McLeod site had taken the bine stocking
from its hidinir place and. emptied its pre
vious contents into the young lady's lap.
"I want my little bairn to hare plenty gear
like her ain mither would hae her. Babette's
naething mair than a gowan o' the field,
Miss Mcliood; as innocent a lassie as one
conld find. Bee to it that in the gran' city
she keeps near to the Laird of all, ana does
an' forget Him."
Beserved Jeanie -was stirred to the heart
in letting Babette go. Hiss McLebd be
came strangely sober at Jeanie's words and
solemn manner. For the first time she felt
that some responsibility rested with her, in
the step she was abont to take. And Babette,
who knew absolutely nothing of money mat
ters, and had been bronght np to believe
that the blue stocking was an Eldorado mine,
never-iailing, was satisfied to leave all her
expenses in Miss McLeod's experienced
hands. At times the eirl was possessed by
a loncing for quiet, for a long sail in her
little boat, for the old li e. But the present
was very delight ul and fascinating, even if
it did not give her any leisnre for thought.
She had dreams, too, of some day being
clever enoneh to earn money for the dear
old folks at home.
Two years passed so very quickly. Ba
bette had been home but twice, and Miss
McLeod and ber iriends had so many plans
for that she could not stay long, "unless
yon need me," she said to Jeanie, who dis
claimed at that, and bade her darling go
bacc to the world she was born for.
Bnt one morning Hiss McLeod was
stertled at the girl's appearance at the
breakfast table. She was pale, and her eyes
showed want of sleep.
"I must go home," she announced
abruptly. "I am a selfish, thoughtless girL
I saw my mother so plainly last night, and
she was sick and longing for me. Dear Miss
Jean, don't think that I am not grateful to
you for all this beautiul time; bet oh, do
not keep mel I must go back."
And Miss McLeod, when she found that
all remonstrance was useless, helped her
Sack her trunks, and with a sinking at the
earl for she was very iond of the girl
saw her on board the train.
Old Malcolm was just home from a fishing
haul, when a knock was heard at the door.
Before he conld open it, a young girl had
crossed the threshold and had her arms
about his neck.
"How is mother? Oh, is she sick?"
Babette asked in a trembling voice.
"Jeanie has taken to her bed, Babette. I
tell her she's frettin for you. hut she won't
let me write. Eh, but it's good to have yon
home again. Bnt Babette was already in
the spotless little bedroom she knew so
well. There, for the first time in her remem
brance, the girl saw old Jeanie in bed in the
daytime. She was so white, and then It
startiea ner.
"Oh mother, forgive me. I've been suoh
a careless girl. I've come back to make you
well." Babette sank on her knees by the
little bed, and took Jeanie's rough, toil
worn hand in hers. .
"Thank the Laird, ye're hame again be
fore I'm awa," Jeanie said, ferventlv.
But to Babette's relief, old Jeanie grew
better instead of worse, and in a few weeks
was abont again, but far more feeble than
before. She and Malcolm had reached a
good old age. Babette had not fully real
ised the fact oa account of theirrugged health
and unusual activity.
If little has been said of Kenneth McLeod,
it has not been because there is little to say.
His profession was his world his every
thing. Nothing was too great a sacrifice for
his beloved art. His great desire was to go
abroad. He and his sister were orphans,
and until Jean had been left a fortune bv the
aunt for whom she was named, they" had
uccu jjuur. ucau iungea to tavisn every
thing on her brother; she was a gen
erous, warm-hearted girl, but he would
only arcept the pleasant home her
purse provided lor both. Proud and ambi
tious, Kenneth worked on. He had been
away when Babette left, and the news was
an unexpected shock to him. To his dis-
'MlfflntWy ff- iteJMfrtiPtrSsly
ence of the Maid of the Sea, as he called
Babette. He fought against the feeling,
sure that eventually art would win; but the
struggle waged stronger instead of weaker.
He reasoned with, he laughed at himself;
he, after all -his toil and self-denial, with
his turning desires and lofty ambition,
with his ancient lineacre of which the Mc
Leods were so proud, to run alter and ham
per himself with a poor, obscure fisher
girl! He painted vieorously, but between
him and the canvas came, with persistent
force, another picture a little, gaily painted
boat holding a girl with golden hair un
bound, ber winning, singularly pure face
looking upward.
One morning Kenneth's place at the
breakfast table was empty, and the maid
gave Miss McLeod a hastily-written note,
saying that her brother had gone off for
fresh subjects for his picture, but would be
back 60on, etc This was so common an oc
curence that Jean thought nothin? of it.
