Scotch Musio Lesson by a Clever Highland Master. A highland piper who had a pupil to teach originated a method by which, says a writer in Blackwood's Maga zine, he succeeded in reducing the dif ficulties of tho task to a minimum nnd at the same time fixed bis lesson in the pupil's mind. "Here, Donald," said he, "tak yor pipes, lnd, an' gie us a blast. "So! Verra weel tlawn indeed, but what's a sound, Donald, wi'out sense? You may blaw forever wi'out making n tune o't if 1 dannn tell ye how the queer things on the paper mnun help yc. "Ye seo thnt big fellow wl' n round open face" polntiug to n Beralbreve "between two lines of a bnr? He moves slowly from that lino to this, while yo beat nne wl' your fist an' gle u long blast. "If yo put a leg to hlra ye male' twa o' him, nn' he'll move twice ntt fast. "If, now, ye black his face he'll run four times faster than the fellow wl' the white face, nnd If. after blacking his faco, ye'll bond bis knee or tie his leg he'll hop eight times faster thiin (lie while faced chap I showed ye first. "Now." concluded the piper m.-nlen tlously, "whene'er ye blaw your pipes, Donald, remember this that the lighter those fellows' legs are tied the faster they'll run and tho quicker they're sure to dance." Railway Journeys of Long Ago. It was only the adventurous who dared to face n railway Journey in 18211. A writer In the Quarterly He view commenting on tbe proposed line to Woolwich, remarked, "We would ns soon expect the people of Woolwich to suffer themselves to be llred off upon one of Cougreve's rockets ns trust themselves to the mercy of such a machine going ut muh n rate." The third class enrrlnge of those dny was a thing of horror. "It hud no roof and no seats," writes .1. (!. Wright. "Into this the passengers were pm koil and had to stand during I he whole Journey or, If there w as room, to squat on the door, exposed to the rain or sun nnd bouibnrded by sparks emitted from the cnglno. Second class passen gers were kindly advised to provide themselves with gauze spectacles uud to sit as far from the engine as possi ble." London Spectator. A Monument to Cheerfulness. Tho following quaint epitaph Is to be seen In Cray ford churchyard, Kent. It strikes ono as one of the prettiest monuments to cheerfulness In all Mer rle Knglnnd: "Here lleth the body of Peter Isnel (thirty years clerk of thli pariah). He lived respected as a plonk and n mirthful uinn nnd died on his way to church to assist at n wedding on the Slst day of March, 1S11, aged seventy years.
