, 0 SABBATH EVENING P R A Y E R . 0 Lord my God, thou lovest them that love thee, and those that seek tliee early shall find thee. Blessed be thy holy name for this Sabbath day. Make thy word which I have read and heard very precious to my soul. Bless those portions of Scrip* H e r e t h e p a r e n t o r n u r s e m a y m e n t i o n a n y sin t h a t m a y h a v e b e e n o b s e r v e d d u r i n g t h e day. �13 ture which were explained by thy ministers, and cause me to .love them more than gold, yea than much fine gold. Although young in years I have sinned and done wickedly, and thou mightest cast me away from thy presence. There is mercy with thee that thou mayest be feared, and with God is plenteous redemption. Blessed Saviour, who didst say, " Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven,'' make me one of the lambs of thine own flock. Wash me in thy precious blood. Clothe me in thy robe of righteousness. Pray for me unto thy Father and my Father •—thy God and my God. On this first day of the week thou didst arise from the grave. May I rise with thee to newness of life. May I die unto sin and live unto righteousness. Keep me and all those I love this night from danger and guilt. Send thy holy word to the ends of the earth. Let the children of the heathen be made the children of God. Be merciful to those who are in trouble. Heal their diseases, save their souls, and make me truly thankful for health of body and a sound mind. Into thy hands I commend my spirit. Be thou my everlasting portion. Guide me by thy counsel, and at the close of all my Sabbaths on earth, bring me to glory—the rest that remaineth for the people of God in heaven. Hear these my prayers, and send an answer of peace, through the Lord Jesus Christ, my strength and my Redeemer. Amen. M O N D A Y MORNING PRAY'ER. O Lord, thou art great, and greatly to be feared, thou art good and much to be loved. I desire to lift up my heart to thee, my Maker, Preserver, and. Redeemer. I bless thee for all thy gifts ; I am less than the least of all thy mercies ; but especially do I adore thee for Christ tlw son, the Saviour of a lost w-orlcl. Oh, what love hast thou shown to sinners in sending the Son of thy bosom to suffer and to die. I desire to take Jesus as my Saviour. Wash me in his blood. My sins are very many; but, oh, I rejoice that his 4'blood cleanseth from all sin." My hope is in him—may his word teach me, may his power guide me, may his spirit make me like himself, so that I may " increase in wisdom as in stature, and in favour with God and man." O Jesus, take me into thine arms and bless me. Put me among the lambs of thy flock, and carry me in thy bosom. May I ever think, and feel, and act as thou biddest me. T^ord, make me grateful for all the comforts I enjoy—for loving parents, kind friends, and a happy home. I would thank thee also for the holy Sabbath, which I yesterday enjoyed. Oh, may I love thy day and thy house. May what I heard then make me better, and like the. child Jesus, be often found in thy �14 temple. Throughout the days of this week may I ever remember that " thou, God, seest me," and may I walk as a child of so many mercies. I implore thee to hear and answer, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake. Amen. MONDAY EVENING P R A Y E R . In thee, O Lord, I live and move and have my being. Thou art sparing me while many of my own age are dying around me. May I therefore live to thee. Lead me to love thee and obey thee as my Father in heaven. Oh, adopt me into thy family, and bless me, and make me thine own. Looking up to thee, I would desire to say, Abba, Father. If thou chastise me, oh, teach me to submit, and in due time fit and prepare me for that happy home where all thy children are for ever assembled. Thou hast preserved me during another day. What shall I render unto the Lord for all his mercies ? And now, at the close of this day, I feel it to be a duty and a pleasure to give thee thanks. Oh, pardon all the sins which I have this day committed. I confess my sins—I lament over them—-Lord, make me to forsake them. I am not what I might be, I am not what I should be, I am not what I hope, through thy grace, I will be. Lord, forgive all that has been wrong in any feelings I have cherished, and in any deeds I have done. I cast myself on thy mercy. May I feel the riches of thy grace. May the Holy Ghost dwell within me ; may he subdue my perverse desires, and may he train me for thy service now and for thy glory hereafter. This evening I would desire to pray for the poor children in heathen lands. Oh, may they soon have the Bible ; may they soon hear Jesus saying, " Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not." Lord, I feel for all who are in trouble. Bless them, remove their sickness; may it be good for them to have been afflicted. I ask thy blessing on all my relations. May all who are mine be his too. Take me under thy protection through this night. May the amis of the Almighty be round about me. Give me sweet and refreshing slumber. And, should another sun rise upon me, may I be found again on my knees at thy throne giving myself to thee. Lord, hear me. Lord, bless me, and answer my humble and imperfect prayer, for the sake of thy Son, my Lord and Saviour. Amen. MORNING P R A Y E R . O Lord, thou art the giver and preserver of my life. Teach me to remember that every good thing comes from thee. I thank thee that I am in health, and have many comforts. May I have grace to use them properly, and to do all my duties dili- �gently a n ( l cheerfully, I cannot serve thee as I ought to do, and I do and say much that is wrong. Pardon my sins, O Lord, for the sake of Jesus Christ, who died upon the cross to save sinners ; and make me more concerned for my sins, and more attentive to avoid them. Give me, this day, all that is needful for my bodily and my spiritual welfare. Bless my dear parents, and all for whom I should pray, for Christ's sake. Amen. EVENING P R A Y E R . O Lord, thou hast seen all my behaviour throughout tho day, and all that has been in my heart, And I pray that, for Christ's sake, my sinful words, and actions, and thoughts, may be forgiven. I have much cause to praise and bless thee for supplying my wants and providing for my comfort and happiness. And now I would lay myself down in peace, and sleep, depending upon thee. If thou art pleased to give me longer life, help me to grow, like the blessed Jesus, not only in stature but in wisdom, and in favour with God and man. If I am soon to die, wash me, O Lord, from all my sins in the blood of the Saviour, and fit me for joining those who are with him in heaven. Guard my parents and friends from all evil, and let them always enjoy thy favour. And all that I ask is for Christ's sake. Amen. MORNING P R A Y E R . Gracious God! who hast so preserved me through the past night, be with me, I beseech thee, during this day, and keep me from accidents, disease, and all evil. Grant me daily bread and health, and whatsoever is good for me. May I see thy goodness in the blessings that I receive, and may I be made truly thankful for them all. Enable me to remember that thou seest me at all times, and knowest all that I think. Keep me from anger, deceit, and falsehood, and all selfishness ; and may I strive to please thee in every thing that I do. Make me diligent at school, and help me to avoid evil companions.. Incline my heart to all that is good, and teach me especially to love Jesus Christ, who died for our sins. Let all my sins be forgiven for his sake; and may the Holy Spirit be granted unto me, that I may learn to hate and forsake all sin. Bless my father and mother, and make me a dutiful and obedient child. Bless my dear brothers and sisters, and enable me to love them more, and to be always good and kind to them. Bless all in this house, and all my friends. Hear, O Lord, and answer me in thy great mercy, for the Lord the Redeemer's sake. Amen. 0 EVENING P R A Y E R . God! before committing my eyes to sleep, I would commit �16 myself to thee. Watch over me this night; be about my bed as thou hast been about my path, and keep me from the terror by night as well as from the arrow that flieth by clay. Graciously blot out the sins of which I have been guilty this day. O Lord ! I have been very forgetful of thee, and have not been anxious to please thee in every thing. In so far as I have been disobedient, or