Meanwhile Babette, though the day was
cold and blustering, had gone for a brisk
walk and to gether shells and sea treasures.
A tiny girl, ruddy, .and well-protected from
the wind, was playing near her, for children
loved Babette and knew her as their friend.
"Man toinin." the child announced and-
denly, and Babette, tnrning, facing Ken
neth McLeod. Alter the first common
places, he said in an abrupt, vet strangely
moved voice: "Babette, I find that I cannot
live without you; come back and be with
me always. Be my wife, Babette."
Was ever wooing like this? The color
flashed into the girl's face, then left it so
lie that it was startling, bnt her voice was
quite steady and self-possessed. "STou for
get the dear old people who have done so
much for me Mr. McLeod; my first dutv to
them."
"Oh, they do not want von as I do.
They ought not to keep you in this dead-apd-alive
place," the man said impatiently.
Again the quiet voice spoke: "I cannot
leave them, and besides, Mr. McLeod, it
would never do for us to marry. Have I
not heard your ideas about such things? I
know you so well. Ton would, alter the
first, repent this hasty step, and the result I
could not bear, yet it would be inevitable.
2no, it would never do for us to marry."
The voice lost a little of its calm toward the
last. And then Kenneth forgot his long
habit of self-control, and poured forth re
proaches and pleadings; but all in vain.
And as he went back to Boston, sketches
and art were for once forgotten, and there
was a wild tumult of conflicting emotions
in his heart. Tet surprise was uppermost
For Kenneth had thought only of his
side of the question. Failure bad not
catered into his plans. The difficulty had
been with his own decision. He thought
that lUbette, with her frankness and sim
plicity, was a child to be coaxed into any
thing not wrong. He was mistaken, he said,
with his sore, hurt feeling; she was a cold,
heartless girl, and he remembered now, that
Jean had fainted at her rental of Cnllen
Bryde. But after all he could go on with
hjs art and forcet such a cool, deliberate
girl. He had been crazy ever to think of
anything that wonld prove a drag or inter
ference with his true mistress, and then rush
off on such a fool's errand as this had
proved! "When Babette read in Miss Jean's
letter that Kenneth had gone to Pans to
study, she said to herself: "I knew him
better than lie knew himself. He will never
care for anything except art. I must never
leave mother again; but even if I could,
I would never be Kenneth McLeod's
second love." Yet Babette's plump form
grew thinner, and she was qnieter than her
went. Her cheerfulness did not desert her,
and to the loving eyes watching her she was
all devotion.
A year passed, and old Jeanie "went
hame." So peaceful and quiet was her
going, that it was hard to realize the fact
that she was with them no longer. And
son Babette missed her in the long days
that followed! Yet never had she realized
the kindness ot the hearts about her until
this sorrow came, nor the love the simple
fisher folk felt for her. And then one day
old Malcolm died suddenly. He had tailed
rapidly sinee his wife's death, aud had told
Babette he "hoped he would not stay long
behind the auld wile waitin' lor him awa'
there."
Alter his death Babette felt terribly
lone. Even Miss McNeod was abroad with
her brother. The little home was hers, bnt
thetaeift was nearly gone in the expenses
of the funerals and doctor's bills. Babette
telt the necessity of bestirring herself from
her griei and planning for the future.
Three weeks alter old Malcolm's death, the
girl found herself as usual in her little boat
and sailing far tfway, ber oars resting, her
self unheeding, and lost in thought. Sud
denly she sat up with a start; the sky was
dark and threatening; she must row back
to shore. But how far she had gone!
She grasped her oars, vet at that
moment there was a flash of lightning
followed by a thunder clap; and then such a
torrent of rain! Babette kept firm bold ot
the oars, and fought bravely against the
blinding storm. The waves dashed high,
threatening each moment to upset the frail
boat tossed here and there. Babette still
kept her place, though she soon felt the use
le&sness of any attempt to reach shore in
such a storm. In all the confusion and
darkness her thoughts went back to that
other storm which had cast her beautilul
mother and herself on this shore. Perhaps
now she was to know that mother at last!
"Wonld she and Jeanie meet her in that far
off, mysterious land so that she would not
be afraid? How strange that the sea which
she had loved so ardently, should now prove
her death or life, which would it be? God
still ruled. Her thoughts were not very
clear, yet she was suddenly brongbt tn a
keener consciousness by a call which she
had heard above the water's roar. A great
wave dashed over her, and she was in (hat
mad, snrgir.2 sea. Again came a blinding
flash of lightning and Babette was conscious
of being clasped by human hands aud-lilted
somewhere.
