BY W I L L I A M R E I D . Of a the queer carls that daunder'd the toon, Though ye wad hae daucker'd ilk street up an' doon, The queerest of a' ye wad gat roon an' roon, Wad be an auld bodie ca'd Ronald. ABERDEEN : PRINTED FOR THE AUTHOR. 1 8 7 3. �AULD RONALD. Of a' the queer carls that daunder'd the toon Though yew ad hae daucker'd ilk street up an' doon, The queerest of a' ye wad gat roon an' roon, Wad been an auld bodie ca'd Ronald. But whaur he cam' frae, or whan he cam hither, And wha was his father or gin he'd a mither, A' the folk I heard speak on't aye seem'd in swither, They nee'r gat a word on't frae Ronald. In appearance he looked like a senator Greek In toga or gown when rising to speak, Archimedian fire frae his flashin' eyes leaped, For nature's own noble was Ronald. His head it was o' the largest demensions, His brain was bang fou o' the drollest inventions; Inventors far less frae the Queen had got pensions, But she sair neglecit oor Ronald. Of a' kinds o' knowledge, of a' kinds o' lear', Auld Ronald had plenty enouch an' to spare; Rab Rorrisons wallet beside it were bare, He wad ta'en aff his bannet to Ronald. His speech was correct, aye sae terse and weel stated, Each sentence, each accent, sae weel modulated, E'en Garrick or Johnson wad gane half distracted Wi' envy, had they but heard Ronald. �3 He faund oot mair wonders than I could e're tell, New methods for makin' an' suppin' your kail, An' new farrant parritch frae essence o' meal, 0 great Epicurian Ronald. He made a machine for spellin' and writing That nane could gae wrang whan letters inditin'; An' gags for auld wives to keep them frae flytin' Mere pla' wark, their makin' to Ronald. He invented a stove for augmentin the heat Of a lang winter nicht wi' the help o' ae peat, In they times o' dear coal, had he lived to see't. They could ne'er raised the price on auld Ronald. His feet were encased in shoon o' his plannin,' Sae supple and swack, the toes made for springing Constructed for ease, for wakin,' or rinnin,' They fitted like gloves on auld Ronald. Amang a' the lave, for he tauld mair than me, He could catch a' the fishes that swim in the sea, Nae doot he could dane't for he ne'er tauld a lie, Though some ablichs dooted auld Ronald. An' though he was auld, and his claedin' but scanty, Though mealpock and almorie were gey aften empty, Yet still he was blithe as a young loon o' twenty, For blithsome and cheerie was Ronald. Though poor as the poor, wi' the poor he wad share His very last coin or a whack o' his fare, The beasts o' the field, or the birds o' the air, Thocht nae less 'bout the morrow than Ronald, �4 Some folk thought him crazed, a wee bit dementit, But this statement I'll make,if the printer will print it, There's a craze in maist folk if they only but kent it, We're sib in some things to auld Ronald. But death, the grim fae o' the wise man an fool, Cam' his way, laid him low, noo he sleeps wi' the mool, An left us to mourn him wi' sorrow an' dool, For we'll ne'er see anither like Ronald. And though he's awa, still in memory we'll cherish, His gifts and his worth, we will never let perish, That his name may livegreen is thehopean' the fond wish Of a' that e're kent and lo'ed Ronald. 'TIS AN ILL WIND THAT BLAWS NAEBODY GWEED. Some sing o' the winds, how they bellow and rave, O' howlin tornado by land and by wave, But let them sing on, for I hold by the creed— " It is an ill wind that blaws naebody gweed." Ye mind last October we waukend ae morn To witness the wrack o' our toon by the storm, Soon warkmen were busy on sclatin' an' lead, For " tis an ill wind that blaws naebody gweed." Yon puffy-cheeked parson can tell you richt weel How Eve gaed to wrack wi' the help o' the De'il, To him it is raiment, and weel buttered bread, For " tis an ill wind that blaws naebody gweed." �When neebours fa' oot ower a wee wind o' jaw, To get satisfaction they rin to the law, Ere the law gets its fee they are scrimpit indeed, For " tis an ill wind that blaws naebody gweed." There's puir Johnnie Drygirse has lost his auld wife, Wi' a lang scaldin' tongue she tormented his life, E'en Johnnie grinned oot when he heard she was dead, " It is an ill win' that blaws naebody gweed." There's Tippler, ye ken him, on drink spends his gains, A' busket in rags are his wife and his weans, But ale-wives gae silk-clad frae tae to the head, For " ti's an ill win' that blaws naebody gweed." There's Cuddie wha ruined himsel' by degrees, Wi' his dinners an' wines an' extravagant sprees. His comrades got fat on the excellent feed, For " ti's an' ill win' that blaws naebody gweed." There's Sandy the souter wha courted Bell Duff, Last week at some wordie frae her took the huff, He aff doon to Maggie, got buckled wi' speed, For " ti's an ill win' that blaws naebody gweed." There's