A NY, To Burns1 Ul|fhlaud Mary. 0 loved by him whom Scotland loves, lioog loved, and honored duly J3y all who love the bard who sang So sweetly and so truly ! In cultured dales his song prevails, Thrills o'er the eagle's mry Ahl who that strain has caught, nor sighed For Burns' "Highland Mary!" 1 wandered on from hill to hill, I feared nor wind nor weather; For Burns beide me trod the moor, Besido me pressed the heather. I read his verse-his life-alas! O'er that dark shades extended With thee at last, and him in thee, My thoughts their wanderings ended. His golden hourn of youth were thine Those hours whose flight is fleetest; Of all his HOURS to thee he gave . Tho freshest and the sweetest. Ere ripe the fruit one branch ho brake, All rich with bloom and blossom; And shook its dews, its incense shook, Above thy brow and bosom. And when his spring, alas, how soon! Had been by caro subverted, His summer, like a god repulsed, Had from his gates departed; Beneath the evening star, once moro, Star of bis mora and even! Tc thee his suppliant hands he spread, And hailed his love "in Heaven." And if his spirit in "a waste Of shame" too oft was squandered, And if too oft his feet ill-starred In ways erroneous wnuderod; Yet still his spirit's spirit bathed In purity eternal; And all fair things through thee retained For him their aspect vernal. Nor less that tenderness remained Thy favoring love implanted; Compunctious pity, yearning vague For love to earth not granted; Reserve with freedom, femalo grace Well matohed with manly vigor, In songs where fancy twined her wreaths Round judgment's stalwart rigor. A mnte but strong appeal was mado To him by feeblest creatures; In his large heart had each a part, That part had found in nature's. The 'wildered sheep, sagacious dog, Old h orso redueed and crazy, The field-mouse by the plow upturned, And violated daisy. In him there bumed that passionato glow, All nature's soul and savor, Whioh gives its huo to every flower, To every fruit its flavor. Nor less the kindred power he felt,' That love of all things human, Whereof the fiery oentre is The love man bears to woman. He sang the dignity of man, Sang woman's grace and goodness; Passod by the world's half-truths, her lies Pierced through with lance-like shrewd? ness. Upon life's broad highways he stood, And aped not Greek nor Roman; But snatohed from Heaven Promethean fire To glorify thing3 common. He sang of youth, he sang of age, Their joys, their griefs, their labors; Felt with, not for, the people; hailed All Scotlaud's sons his neighbors; And therefore all repeat his verse Hot youth or graybeard steady, The boatman on Loch Etivo's wave, Tho shepherd on Bou Ledi. He sang from love of song; his namo Dunedin's cliff resounded He left her, faithful to a fame On truth and nature founded. Ho sought true fame, not loud acclaim; Himself aud time he trusted For laurels crackling in the flamo His fine ear never lusted. He loved, and reason had to love The illustrions land that bore him Whore'ov ho wont, like Heaven's broad tont A star-bright past hung o'er him. Each islo had fenced a saint recluse, Etoh tower a hero dying; Down every mountain-gorge had rolled The flood of foemen flyiug. From ago to age that land had paid No alien thron'- submission, For feudal faith had boen her law, And freedom her tradition. Whoro frowned tho rocks had froodom smiled, Sang 'mid tho thrill wind's whistle So England prized her garden rose, But Scotland loved hor thistle. The land thus pure from foreign foot, Her growing powers thoa centered Around her heart, with other Ianda The race historio entered. Her struggling dawn, convulsed or bright, Worked on through storms and troubles; Whilst ? heroic line of kings Strove with heroic nobles. Fair field alono the brave demand, And Scotland ne'er had lost it; And honest prove the hate and lovo Te objects meet adjusted. Intelligible course was hers By safety tried or danger; The nativo was for native known Tho strauger known for stranger. Honor in her a sphere had found, Nobility a station, The patriot's thought tho task it sought, And virtue-toleration. Her will and way had ne'er boen crossed In fatal contradiction; Nor loyalty to treason soured, Nor faith abused with fiction. Can song bo mute whore hearts aro sound? Weak doubts-away we Hing them! Tho land that breeds groat men, great deeds, Should ne'er lack hards to sing them. That vigor, sense, and mutual truth Which bullied each invador, Shall fill her marts, and feed her arts, Whilo peaceful olives shado her. Honor to Scotland and to Burns! lu him she stands collected; A thousand streams ono river make Thus genius, heaven-directed, Conjoins all separate veins of power In one great-soul creation; And blend a million men to make The poet of the nation. Honor to Burns! aud her who first Let loose tho abounding river Of music from tho pool's heart, Borne through all lands forever! How much to lier mankind hus owed Of song's selected treasures! Unsweetened by her kiss, his lips Had sung far other measures. Be green for aye, green bank and brm Around Montgomery's Castle! Blow there, ye earliest Howers! and there, Ye sweetest song-birds, nestle! j For thero was ta'en that last farewell In hopo, indulged how blindly; And there \\\is given that long last gaze "That dwcU" ou him "sm kindly." No word of thine recorded stands; Few words that hour wore spoken; Two Billies there were interchanged, Aud some slight love-gift broken. And there thy cold, faint hands ho pressed, Thy head by dew drops misted; And kisses, ill-resisted first, At last wore unresisted. Ah ceasel-she died. Ho, too, is dead, Of all her girlish graces Perhaps ono nameless lock remains; The rest stern time effaces D isl lost in dust. Not so; a bloom ls hers that ne'er can wither; And in that lay which lives for aye, The twain