"When she opened her eyes she was sur
rounded by familiar faces, anxious, kind.
"She is all right." said Pamela Lowden's
hearty voice. Babette closed her eyes
wearily. When next she opened them, only
one face bent over her Kenneth McLeod's.
"I found you in the storm, Babette. I can
not live without you. Art is cold and
dreary withont you, darling. I have for
gotten my pride and come to you again.
Ob, Babette, cannot you love me and trust
me and come to me now?" Snch a new
humility and yearning was in his voice.
Babette was keenly alive now only sur
prise was utterly lacking. She stretched
out her arms with irrepressible longing "I
have loved you so long, and I trust you now,
Kenneth," she said.
THE LOTTERY SCHEME.
THE OPPOSITION LEAGUE ISSUES AN AD
DRESS TO THE NATION.
How the Company Gained Its Power Tt
Tremendous Income and Immense Divi
dend! The Chance There Is of Drawing
n Prize.
Baton Rouge, La., August 8. The
Anti-Lottery League has issued an address
to the nation, in which, among other state
ments, appears:
We desire briefly to state to you the facts.
In 1SSS the Carpet-bag Legislature of Louisiana
at the Instigation of a syndicate ot gamblers
formed in New York in 1S63, composed of John
A. Morns, Ben C. Wood, C. K. Murray and
others, chartered the Louisiana Lottery Com
pany, with a capital of 51,000,000, giving it a
monopoly of drawing lotteries in the State for
25 years. This grant was obtained by brib
ery and corrupt means. At that time the pub
lic regarded it with horror, and the men con
nected with it were pursued with public and
private condemnation and disgrace. For ten
years it mamtainod itself against constant
egislative assault by similar corrupt means.
In 1S79 the Legislature repealed this charter,
a result accomplished by a majority of only two
votes in the Senate. This repeal was practi
cally nullified by an Injunction issuM by
.Edward C. innings. United States District
Judge for Louisiana, who neld. in the very teeth
of the decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States, rendered in the similar case of
Boyd vcrsns Alabama, that an immoral bargain,
such as this charter, was a sacredcontract, pro
and bindinc upon the police power of a sov-
ereicn State.
The market value of their stock has risen
from S35 per share, in 1(579. to S1.200 per share in
1B9Q, so that now it is more than doable that of
the whole bankinc; capital of the State. They
have built up the original capital which was
never subscribed, and have accumulated an
enormous surplus of unknown amount, while
declaring dividends of SO to 100 per cent per an
num, and that, too, out of only one-half of tne
net earnings, as the other half belongs to the
lessees, Howard and Morris.
Definite information as to their list of stock
holders, officers, profits and business affairs can
not be obtained, as they are quite studiously
concealed from the pnblic.
They receive annually $1,500,000 from the
written policies sold on the numbers of the
daily drawing, apart from the sale of the regu
lar printed tlokets. They receive annually
.wv... v-,vw,wv . tuv.i uiuukuij auu semi
annual drawings. The schemes of the last
drawings are so arranged that they can sell 93
percent of their tickets, pay 10 per cent for
selling them, lose all the prizes provided for in
the schemes, pay 11,000,000 for expenses and
still make 3.000,0u0 profit per annum.
What is known as the daily drawinc takes
place every day except Sunday. 313 per annum.
The scheme is based on the tenarv combina
tion of the natural numbers from 1 to 78, and
on some days from 1 to 75. giving in -the one
case 7K.078, and in the other 67,525 different
combinations of three numbers each. The
prizes paid are out of all honest proportion to
the cost ot tickets or the chances of winning.
For instance, for a $1 ticket the chance of
winning a prize of b8 cents is 1 in 3: winning a
prize of $1 ib. 1 ic U, and of winning a prize ot
$4 25 Is 1 In 1,237. In addition to these printed
tickets, written policies or bets on the numbers
of the dally drawings are taken at the fancy of
the bettor, with percentage of from 22 to 41 per
cent in favor of the lottery.
THE BKS0BT OF BOODLEBS.
The Ml grail en of Thieves to Canada Not a
Dlodern Custom.
JfewYorkBnn.J
The migration of thieves and swindlers to
Canada is by no means a new thing nor yet
a Yankee idea. Thecredit of startingtheexo
dus belongs to the New Yorkers of Colonial
days, and is anEnglish suggestion, yon know.
