To the 19dttor of Tki1I POO 1
DEAR Slit -Aa the 55t11 of the month
will be the, one hundred and fiftieth an-
niyersery of the birth p£ Robert Burns
It may be interesting to readers of
Tine Pose to hear what some of the
great men thought of him, Ditty
years ago on the 25tH of January, 1859,
there were great meetings bell in bettor
of bis birth, and at a great gathering
,. held in Edinburgh Lord Arcltnillan pre.
Sided and spoke as follews ;--"I am
deeply conscious that I shall most in-
adequately present to you the great toast
of this eveping but I shalt wilhuut pre-
lude address ptyeelt to the subject which
has evoked a simultaneous gathering In
every part df the world. One hundred
years ago a Scottish peasant was born
who in his life was flattered and tempted
' then scorned and neglected by the great
and whose works -wide fame now craves
a demonstration altogether without
precedent" This is a pretty impromptu
verse by James'Muntgorner'y :--
"He passed through life's tempestuous
night
A brilliant trembling Northern light,
Through after years be shines trom far
A fixed unsettiug polar star,"'
'Po that star clear and bright after the
lapse of a century, a glorious light and
yet a beacon light, all eyes are now
turned, Burns was by far the greatest
poet who ever sprung from the bosom
of the people and lived and died in
humble condition as the embodiment of
popular genius ; the champion of
popular independeoce and the type of
popular elevation, His memory, not
the memory of his faults and follies, but
the memory of his matchless genius and
his noblespirit is cherisheda close to the
heart of every
Scotchrnao. In and
around Ayr his memory is inscribed on
every feature of natural scenery and as
-
sociated with every phase of domestic
life.. Everything around is impressed
by his and vocal with his. name.
genius
We seem to bear it in the song
of every bird and the murmer of
every stream, in the sough of the night
wind that rocks tbe raven's nest et
Alloway kirk and the rippling of the
moon light waves breaking on the caves
of Culzean, There in a lonely cottage
on the banks ot tbe Doon dwelt his
worthy father, who is so touchingly and
beautifully described in the Cotter's
Saturday Night as reading to his
gathered household from the big bible
and offering the family prayer so impres-
sive in its.siiuple solemnity,
"That He who stills the raven's slamor-
ous nest
And decks the lily fair in flowery pride
Would in the way His wisdom sees the
beet
For them and for their little ones
provide,
But chiefly in their hearts with grace
divine preside."
But Burns belongs not to Scotland
alone but to hnmauity in every part
of the world where Scottish
mac has penetrated, where Scottish
tongue is knowa and Scottish hearts
beat with manly feeling and patriotic
emotion, His works are felt to be a
great treasure, hie fame a popular
heritage, his genius a great popular
impulse as it 'beds gladness on
the humble home. On this day Burns
is to us not the memory of a departed
but tbe presence of a living power.
'rhe electric chain which binds the Sons
of Britain in every part of the world,
stirring us up to the love of country, of
liberty and home, we now pledge our
heartiest honor to the Immortal Robert
Bairns.
Lord Brougham spoke as follows :-
"After his poetical genius there is
nothing so remarkable in Burns' history
as the extraordinary refinement of his
seutimeots and even of his taste from
earliest years, the effect certainly of his
education having been greater than falls
td the peasantry even in Scotland.
Thus beside tbe ordinary and every
day effects of this education we have its
necessary tendepcy to mature and dis
close rare capacity of the highest order.
All that is called genius." A Watt, to
alter the whole face of the world by the
changes which his profound science and
matchless skill produced, each change
an.improvement and adding to the hap-
piness of mankind. A Burns whose im-
mortal verse makes the solace and de.
light of his countrymen in every age
and in every clime where their lot may
be cast."
Rev. Alexander Wallace spoke next
and said "This is in some respects one
of the most remarkable eights in the
history of Scotland The country is
stirred to its very depths and not nnly so
but a sympathetic cord is struck which
vibrates in the breast of every Scotch -
man on the face of the earth. The
gathering iu every village tonight from
John o' Groats to Maiden Kirk are not
sensational gatherings but national
They breathe the spirit of an entire
people for Robert Bnrns was the most
intensely national poet that ever lived.
The Supreme Giver of all good gave
Scotland a rich and rare gift In that
itnmortal genius which when it rose to
the high purpose for which it was given
men felt, as they feel still, and roust ever
do as lung as human hearts can feel the
power of genius, the touch of nature
that makes the world kin, His native
wild wood notes were so sweet so simple
so full of mature that new life and beauty
and attraction were thrown around the
most familiar incidents of every day
life. It is but simple justice to our
national poet to say that his brilliant
genius should be looked at spat from
the dark cloud through which alas, that
genius often shone and
struggled '
a;tato
glorious light. The splendour of his
genius made the dark spots of his life
all the more visible, We would look
upoe these through tears, the
blinding tears of pity and regret.
But we cabnot remain insensible
to that genius which has sung
as bird has never sting before, the jot's
and sorrows of the poor Man's lot. Be

