BURKE-In an age eminent for intel'
lec,ual distinction, Burke won fer himself
The admiration Of Europe. Owing no,hing,
of his elevation to birth. opulence, or Off
cial rank, he required none of these adven-
,itious support 10 rise and move al ease.
and with instructive power, in the highest
regions of public effort and renown. The
atmosphere of courts and sena:es was ma
tive to his majesty of wing. Taere was no
fear tina. his plnmage would give. way in
either the storm or the sunshine those are
the casualties ofinferiOr powers. He had
his share Of boih-the tempest, and that
still more perilous trial, which has mclssd
down the virtue of so many aspiring spirits
the favor ofthe cabinet. But Burke grew
purer and more powerful for good !; to his
lates, moment, he constantly rose more and
more above the influence Of party, until at
last the politician was elevated into the
philosopher, aad fixing himself in that
loftier region, from which he looked down
on the cloudy aud turbulent contests OF the
time, he SCARED upward calmly In the light
Of truth, aud became more splendid-at ev-

EX-GOVERNOR poINDExTER.


The Elk Governor has written letter
to the Louisville Courier in which here@
pudia,es the accounts given of his late
speech at jackson, Miss. Tho following
extract is the most important part ofths
letter: .s2
GOT Mr. Clay. think as have always
tbought,.I spoke of him on the occasion
referred to, as have ever spoken of him
and no man who knows me will for a mo-
ment credit the idea that on this or any
other occasion, indulgod myself in abus-
i've language of that eminent citizen, or
any other language disparaging TO his
character, talents or patriotism. Differ.
ing as sometimes have done, both in and
out Of Congress, in opinion from Mr. Clay
on great questions Of national policy,
while have not hesiia,ed to give utter
ance 10 my opinions, have never departs
ed in nay language from the most per-
feet decorum, nor from the respect and
difference which have ever paid to the
opinions of Mr. Clay. No man knows
better than do the merits of this emisj
nent Statesman, and no man has gone
or " ould 90 father 10 illustrate and defend
his character before the American peo-
pie than myself.
L 81 beg leave TO give you the words I
used in my speech which was the only
notice taken Of him except in the con-
neciion with general reasoning on the
state of the country,and the causes which
led to the Mexican war. My words were
as follows; .Mr Clay is native Ameri-
can citizen, whose heart beats high with
pulsations of zeal ana warmth in the
cause of his country, and whatever may
4 have been his errors in times past or AZ
the present day, his fame is the property
of his countrymen, and as such ought to
be preserves and cherished" @

A NIGHT WITH BURNS.

In Ains~orth's LoD,lon Magazine there
is an account OLA Night with Burns, 'sby
DR.. R. Shelton-A akenzie, which is charac>
ieristic and amusing 1873 zEa
One Andrew Horner, resident of Cars
Isle, went 10 Glasgow to publish volume
ofpoems, much admired by himself. Odd>
ly enough, on his way home he strayed out
of the direct road into Ayr, whete he met
with Burns at a public house, and some
boon companions set the poet Grant and
the poet resident (whose fame was then
unmade) to try their strength in match
at verse-making. An emigtam was the
subject chose q, because, as Andrew argued,
it is the shortest of all poems.'' In cons
pliment to him, the company resolved that
his ewn merit should supply the theme
He commenced ~S ss.a gus a,e-
" In seventeen hundred ihretty-nine )" -,
and paused. He then said, 8 Ye see that
Twas born in 1879, so make that the com>

folded his paper with a conscious air of
authorship, squared himself at the table,
like one who considered il no uife even to
write letter, and slowly put down, in a
good round hand. as if he had been making
out bill Of parcels. the line ..,.-. ....

Inc sweetest fiowerets seldom blossom,
Like trUants from some fairer cline,
Too frail to bloom on earth's cold bosom,
They droop and wither ere their prime.
The beautiful and good are dying
The pure in hearl-the fair Of form
And withered hopes are round US lying,
7 Like rose-leaves scattered by the storm!
Since Manhood's schemes are all dnholy,
+ 'Twere sweet to die in Life's green Spring,
While yet the heart is pure and lowly,
And Youths bright dreams are en- the wing.
'Twere sweet, twere sweet to leave untasted
, The dregs of life-its want and woe
And 60, with all its wealthNunvasted,
Where streams and founts immortal flow.
We see our idol'd ones departing
; We sigh and say the last farewell;
The qnivering lip, the tear.drop starting,
The anguish of our spirits tell.
Yet DER the gushing fount Of sorrow,
A thousand shining angels staud,
To tell US that upon the morrow
We meet them IN the Splrit-LaI.d.
We part-we pledgethe farewell token,.
And joy and hope blend with our pain
But the trusting heart, once crush'd and broken.
Can never thrill with life again
The blown-out LAMP may be re-lighted,
The Spring earth's blossoms will restore;
But the buds Of early love, once blighted.
They bloom no more-they bloom no more
