"I DID AS THE REST DID" This time
yielding spirt-this doing as a" as the rest did y
has ruined thousands.
A young man is invited by vicious compan.
ions to visit the theatre, or the gambling room
or ether haunts of RIGHTEOUSNESS. He becomes
dssipated-spends his time-loses his credit
squanders his property, and at last sinks into an
untimely grave. What ruined him. Simply
doing as The rest did
A father has family of sons He is wealthy.
Other children in the same situation of life do
so and so-are INDUCED in this thing and that
He inoulges his own in the same way. They
grow up idlers-trifiers-a fops. The father
wonders why his children do not succeed bet.
ter. He has spent much money in ;heir edu.
eation,-has given them great advantages
But, alas, they are only a source of vexation
and trouble. Poor man-He' is Just paying
the penalty of " doing as the rest did,
This poor mother strives hard to bring Ut
her daughters genteelly. They learn wha
Others fearn-to paint-te sing-to play-tt
dance, and several other useless matters. Ii
time they marry-their husbands are unable t.
support their extravagance-and they are scor
reduced to poverty and wretchedness TIL,
good woman is astonished. "Truly," SAYS she
=" did as the rest did"
The sinner following the example of Others
puts off repentance-and neglects to prepare
for death. He passes along through life, till,
unawares, death strikes she fatal blow. He has
no time left now to prepare. And he goes
down to distraction, because ho wac so foolish
as to ado as the rest did"

"To MARY Is HEAVEN" This celebrated
poem was, it is on all hands admitted, compos-
ed by Burns in September, 1883, on the ami
versary of the day on which he heard of the
death of his early love, Mary Campbell; but
Dir Cromek has thought fit TO dress up the sto.
Ty with circumstances which did not occur
Mrs. Burns, the only person who could appeal
to personal recollection of this occasion, and
whose recollection of all circumstances connec-
ted with the history of her husbands poems
are represented as being remarkable distinct
and vivid, gives what may at first appear more
prosac edition of the history. According to
her, Burns spent that day. though aboIing un-
der cold, in the usual work of his harvest, and
apparently in excellent spirits But as the
twilight deepened, he appeared to grow az very
sad about something" and at length wandered
out into the barn yard, to which his wife in her
anxiety for his health, followed him, entreatinp
him in vain, to observe that the frost had set in
and to return to the freside. On being again
and again requested to do SO, he always prom.
ised compliance but still remained where he
was, striding up and down slowly, and contem
plating the sky, which was singularly clear
and starry. At last Mrs. Burns found him
stretched on mass of straw, with his eyes fix.
ed on a beautiful planet, that " shone like
another moon )" and prevailed on him to come
IN. He Immediately on entering the house
called for his desk, and wrote exactly as thew
now stand, with all the ease of one copyino
from memory, those sublime and pathetic yer.
