The inimitable wit, schollar,
a nd gentleman, ', George , : D.
1 'rektice, editor ef the , Louis,
ville Journal, . recently paid the
Dilowing compliment to the
nemorjr of. Robert Burns:
Britain and America l assem
bled to par a heartfelt tribute
of admiration to the memory of
Itlobert Burns, the unrivalled
i ninstrel of Scotland, whose
faint gathers freshness from the
lapse of years, aid like theivr,
flourishes greenly over the lone
prostration of the lovely and
the beautiful.
You all knpw the history of
Burns. - The world knows it by
heart. The Scottish boy born
in poverty and obscurity, won
his way through toils, privations
and sufferings, to one of the lof
tiest placet ii the history of lit
erature. 1 He was the child of
misfortune, and mankind weep
over the sorrows of that gifted
genius, and will weep over them
forever. He, was unfitted for
the rough trials of a world like
this. The lyre of his soul sho'ld
have been fanned by the airs of
Eden, and have given out its mu
sic in heavenly? clime; and
who can wonder that its cords
were jarred; and almost broken
wht n visited by flic fierce winds,
the iwifilightnings and the blas-
ting1 hurricanes 0rrIlie.,":-lKe
the rain bow, his fame sprang
i j i I . ' i .
up amidst cloudt and gloom; but
like the rain bow, it was a re-
flection of the Sun, and fits arch
.... v
was Inst in heaven " . ,
The genius of Burns was uni
versal, InWhatever he attemp
ted, success was perfect. " His
talent wa all powerful,"whether
he aimed at the heart of the
lfiverto: call forth the5 loud or
quit mirth of, the votary of fes
tivity, to kindle the high and
holy fervor of devotion, to pour
his own great entusiasm for lib
erty into the soal of the patriot,
or to nerve the arm to send the
lava tide of vengeance along
the veins of the warrior. If you
pass through Scotland, you feel
his mighty influence every where,
like a universal presence. He
has made that wild and rbman
tic country emphatically his
own.' His step is upon her
mountains, Ker braes and her
blue lochs, and her. gushing

, kHow many bright eyes grow
dim, how many soft cheeks grow
pale, how, many lovely form fade
away int the 'tomb, and none
can tell the cause that blighted
their loveliness. '
As the dove will clasp its
wings to its side, and cover and
conceal the arrow that is pray
ing upon its Vitals,4 so it is the
nature of woman to hide from
the world the pongs of wounded
affection. The love of a deli
cate female is always shy and
silent. Even when fortunate she
scarcely breathes it to herself ;
but when otherwise, she buries
it within the recesses of her bo
som, and there lets it cower and
brood among the ruins of her
peace. ' t; 'V':';.''v"- '
