It was no uncommon thing to see one of the company obliged to coin something for the occasion when otherwise unprepared. On one occasion the bard's grandson happened to find himself in the oak chair, and was called upon to start the night's entertainment. Being in his own house he was not quite prepared for the unanimous and imperative demand made upon him to carry out the usual rule, or leave the room. After some hesitation, and a little private humming in an undertone, he commenced, however, a rhythmical description of his grandfather's house, which is so faithful that, we think, we cannot do better than give it here, although chronologically it should be given further on. The picture was complete, and brought down the plaudits of the house upon the "young bard" as he was henceforth designated. TIGH MO SHEANAIR. An cuala sibh riamh mu'n tigh aig I----r 'S ann air tha'n deanamh tha ciallach ceart 'S iomadh bliadhua o'n chaidh a dheanamh Ach 's mor as fhiach e ged tha e sean Se duine ciallach chuir ceanna-crioch air 'S gur mor am pianadh a fhuair a phears Le clachan mora ga'n cuir an ordugh, 'S _Sament_ da choinntich ga'n cumail ceart. Tha dorus mor air ma choinneamh 'n-otraich 'Us cloidhean oir air ga chumail glaist Tha uinneag chinn air ma choinneamh 'n teintean 'Us _screen_ side oirre 'dh-fhodar glas; Tha'n ceann a bhan deth o bheul an fhalais A deanamh baithach air son a chruidh 'S gur cubhraidh am faladh a thig gu laidir O leid, na batha 'sa ghamhuinn duibh. Tha catha 's culaist ga dheanamh dubailt 'S gur mor an urnais tha anns an tigh Tha seidhir-ghairdean da dharach laidir 'Us siaman bàn air ga chumail ceart, Tha lota lair ann, da ghrèbhail cathair 'S cha chaith 's cha chnamh e gu brath n' am feasd Tha carpad mor air da luath na moine 'S _upstairs_ ceo ann le cion na _vent_. Tha sparan suithe o thaobh gu taobh ann 'Us ceangail luibte gan cumail ceart Tha tuthain chaltuinn o cheann gu ceann deth 'Us maide slabhraidh 's gur mor a neart, Tha lathais laidir o bheul an fhail air, Gu ruig am falas sgur mor am fad, Tha ropan siamain 'us pailteas lion air 'S mar eil e dionach cha 'n eil mi ceart.
