All at once he touched their tombs with a divin ing rod, and the turf streamed out ghosts, some in woodmen's dresses, most in warrior's mail; queer archers leaped forth, with yew bows and quivers, and giants stalked, shaking spears! The gray chronicler smiled, and, taking up his pen, wrote in lines of light the annals of the chivalrous and heroic days of auld feudal Scotland. The nation then, for the first time, knew the character of its ancestors; for these were not spectres - not they, indeed nor phantoms of the brain, but gaunt esh and blood, or glad and glorious;-base-born cottage churls of the olden times, because Scottish, became familiar to the love of the nation's heart, and so to its pride did the high-born lineage of palace kings. We know now the character of our own people as it showed itself in war and peace - in palace, castle, hall, hut, hovel and shieling - through cen turies of advancing civilization, from the time when Edinburgh was ycleped Auld Reekie down to the period when the bright idea first occurred to her inhabitants to call her the Modern Athens. - Prof. John Wilson: Recreations of Christopher North.