Peter got drunk at the Kirktoun o' Echt, He flang doon his claes for he wanted to fecht, A loon wi' the things flew awa like a glede, For ti's an ill win' that blaws naebody gweed." When statesmen brak doon, or a king gets a fa,' Some chiel springs to power, claps his foot to the ba,' Thus ilk change o' fortune proves stronger my creed, " It is an ill win' that blaws naebody gweed." HHHB �6 MY MITHER TONGUE. My mither tongue, my mither tongue, Though grander speech there be, And lowly is thy hame attire Your dearer far to me, Than flaunting speech in gaudy dress That ever poet sung, What words can gae about the heart Sae warm's the mither tongue. The mither tongue, the mither tongue, The first we try to learn, The words come sweetly on mine ear I lispet when a bairn ; In skuleboy days we English gat, An' by our auld Scotch flung, But skule-hours past an' out to play We spak our mither tongue. My mither tongue, my mither tongue Rows saft and bonnilie In mony a lay and cantie sang As ane could wish to see, The strains that Allan, Rab, and Hogg, Wi' mony mair hae sung, The warld canna boast sic sangs There's in my mither tongue. My mither tongue, my mither tongue, What heart could thee withstan' Can e'e keep dry to hear thy voice Far in a foreign lan.' �7 Ah no the scenes o' early days Strong o'er my memory come, The tears they glint adoun my cheek To hear my mither tongue. My mither tongue, my mither tongue, Back through the drift o' years Ye wake a scene : a Scottish glen— My father's cot appears, A siller burnie fresh an' clear Wi' gouden broom o'erhung— An' weel-kent faces o' auld frien's, "Wha spak my mither tongue. My mither tongue, my mither tongue, 0, lang o'er Scotlan' wide, May ye be heard in ilka hame A t ilka ingleside O, may your couthie crack be lo'ed, Endear'd to auld an' young, An' doubly shamed the dastard loon Wha slights his mither tongue. TO T H E SCOTTISH VOLUNTEERS. I will sing o' the land where the bold tartans wave, Where the thistle grows green 'mid the free, 'Tis the land o' the hills, dark heath, and clear rills, That gather in foam to the sea. Oh wha wadna lo'e thee, Scotland, Scotland, Land o' the mountain and lake, Oh wha wadna arm when danger surrounds thee Wha wadna bleed for thy sake. �8 ' T i s the land o' the heroes who barr'd the advance Of the conquering cohorts of Rome, [shocks Where the green pine tree rocks 'neath the north tempest Where the fierce eagle still finds a home. Oh, wha wadna lo'e thee, Scotland, Scotland, &c. 'Tis the land where bold Wallace his banner unfurled, And marshalled our sires to the fight; Oh, Wallace thy name on the bright crest of fame Will dim not but ever be bright. Oh, wha wadna lo'e thee, Scotland, Scotland, &c. 'Tis the land o' the martyr, the fearless, and stern, Who bowed not to Rome's priestly ire; But strong in his trust in the God of the just, Gave his limbs to the rack or the fire. Oh, wha wadna lo'e thee, Scotland, Scotland, &c. Oh, lang lang may ye flourish thou land o' the Bruce, Of gallant king Robert the brave ; May thy hills aye be seen as they ever have been, Unconquered, untrod by a slave. Oh, wha wadna lo'e thee, Scotland, Scotland, &c. � https://scottishchapbooks.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/3d04090b673fc26e4b4a180620face81.jpg 0abae168760385beeac9ec6f42cae66d Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

Tis an ill wind that blaws naebody gweed My mither tongue Extent The size or duration of the resource. 8 pages Abstract A summary of the resource. A collection of four ballads, mostly humorous. The first is a satirical ballad about a local figure named Auld Ronald who appears to be well-known around Aberdeen. He is humorously portrayed as scantily clad, poor, and possibly a bit crazy, although he appears to be able to talk on many topics at length, including philosophy and cooking. The ballad also describes several of the supposed inventions that he has created throughout his lifetime, such as a specially designed stove, type-writer, shoes, and even a gag for old scolding women. The second song is a humorous account claiming that “’Tis an Ill Wind That Blaw’s Naebody Gweed [Good]” by describing bad things that happened to people that others benefitted from. The third song is an ode to the author’s ‘mither [mother] tongue’. He describes its role in his own life, growing up speaking it with friends and family, as well as its connections to kin abroad, and its beauty in songs sung past and present. It is not immediately clear if the author is referring to Gaelic (which is not mentioned by name) or to Scots, which the song is written in. The final song is addressed to the Scottish Volunteers, and spends most of its time describing the beauty, history, and heroism of Scotland and those who fight to defend it.