The Hew York Gazette for September 9,
1751, says editorially that it has received ad
vices from Halifax, in Nova Scotia, that
"there is such a number of New Yorkers got
to that place as will nearly fill one of the
largest streets in the town." These gentle
men had agreed to enter into a trust under
the name of the "Free New York Fishery
Company at Nova Scotia." The gist of tub
announcement lies in the very candid post
script, that "all that shall hereafter come
here Jrom New York, provided they come
as one of King David's soldiers (see 1 Sam.,
xxii. ch., 2 verse), shall be permitted to join
them."
Eeterence to the Bible shows that the
verse speaks of David's flight to the cave
Adullam, where he gathered under his ban
ner "everyone that was distressed and every
one that was in debt and everyone that was
discontented" a precious set of soreheads
aud pirates. The boodlers, defaulters and
embezzlers of New York seem to have been
as welcome guests at Halilax in 1751 as in
the present year ot grace.
SMOKELESS TOBACCO.
A Possibility That Would Spoil the Pleasure
of Clear and Cigarette.
Boston Herald.
Smokeless powders are coming into use,
and presently some one will go and tamper
with tobacco, and the comforting weed will
be smokeless, too. But when that happens,
the cigar and cigarette fiend will cease to
exist. Half the pleasure of smoking, the
true smoker will tell you, is to see the white
rings that so gracefully curl, and when
tobacco once loses that suffocating, but
fragrant, accompaniment, the consequences
are sure to gratify cranks and all the lussy
old women if nobody else.

THE POET'S TOMB SOW A SHOW PLACE
tCORRXSPOXDICTCZ Or THX DISPATCH. 1
Dtjmfbies, Scotland, July 25. To
the visitor at old Dumfries town, if he be a
lover of Burns, there await almost endless
pleasures within and near the ancient
burgh, in the constant, and, to the stranger,
unexpected, identification of place with per
sonality. Indeed I do not know of another
spot in the whole world, where the place it
self and the whole country roundabout seem
to have taken on such an individuality and
permanent coloring from the brief presence
of one man. We place beloved, saintly
Whittier at Danvers town. But his work
and personality are intensest in our minds
along in the dark days befoie the great con
flict, and in thonght we see the man Whit-
tier plainest, when and where his burning
words had their most aggressive power.
Good old Dr. Holmes shines along in a
beaten path upon which he has cheerily
trundled for more than a quarter of a cen
tury between Cambridge and Beacon street,
and on to the Atlantic Monthly office.
Where shall we find a locale for Lowell,
sweet and stately bard and man? Those
who in secret have wept and smiled over the
tender pages of "Dream Life" and "Bever
les of a Bachelor, " only Know in a dim way
that somewhere between the rugged Con
necticut hills there is still a doughty old
farmer, "Ik Marvel," pothering among his
stumps, stone walls and early vegetables.
Who can tell of one nesting place where
Willis was, save in the brief hours by "The
Bridge" in the little backwoods cabin; and
his noble sister, "Fanny .Fern," died, Par
ton tells us, without beinc able to find the
house in PortlandMin which she was born,
and which she so bitterly longed to know?
Where is most left the seal ot the personal
presence of Hawthorne at Dingley's, at
Concord, or at Salem? There is but one
spot where we can put our loving hands on
Poe; at the Ford ham cottage where the poet,
his dying wife, Yirginia, and her devoted
mother starved in gloom and obscurity.
MEMORIALS OF THE OEBAT.
Irving's personal presence remains fixed
at just three places Sunnyside, at the old
Dutch Church, Tarrytown, and among the
mist-crowned Catskills. The two Alcotts,
great-souled father and drudging, 'tender
hearted daughter, made Concord more
famous than did Emerson, whom we feel we
can only find behind the prim, white walls,
of the prim, white house on the Lexington
road, and beneath the great Scotch granite
boulder upon the grave in Sleepy Hollow
Cemetery. The spirit of Thoreau, intangi
ble and fleeting of communion and com
panionship as his own wanderings, seems
but now and then to hover about and haunt
the reeds of sedey Maiden pond, as if find
ing vanishing embodiment in the lonely
bittern's mournful cry. Even the master
singer, Longfellow, left but four songs by
which we may trace his identification with
tne first 20 years of his own life at old Port
land town: and for nearly all the remainder
of his time and work our mind-picture of
the man is with his calm face bent over his
library desk in Crairie House. Camhridpe.

