Highland Mary.

The mother of Burns Highland Mary, who
resided in Greenock for long period, died there
on the 9th of October, 1927, at the advanced
age OF eighty five years. This venerable looking
woman remembered to almost the last moment
of her existence, with an atfectonate regard, the
one who inspired Burns finest etfusons, and
was the object of his purest attachment; and it
was impossible to hear her enter minutely into
the full particulars of her daughters life, and
the amiable qualities of her heart, without feel
ing convinced that Mary Campbell had some
thing more than ordinary attractions to fasci-
nate the mind of the poet. Were we to judge
from the appearance of the mother, whose fine
black eyes and regular features, at her advanced
age, gave indications of early beauty, we would
say that "Highland Mary" probably had also
personal charms, which would have influenced
less sensitive mind than that of Robert Burns.
Among the little stories of the deceased, there
was nothing to be found as mementoes of the
gifted bard, but the Bible which he gave his be-
loved Mary on that day when they met on the
banks of the Ayr, ito live one day of parting
love-" 1t is, indeed, curiosity, and has writ
ten, on the first leaf, in Burns hand writing, the
following passage Of Scripture, which is strik-
ingly illustrative of the poets feelings and cir
cumstances-"Thou shalt not forswear thyself,
but perform unto the Lord thine oaths." 1t is
well known that after this they never met again,
and that time could not efface the solemnity OF
this parting from his mind; and it is to be re-
gretted that two letters, which he wrote after
her death to the afflicted mother, have been de-
sIroyed-the old woman saying, ''she could new
or read them without shedding tears" The
mother and daughter are now sleeping in the
West Church-yard; and is "Mary" to remain
without stone to tell the stranger of her place
of rest 2-Home Journal

WELL CoNvERsED CH1LDREN-It is quite q
mistake to suppose that children love the par
ents less who mantai9 proper authority over
them. On the contrary, they respect them
more. 1t is cruel and unnatural selfishness
that INDUCES children in a foolish and hurtful
way.
Parents are guides and counsellors to their
children. As guide in foreign land, they un-
deriake to pilot them safely through the shoals
and quicksands of inexperlence. If the guide
allows his followers all the liberty they please
if, because they dislike the constraint of the
narrow path of safety, lie allows them to stray
into holes and down precipices that destroy
them, to loiter in woods tull of wild beasts or
deadly herbs-can he be called sure guide2-
And is it not the same with our children2-
They are as yet 10 the preface, or, as it were, in
the first chapter of the book of life. We have
nearly finished it, or are far advanced. We
must open the pages for these younger minds.
Ii children see that their parents act from
principle; that they do not find fault without
reason that they do not punish because per-
sonal offence is taken, but because the thing in
itself is wrong-if they see that, while they are
resolutely but affectionately refused what is not
good for them, there is a willingness to oblige
them IN all innocent matters-they will soon ap-
precia.e such conduct. If fno attention is paid
for youthful spirits, if they are dealt with in a
hard and unsympathizing manner-the proud
spirit will rebel, and the meek spirit be broken.

Anecdote Of Mr.. Madison.
BY JAS. e. PAULDING.

BY JAS. e. PAULDING.
I believe the only time laughed except at
the jokes of greater men than myself, during the
period l remained an object of envy to millions,
was on an occasion shall never forget. l was
called out of my bed, early one cold winter NOR
ming, by person coming on business of the ut
most consequence. and dressed myself in great
haste, sopposing that it might be summons to
a cabinet council. When | came into my Office
found long-sided man, at least six feet high,
with little apple-head, long queue, and q face
critically round, as rosy as a ripe cherry. He
handed me letter from the Honorable Peleg
Peshell, recommending him particularly to my
patronage. | was little inclined to be rude,
but checked myself, remembering that was the
servant Of such men as my visitor, and that
might get the reputation Of an aristocrat if
made any distinction between man and man.
'Wel my friend what situation do you wish ~
"Why y y, I'm not very particular; but some
how or other think I should like to be min
lister. don't mean Of the gospel, but one of
them ministers to foreign parts"
''Im very sorry, very sorry, indeed; there is
no vacancy just now. Would not something
else suit you2"
"Wny-y-y," answered the apple-headed man,
II wouldn't much care it took situation in
one of the departments | wouldn't much mind
OelnG q COIHpIrOlleF, UT Ill duuitOr Or SOue SUCH
thing"
''My dear sir, I'm sorry, very sorry, very sor-
ry, indeed, but it happens, unfortunately, that
all these situations are at present filled. Would
not you take something elseS"
My friend stroked his chin and seemed strug-
Cling to bring down the soarings of his high am
bition to the present crisis. At last he answer
ed:
"Why-yy, ye-as-s; don't care i'll get a good
collectorship, or inspectorship, or suveyorship,
or navy agency, or anything of that Sort"
"Really, my good Mr.. Phippenny," said !, 81
regret exceedingly that not only all these places,
but every place of consequence in the govern
ment, is at present occupied. Pray think of
something elSe."
He then, after some hesitation, asked for a
clerkship, and finally the place of messenger to
one of the public officers. Finding no vacancy
here, he seemed in vast perplexity, and looked
all around the room, fixed his eyes at length on
me, and measured my height from head to foot.
Then, putting on one of the drollest looks that
ever adorned the face of man, be said:
sinister, you and | seem to be built pretty
much alike-haven't you some old clothes you
can spare?'
s'Oh, what a falling off was there from for
eign mission to suit of old clothes, which the
reader may be assured gave him with infinite
pleasure, in reward for the only honest laugh
enjoyed for years afterward.-Hone Journal.