deceitful, or idle, or wilful, or unthankful, or selfish in any way, I entreat thy forgiveness for Christ's sake. Make me humble and truly sorry for my sins. Help me to hate and forsake them. Del iver me from all evil tempers, keep me from temptation, and, in- the time to come, may I be more lowly and loving, and more like thy holy child Jesus, who grew, not only in stature, but in wisdom and in favour with God and with man. Be pleased to love and bless my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all my friends. May I love them more, and ever seek to please them and do them good. Spare me, Heavenly Father, to see the light of another day, and may I rise refreshed by sleep, and willing to run in the way of thy commandments. Hear me, O Lord, and accept of me for Christ's sake. Amen. MORNING P R A Y E R . Our Father which art in heaven, hear me, I beseech thee, when on bended knee I come before thee to pray that thou wouldst make me to know, obey, and submit to thy will in all things, as the angels do in heaven. Oh, that thou wouldst freely pardon my many sins. It is through Jesus Christ alone I make my approach unto thee, through my blessed Saviour, who died to save sinners such as I am. O Lord, make me a good child, obedient to my parents, affectionate to my brothers and sisters, obliging to my friends, and useful to all around me. Enable me to repress my evil passions. At work or at play, may I remember that thou knowest every thought of my heart and every action of my life, and that thou wilt not allow my sins to pass unheeded, but that all shall be in thy holy book against me. Make me grateful lor all thy mercies, especially for preserving me through the past night and bringing me again unto the light of another morning : and, if it be in accordance with thy holy will, preserve me in health and strength through the day which has now dawned. All my relations and friends, both at home and far off, do thou bless and protect. Father, I pray thee that we may all enjoy thy favour, and meet at last together in heaven. Listen to these humble prayers of a little child, and enable me to see thee before me all this day, for all that I ask is for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen. �17 EVENING PRAYER. Gracious and most merciful God, with humility of heart I come before thee this night to thank thee for all thy goodness to me. Thou hast preserved me through the past day, and hast permitted me again to bow my knee in prayer before thee this evening. Pardon me, I beseech thee, O Lord, wherein I have transgressed against thee in thought, in word, or in deed ; and grant that as I have done evil heretofore, I may be enabled through thy grace to do so no more. May I be a child of light, not of darkness; and, knowing that sin leads to destruction, may I be enabled to keep away from it. Merciful Father, lead and guide me in the path of duty. Let 110 evil thought nor wicked action stain my life. May I enjoy thy favour which is life, and thy love which is liberty ; and now that I am about to lay myself down in bed, I pray thee to give me refreshing sleep, and preserve me through the silent watches of the night. Take my dear friends also under thy safe protection, 0 Lord ; and when at last we shall sleep the sleep of death, may we meet in that blessed world beyond the grave, where there is no more trial and no more trouble. Listen to me, O Lord, when I call upon thee, and grant me an answer in peace, for all that I ask or expect to receive is for my blessed Saviour Jesus Christ's sake. Amen. MORNING P R A Y E R . O Lord, tliou art very great and very glorious, and I, a sinful child, can hardly dare to look up to thee. But I pray thee to listen to my prayer this morning for the sake of thy beloved Son, wTho was a little child, and who came into the world to reconcile sinners to thee. When he was on earth he was subject unto his parents, and grew in favour with God and man. Enable me to follow his footsteps by the gracious help of thy good Spirit, to be obedient to my father and mother, kind and loving to my brothers and sisters, and in all things to walk so as to please thee. May thy good hand be upon me this day to protect me from danger and preserve me from sin. Lead me not into temptation, but deliver me from evil. And to thee, in Jesus Christ, 1 would ascribe the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. EVENING P R A Y E R . O Lord, thou hast been pleased to bring me in safety to the close of another day. Be with me through this night. May thine everlasting arms be underneath and around me, and may I rest in peace under the shadow of thy wings. Pardon whatever I have done amiss this day. Wash away all my sins in the �18 precious blood of Christ, and clothe me with his righteousness. Make me to love thee above all things, and dispose me at all times to do thy holy will, and to be satisfied with all thine appointments. May thy blessing be upon me and upon all who are dear to me ; and if it please thee to spare us to see the light of another clay, may we spend that day, and every other day added to our life, in thy fear and in thy favour. And all that I ask is for the sake of Jesus Christ, to whom, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, be everlasting glory. Amen. MORNING PRAYER. Blessed God, thou hast made the sun and the light, and the beautiful world which day reveals. The sun is glorious, but thou art more glorious than the sun; the light is pure, but thou art purer than the light; evil cannot dwell with thee ; thou canst not look upon sin. All things around thy throne in heaven are holy; well, therefore, may a sinful child fear to speak to thee. I am very sinful; yet Jesus, thy Son, who gave himself for me, is holy; and, for his sake, I beseech thee to hear my prayer. Sin has made my heart darker than night; oh, may thy Holy Spirit make it light, that I may see thy glory, and the beauty of Jesus Christ; and that, knowing thee, I may love thee. Lord make me thankful for quiet sleep ; for my safe and happy home ; and for the mercies of the morning. Keep me this day from all danger; give me food and raiment, and ever remind me that these are thy gifts. Oh, let me not fall into sin. Enable me to feel that thou, God, seest me, and to check all sinful passions, and words, and deeds, which would offend thy holy eye. May I shun the company of wicked children, and not learn their ways, nor listen to their words. Help me to be obedient to my parents ; to be truthful and kind ; to do something to make others wiser and better; and whether I eat 0 * 1 drink, or whatsoever I do, to do all ,to thy glory. Keep me this day from idleness. May I remember that I have to prepare for two worlds; and may I therefore be diligent in learning those things which will fit me for glorifying thee on earth and for enjoying thee in heaven. Teach me, thyself, O Lord, by thy word and by thy Spirit. Be thou ever near me, to keep me from the evil that is in the world. Be my guardian, my guide, my teacher, my father. Let me walk with thee while I live, and dwell with thee for ever when I die. Blessed God, hear my poor prayers ; pardon my sins ; accept my worship, and bless me, for the sake of thy dear So*£ my Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen. �19 EVENING PRAYER. Father who art in heaven, I thank thee for the mercies of another day ; for my food and clothing ; for my pleasant home and dear friends. I thank thee that I am still alive, and that I have so many means of improvement and of happiness. Iiow great is thy goodness to me, and how unworthy am I of it. Thou hast been my kind Father, but I have been thy rebellious and ungrateful child. I have done those things which thou hast forbidden, and have neglected those which thou hast commanded. How seldom have I thought of thee; how little have I loved thee; how faintly have I desired thy glory. Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy child. Yet, oh, forgive my sins; for Jesus died for sinners. G ive me a new and holy heart. Clothe me with the fair robe of Christ's spotless righteousness; give me that faith which unites the soul to him; and then, through him who is thy well-beloved Son, I shall be thy dear adopted child. Bless to me thy holy word which I have read. I thank thee for its glorious truths. Enable me to meditate on holy things when I lie down to rest, that Satan may find in my heart no room for wicked thoughts. Fill my soul with thy love, that the love of sin may be excluded. Let my sleep be safe and holy— safe because thou clost protect me— holy because thy Spirit keeps my heart. Thou who slumberest not nor sleepest, watch my couch ; and if thou wilt awake me in the morning, may it be to love and serve thee. If it be thy will that I should die this night, or whenever my death shall come, receive me to the land where there is no night; where Jesus is the light; where holy angels live ; and where the ransomed of the Lord walk in everlasting joy. Lord Jesus, thou hast redeemed my spirit; into thy loving arms I commit myself, for life or for death. Only let me be with thee, let me be thine, and I shall be happy. O God, bless my dear parents, my brothers and sisters, my kind friends, and happy playmates. Bless them with the blessings of thy salvation. Hear my humble prayers, and give me all I need, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake. Amen. MORNING P R A Y E R . O Lord, I would approach thy throne, trusting in thy gracious promise that thou wilt accept the prayers of all, however sinful in themselves, who come to tliee by Him who is the way, as well as the truth and the life. I would adore and praise thee, O giver of all good ! for the many mercies with which thou hast �20 been pleased to bless me. I thank thee for all my temporal mercies ; but, above all, I would magnify thy holy name for thy best and greatest gift, even the gift of thine only and wrellbeloved Son. I thank thee that thou didst not spare him who is the brightness of thy glory and the express image of thy person, but that thou didst send him to suffer and to die for sinful men. I thank thee that he, though being in the form of man thought it not robbery to be equal to God, yet left his Father's house to become a poor weak child like me, and then, after leading a life of suffering and sorrow, though of perfect holiness, to die the cursed death of the cross, that those who believe in him should escape that eternal death which their sins deserve. I know, O Lord, that I am very wicked and sinful, and that I am naturally opposed to every thing good ; but thy Holy Spirit can break the heart of stone and bend the stubborn and rebellious will. Oh, may he overcome all my natural enmity to thee and to thy laws, and enable me to receive Jesus Christ as he is offered to me in the gospel. May he enable me to give myself up to him now in the morning of my days, to take him now as my Maker and Saviour, remembering, if tempted, to put off coming to him till some future period, that that period may never arrive. In my journey through life, may I find thee my refuge and strength, a very present help in time of trouble ; in every perplexity, trial, or temptation, whether from my own wicked heart, the world, or Satan, do thou lead me to the rock that is higher than I ; and, though weak in myself, may I never faint nor fall, but may thy grace be sufficient for me, and thy strength be made perfect in weakness. Be with me this day, and grant that every day I may grow in grace. Bless, O Lord, all my dear relations and friends ; for my beloved parents especially I would solicit thy mercy. Oh, enrich them with all blessings, both temporal and spiritual; enable me to be dutiful and obedient to them, to endeavour, as far as is in my power, to repay all their kindness to me. Bless all my brothers and sisters, may they choose for their portion that better part which shall never be taken from them. And do thou hear and answer all my prayers, for Christ's sake. Amen. EVENING PRAYER. O Lord! who when on earth didst say, u Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not," graciously receive me. I am not worthy to come into thy presence, but thou art a God of mercy, and whoso cometli unto thee thou wilt in nowise cast out. Though I am yet very young, I have often sinned against thee; but do thou put away my sin. I thank thee for thy kindness to me this day; while many have not had food or raiment, �21 thou hast given me both, and while many have been lying on beds of sickness, thou hast kept me in health. Yv7ateh over me this night. Bless all those I love, and make me thankful for thy mercy in sending Christ to die for me. Do thou, Lord, give me a new heart, and pardon my sins, for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen. OCCASIONAL PRAYERS. B Y A C H I L D U N D E R CONVICTION OF SIN. O L O R D ! I am a great sinner. I am a sinner by nature and by practice. My original sin is enough to condemn me, though I had no other ; but to the sin of my nature I have added innumerable actual transgressions. I have sinned in thought, in word, and in deed. I have sinned in the clearest light, and against the greatest love ; against the warnings of my own conscience, the counsels of my parents, the pleadings of thy word, and the strivings of thy Holy Spirit ! I have done so, times and ways without number, and I have no excuse. 0 Lord, I have done wickedly. Wert thou strict to mark iniquity, I could not stand, nor could I answer for even one of the least of my transgressions. But there is forgiveness with thee. Thou didst come into the world to save sinners; and now that thou art exalted a Prince and a Saviour, is it not to give repentance and remission of sins? Oh, give repentance and remission of sins unto me. Justify me freely. Sanctify me wholly. Save me 'eternally. O Lamb of God that takest away the sin of the world, take away mine. Save me from its guilt, save me from its power, save me from its pollution, save me from its condemnation. Safe me, save me from the wrath to come. O Lord, thou hast saved others, many, many others, and wilt thou not also, for thy name's sake, save me ? Thou hast blessed others. Thou didst bless the little children that were brought to thee long ago ; and hast thou but one blessing ? wilt thou not bless me, even me, also ? O Lord Jesus, my Saviour, thou surely wilt. Thou hast said, " thou hatest putting away." Oh, put not me away in thine anger. Let me yet have to say, " Thou hast been my help, leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation." 0 Lord, be not angry with me ; but if I perish, here I perish. " If thou slay me, yet will I trust in thee." If I die, it will be at thy feet, crying, and clinging for mercy. 0 Lord, I cannot, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. Let it be said, " Is not this a brand plucked from the burning?" And, oh, let me. looking back to this clay and to this place, have �cause to say, to the praise and the glory of thy name, " And he blessed me there." Amen. IN SICKNESS. 0 Lord, I am in great distress. Look upon mine affliction. Consider my pain, and forgive my sins. I am come into deep waters, where there is no standing. I am weary with my crying ; my throat is also dried. Lord, help me. Bear me up, and bring me through. Make my bed in my sickness. Be not far from me ; for trouble is near, and there is none to help. Let not this sickness be unto death, but for thy glory. Thou hast brought back others from the gates of death, and thou canst bring back me. Speak the word, and I shall be healed. Oh, let this cup pass from me ; nevertheless, not my will, but thine, be done. Oh, prepare me for all thou art preparing for me. If I am to die, oh, may I die in the Lord. May I fall asleep in Jesus. Let me only be in Christ; and come what may, come life or death, there will be to me no condemnation. Lord Jesus ! my righteousness and my life; my strength in weakness, my shield in danger, my light in the dark valley, my advocate in the day of judgment! I give myself up to thee. Lord, I am thine, do with me what thou wilt, and as thou wilt. Help me only to be passive in thy hand. Yiork all the work ; and in life, and in death, in time and in eternity, thine shall be all the glory. Amen. WHEN EE COVERED FROM SICKNESS. 