veyed to our destination, making the trip in
reasonable time and against unfayorable

to meet in steamboat travel, more kind treat

sprinkled with romance, and there were mo-
Tncnts of peculiar anxiety on the part of all.

Roberts, as we'll as an item for history and
herein it is suggested to the daily papers in

And wander 'mang her highland hills |;

And listen to her monte rils;

Or gang alang the banks Of Ayr;
At cen, at morn, or at hiyh noon,
And hearken to the music there;
Could l auld Dumfrie's Kirkyard see,
And mark the resting place of Burns
And ither kinks frae sea to sea,
Containing mony sacred urns-
And with the Shade O. Bruce the lov'd
Recount the scenes he lo'ed sac well;
Or see the heart of Wallace moved,
@t For these, for wham to save, he fell;
Or listened to "blest freedoms shrek,
As tyrants o'er him bore the gree;
And seen him nobly dare, and seek,
To make his dear lo'ed Scotia free:
