D., DC. L. The Hxnatp of February 14, 1864, discredited a rumor, which aftermurds proved untrue, that Dr. Livingstone had been murdered by the natives on Lake Nyassa But there is, we fear, no reason to doubt the tragic news from the, Cape of Good Hope, received by a London telegrem of the 6th instant, announcing that this Ta move African explorer and missionary has been Filled by the Kaffirs. ‘David Livingstoms was born at Blantyre Weeks, not ‘far from Glasgow, in 1815, Im the charming auwobi- ographical intredaction ‘te his “Journeys and Researches in South Africa,” ‘he'gives a brief account of his an- cestry and of ‘his early-days, apologizing with a charac- teristic modesty whieb pervades all his wrtings for the apparent egotism Of'@his part of his work. He begins with the remark:—*My own inglination would lead me to say aa'Iittle as peusible about myself.’ We extract a Portion of the account as an interesting picture of life among the Scottie: poor:— Oar grost father fell at the battle of Culloden, fighting for the od line of kings; and our grandfather was a small farnter in Ulva, where my father was bora.

Oar grandmother, too, used to sing Guatic fonge, somo of which, as she believed, had deen composed by captive islanders languishing hopelessly among the Turks, Grandfather could give particulars of the livesof his ‘ancestors for six generations of the family before hin; and the only poiot of the tradition 1 fecl proud of is this:—Gno of theso poor hardy islanders was renowned im the district for great wisdom and prudence, and it is related that, when he was on his deathbed he called all hie-children sround him and said, “Now, in my hfetime I have searched most carefully through all the traditions Foould find of our family, and I never could discover that there was a dishovest man among our forefathers, If, therefore, any of you or any of your children should take to dishonest ways it wil! not be because it runs in our blood; it does not belong to you. I leave this pre- cept with you:—Be honest.” If, therefore, in the fol- lowing pages I fall into any errors I hope they will be dealt with as honest mistakes, and not as indicating that I have forgotten our ancient motto. Tnis event took place at a time when the Highlanders, according to Ma- caulay, were much like the Cape Caffres, and any one, it was suid, could escape punishment for cattle stealing by presenting a share of the plunder to his chieftain. Our ancestors were Roman Catholics; they were made Protestants by the laird coming round with @ man having ayellow staff, which would seem to have attracted more. attention than his teaching, for the new religion went long afterward, porliaps it does so stil!, by the name of “the religion of the yellow stick.” Finding his farm in Ulva msoufficient to support a numerous family my grandfather removed to Blantyre Works, a large cotton manufactory on the beautiful Clyde, above Glasgow, and his sons, having had the beat edueation the Hebrides afforded, were gladly received as clorks by the proprietors, Monteith & Co, He himself, highly esteemed for his unfinching honesty, was em- ployed in the conveyance of largo sums of money from Glasgow to the works, and in old age was, according to the custom of that company, pensioned off, 80 as to spend his declining years in ease and com‘ort, Our uncles all ontered his Majesty’s service daring the last French war, either as so!diers or eailors; but my father remained at home, and, though too contcientious ever to become rich’ as a small'tea dealer, by his kindli- nese of mauner and wiuning ways he made the heart- strings of bis children twine arotind him as firmly as if ne had esed and could. have bestowed upon them ery worldly advantage, Ho reared his children in connection with the Kirk of Scotland—a religious estab- lishment whieh has been an incalculable blessing to that countrv—but he afterward left it, and during the last twenty years of jiis life held the office of deacon of an independent church in Hamilton, and deserved my last- tag satin and homage for presenting inc, from my infancy, with @ continuously consistent pious cxamplo, such a8 that the ideal of which iz so beautifully ond truthfully portrayed im Burns’ “Cotter’s Saturday Night.” "He died in Fe>ruary, 185, in peaceful hope of.

With a of my first week’s wages I purchased Raddiman’s “Rudiments of Latin," and pursued the etudy of that language for mang years afterward with unabated ardor, at an evening school, which met between the hours eight and ten, The dictionary part of my labors was followed up till- twelve o'clock, read jn this way many of the olupsical authors, and know Virgil and Horace better at sixicen than I to new. Our schoolmaeter—happily still alivo—was supported in part by the company; he was attentive and kind, and so moderate in bis charges that all who wished for educa- tion might havo obtained it.
