THE BIRTHPLACE OF BCRJIS.

BT KOBKKT G IJfGERSOLU Though Scotland boasts a thousand names Of patriot, king and peer, The noblest, grandest of them all Was loved and cradled here. Here lived the gentle peasant-prince, Thelovlngcotier-klng, Compared with whom the greatest lord Is bat a titled thing. Tls 1ut a cot rooted In with straw, A hovel made of clay; One door shut oat the mow and storra. One window greets the day. And yet 1 stand within this room And hold all throne in scorn, For here, beneath this lowly thatch, Love'i sweetest bard was born. Within this hallowed hut I feel Lide one who clasps a shrine. When the glad lips at last have touched The something deemed divine. And here the wor.d through all the years. As long as days returns, The tribute of its love and tears Will lay to Robert Burns. ELSIE CROFT. i. "When John Croft, the curate of RowanJale, died and was carried to the quiet churchyard, whither his wife had preceded him some six years before, his only daughter, Elsie, then 12 years old, went to live with her Uncle Vcorge at the High farm, Rowanla!e. John Croft had come of humble ttoek, and the fquire had paid for his schooling and afterward t-upported him at college, so that even when he was ordained and obtained the curacy of his native place the people always "reckoned him," as they said, one of themselves. Xor did the quiet curat? give himself aty airs. He was a modest uirafsii ruing man with a far off look in his evts, much given to solitary strolls on the ruoow winch encircled Kowandale, and in no way inclined to plume himself on his educational advantages. He teemed to yalue them mainly because be was able to teach his little Elsie more than she could learn at the village school, and at the age of twelve she was considered in the primitive hamlet "quite a scholar." But there came the day when father and daughter, master and pupil, had to part, and very bitter it was to both of them. It seemed to Kisie, when the freshly cut sods were ranged upon her father's grave, as if all the brightness s had been taken out of the world. The very heather stemed to have lost its color, and the sunlight scarcely shone upon the far-off sea as of old. She went contented enough, however, to her Uncle George's, and he and his wife, Aunt Jans, a good, motherly woman, were very kind to the orphan girl. True, she had to work autf help in the hooe just as their own daughter, her cousin, id, for Uncle George had a hard task to make a living out of the High Farm, situated as it was on the edge of the moor and consisting mainly of very unproductive land. And doubtless the active housework kept her from brooding over her father's death, while the fresh moorland air and invigorating breezes from the distant sea brought a brighter flash of health to her cheek. Still the girl had thoughts and aspirations which no one in the humble farm bouse could share, feelings she inherited from her father, who had inspired her with a passionate love for poetry, and she orten had strange dreams of the wonderful world outside of the circle of moorland, and of the still more marvellous regions visited by the white sailed ships which so otten Hashed across the horizon, lessened by the distance to the size of sea bird. Any oue looking at Elsie could see that she was a dreamer of dreams. Her face was rather of a Teuton'c type, with a fair, broad forehead, sleeply blue eyes aud very light hair, but the lower part showed more refinement than is usual with faces or such a type, having a well modeled mouth and tapering chin, such as those Sir Joshua loved to paint. For those who had eyes to see, it was the face of a poetess; dumb now. no doubt, Tor the child could not be said .to have completed Ler education, and it seemed hardly luely that her uncle and aunt would hate aDy niouey to spend. on such a luxury as mere schooling, waen it was a bard task to live. . - So E!sic Croft protrrsssed from maidenhood to womanhood, and but 'or an event which turned the whole current of her life, she minat have grown up a3 ignorant of the world and of its votaries -"ituiruxi ti the sonl with money bag and ledger" a-j the flowers that blossomed on the edge of thf iniinr ' It was the 12th of August, that day which i fnrkd with so white a ston in the calen dars of those fortunate men who are able to induce in erouse shooting. The High Farm, Rowandale. stood, as we have said, close to th mnnr which stretched for miles beyond it. and the inmates of the farm house could hear quite distinctly the fusilade which was kept up ail around them. Now and then. tH, mvevs nf erouse swept past the house with the wind, cr some wary old cock sailed iiv bv hiniaelf lone before either dog or vun ron'd tret near him. with w hat sounded fik k loud ehnkle at hit escape. Lite i i Jhe afternoon tae dwellers at the liu-h Farm wese startled to observe a group of men coming towards the house, evidently i':.iTvin .some burden among them. As it drrw near, it was plain an accident had happened, and George Crolt aud his wife, with tt.fir dan'hter and Klsie. were eathered-at the door when several game keepers came up, carry ing a young man ho bad fall n d- wnasteen scour, an 1 was stunned and 'ftnsfclfss. He was a Mr. Herbert Birtoo, j friend of the souire's. and they had hroueht him to the farm as the nearest house till a docior could be summoned Th Profts of course took the patient in. and were dtstined to shelter him for nntn time, for on the arrival of the doctor Herbert Barton to be suffer in" from severe concussion of the brain, and ui.i he vu on no account to be moved. For thr ft months the voung man hovered be tufxn life and death, aud during that time ENie nursed him with un weary patience, for it w.4 noon her that the special burden ot th.. nnrslnp fell. and. as the doctor told Hei hert Carton, he owed his recovery in afgreat measure lo his devoted nurse. W'e mav oass over the illness and come to the time when Herbert Barton was convalescent, and when in a few diys he was to be removed from the High farm to his own bouse. As may be imagined, considerable intimacy had sprung up between him and .rJaie Croft, and the young man was very anxious that the girl should have more op portunitiesof culture than seemed possible at the High farm. He took an intereat in her, he told himbelf, out ot gratitude; but, hardly known to him, a tenderer feeling was growing op in his breast, to continue or to die away, as fate might determine. As for Elsie herself, the intercourse with him and his conversation had been a revelation to her; be bad brought hr knowledge of the unknown wo Id for which she longed, and she felt as if it would be darkness again when he departed. Herbert Barton was sitting at the window, looking out on the moor, and leaning against the sash opposite to him stood Elsie. After looking at her in silence for a tew minutes the youn? roan said. "How would you like to leave the Hish Farm, Elsie, acd see something rf the world?" - i.m :.. Thft nue3tton chimed in o r,iw 1 , ... . i. r?tv, hop own mouenis mat uo seemed to have divined them by asking ft. I hould like to fee something of the world," she said, simply; ;'but as there - no exactly T a baa chanca for me, I try not to tnma aoou 1. -But snpp.:stng there was a chance? ELsie shook her head. "I all try and 1 ..t.r i with the moor and with Lowtiidile," she said, in rather desponding "von shall see more than Rowandal. if yon like," said the young man kindly. 1 Lve en oiler from my mother to take you 1 scmjnion, and let you ece little of the

