There was candle maker man,
And he was very old;
For i, was thirty years or more
Since lie began 10 mould.
His business on his face was wrote
As plain as though on paper;
HIS long nose running to point,
You sure would call topper.
And hamelike glowed his soly tip,
For drinking hard and sluliing
Had made it red, and. candle like.
|. brighter grew by snufing
A daughter fair he had, but he
Was want to beat and starve her,
Sail she, I'm sorry he's my pa,
But wish that no was father.'
And Cupid in her tender'hearl
An arrow dared to lhrow;
As that alone would be no use,
He gave her, too, a beau
But when her lover claimed her hand
The father did dispute;
Said he, Your ashes | would take,
But Ireject your suit
So when the shade Of night were
spread,
He round the house would hover.
And though he was no warrior yet
He was mighty lover.
MY fathers, cried the maid;
90! lover, who belied you-
For he will cane I'm afraid,
But come with me, IN hide you
So in the boiler he was Crammed,
His legs all cramped and bent;
Cried be, i have Me roPpergol,
Though he has 60, lhe SCENT
And there he passed The sleeples
hours
OF that evenlful night;
he time it passed SO heGUi'y,
lie wished that it was light
At early dawn, 10 light his fire
The cross old fellow came;
Alas! for lovers cons,ancy-
lie felt another fame.
Oh! maiden, maiden, could you now
Your lovers plight but see,
Your pa. for lovers sake, you'd hate
For pa.boiled he will be.
Oh! now within that boiler hot,
His every limb seemed frying
His situation, you will say,
Indeed must have been trying.
Now from bis seal he starts and scare
The old man not little;
Recover first yourself, old man,
Re CoUer then your kettle
And speed through the garden walks
The outer gate he won:
Sure; after such a melting down,
No wonder he should run.

Religion Of the D,g.-The Rev.
Henry Duncan in his Philosophy Of the
Seasons. relates the following original
anecdo,- of Burns:
i we'll remember with what deIish. |

which while yet school boy, ! enjoyed
an opportunity Of hearing in my fathers
manse, between the poe. Burns and an
ether poet, and near relation, the amiabe
Blackjack. The subjec. was the fidelity
of the dog Burns took up the question
with all the ardor and kindly feeling with
which The conversations Of that extraordi.
nary man was remark ably imbued. Ii
was subject well suited TO call forth his
powers; and when handled by such a man
not less suited to interest the youthful
fancy. The anecdotes by which it was
illustrated have long escaped nv memo
ry; but there was one sentiment express.
ed by Burns with his own characteristic
enthusiasm. which, as it threw a new
ligh. into my mind, shall never forget.
MAN. said he. is the God of the dog
Tie knows no other; he can understand
no other; and see how he worships him!
With what reverence he crouches at his
| feet; with what dependence he looks ur
to him. His whole soul is wrapped ur
in his God; and The powers and fsculue,
of his nature are devoted To his service;
and these powers and faculties are enoblet
by the intercourse. /, ough, JUS, to b.
