THE LASS OF BALLOCHMYLE
ROBERT BURNS.

Twas eyen-the dewy fields were green
On every blade the pearls did hang;
The zephyr wantoned round the bean
And bore the fragrant sweets alarg;
In every glen tie mavis sang,
All nature listening seemed the while,
Except where greenwood echoes rang
Amang the braes O. Ballochmyle.
With careless step onward strayed
Ny heart rejoiced in natures joy;
When musing in lonely glade,
A maiden fair chanced to spy.
Her look was like the mornings eye,
Her air ike natures vernal smile
Perfection whispered, passing By,
Behold the lass o. Ballochmyle.
Fair is the morn in lowery May,
And sweet is night in autumn mild,
When rowing thro' the garden gay,
Or wandering in lonely wild;
But Woman, natures darling child
There all her charms she does compile;
Ev'n there her other works are foiled
BY the bonnie lass o Baliochmyle
Oh, had she been country maid,
And the happy country swain,
Tho sheltered in the lowest shed
That ever rose in Scotland's plain
Thro' weary winters wind and rain
With joy, with rapture, would toll
And nightly TO my bosom strain
The bonnie lass o Ballochmyle
Then pride might climb the slippry steep
Where fame and honors lofty shine +;
And thirst of gold might tempt the deep,
Or downward seek the Indian mine.
Give me the cot below the pine,
To tend the flocks or till the soil,
And every day have joys divine
With the bonnie lass o Ballochmyle.

ILLINOIS.
The Harper uigh-License Bill-Blundering
Course of the Democracy.

The Harper uigh-License Bfl1-Blundering
Course of the Democracy.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
SPRINGFIELD, Feb. pa most remarkable
state of affairs exists in the Illinois Legisla-
ture. The Harper high-license bill was set
as a special order for IL o'clock on the 10Th
inst, in the House, and ever since that
branch has been in a deadlock, and is still
held there by the Democrats, who have fill
bustered every day to prevent a vote that
would have put them on record, and
yet the high-lcense bill has not been
reached. The Democratic leaders decla it
shall never be reached. The House has been
so carefully canvassed that the fate of the
bill is pretty well known now. 1t will pass
if it can be got up when the Republicans are
all present. If it comes to vote when two
or three Republicans are absent it will fail.
Once passed the House, ii is as certain to
pass the Senate as any bill well can be.
The Democratic logic on the proposition
is something most remarkable, not to say
laugbable. The very men who have
for more than week obstructed
all legislative business, with the most stub
born determination that no record shall be
made directly on this question, assert in the
roundest terms that if the Republi-
cans pass the bill the Democrats will
easily carry the State in consequence OF it,
and yet, true to the ordinary instinct of
Democrats for stupid laundering. they are
obstinately standing in the way of the very
action which, if their logic is worth a cent,
would put them in possession of the State
government at the next general election.
Two bills are pending for relief to the suf-
fering people of the State, those by the mine
disaster at Bradwood and those by the over
flow at Shawneetovn and elsewhere on the
Ohio river; but even the cry of humanity in
want cannot quiet the cry of the Illinois
Democracy for cheap, free weisky. They
have twice filibustered and left the House
without a quorum on a plain motion 10 sus
pend the rules and take up these bills for
action.
Haines, of Lake county, the indie
pendent party VINO has been leading the
Democracy in this shameless course.
when asked what apology could be offered
for trifling with the business of the Legsla-
ture and leaving the suffering to wait in
want, replied: 1--WE don't expect to offer any
apology. We take the responsibility, and if
you will abandon your sumptuary legisia-
ton you can have the relief bills passed at
any hour" 1t can be stated as an absolute
certainty that the Republicans will stand
upon the ground they have chosen, and will
use up the entire session, if necessary, to put
through these measures, both of which
could have been passed in half the
time already consumed in filihusterng. Mr..
Morrison, of Morgan, the Republican leader,
has said that while there is much work that
ought to be accomplished, he does not think
it would be bad record, made against such
obstruction. to pass the appropriations, con-
firm the Governors appointments, enact
these two measures and adjourn.
