BurnsHighland Mary.
, Rev. WM. WYE SMITH.
Mary Campbell, eldest child of Areh-
ibiald Campbell and Agnes Campbell,
his wife, waft born at the farrn of Auch-
more, near Dunoon, Scotland, about the
yeer 1763. Neither the exact date of her
birth or death can now be recovered.-
, She wee the eldest of eight children,
only four of whom lived to grow up.
In the order of age, they were Mary,
Robert, Annie and Archibald. The
'feet of .Mary, the eldest of the family,
•and naturally the m.other's helper, be-
ing ont " at service," earning her own
livelihood, adds to other evidence con-
cerning the poverty of the family. The
father, at the thaw he comes inte- our
view, was on a revenue cutter, whose
headquarters Was at Campbelltown,
in Cantire. But if Archibald Camp-
bell was poor, he was also proud ; a
eombination of qualities by no means
rare in the world. We can imagine the
stern and unbending Highlander, with a
nautical blue bonnet, and his eye -glass
oecasionally lifted (for he had lost an
eye; and a correspondent of mine, who
had married one of his grand -daughters,
has the eye -glass,) asking. "Who is this
Robert Burns ?"
Burns and Mary parted on the 14th
May,1786,at a secluded spot on the north
bank of the Ayr, just where the " burn"
Palle empties its waters into the larger
stream. They exchanged Bibles --Burns
giving her a somewhat handsome pock-
et Bible in two volumes, and she be-
stowing on him, a plainer copy in one
volume; and then they lifted water in
their hands -standing on opposite sides
of the little Stream -and vowed to love
while woods grew and water ran I"
All this seems Highland, rather than
Lowland, 9,nd was probably at. Mary's
suggestion.
Then she went home to Campbell -
town to see her people, and make pre-
parations for her marriage. Meantime
things were going hard with Barns. fie
got 612 copies of his poems printed in a
little boek,atKiInaarnock,and managed to
dispose of them, having secured between
300 and 400 subscribers before he went
to press with it. And he was now
making serious preparations to go to
the West Indies. But his muse was
very active this summer. In April he
wrote the "Mountain -Daisy then
"The Lament," To Ruin,' "‘ Again
Rejoieing Nature Sees ;" and in May,
"1 Lang hae Tlaocht my Youthirf
Friend," and a number of other pieces
through the slimmer.
Burns was a voluminous correspond-
ent. How many letters he wrote to
Mary will never be known -nor what
was in them! More the pity!
Mary had but one sister, Agnes or
"Annie," in 1786, twelve years old.
Annie, at the age of nineteen, married
James Anderson. She had two daugh-
tare ; and like her mother, she called
her girls "Mary" and " Annie." Mr.
Turnball, of Rothesay, who still sur-
vives, was the husband of this latter
Annie. He says to me, in letters 1 have
in my possession, that his wife told him
that when her aunt, Highland Mary,
died, the father burnt everything Mary
possessed that had any connection with
Barns. "And," he adds, "she said
there were a great many things." The
parents had probably heard bad reports
of Burns, and were bitterly opposed to
the match. What so likely, therefore,
as Mary to make a confidante of sister
Annie? Annie could sing ; the mother
could sing ; and I think I am justified
in fading to the known history of Mary
the reasonable conclusion that she also
could sing, Did Burns send Mary songs
or snatches of song, that summer? I
answer, "yea ;" bat I cannot recover
them 1 They cracked under Peter
Macpherson's kail-pot, iat Greenock, for
a moment, and then were gone forever!
Whether these letters contained any-
thing not otherwise preserved, I cannot
tell. Judging from Burns' habit of
writing, I should incline to the opinion
that they did not probably contain any
entire songs unknown to 118 ; but that
they did contain snatches and verses we
would give maeh to recover!
One of Annie Campbell's grand-
daughters, now living in Chicago, tells
me that when she (the granddaughter)
waa a very little child, the poet Mother-
well came to her mother's house to
make enquiries about Highland Mary.
"What did Mary look like ?" and
"what was the color of her hair ?"
" Iler hair was just like that," the
mother said, pointing to her child (my
correspondent.) Asking the mother's
leave, he reverently severed a little lock
and pat it in his pocket. The same
lady says her grandmother (Highland
Mary's elder) used to sing to her ehilcle
ren pieces of songs which Burns had
written in his letters to Mary. Wil-
liam Anderson, one of Annie Campbell's
tions,, who died in the Province of On-
tario'twelve years ago, gave, or repeat-
ed, too Motherwell -so my Chicago cor-
respondent tells fne-some of these songs
or snatches. Motherwell died. soon af-
ter ; and whether these were included
in Hogg's and Motherwell's edition of
Burns cannot now be known. I have
anxiously inquired of William Ander-
son's children, If there were any papers
of such nature left by him. But noth-
ing of the kind now exists. Neither
Annie nor her children had ever reduced
them to writing.
As might be expected, no portrait of
Highland Mary exists. We cannot
therefore have " her likeness." But we
can, in some measure, answer the ques-
tion, "What did Highland Mary look
like ?"
Of her sister Annie's two daughters,
the eiciest, Mary, was not only a name -
mike, but a perfect presentment of her
ciilebrated relative. Thus " .Elighland
Mary the Second" was so esteemed all
her life. Her sister, vsho became Mrs.
Turnbull, of Rothesay, did not resemble
Highland Mary. Now, by a fortunate
turn of affairs, I got hold, among her
Canadian relatives, of an old a.mbro-
type of this second Highland Mary.
But alas ! she was no longer young and
beautiful, when the photographic art
Coughs,
Colds Croup
s Lung Balsam was introduced I mportant
to the public after its merits for the positive
cure of such diseases had. been fully tested.
It excites exffpectoration and causes the Lungs
to throw o the phlegm or mucus; changes
the secretions and purifies the blood ; heals
a the irritated parts ; gives strength to the diges-
tive organs; brings the liver to its proper
action, and. imparts strength to the whole system. Such is the immediate and satisfactory
effect that it is warranted to breakup the most distressing cough
in a few hours' time, if pot oto longstanding. It contains no opium in any
form and is warranted to be perfectly rmless to the most delicate child. There is no
real necessity for so many deaths by consumption when Allen's Lung Balsam will pre -
„vent it if only taken in time. For Consumption, and all diseases that lead to %such as
-Coughs, neglected Colds, Bronchitis, Astinnakand all diseases of the Lungs, ALLEN'S
LUNG BAnsniq is the Great Modern Relnedy. For Croup and Whooping Cough
it is almost a specific. It is an old standard
remedy, and sold universally at 50 cents en. and $1.0o per bottle. The e5 -cent bottles
are put out to answer the constant call .

