A Southerner and Scotland
A Southerner with no love for Scotland returned from his first trip to the North, and was asked by a Scot if he had not acquired a better opinion of Scotland. What did he now think of it? “That it is a very vile country to be sure,” answered the traveller. “Well, sir!” retorted the nettled Scot, “God made it!” “Certainly he did!” came the instant acknowledgment; “but we must always remember that He made it for Scotsmen.”
