How I Won the Laird’s Daughter. BY DANIEL GORRIE.
CuapTeER I.—Continued.
From many of the people upon whom we called I received kind invitations to spend the night in their houses, and | could have slept in a dozen different beds if [ had feit so inclined ; but I pre. ferred returning to the Cross-Keys, that, like the apostle, | might be burdensome tonone. It is a pieee of worldly pru- dence to give as little trouble az possible ie strangers; aud medical practitioners, of all men in the world, require to be wary in their ways, and circumspect in their actions.
“You've got on grandly the nicht, Dr. Wilson,” he said, dropping the ‘sir’ wheo he considered me almost installed in office. “Ye'’ve carried everything afore ye—I never saw the likeo'’t. Ye hae got the promise o' practice fiae the hale lot o’ them—that’s to say when they need the attendence o’ a medical man}, and, ’od, doctor, but the womenkind are aften complainia’.”’
“Well, Mr. Barlas,’ i said (such was the landlord’s name), “I huve experienced much kiodness and civilily, and in the course of a few hours I have far out- stripped my expectations. If I only suc- ceed as well with the ladies and gentle- men in the neighborhood, | will not hesi- tate for a single moment in settling down in the midst of you.”
“There’s nae danger o° that, doctor, what's sauce or senna for the yoose, is ssuce or senna for the gander. [ve seen aften eneuch that the grit folk are no sae ill to please as the smx’. If you get ower the Laird,—an’ { think ye've as gude chance as ony ither body,—-ye
——
‘needna fear muckle for the rest.’’
‘‘Aod who is the Laird, Mr. Barlus 7” I asked.
“Oh, just the Laird, ye ken—Laird Ramsay o’ the Haugh; ye’ll surely hae heard o’ him afore you cam south ?”’
“Ramsay,” [ said; ‘“‘Ramsay—oh, yes, —lI have a letter of introduction to a gentleman of that name from a professor in Edinburgh. Does he rule the roast in this neighborhood ?”’
“Vil tell you aboot him i’ the noo; but wait a wee, doctor, till I bring ye some- thing warm.”
[ did not disapprove of the medicine proposed by the host of the Cross-Keys of St. Dunstan, as I was anxious to know as much as possible about the place and people; and the influence of hot punch in making even sileat persons communicative is quite proverbial. Mr. Barlas, after a a brief absence, returned to the snug lit- tle parlor, bearing his owa private blue bottle, capable, I should think, of holding a good half gallon of Islay or Glenlivet; and we were soon sitting comfortably with steaming tumblers before us, beside a blazing fire.
“This is something social like, noo, doctor,’’ said the composed and consider- ate landlord. ‘Ye were wantin’ to hear aboot the Laird. Weel, I’ll tell ye what sort o’ a being he is, that ye may be on your guard when ye gang to the Haugh the morn: Laird Ramsay has mair gear, doctor, than ony half dozen o’ his neigh- bers for many miles roond, and he’s a oar character wi'd a’. He's unco anld ashioned fora man in his station, an’ speaks muckle sic like as you hear me speukin’ i’ the noo. He gets the name o’ haudin’ a gude grip o' his siller; but I've nae reason to compleen,as he spends freely eneuch when he comes to the Cross-Keys, no forgettin’ the servant-lass and the ostler; an’ I ken fora fac’ that he slips a canny shillin’ noo and again into the loofa of the puirjfolk of St. Dunstan. He’s unco douce and proud,—ye might maist say saucy,—until ye get the richt side o’ him, an’ then he’s the best o’ freends , an’ nane better than the Laird at » twa-handed crack.”
‘“‘Aad how do you get to the right side of him, Mr. Barias ?’”’ I interjected.
“That’t the very thing I was gaun to tell ye, doctor. Lay on the butter weel. Butter him on baith sides, and then ye can eusy get tothe richt side. Praise his land, his craps, his nowte, his house, his garden, his Gleslivet, his everything ; but t:k cire what ye say o’ his dochter 9 bis face.
“ The Laird has got a daughter, then, it seems ?”
‘Ay, that be has, an’ a comely quean

became more and more loquacious, I seized the first favorable opportunity to propose an adjournment, and recciving the reluctant assent of mine host, [ re- tired to rest, and slept soundly in spite of all the crowing cocks of St. Dunstan.

The Greatest Medical Dissovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.
There never has been a time wheu the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been eaused by ontward application as the present.
It is an undisputed fact that over hal? of the entire population of the globe resort to the nse of ordinary plasters.
Dr. MELVIN’S Capsicum Ponovs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applied the patient will fee] its effect.
Physicians in a)] ages have thoroughly testod and well know the effect of Capsicwn; and it has always been more or les# used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in @ porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful enres effected by Dk. MELVIN’S CAPSICUi * Porous PLAsTens, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe thei, in their practice, for such diseases as rheutnatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters or liniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and
ou wantacertain cure, ask your druggist for Dr. MeELvin’s Capsicum Porous PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects, Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee
to your friends.
Ask your druggist for Dx, MELVIN’s CAPsI- CUM POROUS PLASTER, and take no other; or, en receipt of 25 centa for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they willbe mailed, post paid, to

W. R. WATSON, Acent December 7, 1877 Ayer’s Cathartic Pills, For all the purposes of a ig 4 Physic, and for curing Costiveness. Jaundice, Indigestion, Foul Stomach, Breath, Headache, Erysipelas, Rheumatism, Eruptions and Skin Diseases, Bil- iousness, Dropsy, Tumors, Worms,
Neuralgia, as a Dinner Pill, for Purifying tho Blood,
Are the most ef- fective and conge- nial purgative ever ‘discovered. They are mild, but ef- - feetual in their .° operation, moving the bowels surely and without pain. " Although gentle = in their operation, - they are still the Fe; most thorough and : searching cathar- tic medicine that can be employed: cleans- ing the stomach and bowels, and even the blood. In smal! doses of one pill a day, they stimulate the digestive organs and promote vigorous health.
Ayer’s Pitts have been known for more than a quarter of a century, and have obtained a world-wide reputation for their virtues. ‘They correct diseased action in the several assimilative organs of the body, and are so composed that obstruc- tions within their range can rarely with- stand or evade them. Not only do they cure the every-day complaints of every- body, but also formidable and dangerous diseasesthat have baffled the best of human skill. While they produce power- ful effects, they are, at the same time, the safest and best physic for children. By their aperient action they gripe much less than the common purgatives, and never
ive pain when the bowels are not inflamed. They reach the vital fountains of the blood, and strengthen the system by freeing _it from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in all climates, containing neither calomel nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may be taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh, and makes them pleasant to take; while being purely vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in any quantity.

In answer to my inquiries the land- lord informed me that Miss Jessie Ram- say was the Laird’s only daughter, and that her mother had been dead for several years. His information and anecdotes regarding the eccentric character of the
old-fashioned proprietor of the Haugh |
excited my curiosity so much that I re. solved to pay him an early visit on the following day. After sitting for an hour or two, during which time Mr. Barlas
