I,0uis RanuhIioan

Last Thursday, at Ayr, Scotland,
there was a sale Of relics more or less
associated with the memory of Robert
Burns. Two common chairs. supposed
to have been used by the originals Of
his well known characters, Tam
0'Shanter and Souter Johnnie, sold for
$685. each; a wooden silver-hooped cup,
from which he may have quaffed "the
guild Scotch brew" brought $285,
and an autograph letter, $780,
in all $3.50, for what was really
worth not more than $40. The
extra amount Of $3.50 was, Of course,
due to the fame Of the poet. It seems.
a pity that some of this profitable post
mortem renown did not appear while
Burns was living; for his last days
were embittered by the pangs of hope
less poverty, and he was actually
dunned on his death-bed for a debt Of
81. Now, a few lines Of his writing
are sold for that sum. The man who
has immortalized Scotland in immor-
talizing himself was indebted to
the charity Of friends for ahe
neceSsaries for the sick room, and 1or
the coffin in which he was buried. If'
in the undiscovered country to which
Burns has gone, he is cognizant OF the
honoTs now heaped upon his name, he
may feel repaid for his ~sufferings and
humiliation Of his earthly pilgrimage.
II the echo Of these honors have not
reached him there, it would have been
better for him personally had be lived
and died an ignorant and obscure Ayr
shire peasant, instead Of a heaven
born poet and the worlds sweetest
| song-writer.

A Georgia Quilting.

A quilting was organized at the house
of a very bashful young man by the
young ladies of this settlement, with a
view Of getting him into society. The day
being arranged and everything in readi-

fun. The young man thought, to evade
the crowd, he would 90 to the back side
of the plantation to work, and he took
himself thither and commenced opera
tons in a secluded spot. He had not
been there long before he encountered
a huge coach-whip snake which made
fight. The young man fought bravely,
but his snakeship got the better of it,
and the young man had to hit the grit
lively. He started homeward and the
snake after him. As he moved he
looked back over his shoulder OCCASION
ally, but his snakeship was there. He
opened his throttle and got up railroad
speed, and at last reached the yard
fence exhausted. He fell into the yard,
when one of the girls rescued him and
killed the snake. The snake had struck
at him and fastened its fangs into his
coat so it could not get it loose until he
reached home.-Moral: Young man,

Sleeves have undergone no change

however, they are madein several ways.
There is the mere strap, formed of the
ruching, or band of flowers, which
trims the neck of the Grecian bodice
and which requires an arm of marble
to do it justice; then there is the
tchu sleeve, which looks like Il tiny
handkerchief pulled over the shoulders
and fastened at each side of the arm
hole at the top of the bodice. This
sleeve is intended to match the chem
isette or tucker under the dress bodice.
A third sleeve is half sleeve of white or
black lace, according to the color of the
dress. This sleeve forms two vandykes,
which are buttoned together over the
arm, thus covering only the under part
of the arm. tits most becoming. Then
comes the armlet sleeve. which has the
usual shoulder-strap and second band
midway between the shoulder and
elbow. And, finally, there is the epau-
lette sleeve, with the epaulette made of
bows of ribbon, or lace, or fringe.

The girl left behind me
Was pretty and all that;
Bright golden ringlets glistened
Beneath her airy hat.
She had dainty figure,
Her hands were small and white,
Her mouth was like a rosebud,
Her eyes were warm and bright.
Her way was light and graceful
She was Il rOguish elf
A sweet bewitching fairy,
And well supplied with pelf.
She sang like any wild bird,
She danced with wondrous art,
And looked just like an angel
In her red yillage-cart.

We took little stroll,
And sat beneath the hemlock
Upon the lonely knoll.