livo ou together. -o ?WHAT A PK KT TV LITTLE HAND." I nm not a bashful mau. Generally speak ing, I nm fully as confident and forward a.? most of my sex. Yet thero was ono periot of my life when all my merits seemed to ni} i own eyes insignificant, and I felt modest, not to say bashful. It was when I was ii: love. Thon 1 sometimes did not know where to put my hands and feet. Did 1 mention that in said hands and feet consist.' my gi oat cst. bounty ? They aro both small, A short timo ago I fell in love. I did nol walk into it quietly, weighing my idol's per fections against her defects. I fell in, beac and ears, two seconds after I first met her Sho was a glorious creature, with loj.g, brown hair floating over a snowy neck nut shoulders, and falling down on tho waist o an enchanting silk dress, ncr dark browt oyes wero full of saucy light-yet, oh ! hov tender and loving they could look. This ] found out hiter. Of all tho provoking, tantalizing co quettes that ever teased tho heart out of i poor man, Susy Arnold was tho most be witching. I would pass au evening will her, and then go home, certain th.vt om moro interview with her would make mo tin happiest of men ; but the next timo I me her, a cool nod and an indignant glauci threw down all my castles. Sho was vcr cautious. One evening while there I was seized will a violent headache. I told her I was subjec to such attucks, and tho pretty creature putting on a grave face, gave mo a lectur on tho subject of health, winding up with "The best thing you can do is to get i wife to take caro of yon, and to keep yoi from study. I nd viso you to do it-if yoi can get anybody to have you." "Indeed," I said, rather piqued, "thor aro only too many. I refrain from selec tion for fear of breaking other hearts. Hov fond all tho ladies aro of me, to bo sure ! I added, conceitedly, "though I can't se that I ara particularly fascinating." "Neither can I," added Susy, with an ai of perfect simplicity. "Can't you?" said I. "I hoped-hoped Oh! that dreadfully attractive face of hen "That is. Miss Susy, I thought, perhnps Oh! ray head, my head!" and 1 buried m faeo in the cushion. "Does it ache no very badly?" sho aske tenderly, and she put her cool, little han in among my curls. I felt the thrill he fingers gave me through my whole system My head hoing really very painful, I wo obliged to leave ; but all tho way homo th soft, cool touch ol those littlo fingers lin gored upon my brow. Soon ufter this it became necessary for ni to leavo the city on business. An offer of partnership in tho office of a lawyer frien of mino made me decide to extend my tri and seo how the "land lay." One thing wan certain: I could not leav home for months, perhaps years, witkou some answer from Susy. Dressed in m most faultless costume (it was the only suit I possessed) and full o? hope, I went tb Miss Susy's house. She was in the parlor at the piano, alone. She nodded gaily as I came in, but continued her song. It was "I've something sweet to tell youl" At ?.he words "I love you! I adore youl" ehe ga 3 me such a glance I was ready to prostrate myself, but, sweeping baok the curls from her forehead with laughing de fi? nn co, she warbled, "But I'm talking in my sleep." "Then," I cried, "you lovo me when you sleep! May I think so?" "Oh, yes, if you choose; for dreams go by contraries, you know." I sat down beside her. Wo chattod away for a time. At last I began: "Miss Susy, I came up this evening to tell yon that I-I-" How sho was listening! A bright thought struck mo. I would tell her of my journey, aud in tho emotion she was certain to be? tray, it would bo cosy to declare my lovo. "Miss Susy," I said, "I am going to New York to-morrow." "Going nway?" "Yes, for some months." "Dear mo, how distressiug! Just stop at Gaucho's as you go home and order mo sumo extra pockot handkerchiefs for this melan? choly occasion, will you?" "You do not seem to require them," I said, rather piqued ; "I shall stay some months." "Well, write to my ma, won't you? And if you get married, or die, or anything, let un know." "I have an offer to be a partner in a law office," I said, determined to try her, "and if I accept it, as I have somo thoughts of doing, I shall never return." Her faco will not change. Herold, saucy look was there as I spoke; but I noticed that ono littlo hand closed convulsively over her watch-chain, and that tho other fell upon tho keys, making, for tho first time, a dis? cord. "Going away for forever?" sho said with a sad tone, that made my heart throb. "Miss Susy, I hoped you, at least, would miss me and sorrow in my absence." "I?" "Yes, it might change all my plans if inj absence would grieve you." "Chango all your plana?" "Yes, I hoped-thought-." Oh! that earnest, grave face. My checks burned, my hands and feet seemed to swell, and 1 felt cold chills all over me. I could not go on. I broke down for a third time. Thcro was an awkward silence. I glanced at Susy. Her ejes were resting cu my ? hand, which lay on tho arm of the sofa. I The contrast between tho black horse hair and the flesh seemed to strike her. "What a pretty little hand," she said. A brilliant idea passed through my brain. "You may have it if you will," I said, of? fering it. She took it between her own, and, toying with thc fingers, said : "May I?" i "Yes, if-if you will give mo this one," and I raised her beautiful hand to my lips. She looked into my face. What sho saw there I cannot say ; but if ever eyes tried to talk, mino did then. Her color rose, tho white lids fell over her glorious eyes, and the tiuy hand struggled to free itself. Was I fool enough to releaso it? What I said I know not; but I dare say my betrothed eau tell you. Five minutes later my arms encircled abbie silk dress, tho brown hair fell upon .ny breast, and my lips were in contact with another pair.
