A PREA CHER on THE POET BURNS.

The Rev. Robert COllyer spoke last night on
Robert Burns He said: There something In the
people with whom Robert Burns coinmuned that was
sparkling. You remember the story OF the Englshman
who was bcwildered about the climate there that he
said to a Scotch shepherd Is IT always raining sir, In
Scotland No. SIR said the other, 1t SHOWS now and
again The tbistles upon poor Burnss grave were the
sole distinction marking the last resting place OF That
great man. until his widow erected hum
bic and unpretentous tombstone over 1t. Few poets
alive or dead beset with such sore troubles.
He died when no drunk, but not from drink, but
from cold caught while i'll these circumstances; and
so it was thought suppose better TO let Hun sleep Ia
obscurity as far as any outward work concerned.
But there something about Burns that could not be
buried, than you bury the sun that shines
or the tunefnl melody OF the birds which shall
presently dart control and away through the
heavens lie entered into the lives OF those around him
and pictures which Shakespeare never painted

that his stocks are of no value, whereas they

fact is that Edison is what most people

Pecu1iarities of the Pennies.

The first coin ever issued in this country
was the old fashioned cart wheel cent. The
first issue was in 1898, and there were three
dies made. With the single exception of
the year 1915, there has been no break in
the issue of cents from that time to the
present 1t was in 1895 that the Liberty
cap was changed to the fllet head, and
these were issued regularly for thirteen
years, when the Goddess of Liberty ap-
peared on the coin, with thirteen stars sur
rounding it. A cent of the issue of 1899, IN
good condition is worth $40 or $50.

A remarkable Glass of Thieves.


The police of St Petersburg have been for
.ome time puzzled by the conduct of a re-
1narkable class of thieves, who committed
robbery not only in the open day, but,
moreover with ostentation They were
Firms. and were all young men, When ar
rested, they calmly pleaded guilty, and
were sentenced for terms varying from one
to three months. At the expiration of the
sentence they promptly disappeared. 1t
turned out that they had returned to their
own country, and had there resumed their
several ayocations without loss of social
position. The law in Finland forbids the
enrolment in the army of any persons who
have undergone imprisonment for civil
offenses, so these enterprising Firms had de-
Iiberately sought imprisonment in order to
avoid CONSUMPTION.

A Good Angel.

lNorristown Herald
In poem called "The Organist," we are
informed that "He sits him down at twilight
hour, Before the ivory keys, And lets his
fingers wander DER, The clavier as they
please. Though dark and still the
empty church, An angel fits o'erhead,
And, passing near with dropping wings, He
leaves the player-dead" That angel should
not weary in his good work. Sometimes
when man is clawing the ivory keys the
neighbors want to hurl brick at him, but
they would be satisfied if an angel would
hover over him and leave him dead. The
angel should also hover over the amateur
flute player, the cornetist, the accordion
fiend, and other musical aggravations.
