Better ? — what ? —Can't do without him ?" " O no, sir, " said Wat, who was beginning a long explanatory speech, but my landlord cut him short by introducing a right reverend divine, more than half-seas over. He was a neat, well-powdered, cheerful little gentleman, but one who never asked any farther warrant for the marrying of a couple than the full consent of parties. About this he was very particular, and advised them, in strong set phrases, to beware of entering rashly into that state ordai...ned for the happiness of mankind. Wat thought he was advising him against the match, but told him he was very particularly situated. Parties soon came to a right understanding, the match was made, the minister had his fee, and afterwards he and the landlord invited themselves to the honour and very particular pleasure of dining with the young couple at two. What has become of Jock the Jewel and his partner ;ill this while? We left them stabled in a mossy moor, surrounded with haggs, and bogs, and mires, every one of which would have taken a horse over the back ; at least so Jock's great strong plough-horse supposed, for he became so terrified that he abso- lutely refused to take one of them.