1 thank thee, most merciful Father, that I am still in the land of the living and in the place of hope. Henceforth may I walk in newness of life. As thou hast been pleased to spare me and to restore me from sickness, may I endeavour to live more with, and more for, the Lord. May I be always prepared for death, since I know not the hour when the Lord eometh, or when I may be called upon to give in my account unto thee. Grateful, oh, ever grateful! my most merciful God! make my heart to thee, for giving me a longer term of life, and do thou prepare my soul for heaven. Preserve all my dear relations and friends in health and in strength, and keep them in thy favour. Listen to these humble but sincere thanksgivings, for all that I ask is in the name and for the sake of Jesus Christ. Amen. FOR THE SPREAD OF THE GOSPEL AND THE COMING OF CHRIST'S KINGDOM. Almighty God ! thou rulest in the armies of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth. Angels and pure spirits �23 stand around thy throne adoring thee, and waiting to perform thy pleasure. Wilt thou then listen to a little child, may he plead with thee concerning thy kingdom ? Wonderful grace is it, O Lord, that thou who hearest angels wilt hear me ; that thou who hast heavenly spirits to do thy will, wilt accept of my poor service, when I lay my little offering at thy feet in the name of Jesus. 0 Lord, this world is wretched, because it is sinful. All men have departed from thee, and in many regions of the earth which thou hast created, thou art unknown. Have mercy upon its dark places. Let the light of thy truth spring up there ; pity thine ancient people, who, because they have neglected thy Son, pine away in their punishment. Pity the heathen who pray in vain to senseless idols. Hear the cry of wretched children who are doomed a sacrifice to false and bloody gods. Enlighten those who grope in darkness, being blinded by antichrist. Have mercy upon the multitudes who feel sin, but know no Saviour; who seek by tears, and toil, and blood, to wash away their guilt; lead them to the Lamb of God who taketh aWay the sin of the world. Blessed be thy name for the promise that all flesh shall see thy salvation; that Christ, the King of Righteousness, and peace, and joy, shall reign, and that this world shall be his kingdom. Lord Jesus, come quickly; send thy swift messengers into all lands, to gather the people unto thee ; bless thy servants who have gone forth to preach the gospel; be a wall of fire to protect them ; be a pillar of cloud to guide them; be a fountain of comfort to refresh them ; when they have sown in tears the good seed of thy word, make them happy in seeing plants of righteousness spring up to thy praise and glory. 1 thank thee that, even now, a little of the good seed has sprung up and is bearing fruit. I thank thee that some of thine ancient Israel have received the true Messiah; that some poor heathen now worship at the foot of the cross ; and that many, from amidst popish darkness, walk in the light of life. 0 God 1 bless these converts. Great are their trials and dangers. Make them faithful unto death, that thou mayest give them a crown of life. May they be lights in the great darkness, and glorify Christ by their Christian lives. Keep them from falling away. Strengthen them with might by thy Spirit in the inner man. Pour out thy Spirit more abundantly. Without him, thy ministers may labour in vain. Let him come down as the early and latter rain, as showers which water the earth. So shall the wilderness and the solitary place be glad, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose. Blessed Saviour, thou hast bought this world by toil, and pain, and blood ; it is thine by x'edemption, thine by everlasting covenant. �24 " Come, then, and, added to thy many crowns, receive yet one, the crown of all the earth, thou who alone art worthy." Let my poor prayers be presented in thy name, so shall they be accepted ; let me too be one of thy redeemed ; and to thee, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, be glory for ever. Amen. GRACES. GRACE BEFORE MEAT. 0 Lord, I ask thy blessing on the mercies which thou hast set before me at this time, for Christ's sake. Amen. GRACE AFTER MEAT. O Lord, I thank thee for the food thou hast given me. Bless all thy mercies for my use, and make me a good child, for Christ's sake. Amen. GRACE BEFORE MEAT. O God ! thou art the giver of all good and the God of all grace. Make me grateful for thy goodness, and give me grace for thy service. Bless these mercies for the support of my frail and dying body, and give me the bread of life for the support of my never-dying soul, for Christ's sake. Amen. GRACE AFTER MEAT. O Lord ! thine are all the blessings of this life, as well as of the life which is to come. Thine is the air I breathe, the food I eat, and the raiment I put on. For these things may I be thankful, and having them may I be content, for Christ's sake. Amen. GRACE BEFORE MEAT. Gracious God, although we have sinned against thee, and are unworthy of thy favour ; yet we implore tliee to pardon our sins, and bless these mercies for our use ; so that whether we eat or drink, or whatsoever we do, it may be to thy glory, for Christ's sake. Amen. GRACE AFTER MEAT. Blessed God, in whom we live, move, and have our being, make us thankful for thy mercies ; and, as we live by thy providence, help us to live to thy praise : looking and waiting for a better life with thyself above, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. � Document A resource containing textual data. Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre text.

GLASGOW. PRINTED FOR THE 77. BOOKSELLERS. �THE KING'S DAUGHTER. It was a lord and a gentle maid Sat in a greenwood bower, And thus the brave Sir Alfred said To the greenwood's fairest flower:— " I have loved thee well, sweet Rosalie,V.'ith thee 1 could live and die; But thou art a maid of low degree, And of princely race am I. " I have loved thee well, sweet Rosalie, I have loved a year and a day ; But a different fate is in store for me, And I must no longer stay. " Thou art a cottage maiden, love, And know not thy own pedigree ; And I must marry the king's daughter, For she is betrothed to me." There was a smile on Rosalie's lip, But a tear in her blue eye shone ; The smile was all for her lover's fate, The tear perchance for her own. �3 And down fell her ringlets of chestnut hair, Down in a shower of gold ; And she hid her face in her lover's arms, With feelings best left untold. Then slowly rose she' in her bower, With something of pride and scorn, And she look'd like a tall and dewy flower That lifts up its head to the morn. She flung her golden ringlets aside, And a deep blush crimson'd her cheek,-— " Heaven bless thee, Alfred, and thy young briae, Heaven give you the joy you seek! " Thou wert not born for a cottage, love, Nor yet for a maiden of low degree ; Thou wilt find thy mate in the king's daughter— Forget and forgive thy Rosalie." Sir Alfred has flung him upon his steed, But he rides at a laggard pace ; Of the road he is travelling he takes no heed, And a deadly paleness is on his face. Sir Alfred has come to the king's palace, And slowly Sir Alfred has lighted down ; He sigh'd when he thought of the king's daughterHe sigh'd when he thought of her father's crown. " Oh! that my home were the greenwood bower, Under the shelter of the greenwood tree! Oh! that my strength had been all my dower, All my possessions Rosalie!" �4 Sir Alfred has entered tlie royal hall 'Midst a thousand nobles in rich array ; But he who was once more gay than all, Has never, I ween, one word to say. The king sat high on his royal throne, Though his hairs were grey, his arm was strong, " Good cousin," he said, in a jocund tone, " Is it thou or thy steed that has stay'd so long? " But it boots not now—Bring forth the bride ! Thou hast never yet my daughter seen ; A woeful fate it is thine to bide, Fcr her hair is red and her eyes are green! The bride came forth in a costly veil, And nought of her face could Alfred see ; But his cheek grew yet more deadly pale, And he fell down faltering upon his knee: " Pardon! pardon! my liege, my king! And let me speak while I yet am free ; But were she fair as the flowers of spring, To your daughter I never can husband be." Lightning flash'd from the king's fierce eye, And thunder spoke in his angry tone,— <*Then the death of a traitor thou shalt die, And thy marriage peal shall be torture's moan!" " I never fear'a to die, Sir King, But my plighted faith I fear to break; I never fear'd the grave's deep rest, But the pangs of consciencc 1 fear to wake.*1 �5 Out then spoke the king's daughter, And haughtily spoke she,— " If Sir Alfred is vow'd to another love, He shall never be claim'd by me ;— " If Sir Alfred is vow'd to another love, Why, let the knight go free ; Let him give his hand to his other love, There are hundreds as good as h e !

