trally fail TO give out sufficient heat
to sustain life ON our planet. But an

CLAVERING'S INTRODUCTION
TO BURNS.

1t was about the year 1895 that L
made tour to Scotland, with the
sole hope of seeing Burns. l was sue
cessful. On my arrival at Edinburg,
where I had some literary acquaint-
ance, | obtained a letter of intro
duction to him. I had always been
a great admirer of his genius, and Of
many traits in his character; and l
was aware that he was a person
moody, and somewhat difficult to deal
with. was resolved to keep in full
consideration the irritability of his
position in society. About a mile
from his residence, on bench, under
tree, / passed figure, which, from
the engraved portraits of him, I did
not doubt was the poet; but I did
not venture to address him. On ar
irving at his humble cottage, Mrs

LOVE SEEKS AN OBJECT.

Regarded as sentiment, love is
possible in respect to principles, but,
regarded as a passion, it is possible
only touching person. No one dies
for abstract truth. Idealize it, con-
meet it with something tangible, and
man will die for it-not before. Even
then his self-sacrifce is impelled By
regard, necessity, or the force of col
lateral circumstances. A patriot does
not lay down his life for liberty III
the front rank Of battle with the same
feeling which fills the bosom Of d
frontiersman when he dies fighting at
the door of his cabin In a heroic at
tempt to defend his wife and children
from murderous savages. We admire
beauty; we revere virtue; we praise
modesty as elements of a character,
but never until these are embodied; ;
until the eyes behold them in physi-
cal form; never until the woman who,
we believe, represents these qualities,
stands before us, do we love them.
The qualities we admire, the woman
we love. Here, at this point, you
see how love educates one in worthy
directions. The man loves the wo-
man, the woman the man, and each
the qualities that the other repre-
sents. Each educates the other into
a finer appreciation, truer regard,
a higher emulation of the virtues
each embodies, and thus, as Tennyson
sings:
"They grew together,
Dwarfed or Godlike, bond or Free"

help observing the curious glance
with which he watched me, at the

filed our glasses. "Here's health

ally met his. He shook my hand
with warmth, and we were friends at

MANY EAAALll1E ~.
In February, LOO, Colonel George
Washington, accompanied by two
aldes-de-camp, left his residence at
Mount Vernon, on horseback on a
Journey to Boston, TO confer with
General Shirley concerning some mill
tary matters. On reaching New York,
he called at the house of Beverly
Robinson, an old army friend, VINO
had served with him under Braddock;
Colonel Robinson wishing to make the
visit pleasant to his guest, invited
a few friends to add to the social
attractions OF his home. Among those
invited was Mary Phillips, sister
OF Mrs. Robinson. She was about
eighteen years Of age, bewitchingly
beautiful; with a form Of rare grace
and perfection, brilliant accomplish
ments, and lively and vivacious dispo-
sltlon. She was likewise an heiress.
The young Vnginian Colonel, fresh
from the rural society of Mount Yer
non, and the tolls OF the backwoods
campaign, was immediately charmed
by this vision of loyeliness and gay
ETY.. Turning away from every other
attraction, he spent much OF his time
IN her society; and the walks, talks,
and rides In which they INDUCED,
brought upon them the raillery Of his
associates. In this way the few days
that Washington intended to remain
passed, but still he fingered, chained
by the magic spell Of the fair charm
er. 1t was the first time in the his
tory OF his mature life that the sly
Cupid had hurled his dart at the
young Colonel, and the arrow had
sunk deep into his heart. Days went
by almost unnoticed, until a week had
been wasted in these enjoyments, and
the infatuated man was forced to
tear himself away and proceed to
Boston. They parted with an en-
gagement on his return, and it. is
hardly necessary to say that he was
true to the promise. Nearly another
week was now passed under the hos
pitable roof of his old friend, and
the society of his charming relative.
But the urgency of military engage
ments forced his return to Virginia,
and George Washington and Mary
Phillips parted with mutual regrets,
to meet no more for nearly a quarter
OF century, when one was the great
leader OF the patriot armies, and the
other the. wife of colonel fighting his
own countrymen in the service of the
king.

for the Hill we halted and dropped
down by the roadside store to rest.
While resting, troop Of horsemen
passed going to the front. Riding at
the head of the troopers were Presi-
dent Davis and General Lee, the Sec
retary of war and General Long
street, then several major generals
with their cavalry escorts bringing up
the rear. There was not so much as
a whisper among the soldiers, every
one seemed intent on hearing what
they were talking about. Every eye
was On General Lee, and we'll they
might, for he had the grandest and
most commanding appearance of any
one have ever seen, and was the
the most graceful rider I ever saw
mounted upon a horse. He must

his eyes were black and as piercing

ed on Traveller, his famous battle
horse, who shared with his famous
rider the love and admiration of the
soldiers. He was very dark iron
gray, tall and well proportioned, with
beautiful head and neck, stepping
as though ne disdained the ground
he walked on. But | am getting as
far from my subject as the straggler
told the captain he was from his
command. One day while the army
was on the march, a chaplain of some
regiment overlook a soldier strag-
Cling on the road, and said to him:
"My friend, what command do you
belong to?"
General Blank s." replied the
straggler "What command do you
belong to?"
"To the army of the Lord re-
piled the chaplain.
"Well, my friend" replied the
straggler, "you are a d long
ways from your command. !"

the 18th of September, 1862, was said

$4,000 men, about equally divided.
The Confederates lost 12,500, with
5000 lying helpless on that bloody