Craigenputtock or at Chelsea? Where is the
one shrine at which we shall find Bvron?
The whole of old England and the tiny
brass plate sunk in the pave of Westminster
Abbey confuse the mind and heart concen
tration upon Dickens.
Where are we finally to find a Tennysonie
shrine at dear old Somersby, in Lincoln
shire, at Aid worth, or at Farringford Honse,
Isle of Wight? Edwin Arnold flits between
a London editorial sanctum and an Oriental
pagoda. Buskin, dimmed and voiceless be
hind the veil of a mental sleep from which
the wakeless Bleep must be entered, looks,
ghost-like, from the windows of Conistou
Hall, upon fair Coniston Water, and in all
he has done and written, how many have
discovered his Lancashire environment?
Even the shrine of Shakespeare is in a
meager church, beside a pinched theater, in
an insignificant town that knows only his
ashes and the gratuities they.bring. Burns
and Scott of all the luminous host of the
great and good in prose and verse, living
and dead had their actual every-day being
in, and gave the palpable and imperishable
life-throb of their personalities to, an envi
ronment of place and people, which thus be

grander than the loftiest column orcenotaph

ANCIENT MAXWELTON.
But come with me in and out of old Dum
fries, and up and down the songful Nith, or
if your legs are not "braw and weel eneuch,"
climb with me to the ancient Observatory,
over btre in Maxweltown, the Maxwelton
whose "braes are bonnie, where early fa's
the dew," and we can from this one place
see and feel the tenderness of the identifica
tion. From this point the eve may range,
to the east, over and beyond fair Annan
dale; across Kirkcudbrightshire, to the
west, to the noble hills skirting Avr; to the
north, up the dreamland Nithsdaie to the
far grim turrets of Drumlanrig Castle; and,
to the south, to the vast expanse of Soiway
Firth, where, to the right of Nithsmouth,
looms gray-browed Criffel, and. to' the left.
is caught a gleam of the sands by Brow
Well af whose waters Burns too late
struggled to save his life. Thus at,a glance
not only does the bewitching cvcloramaeive
the beholder the entire field of' the everyday
scenes of the poet's life during his last eight
memorable years, bnt at the same instant a
comprehension of the three most impressive
epochs in his career of which we can have
memory the home-heaven of Ellisland
farm life, the wretched fight. against pover
ty in the gray old border town beneath us,
and that last unavailing struggle at Brow
Well, by Solway's shitting sands; all made
inexpressibly more impressive by the Jolty
dome of the silent mausoleum, over there in
that shadowy kirkyard, looming before us
wherever we may look for the recognition of
his old-time presence within the fair region
roundabout.
In Dumfries itself one cannot look upon
asingle olden structure, or follow with the
eye any close, wynd, venncl or street, with
out knowing that at sometime it was more
familiar to Burns, than any portion of the
old city is to any one of its inhabitants to
day. In the ancient Bank street honse
where he first lived in Dumfries in the three
tiny apartments, more than one-third of the
more than 100 poems he produced in Dum
fries were composed. Then in the Mill,
now Burns, street home, which was his last,
the remainder were given birth. Among
these were, "Auld Langsyne," "My Wife's
a Winsome Wee Thing," "The Soldier
Beturn." "Willie Wastle," "Contented
Wi' Little, and Cantie Wi' Mair.1" "Thou
Hast Left Me Ever, Jamie,", "Ye Banks
and Braes o' Bonnie Doon,' "MyLo'veis
Like a Bed, Bed Eose," "My .Heart is Sair,
I Daurna Tell," "O Wert Thou in the
Cauld Blast," "Duncan Gray," "Flow
Gently, Sweet Alton," and that grand mar
tial ode, "Bruce'a Address."
THE VEESE Olf THE 'WTNDO'Vr.
The old, though still spruce, King's Arms
Inn, could never have so long stood the
assaults of time and tourists had not Burns,
in a lorgivablv irreverent and delicious
mood, scratched upon its window pane:
Ye men of wit and wealth, why all this sneering

is one of the oddest old structures to be
found in all Scotland. It is now called the
Mid-Steeple. When built, 200 years ago, it
was known as the Tron Steeple. At that
time, on the sale at auction of the customs
and excise of Scotland, the Dumfries Town
Council took a large share in the' plunder;
in turn sold it to a fellow burgher, one
Sharpe, so by name and fine in dealing.