First he stood like a marble stone, And she like a lily sweet, Then a sunny smile o'er his features shone, And then he was at her feet. C A T H E R I N E JOHNSTONE. was a lass as I heard say, Lived low doun in a glen ; Her name was Catherine Johnstone, Weel known to many men. THERE Doun came the laird o' Lamington, Doun frae the south countrie ; And he is for this bonnie lass, Her bridegroom for to be. �6 He's ask'd her father and mother, The chief of a' her kin'; And then he ask'd the bonnie lass, And did her favour win. Doun came an English gentleman, Doun from the English border ; He is for this bonnie lass. To keep his house in order. He ask'd her father and mother, As I do hear them say; But lie never ask'd the lass herseF, Till on her wedding day. But she has wrote a long letter, And seal'd it with her hand : And sent it to lord Lamington, To let him understand. The first line o' the letter he read, He was baith glad and fain, But or he read the letter o'er, He was baith pale and wan. Then he has sent a messenger, And out through all his land ; And four-and-twenty armed men, Were all at his command. But he has left his merry men all; Left them on the lee ; And he's awa' to the wedding house,* To see what he could see. �7 But when he came to the wedding Iioum.*,. As I do understand ; There were four and twenty belted knights, Sat at a table round. * tixriif flwUPv ixi(ol> bnA. They rose all to honour him, For he was of high renown ; They rose all for to welcome him, And bade him to sit down. O meikle was the good red wine, In silver cups did flow ; But aye she drank to Lamington, For with him would she go. 0 meikle was the good red wine, In silver cups gaed round ;. At length they began to whisper words, None could them understand. " 0 came ye here for sport, young man, Or came ye here foi play ? Or came ye for our bonnie bride, On this her wedding day ? " " I came not here for sport," he said, " Neither did I for play ; But for one word o* your bonnie bride* I'll mount and go away." They set her maids behind her, To hear what they would say ; But the first question he ask'd at her, Was always answered nay ; �8 The next question he ask'd at her, Was " Mount and come away?" It's up the Couden bank, And doun the Couden brae ; And aye she made the trumpet sound, It's a weel won play. O meikle was the blood was shed, Upon the Couden brae ; And aye she made the trumpet sound, It's a' fair play. Come a' ye English gentlemen, That is of England born; Come na doun to Scotland, For fear ye get the scorn. They'll feed ye up wi' flattering words, And that's foul play ; And they'll dress you frogs instead of fish, Just on your wedding day � Document A resource containing textual data.

The distinction between titles and alternative titles is application-specific. Catherine Johnstone Description An account of the resource '77' printed at the bottom of the title-page. Abstract A summary of the resource. A knight has a long affair with a cottage maiden, who he loves, but he must break it off with her when he becomes betrothed to the king’s daughter. She receives the news well and wishes him well, although she appears sad for herself. When he rides to court and is welcomed by the king and his veiled betrothed, his conscience bids him to be honest and break his engagement because he loves another. The king threatens to have him killed, which the knight welcomes, but then the king’s daughter throws off her veil and reveals that she is the same cottage maiden who he loved. In the second song, a beautiful young woman is courted by first the laird of Lamington and then by an English border lord. She breaks of her engagement to Lamington by letter and agrees to marry the English lord. Lamington rushes to her wedding celebrations, where he infiltrates the English knights and approaches Catherine, asking her to run away with him, which she does. Blood is shed on both sides when Lamington’s men at arms clash with the knights, but they ultimately escape and marry. The song ends with a caution to any Englishmen who seek brides in Scotland, who will “feed ye up wi’ flattering words, And that’s foul play; And they’ll dress you as frogs instead of fish, Just on your wedding day.” Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Cowden, England Subject The topic of the resource Courtship and Marriage Fairy Tales & Folklore Chapbooks - Scotland - Glasgow Ballads and songs Is Referenced By A related resource that references, cites, or otherwise points to the described resource. <a title="University of Glasgow Union Catalogue of Scottish Chapbooks" href="http://special.lib.gla.ac.uk/chapbooks/search/">University of Glasgow Union Catalogue of Scottish Chapbooks&nbsp;</a> Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Archival and Special Collections, University of Guelph Library, Guelph, Ontario, Canada Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource In the public domain; For high quality reproductions, contact Archival & Special Collections, University of Guelph. libaspc@uoguelph.ca, 519-824-4120, Ext. 53413 Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource [1840-1850] per National Library of Scotland Extent The size or duration of the resource. 8 pages 16 cm Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource JPEGs and PDF derived from master file, which was scanned from the original book in 24-bit color at 600 dpi in TIFF format using an Epson Expression 10000XL scanner.

