* While teaching a school, a Scotchman, travelling by, and desirous to make ac- quaintance with his countrymen, wherever he could find them, called, and was invited by master Smith to take a seat by his side. A class was called out in line, fronting the master and his friend, to read and spell. It somewhat excited his sur- prise, to see all of them clad in leather aprons. When the class was through, and had taken their seats, he inquired of master Smith, with much earnestness, and a very broad brogue, " My good sir, are all those lods the sons o' blocksmiths ?"
This excited the mirth of the lads, as much as their leather aprons had his wonder. He was told it was customary for all lads to wear leather aprons. A class of older lads was next called out, and when he saw they had on not only leather aprons, but leather breeches too, he took leave without uttering a word !