The citizens revolted; and, on compromise,
burgher Sharpe was permitted to retain his
"tack" on payment of 20,000 marks, Scots,
with which the outlandish structure was
erected. In its upper uncouthueis it con
tains the town clock" and a peal ol bells, and
a complaining weather cock surmounts the
spire. Middle Spire, clock and bells and
all, is an unreliable old "tongue of the
town" to this day. But the ridiculous relic
of an ancient canny deal would have been
razed to the ground 100 years ago, were it
not the treasure house of st asks of rusty war
pikes ready for valiant service, when the
exerciseman poetoused everybody in Great
Britain with,
Does haughty Ganl invasion threat?
Then let the loons beware, sir;
- There's wooden walls upon our seas,
And volunteers on shore, sir.
The Nith shall run to Corsinton,
The Criffel sink in Soiway,
Ero we permit a foreign foe
On British ground to rally!
"The auld brig," built by the devout De
vorgilla over 700 years ago, when London's
population did not exceed 35.000 souls, and
which still spans the Nith below the New
Bridge, the latter completed belore Burns'
death, does not possess a tithe the interest
because of its having sustained wondrous
kingly cavalcades and been fought over by
countless Border legions, that it does for
having innumerable times been the haunt
of this one man, and because "in his suit of
plain dark clothes with his sword cane in
hand" and his children by his side, he
loved to loiter upon it, or wander about near
it, upon the White Sands, or near its west
ern approach along Maxwelton's sunny
braes.
BTTBJI3 MADE A BURGESS.
Not a stone's throw from its last red old
arch is the spot where Burns, on his first ap
pearance in Dumfries, clad in the familiar
blue coat and yellow vest which Nasmyth
has made us unconsciously associate with
his sturdy figure, just after the publication
of the second edition of his poems, was
made an honorary burgess; the burgess
ticket to the already illustrious plowman
reading: "The said day, 4th June, 1787,
Mr. Robert Burns, Ayrshire, was admitted
burgess of this burgh, with liberty to exer
cise and enjoy the whole immunities and
privileges thereof as freely as any other
does, may or can enjoy; who, being present,
accepted the same and gave his oath ot burgess-ship
to his Majesty and burgh in com
mon form." But for Burns Dumfries would
not to this day be as well known as Kala
mazoo. Still the marvelous condescension
of these pompous old nobodies made Bnrns
a freeman. He bad been but a hiud until
this memorable "4th June, 1787."
At the foot of George Inn Close. Irish
street, is a little academy. It was here at a
county ball that the gentry were gathered on
an autumn evening of 1794, when the now
poverty-stricken poet passed and was given
the "universal rejection" or cnt direct bv all
save the noble Dayid McCulloch, of Ard
well, which made those concerned, as well
as their descendants, infamous to this day.
Near this was the hall of St. Andrew's Ma
sons' Lodge, to which Burns belonged and
which he made famous. Its record for April
14, 1796, "Burns present," is the last min
ute coutaining the poet's name. At the cor
ner ol Shakespeare street and Queen's place
still stands the little old Theater
Boyal, which was opened in 1790,
Burns being present, and of whose
first week's career he wrote so en
thusiastically to his friend Nicol:
"Their (the performers') merit and charac

Then aside from countless lesser facts and

laughter of Syme.Maxwell.Landlord Hyslop

SONGS OF OLD SCOTLAND
he had rescued from ill-fitting sentiment and
wedded to his own deathless verse; there is
the staunch little cottage and its memories
of the hours he passed in it with his family,
or at the "folding-down desk, between the
fire window of his parlor, transcribing in his
bold, round hand the remarks which occur
to him on Mr. Thompson's last letter, to
gether with some of his own recently-composed
songs;" there is old SL Michael's Par
ish Church, whose now most precious mem
orial is the place pointed gout where Burns
and his family worshiped; and, at last, the
great mausoleum itsel', in St. Michael's kirk
yard, where the poet, his bonnie Jean and
all their children, in an undivided family,
are at rest
Every square yard of Dumfries town is
aglow with some touching reminder of
Burns. His memory is the very breath of
lie of the place. There is but oue stain on
its surpassing tenderness. That forms an
insult to the whole world in permitting his
tomb, the property by actual "subscription
and a common heritage of all nnti.mnlitipa
and men, to lapse into a mercenary show-
Iilace, in the clutch of two beggarly brutes
acking the common placid and kindly
nature and intelligence of ordinary animals.
These two creatures, man and wife, stand

claws and ruffianly demands for coin, aud

sacred shrine. Whether the ghouls rob for
themselves or for intelligent human hvenas
behind them, the desecration is the same.
