On one occasion, toward night,
his wife observed him to be moro
than usually sad. After wander
ing aimlessly from room to room,
he betook himself to the barn.
His wife, seeing that frost had set
in, and fearing that he might catch
more cold, his health being then
in Il very precarious condition, fol-
lowed and entreated him to return
with her indoors. He promised
to comply with her request in a
few minutes, and she left him and
returned to her work. Half an
hour elapsed, however, and still
he had not returned. Becoming
alarmed she again went out to the
barn, where she found him stretch
ed on a pile of straw, gazing IN
tently on star which was then
twink!ing very brightly in the
heavens. This time her pleading
prevailed, and he arose and fol-
lowed her. But the soul of Burns
had gone out to the star-imagina-
ton had been given full sway, ard
his heart was 90 full of emotion
that he went straight to his desk
where he committed to paper the
verses "To Mary in Heaven" a

ing else, would have made his

dent that gave to the world one of

WHISKY TAX

Some two years since Senator
Logan proposed in Congress, thro'
a carefully prepared bill, thai the
tax on whisky, which scales high
up among the millions, should be
divided between the states per
capita and devoted to the school
funds of the several states. Blaine
proposes that SAID tax be distribut-
ed among the several States and
covered into the treasury of each.
He says the amount. yielded by
the tax on spurious and malt liq-
uors last year WAS something over
$S6, 900, 900, and on the basis of
the census this would yield each
State and Territory about $1.75
for each inhabitant. New Mexico's
share he puts down at t208, 600.
While we have no special objec-
ton to either proposition, still we
incline with more favor to Ben
Buffers plan, which is that the
Federal Government relinquish all
claims to said tax and give the sew
eral states authority to levy such
tax on whiskey and beer as they
see proper, and appropriate the
reyenue derived therefrom.
From a common sense stand
point Ben's idea would be approx
ed, but it will be strenuously op-
posed for varied reasons. First the
free-trader's will antagonize it,
they being hostile to tariff of any
kind. Then the temperance peO-
pie will den ounce the proposition
for the alleged reason, that il
would recognize whisky as legiti
mate article Of commerce. Com
m ercially speaking whisky is class
ed as luxury, whereas the OK
tremists denominate it as a poison
to be taxed even more thai
strychnine, arsenic, or other ac
knowlcdged poison, SO that we ap
prehend that between the opposing
forces naught but acrimonious
discussion will ensue from Logan's
Blaine's or Buffers propositions
hence neither producer or con sum
cr need worry.

THE MORM0N QUESTION

OF course our readers could not
expect us to publish President Ar
thurs last message IN erteas0, as #
would consume nearly all of our
space. 1t was an exceptionally
strong document, worthy the man
and age. But we feel constrained
to publish the following excerpt
therefrom touching the status OF
the Mormon question as it relates
to the United States. The treat
ment suggested by the President
in the handling OF the ieprous sub
iect, is heroic, and if adopted by
Congress will crush out the bar
barrie custom :
The Utah commission has sub
mitted to the Secretary OF the In
terror its second annual report,
which is report of its labors in
supervising the recent election III
that Teraitory, pursuant to the act
Of March, 22d, 1882 1t appears
that the persons by that act DIS
qualified to the number Of about
$1,000, were excluded from the
polls. This fact, however affords
little cause for congratulation, and
| fear it is far from indicating any
real and substantial progress to-
ward the extirpation of polygamy.
All of the members Of the legisla-
ture are Mormons, and there is
grave reason to believe they are
in symeathy with the practices
that this government is seeking to
suppress, and that its effort in that
regard is more likely to encounter
Jheir opposition than receive their
encouragement and support. Even
il this view should happily be erro.

Utah commissioners have been
acting should be made more effect

such stringent measures as were

lygamy has become so strong
in the Territory Of Utah that it is

the stoutest weapons which consti-
tutional legislation can fashion. /

upon which the existing govern

The birds sang love on every spray.

Proclaimed the speed of winged day.

What touching event iu the
life Of Scotland's greatest poet
does the above little poem present
to each and all of his admirers.
More than once were the feelings
of Burns enraptured with the
charms and virtues OF some one of
Ewes fair daughters. but none of
them ever engraved their memory
on his heart as did the pure, hon
est love Of Mary Campbell-High-
land Mary
For dear TO me as life and light
Was my sweet Highland Mary"
They were engaged to each 9th
er about the time Burns contem-
plated going to the West Indies.
Mary had given up her situation
as nursery maid and proceeded to
arrange for a hasty journey to some
part of the western Highlands,
where her parents resided, with a
view, it is said, Of informing them
OF her intended change in life.
Their marriage WAS to be immedi-
ately solemnized on her return.
On the Sunday previous to her de-
parture she met her lover by APP
pointment to have farewell walk.
They wandered along the bank oi
the river Ayr until they came to a
small stream or brook that crossed
their path, and here in compliance
with an old Scottish tradition in re
lation to the parting of two lovers,
they performed a curious ceremo
ny. Standing one on each side O
the brook, they bathed their hands
in its clear cool water, then hold
ing a small bible between them
they pronounced their solemn
VOWS in the presence Of heaven t.
be faithful to each other. Tha
same afternoon they parted neve
to meet again, for poor Mary
