ROBERT BURNS.

Born within the lowly cottage
I To destiny obscure, -.- g.
Doomed through youths exciting sprinE-tlms =
But 70 labor and endure
Yet despair he elbewed from him,
Nature breathed with holy, joy,
In the hues Of morn and evening,
. On the eyelids Of the boy;
And his country's Genius bound him
Laurels for his sun burned brow,
When inspired and proud she found him
Toiling calmly at the plonrs
On exulting In his magic
Swept the gifted poet on --rt -l
Though his feet were on the greensward,
Light from Heaven around him shone;
At his conturation, demons
Issued from their darkness drear;
HoTering round on silver pinions,
Z Angels stopped his songs to hear
Bowed the PASSIONS to his bidding a.
4 Terror gaunt, and Pity calm;
Like the organ poured his thunder
Like the lutte his fairy psalm.
,Loi wheu clover swaths lay round him, Z.
{ Or his feet the furrow pressed,
He could mourn the severd daisy,
Or the monse's ruined nest; -
Wove Of gloom and glory, visions
T Haunting thronged his twilight hour;
Birds enthralled him WI tn sweet music,
Z Tempests with their tones Of power;
Eagle-winged his mounting spirit -,
Z CnstoH's musty letters spurned
Tasso-like, for Jean he melted;
Wallace-like, for Scotland burned,
Scotlandl dear to him was Scotland,
In her sons and in her daughters.
In her Highlands-Lowlands-Isi
Regal woods and rushing waters
In the glory Of her story,
WheL her Tartans fred the field
Scotland oft betrayed-beleagured-
Seotiandi never known 70 yield
Dear 10 him her Doric language-
Thrilled his heart-strings ut the name
And he left her more than rubies,
In the riches of his fame

The best kind of an iron-beam plow
can be bought across Niagara river, ia
Canada, foI seven dollars, while the same
article costs in Orleans county, near by,
fourteen dollars. The purchaser of 81

pay, when he brings it across the river, a
duty of 81 upon it. Thus the farmers of

The amnesty bill has been defeated in
the Missouri legislature, which result
probably assures the calling of Il conven-
ton to amend the State constitution
Dislike of the Drake" constitution, and
desire for an organic law more in conso-
nance with the enlightened progress of
public thought, probably contributed to
the defeat of the bill in question.

CARNRY'S MAGNANIMITY.

1t is we'll understood, all over the
State, that the friends of Ex-Governor
Thomas Carney were anxious that lie
should be n candidate for Z. S. Senator
at the late election. For several days II
was expected he would be Few, If any
of the aspirants could have rallied more
positive strength. His friends are in
every district in tho State. 1t was
with great regret, few days after the
! Senatorial fight commenced, that they
! learned of the Governors determine
| ton not to be- candidate. Governor
Carney told his friends that Leaven-
worth had been unfortunate because OF
the discussions among herleading men
that she laid all her ills to the fact that
she had been unrepresented in Con-
gress that Notwithstanding his pros
| pect OF election if he were n candidate,
and notwithstanding the solicitation OF
his many friends, he could not and
would not take any course that would
divide Leavenworth. He therefore
withdrew and cast the full strength OF
his influence for the successful Cald-
well. On this subject the White CtOud
CHIEF, one of the oldest and most influ-
entail papers in tho State, has the fol.
| lowing, which we heartily endorse. II
tells the simple truth concerning Gov.
ernor Carney's relation to the Senate
rial contest:
This is the man to whom, more than
all others, Leavenworth owes the hon
| or of having secured a United States
Senator. Gov. Carney went to Topeka
at the earnest solicitation of friends
| throughout the entire State, with view
| to entering the race for the Senatorship
| There is no man in Kansas that has rs
many warm friends as Gov. Car
ney all over the State, who are so deVo-
tedly attached to him. He had more
positive and reliable votes in the Legis-
| lature than any other candidate; and q
decided majority of the Leavenworth
| delegation were for him. But Mr.. Cald-
| well was also on the track, and claimed
that he had given such pledges to his
| friends, that he could not honestly with
draw while one of them was willing to
stand by him. Gov. Carney then, much
to the regret of his friends, withdrew
from the contest, in order to leave but
| one Leavenworth man to concentrate
upon and from that time on, he work
cd with all his might for the election OF
Caldwell, urging all his friends to give
him their earnest support.
He undoubtedly secured the success
! of Caldwell. He was repeatedly urged,
during the session, to permit his name
to be again used and on the very eve
of the election, influential men, who
were opposed to Caldwell, requested
permission to use Carney's name, assur-
ing him that large vote could be con-
centrated upon him-and there is but
little doubt that, even al that late date,
he could have made the race successful
ly. But he steadily refused, saying that
his word of honor stood pledged, and
he would keep it inviolate, be the con-
sequences to himself what they might.
Such is the history of his connection
with the Senatorial fight, and it GER
tainly shows him forth in the most hon.
able light.

The Philadelphia reporters are In for

details OF bar-room fight, John Fabin,

the knight Of the quill. Wherefor the
reporter had Fabin arrested, and held
in $4,000 bail not to do so. Fabin is
in Jail, and Saturday all the reporters
were notified by gang of roughs that
they would be shot if any more I'M

A club of practical jokers imfests

shot at and missed him three times, and
then whipped him badly. They finish
ed by whipping Davis and his son Oscar,
and then left, the whipped men watch

lars of horrible murder near that

murder was committed while the fami-
~ with whom Mr.. Twiss lived were at
church, on Sunday = week ago. The
coroner's jury found a gunshot wound
through the right breast and three cuts
and bruises on the head, and that Jacob
Miller, Daniel Miller, Henry Miller,
William Miller, and John Sturmsn and
+ James were concerned in the perpe-
tration of the deed. All of the parties
named by the jury were arrested except
F. James, who could not be found.

Tuesday, Mr.. Hoar reported to the
House, at Washington, bill to estab-
lish a national educational system at an
annual expense of S50,OO0O00.
The House committee which has
been investigating West Point, recon-
mends the restoration of the three ca
diets who were driven out by their COM
rades. The report states the leaders in
the expulsion were President Grants
son, Adj.-Gen. Townsend's son, and
the late Admiral Farragut's son. These
boys had so much influence that the su-
perintendent and officers of the acade-
my feared to reinstate the expelled ca
diets. 1t is also stated that young Grant
has several times secured the pardon of
cadets who were subject to penalties
for violating discipline, and that he has
assumed a power above the lawful gov
ernors of the academy. (Have we
young royal princes and high blood
dukes among us?) A lively debate is
expected when the subject is laid be-
fore the House.

To the honorable board Of directors oC the

GENTLEaIEN:-We, the undersigned teach

submit the following statement of opinion and
petition. In our judgment, the employment
of two assistant teachers instead of one, as
voted by you ut the recent meeting of the