Looking to him with the little light the moon afforded, 1 took him to be Collector Castlelaw, who had a mind A to put a trick upon me, and immediately I struck with all my force with my cane, thinking 1 should leave a mark upon him that would make him remember his presumption; .but although sensible I aimed as well as ever I did in my life, yet uiy cane finding no resistance, but flying out of my hand tg the distance of sixty fet, and observing it by its white head, I dismounted and took it up, but had some difficulty in mounting again, �i 4 partly by reason of a certain sort of trembling throughout my whole joints, something also anger had its share in my confusion; for though he laughed when my staff flew out of my hand, | Y coming up with him again, '(who" halted all the j time I was seeking my staff,) I asked him once f more who h e - w a ^ fe -answered, The Laird of Cool. I enquired, First, if he was the Laird oi Cool. Secondly, What brought him thither? and, Thirdly, What was his business with m e ? ' he answered, The reason that I want you is, that I know you are disposed to do for me what none of your brethren in Nithsdale will so much . as: attempt,'though it serve never so good a pur| pose. I told him, I would never refuse to do any thing to serve a good purpose, if I thought • vWk Obliged to do it as my duty. He answered, Mnce I had undertaken what few in Nithsdale Would, for he had tried several persons oil that subject, who were more obliged to him than I was to any person living. Upon bridle reins, and asked in surprise, what I had undertaken ? he answered, That on Sabbatti last, I heard you condemned Mr. Paton, and the other ministers of Dumfries, foi dissuading Mr. Merizies from keeping his appointment with me ; and i f you had been in their place, would have persuaded the lad to do as THaired, and that yl5tt would hare juioa bjid JuJ tiiia^a ^nijiufoai ni vjlij'jifiil f �5 gone with him yourself, if he had been afraid ; and if you had been in Mr. Paton's place, you would have delivered my commissions yourself, as they tended to do several persons justice. I asked him, Pray, Cool, who informed you that I talked at that rate ? to which he answered, You must know that we are acquainted with fmany things that the living know nothing about; these things you did say, and much more to that purpose, and deliver my commissions to my loving wife. Upon this I said, 'tis a pity Cool, that you who know so many things should not know the difference between an absolute and conditional promise; 1 did,, indeed, at the time you mention, blame Mr. Patony folr I thought him justly blameablei im hindering- the lad'to meet with you, and if I had been in his place, I w^uld havie acted quite the reverse ; butr>I did never .say, that if you would come to Innerwick and employ me, that I would g o a i the way to-Ditafrigs on such an errand, that is what never s6 much as entered into my thoughts. Be answered, What were your thoughts I don't pretend }to 1:now* but I can depend on mv information these* were your words; but I fsee you aFe in some disorder, I will wait upon y iu. when you have more presence of mind. By this time we were at James JOickson's iaclosure, below the church-yard ; ; ^ud- while �6 was recollecting in my mind, if ever I had spoken these words he alledged, he broke off from me through the church-yard, with greater violence than any man on horseback is capable of, with such a singing and buzzing noise, as put me in greater disorder than I was in all the time I was with him. I came to my house, and my wife observed more than ordinary paleness in my countenance, and alledged that something ailed me. I called for a dram, and told her I was a little uneasy. After I found myself a little refreshed, I went to my closet to meditate on this most astonishing adventure. Upon the 5th of March, 1722, being at Harehead, baptizing the shepherd's child, I came off about sunsetting, and near Wm. White's march the Laird of Cool came up with me as formerly, and after his first salutation, bade me not be afraid. I told him I was not in the least afraid, in the name of G O D and Christ my Saviour, that he would do me the least harm; for I knew that he in whom I trusted, was stronger than all they put together; and if any of them should attempt to do, even to the horse that I ride upon, as you have done to Doctor Menzie's man, I have free access to complain to my Lord and Master, to the lash whose resentment you are liable as now as before. �Cool. YdU need not.multiply words on that head, for you are safe with me, and safer, if safer can be, than when I was alive. <; OgU. Well then, (gftgk let me ^ v e a peaceable and easy conversation with you for the time we, ride together, and give[me some information concerning the affairs of the other world, for no man inclines to lose his time in conversing with the dead, without hearing or learning something ^ S ^ i o i w l obh mso snoTted mnJoi fens Cool. Well,. Sir, I will satisfy you as far r.s 1 .think proper and convenient. Let me know what information you wantq nco I Qgil. ?^n<>[q uoy May I then ask you, if you be in a, state of happiness or not? -j ori vih lot . dAir Cool. There are a great many things I can answer, that the living are ignorant of; there are a great j&any things that, notwithstanding the additional knowledge I have acquired since my death, I cannott answer; ai)d th^tejjwe A great many may ofjwjtfch the last is one, that I will not answer. ?0{>n oi esnifoni Ogil. Then how to ^anagfL o w qqiv} versation; whatever I eftqjL&ve of you, 1 see you c^u^^Asily ^Mft i^ia 1 ^ j thal1jmigliitt profit iiaore by coiM^fswg m^lt .ahijsm hrrr> gse&sxierni Cool. You may try. .il^eb hi vhvh snob Ogil. Well, then, what sort of a body is thaf �8 you appear in ; and what sort of a horse is that you lide upon, which appears to be so full of metal ? Cool. You may depend upon it, it is not the same body that I was witness to your marriage in, nor in which I died, for that is in the grave rotting ; but it is such a body as serves me in a moment, for I can fly as fleet with it as my soul can do Without it; so that I can go to Dumfries, and return again, before you can ride twice the length of your horse, nay, if I have a mind to go to London, or Jerusalem, or to the moon, if you please, I can perform all these journies equally soon, for it costs me nothing but a thought or wish : for this body is as fleet as your thought, for in the moment of time you can turn your thoughts on Rome, I can go there in person : and as for my horse, he is much like myself, for he is Andrew Johnston, my tenant, who died fortyeight hours before me. I •^wari/ijomifio I edjiiob Ogil. So it seems when Andrew Johnston inclines to ride, you must serve him ik the quality of an horse, as he does you now. Cool. You are m i s t a k e i i . ' f w * i ^ w 5 noiffiiwr Ogil. I thought that all distinctions between mistresses and maids, lairds and tenants, had beet) done away at death. « (hod r 1o tin* u d rr (wmIi ,11s// > .IijO �ft Cool. True it is, but you do not t,ake 4p matter* '• • .\t . ; , . : how < Ogil. This is one of the questions you wc^i'fc odw 9moR 9*ff> 9 ^ 1 Jniiui *?odto od} Cooll You are mistaken, for the question I can answer, and after you may understand it. Ogil. Well then, Cool, have you never ypx appeared before God, nor received any sentence from him as a Judge. q JiH-'uur- a v^fnwn Cool. Never yet. Ogil. I know you was a scholar, Cool, and 'tis generally believed there is a private judgment, besides the general at the great day, the former immediately after death.