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.

CHARITY.—Men measure their charity
by a peculiar standard. A man who has
not a dollar in his pocket, would give
a penny almost for any purpose. 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

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.

"Sometimes—not often," was the an

" Oh, yes; I see that is the •tooth, I

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

It was the work of an instant—crack

agonized victim sprang madly out of

"Villain—murderer! what do you

his mouth full of blood.
