Toom Shawn Cattie

By MELANION.

I find these words (Gaelic, I believe, from *Tom John Gattie*) in an old Diary, followed by certain hieroglyphics, wherewith I was wont to express "*recommended for perusal*." I have lost all trace of the recommender, and have hunted in vain through many a circulating library list for the name, which I believe to be that of some book or song illustrating the domestic life of our Western Highlanders. Can any of your readers assist me in deciphering my own note?
