BOBBY BURNS.


The O@xMese and Most Cr1ttc11 Lays IN k9@
Lafs Of the Poet.
As it Is always darkest before the
dawn, the year which was the most
critical In Burns life and which was
destined to give birth to his better
fortune opened with peculiar and
unmitigated dreariness. Tho Kill
marnock edition of 1885 appeared
while the poet was ''skulking from
covert to covert to avoid the Jail
with which Jean Armour's father
threatened him; its raison d'etre
was the earning Of sufficient money
to pay his passage to Jamaica. Hav.
ing "pocketed, all expenses deduct
ed, nearly GEO." Burns took final
farewell of his friends. He says:
my chest was on my way 70
Greenock when q letter from DR..
Blackjack (of Edinburgh to friend
of mine overthrow all my schemes
by opening up new prospects to my
poetic ambition.
His fame was, in fact. spreading
rapidly. Farm laborers and servant
girls expended their hardly earned
wages on the purchase of his poems,
and the name Of the Ayrshire
Plowman" began to be noised among
members of Weather and more Gull
tivated circles. The first person to
extend to him the right hand of fel.
lowship was Dugald Stewart; the
second was Mrs. Dunlop. Their
friendship came with all the charm
of anovelty which is yet not strange,
but supplies a long felt though in.
definable need, while, in the latter
case. Burns proud and independent
spirit was gratified by the knowl-
edge that the obligation was not all
on his side, but that Mrs. Dunlop
and her friends had reason TO be in
debted to his poets spells.
After two winters spent in Edin.
burgh, which seem to have given
the poet more disappointment and
disgust than qualification, Burns
married Ibis Jean" and settled at
Ellisland, an upland farm ON the
Dalswinton estate, six miles from
Dumfries. To this Ellisland period
that is, from 1888 to 1791--most of
the unpublished letters to Mrs. Dun
lop belong. They are chiefly inter-
esting as indicating Burns real
views on his excise post and his dis
taste to farming. There were bad
times in the eighteenth as in the
nineteenth century, and in q letter
of March 25, 1889, we hear Burns
raising the farmers customary CON-
plant:
Madam, ] had two plans of life
before me-the excise and farming.
thought by the glimmering of my
own prudence the excise was my
most eligible scheme, but all my
great friends, and particularly you,
were decidedly, and therefore decid-
ed me, for farming. My master,
Mr.. Miller, out of o real though
mistaken benevolence, sought me
industriously out to set me in this
farm, as he said, to give me a lease
which would make me comfortable
and easy. I was stranger to the
country, the farm, the soil, and SO
ventured on bargain that. instead
of being comfortable, is and will be
a very hard bargain, if at all prao-
ticable. l am sorry to tell you this,
madam, but it is a damning truth. "

From South Noxubee.

DEAR BEACON In rambling amoug
friends in the southern portion of Noxu-
bee last week, we CHANGED to hear of
friends in whom doubtless some of your
readers have an interest, should you
kindly allow us space to give few dots.
First, on last Sabbath quite congre-
CATION assembled at Macedonia to hear
the much beloved divine, Rev. B. F.
Phillips, of Shuqualak His discourse
from Proverbs was eloquent and impress
sive.
The deepest and most heartfelt sym
pathy we found to be with Mr.. James
Woodfn in his continued illness. We
pray that God in his mercy and wisdom
may sec fit to spare him for years to
come, that he may be the continued
light and comfort of his home and
friends.
Mr.. Thos. J, Woodfn and family Of
Crawford, made a flying visit to see his
sick brother recently. Tom, as he is
Familiarity called, is a son that Noxubee
is proud to acknowledge.
l notice that Mr. Sam Land of Binn-
vile is frequent visitor to these parts.
Romor says that he, as well as Mr.
'Hairston, is being attracted by lovely
pair of soft brown eyes.
/ understand that the lovely and
much admired Misses L. and L. Thorn,
as, with a number of young lady friends,
were to take in the Sam Jones lecture in
Memphis, the Goth inst. We can only
say "bon voyage" happy girls.
Happening to run up on "old Pat ;
whom "Bon Ami is so much in sym
pathy with, we were really surprised to
see mule fully able to ''toat'' three
or four at the time, like her master.
Think if Bon Ami will be more consid-
crate she II not waste any more sympa-
thy on Patty; besides Pat doesn go to
Macedonia by several miles.
Vacation has come and with it has
come Mr.. W. Fl. Floore, and others
whom we won mention for fear of in
timidating some one.
Mr. Prince Bethany returns soon to
completh his school. II rumor is cor
rect one heart will be made happy by
his presence.
Capt. Thomas has contracted to com
plete his house during the summer.

quite neat, coy home for his chill

For fear we may trespass too long
upon the generosity Of the editor, we
will say adieu, but not without wills
pering that Wen come again, provided
the editor will allow us.