POETRY.


The Voyage of Life.
wish l could as merry be-
AS when l set out this world to see,
Like boat filled with good companie
On some gay voyage sent.
There Youth spread forth the broad white sail
Sure of fair weather and full gale,
Confding life would never fail,
Nor time be ever spent
And Fancy whistled for the wind,
And if e'er Memory looked behind,
Twas but some friendly sight to find,
And gladstone wave her hand,
And Hope kept whispering in Youths ear
To spread more sail. and never fear,
For the same sky would still be clear,
Until they reached the land.
Health, too, and Strength tugged at the oar,
Mirth Knocked the passing pillows roar,
And Joy, with goblet running Ger,
Drank draughts of deep delight;
And judgment at the helm they set,
But Judgment was child as yet,
And, lack-a-day was all unfit
To guide the boat Alright
Bubbles did halt her thoughts employ,
Hope she believed-she played with Joy,
And Fancy bribed her with toy.
To start which way he chose;
But still they were merry crew,
And laughed at danger as untrue,
Till the dim sky tempestuous grew,
And sobbing south wind rose
Then Prudence told them all she feared,
And Youth awhile his messmates cheered,
Until at leugth he disappeared, 90
Though no one knew how he went;
Joy hung his head, and Mirth grew dull, -
Health faltered, Strength refused to ull.
And memory, with her soft eyes full,
Backward her glance still bent
To where. upon distant sea, s.E
Bursting the storms dark canopy,
Light from sun none now could see,
Still touched the whirling wave,
And though Hope. gazing from the bow,
Turns oft-she sees the shore-to tow,
Judgment, grown older now, trow,
Is silent, stern and grave.
And though she steers with better skill
And makes her fellows do her will,
Fear says the storm is rising still,
And day is almost spent.
O! that could as merry be,
As when set out this world to see,
Like boat filled with good companie,
On some gay voyage sent.

Sabbath Physiology.


The Almighty observed one-seventh of the
time of creation, commanding man to observe an
equal repose. The neglect of this injunction
will always, sooner or later, bring mental, moral
and physical death.
Rest is an invarable law of animal life. The
busy heart beats ever, from infancy to age, and
yet for large part of the time, it is in state OF
repose.
VIM. Pitt died of apoplexy at the early age OF
forty-seveD. When the destinies of nations hung
in large measure on his doings he felt compell-
ed to give an unremitting attention to affairs OF
State. Sabbath brought no rest to him, and
soon the unwilling brain gave signs OF exhaus-
ton. But his presence in Parliament was con-
ceved to be indispensable for explanation and
defense of the public policy. Under such cir
cumstances, it was his custom to eat heartily,
substantial food most highly seasoned just be-
fore going to his place, in order to afford the
body that strength, and to excite the mind to
that activity deemed necessary to the moment
ous occasion. But under the high tension both
body and brain pershed prematurely.
Not long ago, one of the most active business
men of England found his affairs so extended,
that he deliberately determined to devote his
Sabb aths to his accounts. He had mind of a
wide grasp. His views were SO comprehensive,
80 far seeing, wealth came in upon him like q
food He purchased country seat at the cost
OF 100000, determining that he would now
have rest and quiet But it was too late As
he stepped on bis threshold after survey of his
late purchase, he became apOpletic. Although
lite was not destroyed, he only lives to be the
wreck of q man.
1t used to be said that brick kiln must be
kept burning over the Sabbath, it is now known
to be fallacy. There can be no must" against
the divine command. Even now it is received
opinion that iron blast furnaces will bring ruin
it not kept in continual operation. Eighteen
years ago an EnglishInan determined to keep
the Sabbath holy as to them, with tho result, as
bis books testified, that he had made more iron
in tie six days than he did before in the seven
that he made more iron in given time, in pro-
portion to the number of hands and size OF the
furnaces, than any establishment in England
which was kept in operation during the Sabbath.
In our OWE New York the mind OF man who
made half million year, went out in the
night of madness and an early grave in two
years, from the very strain put upon it by va
riety OF enterprises, every one of which succeed
ed
ut will take about five years to clear them
off. " said an observant master of an Ohio canal
boat, alluding to the wearing out influences on
the boatmen who worked on Sabbaths as wella
other days. As to the boatmen and firemen on
