Bonnu Doon--The history OF the air to which
the Banks O. Doom" was composed, is uncom-
mon. 1t happened that James Miller, writer
in Edinburg, was in company with stephen
Clarke the musician; the conversation turned
upon the beauty of the Scottish airs, when Mil
Ter declared he would like much to make one.
Clarke in jocular way told him that nothing
was more easy: he had only to keep to the black
KEYS of the harpsichord, preserve some kind OF
rhym, and the result would be true Scottish
air. What the musician meant for JOKE
Miller took seriously. To the harpsichord he
went, applied his fingers with such success to
the black keys, thar he speedily produced MS
tune, which, on receiving two or three touches
from Clarke. was given to the world, and with
such applause, that Burns remodel!ed his Banks
and braes o. boanv Doom" and adapted tito the
air, somewhat at the expense of its simplicity.
