A VISIT TO THE HOME OF ROBERT
BURNS.

In a letter received by the last steamer from
Robert Chambers, Esq, occurs the following pas
S age, which taay possess interest to some of the
admirers of one, "whose fame is wide
as the world itself:"
about a fortnight ago W. & re. had the pleas
ure of handing GOO to the Misses Begg, being
the profits Of the cheap edition of the Life and
Works of Burns, edited by me, as promised by us
at the time of publication.
This sum will lie at interest, accumulating till
Mrs. Begg and her humanity cease, when, with
EGG, remaining Of the fund formerly collected for
Mrs. Begg-it will be sunk into distinct a~nnuities
for the daughters.
'The result with their several pensions of Clio,
from government will place them above all risk
of anything like want"
The Mrs. BOgg alluded to, it is almost unneces-
sary to mention, is the youngest sister of the poet
Burns. She is now residing on the banks Of the
Bonnie Doom" with her two daughters. As a
pendent to the above, | may add that during the
past summer | set out on a bright sunny day in
an early train from Glasgow, on a pilgrimage to
the birth place and tomb of Robert Burns. Among
the cherished "reminiscences Of that, to me, event
full day, is the recollection of an interview with
Mrs. Begg, who, at the time | saw her, was in the
enjoyment Of good health and in possession of all
her faculties. though she had completed her eigh-
%ty-fourth (Sith) year. During my stay Of above
an hour, | heard from her many interesting de-
tails OF her family and the olden time. Mrs Bege
remembers her brother's paying his addresses,

THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.

" hen in his twcntv.second year, to a rustic beauty
residing a few miles distant from the home of the
Burnses, on whom he composed his curious song
Of SMILES, "On Cessnock Banks there lives n LASS
Tho year following, 1882, she recollects being at q
IN crry dancing party Mt Torbolton, in company
with her brother Robert, and her sisters, Agnes
and Annabella.
Mrs, Begg recalls distinctly the death of her
worthy father, which occurred on the 18th of Feb.
ruary, 1884, rs related in Chambers Burns. She
stood by ms bedside that morning, with no other
company bat her brother Robert. Seeing her cry
ing bitterly at the thought of parting with him her
father endeavored TO speak, but could only muir
muir a few words Of comfort, such as we're suitable
for q child, concluding with an injunction to walk
in virtues path and shun every vice. After a
whose conduct he feared. lie repeated the same
expression, when the young poet came up and said:
Oh! father, is it me you mean 2" Tho old man
said /; was. Robert turned to the window with
the tears streaming down his manly cheeks, and
his bosom swelling as if it would burst, from the

"Misled by fancy's meteor ray,
By passion driven
and the son knew and repented his faults, though
he lacked the power to correct them. The old man
was buried in the churchyard of 'Alloways Aud
Haunted Kirk" where | visited his grave and saw
on n plain headstonc the following stanzas By
his son:
ooh We, when cheek the tear Of pity stains,
Draw near with pious reverence and attend,
Here lies the loving husbands dear remains,
The tender father and the gen'rous friend,
The pityin , heart that felt for human woe,
The dauntless heart that feared no human pride,
Tho friend of man, to vice alone a foe,
For even his failings leaned to virtues side"
| was so unfortunate as not to meet Mrs, Begg's
daughters, who reside with their mother in her
pretty ivy -ombowered cottage, as they were both
absent at tho village of Ayr, about two miles
distant.
OF the poets family three sons still survive, who
occasionally visit their aunt and cousins, and the
scenes rendered classic by their fathers writings,
The eldest, Robert, is living on a retiring pension
in Dumfries, having been in the civil service of the
government; the other two, James and William,
obtained commissions in the East India Company's
service, and have attained, respectively, the ranks

WOMANS RIGHTS IN PARLIAMENT.