—Upon this lie interrupted me, arguing. Cool. No such thing, no such thing! No trial-, no trial till the great day! The heaven which good men enjoy after death, consists o n l y in the serenity of their minds, and the satisfaction of a good conscience; and the certain hopes they uave of eternal^joy, when that day shall come. The punishment or hell of the wicked, immediately after death, consists in the stings of an awakened conscience, and : the .terrors -of • facing: gthe great Judge! and the sensible apprehensions of eternal torments ensuing! And this bears still a due proportion to the evils they did when living. S<r indeed the state of some g ood folks differ but �1 0 little in happiness from what they enjoyed in the world, save only that they are free from thebody, and the ^ins and sorrows that attended it. )On the other hand, there are some who may be?, s$id ratter rO > to have been good, than that theyare i| wicked H while livings their state is not .easily disr 'iHgittifeted from that of the former ; and under * hat1 class comes a great herd of souls; a vast number of ignorant people, who have not much minded the affairs of eternity, but/at the Same irme have lived in -much indolence, ignorance ^MjiotBiriaqcai "i oiedt hsvsiiod ^Ilmsuo^ eh* Ggil. I thought that their rejecting the terms of salvation offered, was sufficient ground for God to punish them with eternal, displeasure; and as4o their ignorance, thatcould neverexcuse them, since they live in a p k c e oij the W f W , where the true knowledge of these things^migjit have teen easily attained. ('' • - U . • • 5. Cool. They never properly rejected the terms ' of salvation; fthey nev^r, strictly speaking, Rejected Christ; poor souls, they had as greatl a liking both to him and heaven, as thei? gross imaginations: were capable of ^ Impartial reason nMst make many allowances, as the stupidity of their parents,7 want of education, distance from people of good sense and knowledge, and the Mnintferrdpt^d applications they, were oblige4 t° �11 give to their secular affairs for their daily bread, the impious treachery of their pastors, who persuaded them, that if they were of such a party all was well; and many other consideratibns which God, who is pure and perfect reason itself, will not overlook : these are not sp much under the load of divine displeasure, as they are out of his grace and favour; and you know it is one thing to be discouraged, and quite another thing to be persecuted with all the power and rage of an incensed earthly king. I assure you, mens* faces are not more various and different in the world, Hi' ' ViiLl j than their circumstances are after death. Ogil. I am loath to believe all that you have said at this time. Cool, (but,I will not dispute those matters with you) because some things you have advanced seem to contradict the Scriptures, which I shall always look upon as the infallible truth of God. For I find, in the parable of Dives and Lazarus, that the one was immediately after death carried up by the angels into Abraham's bosom, and the other immediately thrust down to hell. 9IB b9iiB(pb tmtn boog 'io 8ii;iiqa Cool. Excuse me, Sir, that does no»r contradict one word that I have said, but you seem not to understand the parable, whose only end is to illustrate the truth, that a man be very happy and 'flourishing' in this world, and wretched and �it miserable in the next; and that a man may be miserable in this world, and happy and glorious W » # f 4i«bt4* io li Jfifll Ogil. BeitfSb, Cool, I shall yield that point to you, and pass to another, which has afforded me much speculation since our last encounter ; and that is, How you came to know that I talked after the manner that I did concerning Mr. Paton, on the first Skbbath o f February last. Was you present with me, but invisible ? He answered very haughtily, No, Sir, I was not present myself. I answered, I would not have you angry, Cool, I proposed this question for my own satisfaction, but if you don't think proper to answer, let it pass. After he had paused, with his eyes on the ground, for three or four minutes of time at most, with some haste and seeming h ">' ;.j;WW* 1 cheerfulness, says. Cool. Well, Sir, I will satisfy you in that point. You must know that there are sent from heaven, angels to guard and comfort and to do other good services to good people, and even the spirits of good men departed are employed in t^Mfr^MW^ob Ifidi f <9in SMI^M .roovj Ogil. And do you not think that every man has a good angel ? fousq ed* bfuii^ienua o i Jon Cool. No, but a great many particular men have: there are but few houses of distinction �13 especially, but what have at least one attending them; and from what you have already heard of spirits, it is no difficult matter to understand how they may be serviceable to each particular member, though at different places at a great distance. Many are the good offices which the good angels do to them that fear God, though many times they are not sensible of i t : and I know assuredly, that one powerful angel, or even an active clever soul departed, may be sufficient for some villages; but for your great cities, such as London, Edinburgh, or the like, there is one great angel, that has the superin tendance of the whole ; and there are inferior angels, or souls departed, to whose particulars care such a man, of such a particular weight or business, is committed. Now, Sir, the kingdom of Satan does ape the kingdom of Christ as much in matters of politics, as can be, well knowing that the court of wisdom is from above ; so that from thence are sent out missionaries in the same order. But because the kingdom of Satan is much better replenished than the other, instead of one devil, there are in many instances two or three commissioned to attend a particular family of influence and distinction. Ogil. I read that there are ten thousand times ten thousand of angels that wait upon God, and sing his praise and do his will, and I cannot �14 understand how the good angels dan be <§ IflMiloy S&jftfae ^xriR uov iisdw moil bnfi f inadJ Cool. Did not I say that whatever the number be, the spirits departed are employed in the same business ; so that as to the number of original deities, whereof Satan is chief, I cannot determine, but you need not doubt but there are more souls departed in that place, which in a loose sense you call helh by almost an infinity, than what are gone to that place, which in a like sense you call heaven, which likewise are employed in the same purpose; and I can assure you that there is as great n difference between angels, both good and bad, as there is among men, with respect to their senge, knowledge, cunning, cleverness, and action; nay, which is more, the departed souls on both sides, o u t d o severals, from their very first departure, of the original angels. This you will perhaps think a paradox, but is true. Ogil. I do not doubt it, but what is that to my question, about which I am solicitous ? Cool. Take a little patience, Sir ; from what I have said you might have understood me; if ypu had your thoughts about you ; but I shall explain Myself to you. Both the good and the bad angels have stated times of rendezvous, and the principal angels, who have the charge either of towns, cities, or kingdoms, not to mention par- �15 tloular. persona, villages, and Amities, and all that is transacted in these several parts o f the eouniryiare. there-made open : and at their re-encounter on each side, every thing is told, as in you? parish, ih milns, kilns, and smithies, with this difference that many things false are talked at the living re-encounters, but nothing but what is exact truth, is said or told among the dead ; only:I must observe to you, that, as I aim crediU ably in formed, several of the inferior bad angels, and souls of wicked men departed, have told many things that they hkve done, and then When a more intelligent spirit is selt out upon enquiry, and the report of the former seeding doubtful, he brings in a contrary report,' and makes it appear truth, the former fares very i l l : neveiWeless their regard to truth iffr0t*efl'4s i t ; #F'\vhila ^thfe} observe the truth, they do their business and keep their station, for God truth. Ogil. So much truth being among the'|>t>od angels, I,am-'apt to think that lies and falsehood will be as much in vogue among the bad. Cool. A gross mistake, and it is not alone* the mistake which the living folks fall under With respect to the other world; for tfie ^ s e ; plainly ^s this, an ill mah will not stick at a falsfeh&dd tb p ^ » i o t e his design ; ds little will air evil ^o ul departed, stop at any thing that can makd hirtMfeJf �46 successful; but in admitting report he must tell the truth, or woe be to him. But besides their monthly, quarterly* or yearly meetings, or whatever they be, departed souls acquainted, may take a trip to see one another yearly, weekly, daily, or oftener if they please. Thus then I answer your question that you was so much concerned about; for my information was from no less than three persons, viz. Aikman, who attends Thurston's family; James Corbet, who waits upon Mr. Paton; for at that time he was then looking after Mrs. Sarah Paton, who was at your house; and an original emissary appointed to I f f l & J l e r i n c f t vfo 'io Jioqoi srit biu; At this I was much surprised, and after a little thinking, I asked him, And is there really, Cool, an emissary from hell, in whatever sense you take it, that attends my family ? Cool. You may depfend upon it. Ogil. And what do you think is his business ? Cool. T o divert you from your duty, and cause you to do as many ill things as he can; for much depends on having the minister on their ishrui Hut ajlloi gnivil sdi Hqirfw odfitaim Upon this I was struck with a sort of terror, which I cannot account for. In the mean time he said several things I did not understand. But after coming to my former presence of mind, said. �17 Ogil. But, Cool, tell me in earnest, if there be a devil that attends niy family, though invisible. CooL Just as sure as you are breathing, but be not so mueh dejected upon this information, for 1 telUyou likewise, that there is a good angel who attends you, who is stronger than the other. Ogil. Are you sure of that, C o o l ? Cool. Yes, there is one riding oh your right hand, who might as well have been elsewhere, for I meant you no harm. Ogil. And how long has he been with me ? Cool. Only since We passed Brand*s-lee, but now he is gone. Ogil. We are just upon Elenscleugh, and ) desire to part with you, though perhaps I have gained more by conversation than I could have other wise done in a twelvemonth ; I choose rather to see you another time, when you're at leisure and I wish it were at as great a distance from fHiteft^BllWyoft^cfiJi? 