Ye've heard hoo the de'il, as he wauchel'd through Beith When some ane cried out, "Will ye tak' mine the morn?" That usefu' word "Imph-m;" Wi' sic a big mouthfu', he couldna say, A-y-e! When I was a laddie langsyne at the schule, I wasna ower proud, but ower dour to say, A—y—e! Ae day a queer word, as lang-nebbit's himsel', That auld Scotch word 'Imph-m,' ye ken it means- Had ye seen hoo he glower'd, hoo he scratch'd his big pate, An' shouted, "Ye villain, get oot o' my gate! Get aff tae yer seat! ye're the plague o' the schule ! That common word "Imph-m,” That auld-farran' "Imph-m," that stan's for anA-y-e! ing, we believe) called Priesthill, in the parish of Muirkirk. It occupied an eminence commanding a wide and waste view of heath, mosses, and rocks. John Brown was an amiable and blameless man. He had taken no part in the risings or public testifyings of the times. His only crimes were, his non-attendance on the curate of the parish, and his occasionally retiring, with some likeminded, to a favourite ravine among the moors, where they spent the Sabbath-day in praise and prayer. His wife was a noble spirit: blythe, leal-hearted, humorous even. He, on the other hand, was gravely mild and sedate, and her smile shone on him like sunshine on a dun hill-side, and transfigured him into gladness. His family was one of peace, although Isabel Weir was his second wife, and there were children of the first alive. All were wont to pour out, like blood from one heart, to meet him, when he was seen approaching on his packhorse from his distant excursions. Latterly, as the persecution fell darker, and closed in around those Ayrshire wolds, John could no longer ply his trade; nay, was even compelled occasionally to leave his home, and spend days and nights in the remoter solitudes of the country. Nevertheless, his hour at last arrived. It was the 30th of April 1685. John Brown had been at home, and unmolested for some time: he had risen early, and had performed public worship. The psalm sung was the twentyseventh; and the chapter read the sixteenth of John, which closes with the remarkable words, "In the world ye shal have tribulation: but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." His prayer was, as usual, powerful and fervent; for, although he stuttered in common speech, he never stuttered in prayer: he could not but speak fluently in the dialect of heaven! He then went away alone to the hill to prepare some peat-ground. Meanwhile Claverhouse had come in late at night to Lesmahagow, where a garrison was posted; had heard of John; had risen still earlier than his victim; and by six on that grey April morning had tracked him to the moss; had surrounded him with three troops of dragoons, and |