And thought I ne'er could alter, But Mary Gray's twa pawky een, They g a r my fancy falter. Now Bessy's hair's like a lint-tap, She smiles like a May morning, When Phoebus starts frae Thetis' lap, The hills with rays adorning: White is her neck, saft is her hand, Her waist and feet's fu' genty; With ilka grace she can command; Her lips, O vow! they're dainty. And Mary's locks are like a craw, Her een like diamonds glances; She's ay sae clean, redd up, and braw, She kills whene'er she dances; Blyth as a kid, with wit at will, She blooming, tight, and tall is, �3 And guides her airs sae gracefu' still, O Jove, she's like thy pallas.

Who's master A fight for the breeches York youre wanted Emigrants farewell Extent The size or duration of the resource. 8 pages 16 cm Abstract A summary of the resource. A collection of songs, at least some of which appear to have been sung at the Theatrical Pavilion in Glasgow. The first song is about a young man who is rejected by his first love, who he meets in church. One point of interest in this song is when the young man actually becomes physically ill as a result of his love and subsequent rejection of Betsey Baker; he is visited by a doctor who prescribes medicine, but nothing cures him except thoughts of his true love. The second is a humorous song about the fighting of a married couple over who was to be master of the house by fighting over who was to “wear the breeches.” The third song, also humorous, tells the common tale of the misadventures of a rogue who eventually weds an old woman for her wealth, and rejoices when she passes away. The last song is a lament of an emigrant leaving Scotland’s shores for North America. Is Referenced By A related resource that references, cites, or otherwise points to the described resource.

They both bore a fair reputation in the parish, and they were both beloved by their own friends and relations, He was sober, honest, active, and industrious,— exemplary in the common duties of private,—possessed of the humble virtues becoming his humble condition, and unstained by any of those gross vices that sometimes deform the character of the poor. She was modest, good tempered, contented, and religious—and much is contained in these four words. Beauty she was not thought to possess—nor did she attract attention ; but Whatever charm resides in pure health, innocence of heart, and simplicity of manners, that belonged to Fanny Raeburn; while there was nothing either about her face or figure to prevent her seeming even beautiful in the eyes of a lover �4 These two humble and happy persons were betrothed in marriage. Their affection had insensibly grown without any courtship, for they had lived daily in each others sight; and, undisturbed by jealously or rivalry, by agitating hopes or depressingfears, their hearts hsd been tenderly united long before their troth was solemnly pledged , and they now looked forward with a calm and rational satisfaction* to the happy years, which they humbly hoped might be stored up for them by a bountiful Providence. Their love was without romance, but it was warm, tender and true; they were prepared by its strength to makp any sacrifice for each other's sakes; and, had death taken away either of them before the wedding-day, the survivor might not perhaps have been clamorous in grief, or visited the grave of the departed with nightly lamentations, but not the less would that grief have been sincefe, and not the less faithful would memory have been to all the images of the past. Their marriage-day was fixed—and Allan Bruce had rented a small cottage, with a garden sloping down to the stream that cheered his native village. Thither,, in about two months, he was to take his sweet and affectionate Fanny—she was to. work with her needle as before—and he in the fields. No change was to take place in their lives, but a change of contentment to happiness; and if God prolonged to them the possession of health, and �5 blessed them with children, they feared not to bring them decently up, and to afford sunshine and shelter to the living flowers that might come to gladden their house. Such thoughts visited the souls of the lovers,—and they were becoming dearer aud dearer to one another every hour that brought them closer to their marriage-day. At this time Allan began to feel a slight dimness in his sight, of which he did not take much notice, attributing it to some indisposition brought on by the severity of his winter's work. For he had toiled late and early, during all weathers, and at every kind of labour, to gain a sum sufficient to furnish respectably his lowly dwelling, and also to array his sweet bride in wedding clothes of which she should not be ashamed. rl he dimness, however, each succeeding day, darkened and deepened, till even his Fanny's lace was indistinctly discerned by him, and he lost altogether the smile which never failed to brighten it whenever he appeared. Then he became sad and dispirited, for the fear of blindness fell upon him, and he thought of his steps being led in his helplessness by the hand of a child. He prayed to God to avert this calamity from him—but if not, to bestow upon him the virtue of resignation. He thought of the different blind men whom he had known, and as far as he could know, they all seemed happy. That