Though the' Highlands - of Scotland -now
present a shadow of the peculiar. systeni of
society which 'once prevailed in 'them
though there are no longer, clansmen ready
to follow their chief io the field, at his slight
est bidding, or 'intestine feuds Wreaking
tlierriselves out - in -'bloodshed once - at-least
-in every generation—yet:there are still'
many things to, diStinguish its people frbm .
all neighboring

story, for instance; whiciris-no-more than
fact, will show in how different a way a
pair of poor peasants may follow out'a love
Lattachment in the tipper part of Perthshire;
from any Mode known_ or practised in the
more Sontherlyparts Of the British isle. --

eye to such a consummation.. Whether or,
not, however, it , was likely
,that Strath

flower it-had given.iiirth . to, .will-be partly
seen „from the
. followiog scene, in which,
Jeanie bore a part.- . .
One evening in November, a' yqung
shepherd, by name Evan Cameron, belong- .

left his little shieling on the hills . ; Where-he
,resided Vi lijl is:wq4 Lo rn other,
and took his. way to the steading at which

for two years in his present place, whither '
'he had come.from the banks of Loch Ran

expression, on the night in question, ere
Evan' -reached-the - farm-house;.: - and'wlien
he did reach it, he di.d'iot enter, but took
up his station at-a retired -angle; of the pre 7
mises, from - which he could see' the door
that led from the dwelling-house to the out
louses—A•stranger to the rural manners'
of Scotland. if he had had-seen the ynung
shepherd,in. this position, would have
thought - hie - 1 a house-breaker or thief, but
the better informed 'on-the point would havei
known at Once that -he only came to see
hiS `sweet-heart." And 'Evan . did, not
stand long ere he did see her. The door
in the dwelling-house opened, and - Jeanie

.into -the house
where they
.were; of Jeanie's - uncle- from
Strath-TummA.. However, 7after he had
declared the . purpose of his,:visit,' the.-
ers felt. nothing but an increase of joy.
The Miele said, that when - Jeanie was mis

'convinced she had fled With Evan Oanteron,

..Evan was delighted with this intelligence:
:Soon-after• he had delivered

announced his intention to return, saying
that — he - Wished - to. - he -- home early. 7 ``ie -
Jeanie and Evan had any message - to send

neither shrieked nor spoke, but, as her un
cle held ber by the arm, looked on lover
with a face of pale despair.. It was some
time before Evan could recover from his
;surprise, So far as to see clearly . what had
happened. — But the taunts of the captors.
lartmed him. Yetlie did not stir from the
spot, he'saw them moving away with'
their prize. For. a Moment. he thought of
struggling to the death to retain her, in spite
of them all.' Butthe hopelessness of.stieli
I an attempt was too apparent. A better idea
IStruck-him; -and no sooner hadlthe-Strath--
Tummel men turned a corder of the, road
close -by the scene of this ambuscade, than
Evan put this scheme in practicel: Pulling
his blue bonnet over his . brovir, lie - bounded:
with the. speed. of a roebuCk back to Kieft : o 7

They did not' all remain together, for, it
