Rohe'.t Burns. MEETING WITH *ALTER SCOTT AND FRANCIS JEFFREY. , Itavas in, the winter of 1776-7 that the poet Burns, a new prespeet hsving been. suddenly opened up to him, by the kind intervention of Blacklock and a few other influen- tial friends in.Editiburgle abandoned his desperate project of emigTating to the West Taties, and hastened to pay his first memorable visit to the Scottish Metropolis. Duringthe Winter, as all who are acquainted with his life -know, the Ayrshire plowman, then in his twenty-ninth year, was the HOD of Edinburgh so- ‘cierar. Lord Monboddo, Do aald Stewart, Harry Easkine, Dr, llob- ertson, Dr. Hugh Blair, Henry Mac- kenzie; Dr. Gregory, Dr. Black, Dr. Adam " Ferguson—sixth were the names then most conspicuous ia the literary capital of North _Britain, and it was in the company of these men, alternated with that of the Creeehes, the Smellie, and othee contemporary Edinburgh celebrities of a lower grade, that Burns first re- alized the fat that he waf3 no mere bard of local note, but a new power and magnate in Scottish literature. To those who are alive to the po- etry of coincidences, two anecdotes * connected with this residence of ,• Burns in Edinburgh will always be speeially interesting. What reader of Lockhart's Life di Scott is there who does not remember the account there given of Scott's,' first and only - interview with Burn? As the sto- ry is now more minutely told in Robert Chambers's Life of Burns, Scott, who was then'a lad of seven- , teen, just removed from the High -School to a desk in his father's office, was invited by his friend and come 'Anion, the son of Dr. Ferguson, to accompany -lira to his father's house on an evening when Burns was to be there. Tho twe youngsters en- tered the room, set down unnoticed by theiaseniors, and looked on and listened in 'modest silenceai. Burns, when he came in, Seemed' a little out of his element, and, instead of mingling as once with the company, 'kept going round about the room, • looking at the picturesion the walls. One print particularly -arrested his attention.. It represented a soldier --- lying deacl among the snow, his dog on one side, and a woman with a child in her arms on the other. 'Un- derneath the print were sonee lines of verse desceiptive of the subject; Which Burns read aloud with a voice faltering; with _emotion. A little • while after, tuining to the company. and pointing to the print, he asked , if any one could tell him who was the author of these lines. No one chanced to know, excepting Scott, who remembered they were from tin - obscure poem of Langhorne's. 'rife information, whispered • by Scott to soine one near, was repeated to Burns, who, after asking a little more about the matter, rewarded his young informant with a look of kindly interest, and the words, (Sir Adam Ferguson • reports them) 1' You'll be a man yet, sir." Such is the one story, the story of the "lit- erary ordination," as Mi. CharnberS well calls it, of Scott by Buena—a scene avhich, we think, Sir William Allan wOhld have delighted to paint. The •other story is. now told for the, fiiit time, we believe, by Lord Cock- burn. Somewhere about the very day on which the foregoing incident happened, a •little black creature of a boy, we are told, who was going •up the High Street of -Edinburgh, and staring diligently about him, • was attracted by the appearanoe of a man whom he saw standina on the , , pavement He was taking a, good and leisurely- view of the object of • his curiosity, when some one stand- ing at a shop door tapped him on • the shoulder, and said, "Ay, laddie, ye may weel look at that man Aliat's Robert Burns." The "little black creature" thus early addicted to criticism, was Francie Jeffrey, the junior of. Scott by four years, and • exactly four -years behind him lin the classeseof the High School, where he was known as a clever nervous lit- tle fellow, who never lost a place without crying. • It is mentioned as a curious fact by Lord Cockburn, that Jeffrey -'s first teacher a, the High School,a Mr. Luke Fraser, had the singular - good fcrtu.ne-' of sending -forth, from three successive classes of four years each, three pu- pils no less distinguished than Wal- ter Scott, Francis Jeffrey and Henry Brougham. . s half" • eervic plan charge who is duet whuIe tin tures . are and &law bount • care is the du tq the fully On the The Raw Recruit. - When a recruit joins the service, heenters the barrack-roorn stra,nge to_everything in military life.

A hen that had gone through a clay mud -puddle, went in- to the sugar house. It was observ- ed by some one that: wherever the tracks were, the sugar was whitened. This led to some experiments. The result was, that the !clay came to be used in refiningsugar. It i in this way : The sugiu is put in earthen jars, shaped as ou see the sugar is. The large ends are Upwards. . The ends have a hole in them. The jar is filled with sitar, the Clay put over the top and kept wet. The moisture percolates- down. through the sugar, and drops frotn'the hole in the small end of the jar. This makes the sugar -perfectly white. • ONTARIO ters' Emporium, 8 AND 78 BAY STREET.
