A Daughter of Burns.
,Om the Pail Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette
1t will surprise many and may in.
terest a few OF your readers to learn
there died at Moffat on the 18th of
last month veritable though iIlegiti.
mate daughter OF the poet Burns. The
old lady in question, Helen Armstrong
by name, who was 81 Or 90 years OF
age, resided for many years in Moffat
In the same little back street in which
she was born somewhere about the
year 1888. The fact OF her relation.
ship to Burns was we'll known in Moi
fat and theneighborhood. Her moth
er, Nelly Hysloy, was a beauty in her
day, and Burns was for some time a
devoted adn.irer of hers. Helen is
said to have borne strong resem-
blance to Burns in her earlier DAYS,
and indeed the likeness to the portrait
OF Burns was traceable to the last in
the contour OF the face and IN the
dark bright eyes, dimmed as they
were by age and sickness. Nor Was the
likeness confined to physical points,
IN her mental powers Helen showed
strain OF the political blood. A few
years ago her conversational powers
and her quickness of repartee were
most amusing and attractive. Even
a few months since, when we'll enough
to talk. her conversation was highly
interesting. Helen's life, as far as /
can learn, was not a very eventful
one. She went to service at very
early age-7, l think. She belonged to
that genus OF Scotch servants, still ex-
tant though rather rare, who remain
years in one ''place" and identify
their employers interests with their
own. She was thirty years in one sit
uatlon at toe Buccleuch Arms Inn, at
Ihornhllis with family named Glen.

A Venerable Church.

An I'll Paso, Tex, paper says OF the
the old Mexican town across the Ric
Grande:
In Paso del Nortc there is cathe.
dral 325 years old, built by Spanish
Jesuits. It is not that the general
plan is elaborate; on the contrary it
is one OF beautiful appropriateness
and simplicity in this respect
a lesson to the moderns. The walls
are OF adobe, plain and straight; and
neither the walls nor the massive tim.
bers are any the worse for their three
centuries OF wear. But the heavy wood.
work every where is beautifully carved.
In the cathedral are records OF great
historic value, reaching back hundreds
OF years. Some of the decorations
and religious emblems are presents
from the monarchs of spain. The old
church is well worth a visit from any
tourist, particularly the student oil
art and history. But to tourist
who has never seen a Mexican town
it is not the only object of interest by
any means. There are the quaint
streets OF ancient adobe houses, with
dark-eyed senoritas peeping from the
windows-when there are any-o1
through the cracks of the doors. Some
OF the senoritas are very handsome,
and not averse to q little harmless

The town of Paso del Norte has pop.

A Young Dakota Belle in her
Marriage Robe Of Plain Pink
Calico.

A tourist in Dakota recently attend
ed an Indian wedding, and describes it
in a letter to the Boston Traveller.
He says that there was a large tent,
with the front opened, and a row OF
stakes covered with canvass, making
q fense upon each side leading to it.
Outside was quite a small tent trim
med with all kinds Of pretty feathers,
and over the door a wildcats skin
trimmed with beads and porcupine
quilts. In the large tent, back in the
centre, against very gay curtain, sat
a young girl, half. breed, not
more than fifteen years old, dressed
in a skirt and jacket with bright but
tons and boar's teeth, her hair long
and black and falling in front, while a
wreath Of feathers on her head COM
pleted her wedding outfit. All around
were ornaments, and yards OF pink,
red and yellow calico as drapery, and
on a little green trunk near the bride
sat the old chief wrapped in buffalo
robe, looking like great bear.
Along on one side of the tent SAT the
women and girls, and upon the other
side the men, young and old. They
were all painted frightfully and wore
dreadful ornaments: bright blankets
and feathers, and most Of the men
had on but little clothing. Near the
middle Of this group were piled the
provisions, the feast. meat, bread and
boiled corn.
The ceremonies began with the ole
chief drumming upon drum and
making a shout and noise like an ami.
NAL. He then rose and walked around
the girl several times, got on his knees,
and again walked around her. knocked
her from side to side, then smoothed
her hair, gave her something that he
| called medicine, then took a dish and
placed it before her, knelt down and
took sip Of what was in it, as she
| did also. He then stood up, went
through with some mumblings over
her head, and then began to pass the
feast, first to the women and then to
| the men,
The girl took off her gay outside
robe, and it was given to her mother.
Underneath she had short blue dress,
winch was taken Off, and when the
eating was concluded the poor little
girl slipped out Of the tent in a little
plain pink calico dress, and, with bare
feet and legs, looking frightened and
cold, went to her own tent all alone.
Then they were ready for the dance.

back to service, her husband boarding
with her.
BUTT was sad day when thegoods
were packed, the house dismantled,
and they handed over the key to the
new occupant. 1t was bitter lesson,
but best learned on the very threshold
OF household life.
Again they sit down to count the
cost; Mack's wages $3.50, Paulina,s
wages 5000, rent from house 5000
Total, $3.50. They had $50 in inter
est TO pay; $500 on debt, and then
incidentals were 5000, so that they
saved $500 that year. The fourth
year Of their married life Mack became
second overseer at the mill with $50 a
month, and by the strictest economy,
as they had no board to pay, they
saved 5000.
They entered upon their fifth year
with new couraee-their redemption
drew nigh. When it closed the mort
gage was lifted and they had something
saved to commence housekeeping once
more. They found the house had been
we'll used; they had learned their lesson.
1t was not half as bitter as it would
have been if Paulina's kind mistress
had not come to the rescue. They I'M
packed their furnishings with grateful
hearts, once more set burning the fire
upon their hearth, and upon that
fire they placed with grave cere-
mony the little blue book. AS its
leaves curled and blackened and turn
ed to ashes. the figures staring at them
with ghostly visage for a moment from
their funeral pyre, the mischevious
imp departed from their home and
they were saved.
cove no man anything" is the wise
caution OF a very old book; it should
be the gospel of the secular life. The
pass-books bring misery; they are the
occasion OF the skeleton that rattles
in many a closet; they tempt us to
spend our money before wegit it; they
lead to extravaganza; they are an un-

.eWhat worship ye?" the preacher said;
The rest did not hear,
But round the room looked instead,
AT this and that SO reverent head,
All saint-like and austere.
what do you worship now?" thoughts
And fancy straight the question caught,
And strange sights did appear.
All wells were dropped, and clear to view
ALI hearts were open thrown;
"A shame it were to whisper you
What then saw; if all were true
Twere better all unknown;
Such he rts none ever saw before,
But all at once l looked no more
Is, Isaw my own!
