' What , Scot over called the pipes a musical instrument? asks Harper's Weekly. la the old wjfeked days bands of predatory English marched over the border. They were as bold and sturdy as the Scots and far greater in num ber. CI Tiny MacWbauppert, the laird of Glengarramoyle, in desperate need of a sure- defense invented the pipes in secret and never let a skirl out of them till he faced the invading Sas senach on the ...bloody field. Then Cluny blew a. melody so fierce, so eldritch, so grinding and blistering to the soul, that every clansman .ripped and slashed his way through the Eng lish hordes, intent on only one thing to escape the fiendish screeching of the pipes. And that is why every grateful Scot to this day cherishes the bagpipe, the preserver of Scottish in dependence. He has beaten his sword Into a plowshare, but he will always uphold the pipes to beat the band.

London, for the same purpose, but arranged that it should not be burled afterward, but kept there. You may see the skeleton there to this day wearing its clothes as in life, the face all dried up. Ben tham even went so far as to advocate the embalmment and preservation of Illustrious human beings in this way as being more truthful than statues. - . Brides and White. In olden days a bride of the poorer classes went to her wedding in white, as a warning to the public that since she brought nothing to the . marriage her husband was not responsible for her debts.

Blue was for constancy a4 green for youth, xeilow was never worn, as it stood for jealousy. Longfellow's Joke.
