[CORRECT PRINCIPLtSSITITOP.:Ie R V TrUTI3.I HUNTINGDON, PA., TUESDAY, MAjRCII 28, 1848, BURNS AND HIS HIGHLAND MARY We extract the following interesting article from the Montreal Herald. It will be read with a melancholy pleasure, by many of our subscribers ; few poets have a deeper hold on the heart of the New Englanders, than Robert Burns, whose errors are forgotten in the con templation of his genius and his works. —Essex Register. " We had in our possession on Satur• day the identical pair of Bibles present ed by the immortal Burns to the dearest object of his affections, Highland Mary, on the banks of the winding Ayr, when he spent with her "one day of parting love." They are in remarkably good preservation, and belong to a descend ant of the family of Mary's mother, Mrs. Campbell, whose property they became on the death of her daughter, and sub sequently Mrs. Anderson. The circum stances of the bible being in two vol umes seemed at one time to threaten its dismemberment—Mrs. Anderson having presented a volume to each of her two daughters—but on the approaching mar riage, their brother William prevailed on them to dispose of the sacred vol umes to him. On the first blank leaf of the first volume is written, in the hand-writing of the immortal bard, "And ye shall riot swear by my name falsely—l am the Lord." Levit. 19th chap. 12th verse; and on the correspon ding leaf of the second volume, " Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but perform unto the Lord thine oath, Matth. sth ch. 33d verse." On the second blank leaf of each volume, there are the remains of " Robert Burns, Mossigiel," in his hand-writing, beneath which is drawn a Masonic emblem. At the end of the first volume there is a lock of Highland Mary's hair. There is a mournful interest attached to these sacred volumes—sacred from their contents, and sacred from having been a pledge of love from the most gifted of Scotland's bards to the artless object of his affections, from whom ho was separating no more to meet on this side of 'the grave. The life of Burns was full of romance, but there is not one circumstance in it all so romantic and full of interest as those which rondud nutt rurtuwen -- 1 - nu gut 01 these volumes. He was young when lie wooed and won the affections of Mary, whom he describes as " a warm hearted, charm ing young creature as ever blessed a man with generous love." The attach ment was mutual, and forms the subject of many of his earliest lyrics, as well as the prOductions of his later years, which shows that it wns very deep root ed. Before he was known to fame, steep ed in poverty to the very dregs, and meditating an escape to the %Vest Indies from the remorseless fangs of a hard hearted creditor, he addressed to his "dear girl" the song which begins : Will ye go to the Indies my Mary; And lease old Scotia's shore, Will ye go to the Indies, nay Mary, And cross the Atlantic's roar 1 But neither Burns nor his Mary were doomed to "cross the Atlantic's roar," nor to realize those dreams of mutual bliss which passion or enthusiasm had engendered in their youthful imagina tions. Burns was called to Edinburgh, there to commence his career of fame, which was to terminate in chill pover ty's dreary disappointment and despair —while Mary's happier lot, after a tran sient gleam of the sunshine of life, was to be removed to a better and a happier world. Her death shed a sadness over his whole future life, and a spirit of sub dued grief and tenderness was display ed whenever she was the subject of his conversation or writings. Witness as follows : Ye banks an' brace and streams around The castle o' Montgomerie, Green be your woods, and fair your flowers, Your waters never drumlie. There summer tirst unfolds her robes, An' there they longest tarry, For there I took my last farewell 0' my sweet Highland Mary !" In a note appended to this song Burns says, "This was a composition of mine in my early life, before l was known at all to the world. My Highland lassie' was a warm-hearted charming young creature as ever blessed a man with gen erous love. After a pretty long trial of the most ardent reciprocal affection, we met by appointment on the second Sun- day o ay, in a sequestered spot on the banks of the Ayr, where we spent a day in taking a farewell before she, would embark forsthe West Highlands, to arrange matters among her friends for our projected change of life. At the close of the autumn following, she cross ed. the sea to meet me at Grennock, when she was seized with a malignant fever, which hurried my dear girl to the grave in.a few days, before I could even hear of her illness. It was at this romantic and interest- I ing meeting ott the banks of the Ayr, . • that the bibles before ns were presented A DOUBLE OPERATION. to Mary, and he riniSt have a heart of A few days since a lady elegantly stone !Indeed, to gaze on them without dressed, entered one of the dry goods his imagination calling tip feelings in establishments in Chesnut street and de his bosom too big for utterance.

If he had a hundred dollars he might give one; carry it higher and there comes a falling ofr. One hundred dollars would be considered too large a sum for him who has ten thousand while a present of one thousand would be considered al most miraculous for a man worth one hundred thousand—yet the proportion is the same throughout—ii... k aa!r mans penny and the widow's mite, is more than the rich man's sounding widely trumpeted benefaction. " MUSTANG " IN WASHINGTON.-A Washington letter says :-11 The recep tion of Mr Freaner, who brought the treaty from Mexico to Washington, at the Department of State has caused a good deal of laughter at the Capitol.— Coming front Mexico in seventeen days, he had but little time for his toilette, and on his arrival sported a blue jacket and pants, one leg of which was strap less, while the want of suspenders dis played a fold of check linen over the waistband, n broad brimmed tarpaulin hat, with a face covered with ranchero looking whiskers. On his landing at the wharf he hastened in a conch,(though the hackmen were rather shy of him,) to the residence of the Secretary of State, where he was flatly refused ad mission by the porter in waiting. How ever he forced his way in, and Mr. Bu chanan was no less astonished than his servant, to find in the queer chap be fore him, who had at sight mistaken for an old salt, the redoubtable Mustang, and the special ambassador of Don Nicholas 'Trist." 03- Fifteen \Vhig papers in the State of Indiana have declared for Hon.

Here the shrewd dentist adroitly turned the conversatiot on teeth, and was pleased to find that his patient did not suspect his motives. "Hrthe-by," laughed the clever operator, " I am not busy this morning, permit me to look at your teeth." Without a moment's hes itation the cleric seated himself in the sufferer's chair. " You have a toothache now and then, doctor, caging over to the martyr, with the forceps con cealed in his hand. "Sometimes—not often," was the an swer of the innocent. " Oh, yes; I see that is the •tooth, I think," added the cunning dentist, look ing into the open mouth of his visitor. "Yes, sir, that is the one that used to ache when I wns a child." "Exactly—that one—allow me again —one moment—there !" It was the work of an instant—crack —crash--the tooth was out—and the agonized victim sprang madly out of the chair at the throat of the dentist. "Villain—murderer! what do you mean I" sputtered the unfortunate with his mouth full of blood. "It's all over now," parleyed the den tist. " Yes, sir," said the victim, "you may thank your stars that it's not all over with you. And now, sir, (handing him the bill for the shawl) with your per mission we'll come to a settlement." " Not a cent, sir," expostulated the doctor, " I have arranged it with your sister."