belief pacified his soul, when it was about to �6 give way to a passionate despair; and every morning at sunrise when the fast advancing verdure of spring seemed more dim and glimmering before his eyes, he felt his soul more and more resigned to that final extinction of the day's blessed light, which he knew must be his doom before the earth was covered with the flowers and fragrance of June. It was as he had feared; and Allan Bruce was now stone-blind, Fanny's voice had always been sweet to his ear, and now it was sweeter still when heard jn tlie darkness. Sweet had been the kisses which breathed from Fanny's lips, while his eyes delighted in their rosy freshness. But sweeter were they now when they touched his eye lids, and he felt upon his cheeks her fast trinkiing tears. She visited him in his father's house, and led him with her gently guiding hands into the adjacent fields, and down along the stream which he said he liked to hear murmuring by; and then they talked together about themselves, and on their knees prayed to God to counsel them what to do in their distress. These Meetings were always happy meetings to them both, notwithstanding the many mournful thoughts with which they were necessarily attended; but to Allan Bruce they yielded a support �7 that did not forsake him in his hours of uncompanioned darkness. His love, which had formerly been joyful in the warmth of youth, and in the near prospect of enjoyment, was now chastened by the sad sense of his unfortunate condition, and rendered thereby a deep and devout emotion which had its comfort in its own unwitnessed privacy and imperishable truth. The tones of hte Fanny's voice were with him on his midnight bed, when his affliction was like to overcome his fortitude ; and to know that he was still tenderly beloved by that gentle and innocent friend, was a thought that gave light to darkness, and suffered sleep to fall balmily on lids that shut up eyes already dark as in profoundest slumher. The meek fold of her pitying embrace was with him in the vague uncertainty of h ted reams; and often he saw faces in his sleep beaming consolation upon him, that always assumed at last Fanny's features, and as they grew more distinct, brightened up into a perfect likeness of his own faithful and disinterested maiden. He lay down with her image, because it was in his evening prayers; he rose up with her image, or it came gliding in upon him, as he knelt down at his bed-side in the warm beams of the unseen morning light. - i tloo bris a^B a id to elnemaeuirw mil i»i .auoin&q Allan and Fanny were children of poor parents; and when he became blind, they, and indeed all their friends and relations, set their faces against �8 marriage. This they did in kindness to them both, for prudence is one of the best virtues of the poor, and to indulge even the holiest affections of our nature, seems to them to be sinful, if an affliction from God s hand intimates that such union would lead to sorrow and distress. The same thoughts had taken possession of Allan's own soul; and loving Fanny Raeburn, with a perfect affection, why should he wish her, in the bright and sunny days of her youthful prime, to become chained to a Blind Man's Steps, kept in constant poverty and drudgery for his sake, and imprisoned in a lonesome hut, during the freedom of her age, and the joyfulness of nature ringing over the earth? " It has pleased God." said the blind man to himself, " that our marriage should not be. Let Fanny, if she chooses, some time or other, marry another, and be happy." And as the thought arose, he felt the bitterness of the cup, and wished that he might soon be in his grave. For, while his eyes were not thus dark, he saw many things that gave him pleasure, besides his Fanny, well as he loved her; nor had his been an absorbing passion, although most sincere. He had often been happy at his work, with his companions, in the amusements of his age and condition, with the members of his own family, without thinking even of his dear Fanny Raeburn. She was not often, to be sure, entirely out of his �9 thoughts, for the consciousness of loving her, and of being beloved, accompanied his steps, although he scarcely knew it, just as one who lives on a lake side, or by the murmur of a stream, may feel the brightness and the shadows of the one, and hear the constant music of the other, mingling as a remembrance or a dream with the inipressions, thoughts, passions, and feelings of his ordinary human life. But now, what had been less pleasant or necessary to him all faded away and he saw in his darkness, one image only—Fanny Raeburn— he heard in his darkness one sound only—Fanny Raeburn's voice. Was she to smile in another man's house ? Surely, that could not be; for her smiles were his and to transfer them to another, seemed to him to be as impossible, as for a mother to forget her own children, and pour with equal fondness her smiles upon the face of another who belonged not to her blood. Yet such transference, such forgetfulness, such sad change had been, that he well knew, even in " the short and simple annals of the poor," which alone he had read ; and who would blame, who would pity, who would remember the case of the deserted, and forsaken poor Blind Man ? Fanny Raeburn had always been a dutiful child and she