none affections brightened the stern
face of poverty, strengthened every
noble sentiment and cheered the
drudgery of ceaseless toil. Take away
from his writings all that is objection-
able, all that in Ilia last hours be would
have blotted out, and after ttsie is dour
there still remains very melt that will

it beats in unison with noble sentiments,

on. Our poet has' wreathed around the
brow of old Scotland a garland of poetic
beauty lmpertshable as her own heathery
glens and sweet and simple as her own

en a deathless fame."
At a large gathering in the city hall,
Glasgow, Sir Archibald Alison presid-
ed and spoke as follows :- "I have now
to propose to you the toast of the
evening, "The immortal memory of
Robert Burns,"' In approaching this
great subject I know Rot whether to (eel

poet sprung or the colossal magnitude
of the fame which he has since attained.
On this day one hundred years ago on
the 25th day of January 1759 5 Child was
born near fife now classic kit k of Aliway
in Ayrshire, intended apparently for a
humble lot and to be gathered at length
to his Father unknown, unsung in, the
simple churcavard where his rude tore -
fathers of the hamlet slept. But this
child was destined to immortality,

but all who can admire genius and
venerate lofty feelings in every country
of the civilized globe. In every city and
village in Scotland and not a few i•
England and Ireland multitudes are now
assembled to cerebrate his genius
and wherever the English language is
spoken one universal chorus of ad
nitration is resounding in honor of our
peasant son.
His fame has been like the swelling
eddy which breaks around a pebble
thrown by a child, the child of Nature,
iuto a stream ; but that stream bas
descended to she ocean and become a
mighty wave which bas rolled across
the Atlantic and broke on the American
and Australian shores. Vast as is this
assembly, which I now address, it is but
the representative of millions who are
now found toge:her in the expression of
common feeling, and the pulse which
now throbs so violently at tbe very name
of Burns under this roof is beating also
at the same moment in the extremities
of the earth afar off in Australian and
trans•Attantic wilds. It is to few men

each other, that Nature has given the
passport to immortality, and when
she has done tt, it is not on the great or

we now lament are passing into oblivion

"I was in poor health nearly all last
Winter," writes Mrs. Cross, of Wake-

variable, I was weak and unfit for
work. I suffered a great deal front

had lost flesh, color and had a bad
cough. The doctors didn't help me
very much so I decided to try Fer-
rozone, It did me ever so much good
in one week. I gained strength, look-
ed anis felt a lot better. When I had
used six boxes of Ferrozone I weighed
myself and found a gain of fifteen
pounds. Ferrozone rebuilt my con-
stitution, and made me a new woman.
I consider Ferrozone worth its weight
in gold to every weak woman, It
cures quickly and saves big doctors'

Mixed farming is becoming more
general throughout the West, as may be
shown by the fact that the increase this
year in the number of export cattle was
46,796 head and that 63,640 more hogs
were marketed than in any previous
year, The export steers brought to the
farmers of the West this year the sum of

A dreadful plague indeed when you
consider that in incipient stages it can
be cured. Take care of the little cold
before it becomes a big one. When
the throat is sore and it hurts to ex-
pand your chest, rub in Nerviline and
immediately apply one of Poison's
Nerviline Porous Plasters. Pain and
tightness are at once relieved. In-
flammation and soreness gradually
disappear and fatal illuess is thus
avoided: Nerviliue Plasters act as a
counter irritant over the seat of pain,
and as au exterior application in cur-
ing colds in the muscles, in pleurisy
and headaches they have no equal.
Keep these remedies right in your
home.

woman dreads more than another it
is a surgical operation.

For proof of this statement read
the following letter,
Mrs. Letitia Blair, Cannifton, Ont.,
writes to Mrs. Pinkham:
"I was sick for five years. One doc-
tor told me it was ulceration, and•'an-
other told me it was a fibroid tumor,
and advised an operation. No one
knows what I st1fforetl, and the bear-
ing down pains were terrible.
I"I wrote to my sister about it, and she
advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
"It has cured me of alis my troubles,
and I did not have to have the opera-
tion after all. The Compound also
helped me to pass safely through
Change of Life."
