De,\A ClIRISTOI'IIKR, I enclose vou a very curious letter from a eou>i:i genuam of my own to his son, xuio still remains in this cvuiifry. It has given me so much a:.;n<emcut flt::t I thmu'hf it might bo acceptable to you for publication in the Magazine. If you think proper to give it a aonrer, do not alter the orthography, or the writcj'ssiu* gulflf mode of grcitrraar. in any other wny than by pointing it. What he says with regard to the riches and freedom of America must he taken \\'\i\\ reserve, it being well known here that he is dissatis- fied, but that he wauls the son, to whom he is wiling, and others of his family, to join uim. This indeed is apparent from the tenor of the letter. The uliter was a high:/ respected shepherd of rhis country, and as suc¬ cessful as moct men in the same degree of life ; but for a number of years by¬ gone he talked and n-^d about America till he prow perfectly unhappy ; and, at last, when approaching his Sixtieth yeas', actually set offto seek a temporary home find a grave in the new world ; but some of his sons had formed attachments at home, and refused to accompany him. He was always a singular and highly amusing character, cherishing every an¬ tiquated and exploded idea in science. religion, and politics. lie never v.as at any school, and what scraps of educa¬ tion he had attained had all b.°cn picked up by himself. Isothing excited his in- oignation more lh««fi S-ie iheorv of the earth w|ie£liii£ round on it-; ax hi, ami journeying jvund the sun : he hid many Strong logical arguments against it, a;. J bailed then r.ll ftifh sciipture. SWunt ke first began to hear tell of I/« rtli Ame- I.clio.u rfto tiiat Fife was not it ; and! that he saw it from the Castle Hill of Kdinburgh ; I remember, and always u'ill,a night that I had with him about seventeen yeais ago-—Ho and one Wal¬ ter Bryden, better known by the appel¬ lation of Cow Wat, Thomas Hog*?, the celebrated flying Ettiick tailor, and my. xHf, were all drinking in a little change- house one evening. After the whiskey had fnirly begun U> operate, Laidlaw and Cow Wat went to loggerheads about Hell, aboul which their tenets of belief totally differed. The dispute was cavil¬ ed on with such acrimony on both sides, that Wat had several times heaved his ■ great cudgi I, and threatened to knock his opponent down. I.aidlav., perceiv¬ ing that the tailor and I were convulsed with laughter, joined us for some time with all his heart ; but all at once he be¬ gan (o look grave, and the tear stood hi his rye. t; Aye, ye may laugh P" said he, i% great fjomerals ! It's weel kend that yeJre just tuae that In ugh at every thing that's good. Ye hae mair need fo |)r<iy for the poor auld heretick than laugh at him, when ye see that heN on the braid way that leads to destruction. Pn* really sorry for tllfe poor anld scoun¬ drel after a', aud troth f think we sude join an' prny for him. For my part I sal lend my mite." With that he laid off his old douched hat, and kneeled down on the floor, leaning forward on a chair, where hepiayed a long prayer for Cow Wat, as he familiarly called him, when reprefenting his forlorn cafe to his Maker. I do not know what I would gN-e now to have a copy of that prayer, for 1 never heard any thing like it. It wasfo cutting, that bcfoie the end Wat rofe up foan-Jng with rage, heaved his ftick, and cr:<.d, r* I tell ye, gie owtr, Jjrnie Laidlaw, I winna be prayed for in that pate." If there were different places and degrees of punffhmtnt, he fald, &s the auld hoary reprobate maintained—that was to fay, three or four hells, then he prayed that poor Cow Wat might be pre¬ ferred to the caficft ?-ne. "We coudha cxpeft nac better a place," he faid, u for fie a man, and indeed we would be afharr.ed to aflc it. But, on the ither ru-nd," continued he, " if it be true that the oojeCt oi our petition cheated James Cun¬ ningham an' Sandy o* Bowerhoue, out o' from two to three bunder pounds of lamb- filler, why, we can hardly <:fk fie a fitna- tion for him ; an' if ic be fa'thertrue, that he left his ain wife, Nanny Stothart, and took up wi* another, (whom he named name and fur-name,) rea!Iy we have hard¬ ly the face to aflc any mitigation for him atal." The tailor and I, and another one, I have forgot who it was, but I think it was probably A die 6* Aberlol!:, were obliged to hold Wat by main force upon hw chair till the prayer was fmifhed.