listened to the arguments of her parents with, a heavy but composed heart. She was willing to obey them in all things in which it was h£r �10 duty to obey—bul here she knew not what was her duty. To give up Allan Bruce was a thought far worse to her than to give up life. It was to suffer her heartstrings to he hourly torn up by the roots. If the two were willing to be married, why should any one else interfere ? If God had stricken Allan with blindness after their marriage, would any one have counselled her to leave hira ? Or pitied her because she had to live with her own blind husband ? Or would the fear of poverty have .benumbed her feelings ? Or rather would it not have given new alacrity to her hands, and new courage to her heart ? So she resolved, meekly and calmly, to tell Allan that she would be his wife, and that she believed that such was, in spite of this affliction, the will of God. Allan Bruce did not absent himself, in his blindness, from the House of God. One Sabbath, after divine service, Fanny went up to him in the church-yard, and putting her arm in his, they walked away together, seemingly as cheerful as the rest of the congregation, only with somewhat slower and more cautious steps. I hey proceeded along the quiet meadowfields by the banks of the stream, and then across the smooth green braes, till they gently descended into a holm, and sat down together in a little green bower, which a few hazels, mingling with one tall weeping birch, had of themselves framed, a place where they had often �11 met before Allan was blind, and where they had lirst spoken of wedded life. Fanny could have almost wept to see the earth, and the sky, and the whole day, so beautiful, now that Allan's eyes were dark but he whispered to her, that the smell of the budding trees, and of the primroses thai he knew were near his feet, was pleasant indeed, and that the singing of all the little birds made his heart dance within him—so Fanny sat beside her blind lover in serene happiness, and felt strengthened in her conviction that it was her duty to become his wife. " Allan—I love you so entirely—that to see you happy is all that I desire on earth. Till God made you blind—Allan—1 knew not how my soul could be knit unto yours—I knew not the love that was in my heart. To sit by you with my work—to lead you out thus on pleasant Sabbaths —to take care that your feet do not stumble— and that nothing shall ever offer violence to your face—to suffer no solitude to surround you—but that you may know, in your darkness, that mine eyes, which God still permits to see, are always upon you—for these ends, Allan, will I marry thee, my beloved—thou must not say nay—for God would not forgive me if I became not thy wife/' And Fanny fell upon his neck and wept. �oe There waft something in the quiet tone of her voice—something in the meek fold of her embrace —something in the long weeping kiss that she kept breathing tenderly over his brow and eyes—that justified to the Blind Man his marriage with such a woman. " Let us be married, Fanny, on the day fixed before I lost my sight. Till now I knew not fully either your heart or my own—now I fear nothing. Would—^my best friend—[ could but see thy sweet face for one single moment now— but that can never be !"—'" *11 things are possible to God—and although to human skill your case is hopeless—it is not utterly so to my heart—yet if ever it becomes so, Allan, then will I love thee better even than ! do now, if indeed ray heart can contain more affection than that with which it now overflows." ?—•• Allan Bruce and Fanny Raeburn were married. And although there was felt, by the most careless heart, to be something sad and solemn in such nuptials, yet Allan made his marriage-day one of sober cheerfulness in his native village. Fanny wore her white ribbands in the very way that used to be pleasant to Allan's eyes; and blind as he now was, these eyes kindled with a joyful smile, when he turned the clear sightless orbs towards his bride, and saw her within his soul arrayed in the simple white dress which he heard all about him saying so well became her sweet looks. Her relations �IS and his own partook of the marriage feast in their cottage—there was the sound of music and dancing feet on the little green plat at the foot of the garden, by the river's side—the bride's youngest sister, who was henceforth to be an inmate of the house, remained when the party went away in the quiet of the evening—and peace, contentment and love, folded their wings together over that humble dwelling. From that day Allan and his wife were perfectly happy—and they could not help wondering at their former fears. There was, at once, a general determination formed all over the parish to do them every benefit. Fanny, who had always been distinguished for her skill and fancy as a seamstress became now quite the fashionable dress-maker of the village, and had more employment offered than she could accept. So that her industry alone was more than sufficient for all their present wants. But Allan, though blind, was not idle. He immediately began to instruct himself in various departments of a blind man's work A loom was purchased ; and in a few weeks he was heard singing to the sound of his fly-shuttle as merry as the bullfinch in the cage that hung at the low window of his room. He was not long in finding out the way of platting rush-rugs and wicker-baskets—the figures of all of which were soon, as it were, visible through his very fingers; and before six months �14 were over, Allan Bruce and his wife were said to be getting rich, and a warm blessing broke from every heart upon them, and their virtuous and unrepining industry. jr.uod lidilo rm od ot iliioiiaa^d z&u off?