THE POET BURNS
The last number of the New York Knicker-
bocker, which, way, we consider one of
the most ably conducted periodicals in the country,
contains the following interesting passages in the life
of Nature's and Scotia’s Bard, Robert Burns.
They are from the pen of an intimate friend of
the poet, and will be eagerly perused by his nume-
rous admirers.
Burns began to write, or rather compose poetry,
early. Love first called forth his song. He was
alway s, says K—, in lore, and he did not, in all
instances, evince much taste in his choice of objects.
‘Some of his Emeetest canes,’ in the language of
y infurmant, ‘were sed to raw Scotch
lasees, ye wad never dream 0° admiring.”
weeks usually sufficed to dethrone the reigning em-
press of a heart ordinarily as fickle as it wae us
ceptible: but the warm temperament of t) oet
admitted of no interregnum. Mr. ‘Silla, (David

friend, obin would chase away after the first
lassie who chanced to cross their path—he would
approach and enter into conversation with ber, al-
though a perfect stranger ;’—and if she chanced to
blank range of the heaviest metal? and in nar
rating it, we come to one of the most Painfully i in-
terestiing epochs of his life. Burns, now in his
twenty-third or twenty-fourth year, ie we recollect
aright, cultivated a farm, (Mosegiel,) in connexion
is younger brother Gilbert. His visits to
Mauchline made him acquainted with Miss oe
Armor, his future wife, who, though the daugh-
ter of a poor tailor, in an obscure Beoteh rile,
united personal charms to intelligence and virtues,
which polished by subsequent intercourse with so-
ciety, rendered er—not the ever-recurring cause
of that blueh of intense mortibe cation too often felt
by the husband who has been successful in elevat-
ing himeelf and his partner above their native
sphere, without being able to infuse into his dour-
geois alter ego sentiments and manners correspond-
ing with the e ebange—but the accomplished and ele-
vated woman who was the sou;
