Robert Burns's latest biographer, Principal Shairp, notes that the poet "would not have been a Scotchman if he had not been mora lizer; but then his moralizing, are not platitud- es, but truths winged with wit and wisdom He had, as we have seen, his limitations-h bias to overvalue one order of qualities, and to disparage others. Some pleading of his own cause and that of men of his own temperament, some disparagement of the severer, less impul- sive virtues, it is easy to discern in him. Yet, allowing all this, what flashes of moral insight, piercing to the quick! What random savings flung forth, that have became proverbs in all lands-'mettoes of the heartv His humanity was not confiued to man; it overfiowed to his lower fellow creatures. For all aspects of the natural world he has the same clear eve. the same open heart, that he has for man. His love of nature is intense, but very simple and direct, no subtilizings nor refnings about it. nor any of that nature-worship which soon after his time came in. Quite unconscisusly, as a child might, he goes into the outward world for refreshment for enjoyment, for sympathy. Everywhere in his poetry nature comes in, not so much as being independent of man, but as the background of his pictures of life and human character"

A NOBLE WOMAN LOST HER HAND Bur SAVED HER LIFE.-The highest medical au- thorities agree that the disease called Erysi- peas arises from an impure state of the blood Hence, to cure this diease, medicines having power to purify the blood are given. To illustrate the power of Dr. D. Kennedys FA- voRITE REMEDY to do this precise thing, we cite the case of Mrs Edward Mayors, wife of the Captain of the Steamer Columbia, of Cor nell & Co.'S line, of Rondout, N This lady had been treatd for months for Erysipelas of the hand. without benefit. When her hand and arm had became a perfect mass of purified flesh she consulted Dr. Kennedy, who at once amputated the arm. To prevent the return of the disease the doctor gave freely his FAVOR TIE REMEDY. It cleansed her blood, warded off the Erysipelas and she is now well. This medicine is for sale by all dealers.
