IHJRNS' MRitlDAY. ' I^hhI Friday \s as the birthday of i Burns. It was just l.'hi ytvirs since he I lirst ?aw the light in the little Ayrshire j I cottage. lii many of the larger cit'ta the j ; Caledonian noddles celebrate the an- j niversary \\ i t )t mhus and readings from ! tho p?et's works and end the or*niug I with a Highland dance. Why 8hut\ln uot the Scotchmen of AugiiNta? and t there ' are many of them ? get togetheif and I : honor their immortal fellow countryman? I Swe**t i'"ft <>f nature! It U true that na turn "Formed him Willi passions wilit and strong And list. niiiK to th ir witching voice often led him wrontf." Hut lu> h;is !iN deeply human in bin | tenderue.se> and sympathy an in hi* ! weakness and his lark -songs have cheer ed many a weary heart. | llo had a hard time in life. 1* tit the I jM?? t part of 1 Cohort Burns would not ! 1 1< ? w 1 1 . A vague, longing nm1<ltion strug gled :u h i 111 continually, a* he pathetical i ly 1*11 ( it, "iiko the blind groping of llo i liter's (.'ycloiKi around the walls of his rave." llo read while ho ate and his heart #mii;j out, though his back was j wearily bent over the plow. lie wrote verses, too, and iti 17H1 wrote some of note, for example, "He I hind yon hills where Stinchar Hows," i and, iiko many another i*>ot, and some i other folks besides, ho fell in love. The ! l'uvit (lino this happened ho was jilted, I and, as was natural, lie des|Niircd of all j Iwippliifss, and then resorted to consola j tion. lie was a rousing goo<l companion, and an eloquent personage in lyric feasts, j so that, after all. consolation came easy. When Burns was i.T> years old his father died, full of apprehension for Ids j rollicking l?oy. The boy, however, re | solved many times, "in spite of the j world, the flesh and the devil, to be a j wise man." On such occasions lie would ) devote himself with great enthusiasm to agrieulture, and succeed. 1'ike a gen ! i !??-?. in making a failure of the crops. I .lean Armour, hia future wife, caused | the repetition of an accident that hap ? pened to tho poet occasionally ami ho ! fell in love again. As Jean obeyed her ! father and her father thought little | enough of iiobbie Burns, Burns did not I marry right away, but bade adieu to hit* i "nativ? l>aul;s of Ayr." About th)s time, 17Kd, his first volume ; containing some of his best poems was published and plowed its way to popular favor. Burn* tlien decided not to leave : the country for a while. The poems were a t rue success, fm even maid servants I and plow Ik?,vs spent their scant earnings j that the> iiblght rcu'l them. As for the i bard himself, went to ICdinhurg, where j he bewildered the wise uud cirtolovratic by day and slept in a three shilling gar ret bed by night. He was indorsed only . .... ;; :-:;uuc prodigy, until WUiiu-ii I'itt recognized him as one of the great poets. The miles of Iho p^ems made some j small sums for the author, who then j "set lied down ami married." He took a farm lost his money and wrote sonic ; more pieces. Besides this, lie became an I excise ollicer and composed the versos j f>>r a bou I one hundred songs, "Tho Mel I odies of Scollii ml." For these poems some ; on? sent Burns several presents and | ft |?oiim!s. Burns was enthused with the French political ideas of Independence and indignantly rejected the money. Be j esi use of his revolutionary sympathies, t the Scotchman was cousi Icrod as an i abandoned character. He began to feel j old and lonesome and plunged f o- com ! pa nion.ship and sympathies into the (lis j sip.it ions of the lower ranks. In his own i w '"ds Jiis thoughts are pictured: "I fear it will be some trme before I j tune my lyre again. By Babel's streams j I have sat and wept. 1 have only known j existence by the pressure of sickness and counted time by the repercussions of ! pain. I close my eyes in misery and open \ them without hope." .A t last, in 171X5, July 21, he died, llis i last moments came near being passed In j jail, but a loan of 10 pounds from a j counsin saved Scotland this disgrace. ! A.s has been said so many times, Burns was a true child of nature. From this h.is come iiis soady growth In pop. | ularity and tho promise of an endearing fame. But be did not come, like the conn j try down, from a mere rude or unculti vated nature. From the Scotch i>ensantry t.he mind of Burns received a fitting de velopment.. He was not hampered with j the refinement that suppresses spontan eous expression. The spontaneous ox , pression he had, with the variety and | strength with which his moral and in ; iclb.v-tual education gave him. Scotland, j too. with its hiifM-.v ami religion, was eminently fitted to train and Inspire a serious and reflective imagination. Two of the most human qualities were pr. -eminent in Burns pathos and humor. He had gran i thoughts ami deep beauty, and these, by some magic of the heart. 1 verify the lim s of Hood: "There's not .1 strliiK attuned to mirth I Jut hath lis chord In melancholy." Tlif pathos of Itiirns l? not maudlin or inisa lit li r?>]>i ?*. It is n<>l mawkish pretense of sentim<-nt. Burns is always true to j what lie f<v!s and is guilty of nothing j ftof groveling and l?>ml>ast. intel'ectua! \-ant or literary quackery. He spoke his heart and npoke out true and strong iiw his own lionii'ly Srotrli dialect. Hums acquired his pre-eminence n?>t fr-'in his imagination. > ? i ? t from the psych ical faculty known as perception. Ills >iii< <4 are simple, for^ofu! and vehement- j ly sincere. Ineidcnts of Ids life ?liow ) thesi qu:;!it i- f to h i ve a natural origin. I I in career was elm raelerisle of his po-try. At one time Jean Armour was ' yliii? ill in the house of her parents. lluriiM had already arranged to quit S.-otland forever, but before going lie wanted to see .loin once more. The proud and o>rcn:ito t ? t ? 1 father st?t<?d i>i the d?H>rwa\, and would not let the "guile for njiething** enter. Tin* ardent poet was maddened hy his grief. He disrespectful l> pu d .lean's father aside, and rush ed up to nee iiis deiioate sweetheart. Here lie wept a* though bin heart would hurst. It is well to hear in mind that thin girl's name wa?

If thero has been an accident to her machinery she may need all the time already lout to make port under sail. The fact that none of the vessels arriving at New York sighted her probably is due to the preva Icncy of fogs and blinding snow storms.
