SCOTCH ECONOMICS.
Mr. Young, who is a well-known Scottish agent, told a story of an Aberdonian who observed a brass plate on a house, which stated that a certain professor of economics gave lectures. The subject seemed very near his heart, so he went and asked for one. The professor bade the visitor be seated and turned out the lights, which prompted the Aberdonian to inquire the i-eason. “ There is no need to have lights while we are talking,” replied the professor, and proceeded with his lecture. Presently, hearing a rustling sound, he inquired of the Aberdonian what was the matter. “ I am only taking off ma breeks,” was the reply; “ there’s no need to wear them out in the dark.”