/ Allan had always been fond of music, and his voice was the finest tenor in all the kirk. So he began in the evenings of winter to teach a school for sacred music—and thus every hour was turned to account. Allan repined not now—nay at times he felt as if his blindness were a blessing—for it forced him to trust to his own soul—to turn for comfort to the best and purest human affections— and to see God always. Whatever misgivings of mind Allan Bruce might have experienced—whatever faintings and sickenings and deadly swoons of dispair might have overcome his heart,—it was not long before he was a freedman from ail his slavery. He was not immured, like many as worthy as he, in an Asylum ; he was not an incumbrance upon a poor father, sitting idle and in the way of others, beside an ill-fed fire, and a scanty board ; he was not forced to pace step by step along the lamp^lighted streets and squares of a city, forcing out beautiful music to gain a few pieces of coin from passers by entranced for a moment by sweet sounds plaintive or jocund; he was not a boy- �15 led beggar along the high-way under the sickening sunshine or the chilling sleet, with an abject that abjectly protruded with a cold heart for colder charity;—but he was, although he humbly felt and acknowledged that he was in nothing more worthy than these, a man loaded with many blessings, warmed by a constant ingle, laughed round by a flock of joyful children, love-tended and love-lighted by a wife who was to him at once music and radiance,—while his house stood in the middle of a village of which all the inhabitants were his friends, and of all whose hands the knock was known when it touched his door, and of all whose voices the tone was felt when it kindly accosted him in the wood, in the field, in the garden, by the river's side, hospitable board of a neighbour, or in the Church-yard assemblage before entering into the House of God. Thus did years pass along. Children were born to them-r—lived—were healthy—and weilbehaved. A blessing rested upon them and all that belonged to them, and the name of " Blind Allan" carried with it far and near an authority that could belong only to virtue, piety, and faith tried by affliction and found to stand fast. fcsf > 'io tbnild gflbd 'io.rooio^.'i^^au eux 9(1 i&di bh<s Ten years ago, when they married, Allan Bruce and Fanny Raeburn were among the poorest of �16 the poor, and had it pleased God to send sickness among them, hard had been their lot. But now they lived in a better house—with a larger garden —and a few fields, with two cows of their own— Allan had workmen under him, a basket-maker now on a considerable scale—and his wife had her apprentices too, the best dress-maker in all the country round. They were rich. Their children were at school,—and all things, belonging both to outer and inner life, had prospered to their hearts' desire. Allan could walk about many familiar places unattended ; but that seldom happened, for whiie his children were at school he was engaged in his business ; and when they came home, there was always a loving contest among them who should be allowed to take hold of their father's hand when he went out on his evening walk. Well did he know the the tread of each loving creature's footstep—their very breath when their voices were silent. One touch of a head as it danced past him, or remained motionless by his side—one pressure of an arm upon his knee—one laugh from a corner was enough to tell him which of his children was there; and in the most confused noise and merriment, his ear would have known if one romping imp had been away. So perfectly accustomed had he long been to his situation, that it might almost be said that he was unconscious of being blind, or that he had foi gotten that his eyes once saw. Long had Allan Bruce indeed been the happiest of the blind. �17 It chanced at this time, that among a party who were visiting his straw manufactory, theie was a surgeon celebrated for his skill in operations upon the eye, who expressed an opinion that Allan's sight might be at least partially restored, and offered not only to perform the operation, but if Allan would reside for some weeks in Edinburgh, to see him every day, till it was known whether his case was or was not a hopeless one. Allan's circumstances were now such as to make a few weeks, or even months confinement of no importance to him; and thongh he said to his wife that he was averse to submit to an operation that mi^ht disturb the long formed quiet and contentment of his mind by hopes never to be realized, yet those hopes of once more seeing Heaven's dear light gradually removed all his repugnance. His eyes were couched, and when the bandages were removed and the soft broken light let in upon him, Allan Bruce was no longer among [he number of the blind. There was no uncontrollable burst of joy in the soul of ?.llan Bruce when once