MARY AND JEAN.

How oft at dusk did Burns along
 The banks of Ayr appear, A melancholy child of song, Musing amid a mournful throng
 Of recollections dear? The kindly after years had healed The wound within his breast. Fair Jeans devoted love revealed That happiness which death concealed When Mary went to rest. He fondly scanned his bairns at play About the cottage door, Toiled stoutly onward day by day, Obedient to honor's sway,
 Which bound him evermore. And yet mayhap in some lone place Where Ayr's clear waters roll His dreams at eve recalled the grace Of sainted Highland Mary's face
 The mistress of his soul. He loved, and who that loves today Shall grudge the pensive hour When, clad in sorrows mantle gray, He paused beside Ayr's quiet way
 To woo oblivion's powerP What dreams were his of pleasures deep That he might never knowl Perhaps, though years his secret keep, Thinking of her who fell asleep,
 He deemed twas better so. Frank Putnam in Chicago Times Herald.

entertainment. although sometimes the old SOL
dior found causes Of irritation In the manner
in which NJ Mollard fulfilled his duties as mas
ter Of ceremonies at the Eys1e. Thus wheh
cld Archduke Albert. the generassimo OF the
Austrian Army. visited Paris at the time of the
international exhibition in 1875. a most awk-
ward coutretenps occurred, for which the Mar
sbal held NJ Molard solely responsible.