We mentioned some time ago the intention ex-
pressed by Lord Lyndhurst of giving, at some tit
,tiug occasion, his views on the matter Of the legal
condition of women in England. This opportuni-
ty offered itself on the 2Oth of last month, on the
occasion of the Lord Chancellor (C~ranworth) NOV
ing the second reading of his Divorce and Matri-
monial Causes Bill. Our readers perhaps know
that in England man AMI wife can be unmarried
again only by the interpositien of the omnipotence
of Parliament; which, the lawyers say, can do any
rthinp except make a man a woman, or a woman a
man. However this may be, Parliament is the
only pewer of weight enough to make a man and
woman two after the law has pronounced them one
flesh. And the Parliament has restricted itself
within very narrow limits as to the exercise of this
act of sovereignty. Adultery is the only cause
recognized as Of sufficient gravity to justify a di-
yorce, and the applicant for one must have obtain
cd q decree of separation a meRsa ct thoro in the
Ecclesiastical Court (the only remedy for the
wrong the laws recognizel, and also a verdict for
damages in a suit at law. This, being n process
costing from E700 to 81 900, is one for the hus-
band emily. During a century and a half, there
have been but four Divorces granted on the appli-
cation of the wife. TIVE eff these were cases in
which the wife's sister was the party in the crime,
and saosher that of Miss Turner, q Young heiress,
whom Edward GibbOn Wakefield abducted some
five and twenty or thirty years ago and married.
The Lord Chancellor's bin proposed to erect q
new tribunal, consisting of the Chancellor, thu
Lord Chief Justice of the Queens Bench, and tn,
Ecclesiastical Judge of Probate. to have charge o
all matters between man and wife. This court II
have the power Of granting divorces a rineulO mat
gimonii with an appeal to the House Of Lords
leaving the husband also his remedy at Common
Law. The causes of the different degrees of di
vorce we're not to be different from those now ad
mitted, and the husband only was to have the RICH
to claim a full divorce, the wife being left just in
the condition the law now aeaves her. Lord Lynd
hurst very justly regarded this as a very ono-sided
and imperfect reform. He moved the reference Of
the bib to a Select Committee, to report such chan
ges as might be thought advisable. His LerdshiI
spoke for a space Of more than two hours on The
disgraceful state of English law as regards women
lie described with great feeling the condition of
wife who had obtained a separation from bed ant
board for her husbands iniideity. If any person
al property falls to her, it becomes his outright

AN INDIGNANT CHRISTIAN.

Mr.. EDITOR "A recent number Of the Nelc
York Tribune, in giving some extracts from a work
on the American Pulpit" just published, copies
from the work an anecdote which think is good
enough Cor the Investigator =
"At this time there resided in the city a colored
clergyman, "a member of the First Presbytery of
New York, born in Virginia, nearly white, well
and the owner of considerable property,
by the name Of S. 4. Cornish. One Sabbath, on
going to hear DR.. Cox preach, he was invited to
take a seat with one of the members in the body
Of the Church. This circumstance was regarded
as an insult by other prominent members, who
held a meeting after service and expressed their
Indignation. DR.. Cox was a brother minister and
personal friend Of the obnoxious person, and,
moreover, as all know, a man of generous impul-
ses and high sense of justice. 1t was inevitable
that he should take sides with the hospitable mem
Der; and thereupon he preached, on a succeeding
evening on a division humankind into five races, for
the purpose of dispelling race antipathies by the
application of the Gospel idea Of the brotherhood
OF man, and illustrated the folly Of Judging men
according to color, by saying, among other things,
that the Abyssinians made their devil a ohtte man;
that Christ himself was not of cur complexion
that he was Of the dark Syrian hue, probably dark
er than his brother Cornish, and il treated like
him would be turned out of the Church. There
upon the Courier and Enquirer stated, with fierce
comments, that DR.. Cox had said in his pulpit that
the Saviour Of mankind was "a negro 1t needed
only one more vigorous rub to evolve sufficient
electricity to fire the populace of the city. The
saying was passed from mouth to mouth. The ex
element was intense. A clergyman now in Europe
told US, as illustrative that he heard a merchant at
the fine, in speaking of DIR. Cox, with clinched
fist, say Hes against Slavery, and the South,
and the Union! And Cd d-n him, he calls
