he then became true poet, not worth ha'pence
About this time his rhymes became known in the
village; but short period after he travelled for
Edinburgh, and had volume published. Fortune
now first smiled upon him. He was received in the
highest circles, and he became an object of general
interest and admiration: This Edinburgh edition
realised him five hundred pounds. He now bowed
at the Hymeneal altar, and " his lovely Jane' be-
came his partner for life. Politics also engrossed
his attention, and petty Office of 20 pounds was all
he ever received. But he gave too free lcence to
his expressions on the affairs of the French people,
and he was nearly dismissed. This produced NOR
tfcation of feelings, and was severe wound upon
his character. He composed few more poems at
his leisure moments, till declining health forbade

during his illness, and have since evinced sincere

BIOGRAPHY.
From the Port Folio Of Strolimg Gentleman.
ROBERT BURNS

This famous songster of ssauld Edinborc',' was
born in January, 1852 in the town of Ayr from which
was derived the appellation of the Ayrshire poet
He received a common scholastic education, and his
early years gave but little promise of that genius
and talent which afterwards rendered him so dstn-
guished, and placed his name aside the most cele-
brated poets of the age. The passion of love, in
his sixteenth year. first inspired his muse. The be-
witchng smiles of his partner in the harvest field,
labors in the evening" he lotered behind her on her
return home" Thus, with me (says Burns) be-
gan love and poetry" He continued farming and

what different feelings do its numerous
victims prepare to descend into its dim
recesses! Some are buoyed up with hope
-others cast down, shaken, almost mad
dened by fear, and hopeless, unceasing,
overwhelming despair: some seek its
gloomy protection with JOY, others descend
into its cold profundity with sorrow, and
others with calm indifference. The man
OF" three-score years and ten" who has
lived throughout his brief span, ubiect to
the varied good and evil Of humanity, will
$50 down into the grave +" in peace, and
with the hope of renewed and blessed
existence in eternity. The strong and lus-
ty sinner, with defiance on his lip, and
boldness-the bo!dness &C despair and
guilt-upon his unbending brow, will still
wrestle with the mortal stroke, till the
arrow has pierced his vitals. The young
mother, although sustained and elevated
by fervent hope, soothed, even in the dark
hour of departing life, by consciousness
OF her own meek virtues-think you, will
SHE leave her weeping husband, her dar-
ling babes-the bright sunshine Of youth
the sweet hopes, and fears, and joys,
aye, or even the griefs of mortality, un-
moved? Oh no, no !! she would willingly
forego her doom, even were it only for
short season, and although that brief sea-
son we're to afford naught but the bitter
ness oflife-"the NORWOOD and the gall"
The man of sorrow, whose life has been
but sparingly "chequered o'er' with the
good things of this world whose spirit
has been bruised and broken by the un-
feeling hardheartedness ofhis fellow-men
who has languished on in poverty, and
nakedness, and hunger-without friends
for who will befrend the wretched
without kindred for who will acknowI-
edge the hapless ?-without a being to
whom he could apply for succour, or from
whom could he expect even the uncostly
balm of kind word-to such an one
and many such there are-the grave is as
bed Of down, soft as the breath Of event.
where he may rest in peace, secure at
length from the wants, and woes, and Bit
ter humiliations, of poor humanity.

AUCTION OF LADIES.

An auction of unmarried ladies used
to take place annually in Babylon. "In
every district" says the historian, (" they
assembled on a certain day of every year,
all the virgins Of manageable age
The most beautiful was first put up, and
the man who bid the largest sum of mo-
ney gained possession of her. The Sc
cond in personal appearance followed,
and the bidders grali6ed themselves with
handsome wives, according to the depth
of their purses. But, alas it seems there
were in Babylon some ladies for whom
no money was likely to be offered, yet
these also were disposed of, SO provident
were the Babylonians. "When all the
beautiful virgins says the historian,-
"were sold, the crier ordered the most
deformed to stand up; and after he had
openly demanded who would marry her
with small sum, she was at length
adjudged to the man who would be salts
fed with the least; in this manner, the
money arising from the sale Of the hand
some served as portion to those who
were either Of disagreeable looks, or that
had any other imperfection." This Gus
tom prevailed about 500 years before
Christ.

scene sequestered from the haunts of men,
The loveest nook in all that lovely glen,
Where weary pilgrims found their last repose,
The little heaps were ranged in comely rows,
With walks between, where friends & kindred tired,
Who dressed with duteous hand each hallow'd sod.
No sculpured monument was wrought to breathe
HIS praises, whom the worm destroy'd beneath
The high, the low, the mighty and the fair,
Equal in death, were undistingush'd there
Xet not a hlllock mouder'd near that spot,
BY one dishonour'd, or by all forgot.
To some warm heart the poorest dust was dear,
From some kind eye the meanest claim'd tear.
And oft the living, by affection led
Were wont to walk in spirit with the dead;
Where no dark cypress casts dolefu gloom,
No blighting yew shed poison DER the tomb,
But white and red, with intermnging Aowers,-
The grave lookd beautiful in sun and showers.
Twas not scene for grief to noursh care

for be must have strange heart who can
resist the quiet and soothing influence Of
its sequestered solitude. Who can walk
among the grassy tombs-

From east to west

whose rank and wealth could not preserve
him, even though cased in lead, from the
common corruption of the grave. There
is, also, some instructive lessons to be
learned from the Wondering bones which
are kicked about indiscriminately by idle
boys. Shakespeare, Sterne-alas poor

relics.
