Burns sensibility.

An anecdote of the poet who made
Scotland famous in song suggests how
largely the poetic temperament is made
up of imagination and sensibility. Rob
ert Burns, being on visit to Edinburg.
was invited to the house of DR.. Fergu-
son, where he met the most brilliant
literary society of the city. At first
Burns seemed little inclined to mingle
with the other guests. He walked about
the room, looking at the pictures on the
wa1Isf Suddenly his attention was ar
rested by print representing a sol
dier lying dead on the snow. his dog
sitting in misery on one side-on the
other his mourning widow with a child
in her arms. Underneath were these
lines:
"Cold on Canadian hills. or Minden plain,
| Perhaps that parent wept her soldier slain
The big drops mingling with the milk he
drew;
Gave the sad presage Of his future years.
The child Of misery baptized in ears"
The poet began reading aloud the
lines. but. before getting to the end his
voice faltered, and his big black eyes
filed with tears. His imagination made
the scene SO real to him that his quick
sympathy was excited. Turning to the
company, and pointing to the picture,
he asked:
"Can any one tell me who wrote those
| lines?"
For a minute or two no one answer
ed; then a pale. lame boy, the friend oi
the son Of the host, said. in negligent
manner: They're written by one
Langhorne."
To another question the boy replied
that they would be found in a poem
entitled The Country Justice. THANK
you" said Burns. looking at the boy
earnestly. You'll be man yet, sir. ,
The boy was young Walter Scott
then unknown to fame.-LfferdTy Life

A Reply to Fabius.

Mr. EDITOR: / see in your paper of
October 18th, a communication from
Fabius in which he uses the following
language: The position Of the prohibi-
zionist il, that as some men drink too
much, and thus abuse the privilege of a
freeman 70 exercise his own option as to
what he eats or drinks. We might
apply i TO tobacco and coffee as we'll as
whisky, that all men shall be deprived
Of that privilege, so as to put it out Of
the power Of the offender to do wrong.
Why not apply the same principle to
guBpowder in your crusade against
whiskyw ! will say in reply to Fabius
that it is the duty Of the government to
protect the lives of its citizens in everv
way that it can, and if it can't protect
them from drunken debauehes in no
other way than by depriying its citizens
of the privilege of drinking spirituous
liquors, it is certainly its duty to de-
prive them Of that privilege. Certainly
the lives cf its citizens are of more con-
sequence .han the mere privilege of
drinking spirituOus liquors; but he says
Why not apply the same reasoning to
toisacce, coffee aud gunpowder? Well,
4 VIII XII -Af. 4 dDAuc Nnl. AOD1CCD
and coffee dc not deprive man of his
reason and cause him to commit crime,
for which he may be sent to the peniten-
tiarv or the gallows, and whisky does ;;
and it does more than that: it gives him
delirium tremens, and very often runs
MIN crazy so he has to be put in an in
sane asylum. So far as gunpowder is
concerned, in this argument-it doesn' t
cause a man to commit crime, but is
the means by which he commits the
crime. Whisky is the cause of the
crime being committed in many in
stances.
Mr.. Editor, wish to ask some of the
advocates of whisky if they would be
willing to sign a petition to open an
opium den? If not, why not, as they sign
a petition to retail whisky, and l can't
see the difference between it and an
opium den. A whisky den is opened as
a place of pleasure, and certainly opium
has as pieasurable a sensation on the
mind as whisky, and its effects are not
as bad as those of whisky. Whisky
makes you boisterous, and if you get
entirely too much it throws you into
the ditch. Opium Supplies you, and as
a consequence you trouble nobody,
which cannot be said of whisky Come
up, you advocates of whisky, and answer
this question: are you in favor of open.
| ing opium dens? Yours truly,
A FREETHIEKER.

white hands. and the tools that made
them, to Saratoga. She had q trunk
half filed with these manicure utensils,
together with q great lot of mixtures in
pots and bottles. She had been an
acute sufferer from the mania for beau
tifying the hands, you comprehend, and
these were the consequences, as ar
ranged on the bureau in her hotel
room: A pot of powder for polishing
the nails, bottle of liquid for bleach
inc them, a file for trimming them, an
emery board for beveling them, and 4
salve for tinting them pink; 4 pot Of
cream for softening the hands, 4 spe-
eial cake for washing them, and pair
of scissors for cutting off hang-nails.
Imagine the sort of array these things
made. They made the room look like
the Office of physician and surgeon.
She had call from the landlord the
very afternoon that she arrived. He