B
the original Highland. Maty, and pos-
sesses the same " sparkling glance" that
Burns speaks of regarding his Highland
Mary.
All that I can further recover con-
cerning Burns' Highland Mary is, that
she was of good height, florid complex-
ion, bright blue eyes, very light hair -
flaxen, and of a gentle, retiring dispo-
sition.
Her father never relented towards
Burns. The mother did. She used to
sing to her grandchildren Burns' song,
"Highland Mary." The _story- in the
family is, that the mother never sew
Burns but once; but she did see him.
He' begged, with the tears running
down his face, a handkerchief or some
little token of Mary ; but she denied
him. Long afterward, when asked if
she thought Burns and Mary would have
been happy together, she used to reply,
"1 dinna ken how my sweet lassie could
hae gotten on wi.' sae wild and profane a
man !" But then she would add, as she
remembered the interview she once had
with him, He was al real warm•heart-
ed chiel !"
The old lady died in 1824. Her two
granddaughters, Annie's children, had
been both mareied earlier in the year.
Sometime before this the grandmother
made them , a present each, of one of
Burns bibles -the old man had not
burned these -(a Scotchman will not
burn a bible!) Se said to thern,"Now,
lassies, when yon come to be married,
ye can sell these for as muckle as will
get baith o' ye a ,chest of drawers." One
of the bibles had in it a lock of Mary's
hair. Their brother, -William Ander-
son, before he emigrated to America in
1832, bought the bibles from his sisters
for each. He wandered about Can-
ada and the United States, and spent
all his money. Then he wrote to John
C. Beckett, printer, Montreal, (wile was
his brother-in-law) "if it would be
wrong for him to sell Burns' bibles?"
Mr. Becket, in conjunction with Rollo
Campbell, Mr. Weir, of the Heraid, and
other Scotchrnen in Montreal, made up
$100, and:sent him for the volumes., and
then sent them with the precious lock of
flaxen hair, to the Provost of Ayr, for
the use of the public. They were form-
ally placed in the Burns monurnont, at
Doon, on the poet's birthday, 25th Jan-
uary, 1841, where they are now to be
seen. Mr. Turnbull writes me, that the
lock of hair is somewhat faded since it
left his house, more than fifty years ago.

The old Woman, as long as she lived,
never wearied speaking of Mary's good
qualities. Her sincerity was that she
most spoke of. I have eofnewhere met
the remark of Mrs. Macpherson, in
whose house Mary died, that "she was
an ringel in the house, among the child-
ren She had just -nursed her brother,
Robert, through an attack of fever, in
Macpherson's house in Greenock, and
took it herself and died . at the end of
October, 1786. Her remains are in
West Kirk yard, 'close to the Clyde. In
1842 a pretentious sculpture was placed
over her grave, bearing the inscription :

Post and Bail People.
A friend. of mine says thero are two
sorts of people itt the world-" posts,"
and "rails," and a good many more rails
than posts. The meaning of this is that
most people depend on somebody else -
a father, a sister, al husband, wife, or
perhaps on a neighipor.
Whether it is tight to divide the
whole population of the earth quite so
strictly, it is true that we all:know a
good many rail like people. Blanche
Evans tells me one of the Railgirls its
by her in school. Mies Rail never had
a knife of hsr own though she used a
sort of a pencil that continually neede
sharpening; so Blanche's pretty pen
knife was borrowed until one day th
Rail -girl snapped. the blade. Blanch
was so tired of lending the knife the.
she was not very sorry.
Miss Rail's brother works be,sid

Henry's patience is sorely tried by Mas

whether the 118 doubled in model whe

The truth is the Rail -boy doesn't t
to remember these things, he has Wee
Henry for a post and expects to be lael
up by him.
Being a post is often unpleasant, b
how much worse it is to be a rail 1 Th
Post can stand by itself -but take
'away and where is the rail ? Boys an
girls have this adventsge over a woode
fence -if they fear that they are rail
they can set about turning themeelv
into posts at once, and they will fin