Burns was starved and bullied into his

dozen men, at from 50 to 70 per year.
Scotchmen in Scotland and the world over
will be lacking in the noblest of Scotch
qualities until this revolting defamation of
.tne illustrious dead is abolished; and the
abuse partially atoned for through some
form of international association and action
which, in purging this one shrine ironi the
taint of shatuetul venality, and rendering
free and unsullied approach by all the
world to these sacred ashes, shall attach
more honor and dignity to the memory oi
Burns than that echoed in the mere bawling
of his name in connection with a hilarious
annual toast, all unmindful of its defama
tion here.at a thousand St. Andrew's festive
boards. Edgar L. Wakemak.

A Clergyman Alone Willi ibo Dead, Rcndlne
the Bnrlal Service.
New York Snn.
A gentleman who was on a visit to Ward's
Island one day last week witnessed a little
scene which made a deep impression on
him, though it is by no means an uncommon
spectacle there. While walking along the
bluff that runs to the east of the Homeo
pathic Hospital he noticed a gentleman in
clerical dress step down upon the whar.' and
inspect the cards on three white pine coffios
that were piled up in a corner and covered
with a black rubber blanket, waiting for
the steamboat to carry the bodies down to
the morgue. It was the hospital chaplain
the Bev. Mr. Hoskios. P '
Presently he seemed to have found what
he wanted, for he took out a little book un
covered his head, and read the burial
service. He was alone with the dead, and
yet there was something so solemn and real
about the rite that the party on the bluff
100 yards away, paused reverently until it
was ended. Jt touched the hpavt f ti,
-business man who was a visitor there, and he
ouiu ui mi ineuu luai ne was glad to see it,
and know what reverence the city paid to
its pauper dead, aud that he honored the
minister who went through his service in
such a place and under such drawbacks.

DRIFT TOWARD UNION
The Tendency Toward Closer Rela
tionship Steadily Growing
AMONG THE PRESBYTERIAN SECTS.
Great Evident Need of United Effort in
Missionary Work.
GLEANINGS FE0H CHURCH FIELDS
Christian union is in the air. The same
progress toward a union of the Protestant
churches the next 35 years as we have seen
in the 25 years past will bring the great ma
jority of the denominations into one fold.
The Presbyterian Church a generation ago
was divided into old and new schools.
In this city a little more than a score of
years ago, these branches were married.
Some ten years before this marriage two
branches of the Presbyterian flock known as
Associate and Associate Reformed Presby
terian denominations, came together in this
city alter years of struggle under the title of
the United Presbyterian Church. The
signs of the times now point to the union of
the latter body with the Presbyterian
Church, and although there have been no
movements in this direction on the part of
the powers that be, the same progress to
ward Christian union the next 20 years that
we have seen the last 20 will bring the en
tire Presbyterian Church into one fold. A
vote of the membership to-day would bring
this union.
The tendency of our times is toward
union: A generation or two ago, when a
man was aggrieved with the action of an ec
clesiastical court, he started a church on
his own hook. Hence the divisions of
Protestantism which have been the scandal
of Christianity since the Beformatiou. The
recent ecclesiastical drift is toward union
instead of division.
UNION A NECESSITY.
The Pittsburg Christian Advocate in an
editorial this week, congratulates the Pres
byterian in its Christian union efforts in
the following style:
"The union of our forces in mission fields
seems to us an almost imperative necessity.
With what consistency can different
branches of Presbyterians, having substan
tially the same creed and the same govern
ment, go into a mission field to preach the
same gospel, and yet set up separate altars?
The same is true or Methodists. And be
sides, we are squandering the Lord's money
in supporting two sets of agencies where one
would do the work. The Methodists of
Japan are not wise in not having followed
Presbyterian example, and made a united
Methodism in that country. That is the
end to wnich we should aim. And if the
result should be to bring the churches of the
.Dietnoaist lamuy at borne closer together,
so much the better; aud if the end should
be a closer bond among all who love the
Lord Jesus Christ in all the world, amen."
WOEK IN HEATHEN LANDS.
There is no department of church work
where the necessity of union is so keenly
felt as in missionary operations. The little
ainerences which diviae the Protestant
sects become very small in the eye of the
missionary who undertakes to plant 'the
standard of the Cross on heathen soil. The
following from the Presbyterian shows the
drift ol opiniou as to the importance of com
bined effort on the part of Protestant
churches:
It is generally conceded that Presbyter
ians in heathen lands have made the largest
u ii ruii' ur tu hi r"
missionary forces. In Japan the union has
been complete, and the varions divisions of
Presbyterians have there melted into one.