more a communication was opened between it and the visible world. For he had learned lessons of humility and temperance in all his emotions during ten years of blindness, in which the hope of light was too faint to deserve the name. He was almost afraid to believe his sight was restored, Grateful to him was its first uncertain and wavering glimmer, as a �18 draught of water to a wretch in a cr)wded dungeon. Bur he nevv not whether it was to ripen into the perfect day, or gradually to fade back again into the depth of his former darkness. But when his Fanny—she on whom he had so loved to look when she was a maiden in her teens, and who would not forsake him in the first misery of that great affliction, but had been overjoyed to link the sweet freedom of her prime to one sitting in perpetual dark—when she, now a staid and lovely matron, stood before him with a face pale in bliss, and all drenched in the floodlike tears of an .(insupportable happiness—then truly did he feel what a heaven it was to see 1 And as he took her to his heart, he gently bent back her head, that he might devour with his eyes that bening beauty which had for so many years smiled upon him unbeheld, and which now that he had seen once more, be felt that he could even at that very moment die in peace. •tv>i;iurcfflo3 js 9iwn t^no ; • ; • JIJIQ fl it! U) In came with soft steps, one after another, his five loving children, that for the first time they might be seen by their Father. The girls advanced timidly, with blushing cheeks and bright shining hair, while the boys went boldly up to his side, and the eldest looking in the face, exclaimed with a shout of joy, " O u r Father sees !-—our �19 M Father sees ! ;—and then checking his rapture, burst into tears. Many a vision had Allan Bruce framed to himself of the face and figure of one and all of his children. One, he had been told, was like himself-—another the ima^e of its mother— and Lucy, he understood, was a blended likeness of them both. But now he looked upon them with the confused and bewildered joy of parental love, seeking to know and distinguish in the light the seperate objects towards whom it yearned; and not till they spoke did he know their Christian names. But soon, soon, did the sweet faces of all his children seem, to his eyes, to answer well, each in its different Jovejiness, to the expression of the voices s > long familiar to his heart. < Pleasant, too, no doubt, was that expansion of heart, that followed the sight of so many old-friends and acquaintances, all of whom, familiar as he had long been with them in his darkness, one day's light now seemed to bring farther forward in his affection. They came towards him now with brighter satisfaction—and the happines of his own soul gave a kinder expression to their demeanour, and represented them all as a host of human beings rejoicing in the joy of one simple brother. Here was a young man, who, when he saw him last, was a little school-boy -—here a man beginning to be bent with toil, and with a thoughtful aspect, who had been own joyous and laughing fellow-labourers �20 in field or at fair—here a man on whom, ten years before, he had shut his eyes in advanced but vigorous life, now sitting, with a white head and supported on a staff—all this change he knew before, but now he saw it; and there was thus a somewhat sad. but an interesting, delightful, and impressive contrast and resemblance between the past and the present, brought immediately before him by the removal of a veil. Every face around him— every figure—was instructive as well as pleasant; and humble as his sphere of life was, and limited its range, quire enough of chance and change was now submitted to his meditation, to give his character, which had long been thoughtful, a still more solemn cast, and a temper of still more homely and humble wisdom. Nor did all the addition to his happiness come from human life. Once more he saw the heavens and the earth. By men in his lowly condition, nature is not looked on very often perhaps with poetical eyes. But all the objects of nature are in themselves necessarily agreeable and delightful: and the very colours and forms he now saw fiilled his soul with bliss. Not for ten dark years had he seen a cloud, and now they were piled up like castles in the summer heaven. Not for ten dark years had he seen the vaulted sky, and there it was now bending majestically in its dark, deep, serene azure, full of tendei ness, beauty, and power. The �21 green earth, with all its flowers, was now visible beneath his feet. A hundred gardens blossomed —a hundred hedge rows ran across the meadow and up the sides of the hills—the dark grove of sycamore, shading the village church on its mount, stood tinged with a glitter of yellow light—and from one extremity of the village to the other, calm, fair, and unwavering, the smoke from ail its chimneys went up to, heaven on the dewy morning air. He felt all this just by opening his eye-lids. And in his gratitude to God he blessed the thatch of his own humble house, and the swallows that were twittering beneath its eaves. Such, perhaps, were some of the feelings which Allan. Bruce experienced on being restored to sight. But faint and imperfect must be every picture of man's inner soul. This, however, is true that Allan Bruce now