Mr Carlylo's aeverasfc critic, and a critic of his own school, says the St. James's Gazette* was the old parish roadman at EcclefechaD. " Been a long time in the neighborhood ?" asked an Americantraveller on the outlook for a sight of the sage. "Baen here a' me days, sir." "Then you'il know the Carlyle?" " Weel that 1 A ken the whole o' them. There was, let me see," lie said, leaning on his shovel and pondering, "there was Jock, a kind o' thoroughither sort o chap, a doctor, but not a bad fellow, Jock—he's deid mon." <l And th«re was Thomas," said the enquirer eagerly* "Oh, ay, of coorse there's Tain, a useless munestauck chap, that writes books and talks havers. Tam stays maistly in London. There's naething in Tam ; but, mon, there's Jamie »wer in the Newlands—there's a chap for ye ; he's the mon ,o' the family. Jamie takes mair swine into Ecclefechan market than ony ither farmer in the parish."