In India the proposition to unite the var
ious representatives of the Presbyterian
bodies has been received with much favor,
and no dissenting voice has been heard, ex
cept from the United Presbyterians of
America. In China the question of union
is uuder consideration. In Brazil all the
Presbyterians engaged in the work of evan
gelization are under the control of one
synod. We rejoice in this movement, and
hope that these minor unions among men of
the same faith may be the precursor and
herald of more extended reunions among
those who hold and proclaim the evangeli
cal faith.
A PEEACHEE AT THE BAT.
Bev. Dr. Meloy, United Presbyterian
minister of Chicago, is responsible for the
following, which appeared in the Pittsburg
United Presbyterian of recent date:
"Some of the churches are closed for the
summer, and many of the pastors are away
on their vacations. Dr. Noble, of the Con
gregational Church, started two weeks ago
for Europe. He was about to sail, when he
was called home to attend the fnm-ml nf Tin
daughter. The deepest sympathy was felt
lor the grief-strickeu pastor, by hundreds to
whom he had ministered the consolations of
the gospel, as now he sat with his own soul
filled with grief. The doctor was formerly
pastor of the Third Presbyterian Church of
Pittsburg, and has many friends in your
city. Vacation month is'not always pleas
ant. The best rest is one from sorrow and
care and sin, but we will not get that until
we get oeyona tneregion of shadows.
"The little boys' of our Sabbath school
have given a formal challenge to the older
men to play them a game of ball at our
picnic I told the youthlnl Captain 'Joe"
that I wanted to know who would be their
pitcher. He replied that it would be my
son Harry. I accepted the challenge, re
marking that Harry would certainly throw
slow balls to his lather. 'Joe' however
told me that Harry would be watched when
I was at bat, and if he was seen to favor his
father in the least he would be 'bounced.'
Now it is hard that a man's own son will
throw curves' and 'swift balls' when his
lather is at the bat. But the boys have a
teen sense of justice, and will show no
favors to one who is too awkward to 'strike'
and too old to 'run' and too fat to 'slide.'
There are some advantages in being young
but they are fast passing away, and trie boys
had better improve them."

A Prominent Citizen of Allegheny
Makes a Remarkable Statement
MR. griesaFjnterviewed.
"I presume I can lay the blame of a
great deal df my trouble to the trade I fol
low," said Mr. Grlesar. "At any rate it
was through exposure incident to my work
that I contracted the severe cold which was
the commencement of my ailment,"
The speaker was Mr. J. J. Griesar, of 63
Villa street, Allegheny, a well-known resi
dent of the Seventh ward, in which he re
sides. It was of his successful treatment for
his catarrh trouble with Drs. Copeland &
Blair that he was speaking.
"res, sir," continued Mr. Griesar, "I was
in bad shape when I went to see Drs. Cope
land & Blair. My trouble, which I had at
first paid but little attention to, had grown
on me for six years, until it had developed
in a painful case of catarrh.
"My nose would stop up. first on one side,
and then on the other. There was a feeling
of tightness across the bridge of my nose. I
had a dull, heavy pain in my forehead. My
eyeswere weak and watery. There were
roaring and buzzing noises in my ears. My
hearing was so impaired that at oue time I
feared that I should lose it altogether.
Griesar, 63 Villa street, Allegheny.
"I could feel the mucus dropping back Into
my throat. I was constantly hawking and rais
ing, bnt could not get my throat clear. There
seemed to be something there that 1 could
neither get up nor down. A dry hacking cough
set In. Sharp pains would shoot through my
chest, extending as far as the shoulder blades.
When I wonld stoop over, my heart would beat
rapiaiy ana men siowiy. xnis palpitation
would be followed by a feeling of faintness.
"My appetite was very poor and I grew
weaker every day. Tbe slightest exertion tired
me. I slept well, but would arise tired and lan
guid, I had read of the notable success of
Drs. Copeland & Blair, so determined to see
them. I did so, and was so favorably impressed
with their treatment and reasonable charges
that I commenced treatment.
"I improved steadily from tbe first; and now
feel better than I ever did in my life. My head,
nose and throat do not bother me, and my bear
ing has Improved wonderfully, and all tbe
other symptoms I enumerated have disap
peared. I feel that I am enred, and attribute
my recovery to the wonderf nl treatment I re
ceived from these eminent specialists.
