Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Lieutenant and His Son, Vol. 2 Ten years have altered the old burgh in many te spects. The school has been emptied of all its old scholars, and Ned's name has perished from the play ground, its only memorial being the initials on the big tree, with their once fresh lines, now swollen and deformed with the ten years' growth of the bark. Some of the old scholars have gone to their graves, and some to the ends of the earth. The old school master, Mr. Mair, has also passed away, and the cross-coat is seen no more, though there is a tradition that it remained for several years after his death, as a scarecrow and terror to young birds in his suc cessor's garden.