felt that his blindness had been to him, in many respects, a blessing. It had touched all hearts with kindness towards him and his wife when they were poor—it had kept his feet within the doors of his house, or within the gate of his garden, often whan they might otherwise have wandered into less happy and innocent places—it turned to him the sole undivided love of his sweet contented Fanny—it gave to the filial tenderness of liis children something of fondest passion—and it taught him moderation in all things, humility, reverence, and perfect resignation of the Divine �22 Will. It may, therefore, be truly said; that whe* the blameless man once more lifted up his seeing eyes, in all things he beheld God. Soon after this time, a small Nursery-garden between Iioslin and Lasswade,—a bank sloping down gently to the Esk—was on sale, and Allan Bruce was able to purchase it. Such an employment seemed peculiarly fitted for him, and also compatible with his other profession. He had acquired, during his blindness, much useful information from the readings of his wife or children ; and having been a gardener in his youth, among his many other avocations, he had especially extended his knowledge respecting flowers, shrubs, and trees. Here he follows that healthy, p easant, and intelligent occupation. Among his other assistant Gardeners there is one man with a head white as snow, but a ruddy and cheerful countenance, who, from his self-importancp, seems to be the proprietor of the garden. This is Allan's Father, who lives in a small cottage adjoining—takes care of all the gardening tools—and is master of the beehives. His old iVlother, too, is sometimes seen weeding; but oftener with her grandchildren, when in the evenings, after school, they are playing on the green plat by the Sun Dial, with flov*ers garlanded round their heads, or feeding the large trout in the clear silvery well near the roots of the celebrated Pear Tree. �«8 •vi« diiW .noitBfiaibni aid oj inov anivha ni ANECDOTE. -it ; ori ?Jn9m9Visq rooil y-:* ^ni>lii1« - t e d bate -X9 <*i»i 8G buoi ^HJtiblttflSNtfrB'J C9nw*ll1 21d 1)91^ bs^rrfirino L*uo*w asnul b9i8u.f»«! f O * jicrmq Sowr Wholesale. \, I ni sd J> -rfj ni -; 'o - k! 9fl) 'iivl 1H Sometime ago, the frolics of the Honourable Mr made a great noise in the newspapers. The following records one of the most whimsical acts of folly :— One morning, after having danced all night at an assembly, he sauntered out, with the Maiquis of leaning on his arm ; and in crossing St. Andrew's Square, found at old rustic standing before the door of Dumbreck's Hotel, with his cart full of butter-milk barrels. He quickly concerted with the Marquis a scheme of fun, whereby the milk of the old man found a very different destiny to what its owner intended. I'hey first jumped up in front of the cart, seized the halter, and galloped off, leaving the poor man, to follow as best he could—then took out all the spiggots, and in s;rand style drove along George-street, past the Assembly Rooms, to the astonishment of the fashionables whom they had lately left; then down Frederickstreet, along Prince's-street, and back again to St. Andrew's-Square, ail the time followed by the old milk-man, who, in the agony of his heart, at seeing his valuable property deluging the causeway, exhausted his whole vocabulary of exclamations, �24 in giving vent to his indignation. With his skyblue top coat flying behind him, and his rough shod heels striking fire from the pavement, he pursued his ravished cart, shouting as loud as his exhausted lungs would permit, 1 O, ye unhanged blackguards !— ye villains !—-ye deil's buckies !— I'll ha'e the law o' ye, gin there be law in Embrugh, ye vagabonds!—I'll get ye a better house than your father ever biggit, for ye, ye rascals!—I'll get ye clapped up as sure as ye're Jeevin', ye rampaging Emburgh hallanshakers f As soon as he arrived at the Hotel, the Marquis delivered the reins into his hand ; but blue-bonnet vowed he would not quit him, till he had ascertained his name, and that of his companion. Mr — put his hand into his pocket, and drew out a piece of paper, which he said contained the required addresses ; and while the old man unfolded it, our young heroes took the opportunity to escape. The bit of paper turned out to be a ten pound note, ' Ah, *<top, my bonny lads/cries the appeased milk-man * I've something to say t ye—Will ye need ony mair milk the morn ?'

An uplifting tale of the power of love in conquering the trials of life. Allen, a young man slowly becomes blind. The blindness causes him to despair, most especially because he feels he must now break off his betrothal to his childhood sweetheart, Fanny. Going against the advice of all family and neighbours, Fanny declares her love and they go ahead and get married anyway. Together, their love, patience, and industriousness actually lead them to increase their fortunes rather than lose it due to Allan’s blindness. They have a happy home, family, and good fortune for many years. Eventually Allan’s sight is restored by an operation, and the family continues to thrive due to the particular virtues cultivated during Allan’s blindness. A short humorous anecdote on the pranks of a couple of local lords in Edinburgh follows. Alternative Title An alternative name for the resource.
