as Quin, the famous epicure had siid, that he would go down to Land's End to eat a John-Dory fresh out of the water, so did I determine to set off for the Moors, that I miht see the game which they produce, drecscd in the highest perfection. " Put up half dozen changes cat linen, (s-iid I to my servants,) six waiscoats, same number ot stockings and cravats, 2 pair of boots S: 2 pair of shoes, 1 strong fcthcothcr half dress, with one coat, as I shall travel in mv great coat and shooting jacket." Tims equipped, I put my dogs in under my gig, took, my servant and gum by the side of me, and set off. I will say nothing ot mv tour until I came to Perth. There I was delighted with it localities, with the urbanity ot its inhabitants, and with the easy, unembarrassed, unceremonious hospbdity of its vicinity. I then started for the Moors in right earnest, loaded with all sortof porting tackle. I remarked, at the very worst road side inr.s, built by government tor the accommodation of tiavcllers, a degree of .unobtrusive civiihv and attention, ot kindness and anxiety to please, highly contracted to the officious impertiner.ee of our Lendon landlords and waiters the former t u 1 of consequence, the latter apiu,; the iti.;,er puppies on w!iom they wait.

The aged highlandcr was indignant u this: "fie, Ik!" cried he,

"Lad, tak it i your mou; it will be soon enough down at your heels, without wasting and abusing the liquor sae." I was going to comply with his advice, but the liquid nearly choked me. It had all the smell of a turf cabin under conflagration; and was as hot as the llame. He laughed immoderately at seeing me spit it out: and taking two bumpers, in order to encourage me, e.nd to prove that it was not poison, and tapping me good naturcdly on the shoulder, he informed me that it was mother's milk to him; that he always took a bumper fasting, and that a bottle o't would nac frighten him any day. I asked his age about eighty. Had he always lived so? ".Much about." I now found that lie was the grandfather; and that he often used to dance all the night, with four and twenty children and grand chikiren. Wc soon rot ouitc familiar eond intimate.