11 ^ H) t Cool. 1 * Be it so, Sir; but I hope you will be as obliging to me, next re-encounter, as I have ifeen i b ybWtn& r Ogil. 5 fi<I <H Vi nK I promise you I will, as far as is con- sistent with my duty to my Lord and Mastei Christ Jesus: and since you have obliged me so much by information, J will answer all the qiites- �fcions you propose, as far as consists witji my Jpipwledgej but f believe you want no inforillation from me. . Jf!t I came not here to be instructed by ; CooJ. you, but I want your help of another kind. Upon the 5th of April, 1722, as I was returning from f Old Hamstocks, Cool came up with me on horseback at the foot of the ruinous inclosure, before we came to D o d ; I told him his last conversation had proved §o acceptable to me, that I was well pleased to see, him agaiii; that there was a number of things that I wanted to inform myself further of, if he would be so good as satisfy me. sijo-q ei sd won Cool. Last time we met, I refused you nothing you asked; and now I expect that you shall refuse me nothing that I shall ask. Ogil. Nothing, Sir, that is in my power, oy that I can do with safety^ to my reputation and character. What then are your demands. Cool. All that I desire of you is, that as you prpmjs^c| Jfyaj^ pn ^ SaJbbath day you wosuld .go to my wife, who now possesses all my effects, and tell her the following particulars: and tell h^r in my n.^me to j rectify th$$$ ^att^rs. jflfgst, That I was owing justly to Provost Crosby, 501. Scots, and three years interest, but on hearing of his death, my good-brother the Laird of C — I �w and I forged a discharge, narrated the bond, the sum, and other particulars, with this honourable clause, " And at the time it had fallen by, and could not be found. ,, With an obligation on the Provost's part to deliver up this Bond as soon at he could hit upon it. And this discharge was dated three months before the Provost's death. And when his son and successor, Andrew Crosby, wrote to me concerning this Bond, I came to him and shewed him the forged discharge, which silenced him; so that I got up my bond without more ado. And when I heard of Robert Kennedy's death, with the same help of C—1, I got a bill upon him for 1901. of which I got full • and complete payment, C—1 got the half. When I was at Dumfries, the same day that Robert ©Her died, to whom I was owing an account of 361. G—1, my good-brother, was then) at London, and not being able of myself, being but a bad writer, to make out a discharge of the account, which I; wan ted, I met accidently with one Robert Boyd, a poor Writer lad in Dumfries .; I took him to Mrs* Carnodk's, and gave him a» bottle of wine, and told him I had paid 'Thomas Grier's account but had neglected to get ;a dfecharge, and if he would help me to one* T w o £dd reward him. He flew away from me in a great passion, sayings he would rather he hanged * but s �20 if I had a mind for these things, 1 had better wait till C—1 came home. This gave me great trouble, fearing- what G - J and I had done formerly was no secret. I followed Boyd to the street, and made an apology, saying, I was jesting, commending him for his honesty, and got his promise never to repeat what had passed. I sent for my Cousin B^r-m H—rie, your goodbrother, who with no difficulty, for a guinea and a half, undertook and performed all that I wanted ; and for a guinea more made me up a discharge for 2001, Scots that I was owing to your fatherin-law, and his friend Mr. Muirhead, which discharge I gave to John Ewart, when he desired the money, and he at my desire? produced it to you, which you sustained. A great many of the like instances were told, of which I cannot remember the persons names and things; but, says he, what vexes me more than all these, is the injustice I did Homer M a x well, tenant to my Lord Nithsdale, for whom I was factor. I borrowed 20001. from him, 5001 of which he borrowed from another hand : I gave him my bond, and, for reasons I contrived, I obliged him to secrecy. H e died within the yean and left nine children, his wife being dead before himself. I came to seal up his papers for my Wd's security; his eldest daughter intreated me �21 to look through them all, and to give her an account what was their stock, and what was their debt. 1 very willingly undertook it, and in going through the papers, I put my own bond in my p$cke$0, tj^s circumstances proving bad, his nine children are now starving. These things 1 desire you to represent to my wife, and take her brother with you, and let them be immediately rectified, for she has a sufficient fund to do it upon ; and if it were done. 1 think I would be easy and therefore I hope you will make no delay. After a short pause, I answered, Tis a good errand Cool, you are sending me to do justice to the oppressed and injured^ but notwithstanding I see myself come in for 2001. Scots, yet X beg a little time to consider the matter. Ar^d since I find you are as much master of reason now as ever, and more than ever, I will reason upon the matter in its general view, and then with respect to the expediency of my being the messenger; and jsmxI will do \yithluu / manner T J * \ Bjit this •669niow" all »I J 7 ofAfrankness* I\ T T From what you have said, I see clearly what your present condition is, so that I need not ask any more questions on (that head; and you need not bid me take courage, for at this moment I am no more afraid of you than a new born child. Cool. Well, say on. Ogil. Tell me then, since such is your ability �<>o that you can fly 9, thousand miieg in the twinkling ^f an eye, if your desire to do the oppressed jusdee, .be as great as you what's the rfeks- dont fly to the coffers of some rich Jew or Banker, where are thousands df gold and silver^ invisibly left, and invisibly return it to the coffers of the injured ? A n d since your wife has sufficient fund, and more, why cannot you empty her purse invisibly, to make these people amends. Cool. Because I cannot. Ogil, Y o u have satisfied me entirely upon that head. But pray, Cool, what is the reason that you cannot g o to your wife yourself, and tell her What you have a mind; I should think this a more sure way to gain your point. Ogil. That is not an answer to me, CooL Mool. That is one of the ques tions that I told you long ago I would not answer: but if you go as I desire, I promise to give you full satisfaction after you have done your business.

He asked me, if I had coiisidered the matter he had.recommemled ? I told him I had, and was in �23 like game opinion I was in when we parted; that I would not possibly undertake his commissions, unless he could give me them in writing under his hand. I told him that the list; of his grievances were so great, that I could not possibly remember them without being put in writing; and that I wanted nothing bufcuteason to determine toe in that, and all other affairs of m y know, says he, this M a mere evasion>~biH teU me if the Laird otoDhurston will do ito?^ J am- sur% said I, he will n o t : and if he should, I would do all that I could to hinder him;i&rul think h e k m as little to do in these matters as.myself.

I would be glad to hear a reason that is solid, for not speaking to your wife yourself*? but, however, any rational creature may see what a fool I would make of myself, if I would g o to Dumfries, and tell your wife you had appeared to me, and told so ma^y^|orgeries and villanies that you had commitea, and" that she behoved to make reparation; the consequence might perhaps Ve, that rhe would seold me ; for she would be �24 loath to part with any money she possesses, and therefore tell me I was mad, or possibly pursue me for calumny; how would I vindicate myself, how eould I prove that you-ever* spoke with me H Mr. Paton, and other ministers, in Dumfries would tell me, the devil had spoken with m e ; and why should I repeat these things for truth, which he, that was a liar from the beginning, had told m e ; C—-p—1 and B-—r H—-rie would be upon me, and pursue me before the Commissary ; every body would look upon mbim brain-sick or mad * therefore I entreat you do not insist upon sending me so ridiculous an errand.
