You, gentlemen in arrears (not one lady in ar¬
rears), please send the amount of your indebted¬
ness with a notification to cease sending the paper
if you do not appreciate it. This would be manly
and honest (leaving patriotism aside), and we refer

SCOTCH GAELIC.
As some of our readers may not have seen Scotch
Gaelic we hereunder give a specimen from Baxter
in his Preface to Allen's Admonitions, — Glasgow,
1782 — 109 years ago.
Tha fios agam, a pheacaich thruaigh, nach gabh
t an mianna suim do na nithe so; ach tha fios ag¬
am gu d' thug Dia dhuit tuigs' agus reusan, (is tha
e tairgse grais dhuit) gu t an-mianna chur fu'
chois; is mur bi thu 'n toiseach ad dhuine, cha bi
thu gu brath ad naomh. Tha fios agam cuideachd
gu bheil an saoghal mu 'n cuairt duit aingidh, is
gu bheil ionus gach ni agus neach a th' ann, ull¬
amh gu d’ bhaca' agus gu d' bhuaireadh. Ach tha
fios agam nach cuir so airsan tha faicinn le beo-
chreidhe' neamh agus ifrinn air thoiseach air, ni's
mo na chuireas fras no osag gaoithe air duine
bhiodh a' teicheadh arson anama, Luc. xii. 4. O
dhuine, smaoinich cia mor an dealacha eidir na
bheil agad ri chall is na bheil agad ri bhuidhinn;
eidir na bheir an t aibhisteir dhuit is na bheir Dia
dhuit; is cho'n fheud e bhith nach gab thu suim
an' sin do t anam.
Mr. P. A. Dougher has composed a comic song.

great credit on his poetic genius. We shall find
room for it in a future issue; also, a Gaelic poem
complimentary to O'Donovan Rossa