world. You can have some lessons wiw my young sister," be added, smiling. Elsie started. The idea was quite new to her, aud at first sight seemed enchanting; but she had seen Herbert Barton's mother, a haughty, purse -proud woman, who had seemed to look upon the Crofts as almost savages, and she wondered how she bad come to consent to such an arrangement. She did not know until long after that it was only at Herbert's earnest entreaties that his mother had consented to what was in reality very distasteful to her, . But whatever Elsie thought herself she had no choice but to go. Her uncle and aunt were delighted, and were profuse in their thanks to Herbert and congratulations to Elsie. Farmer George drew some of bis hard earned money out of the savings batik, and what with that and some of the money young Barton had made them accept as a present, Elsie was fitted out becomingly, and her neighbors in Rowandale would hardly have recognized the moorland beauty could they have seen her on her way to Barton Towers. II. Elaie had longed for some experience of the world, and she straightway found herself, when transplanted to Barton Towers, in a circle which was the embodiment of worldHness. The Bartons were enormously rich manufacturers; in their eyes wealth was everything, and a check book, always provided the drafts drawn In it were honored, a passport to ail that was worth having in

A the world, their oniy regret Deing mat iuey could not add the world to come. The golden calf was -worshiped as obtrusively as if It bad been visibly set up in uie orauu new house, which proclaimed to all the country side how vast a sum of money Jeremiah Barton had made by his trade. To do Herbert Barton justice, he did not share the family failing; but his mother was purse proud enough for half a dozen upstarts, and the possession of ample means was in her eyes the highest possible ideal of life. As may be imagined, Mrs. Barton had not looked with favor upon Herbert's mad and o,uixotic scheme for so she termed it of bringing the little moorland gin to Barton Towers. Bat he was the only son, and sne could refuse him nothing; and Mr. Barton' was so occupied in money making that he hardly noticed who stayed at the howers at all. so long as the dinners were punctual and his letters arrived in gooa time in tne morning. The Towers was a magnificent building on the outskirts of a large manufacturing town. The people said Mr. Barton had built it close to the place In order to point it out to strangers with whom be happened to oe doing business. It was fitted up with every modern convenience, and it Is perhaps an necessary to add that it was ludicrously ugly. For a time Elaie got on very well at Barton towers. Her position was certainly a mtie anomolous, but Mrs. Barton behaved to liar with fair civility, and she was kindly . treated. This was mainly owing.it happened, to the fact that Herbert remained at home, still an invalid, and bis mother would have done anything to humor him. This strange fancy for the poor curate's daughter was one ot bis whims, ana nis motner was content to yield to it for a time, intending to make snort work ot jpoor usie as soon as Herbert was better and able to join bis regi ment in India. For Eli a herself Barton Towers possessed an attractloa which did not seem to be much appreciated by the other inmates. It had been represented to Air. uarmn, wnen ne became wealthy, that he ought to have a librarv. and he had accordingly ordered one of an eminent Londou bookseller just as he won Id order coa s. As long as the books were handsomely bound ke was contented; but bi order had been given to an intelli gent man. and the library had been wen furnished. Here Elsie spent most oi ner time among the books, which were more congenial companions than the gilded youths and maidens wbo rivalled aiisi jviimausegg from the neighboring town. There one day Herbert Barton found her, and as he looked at the fair heal bent earnestly over a book a certain indefinable feeling came over him which, not love exactly, was very near to it. It flashed across his mind that one day some lover would wish to win Elsie Croft; and although he was by no means certain of his own feelings j ust then, he instinctively aourished antagonism to her unknown SUlior. A man mav have that feeliDg and cot be really in love; but if he continue to give way to it he will nod himself very much so in a short t;me. He b.rt Barton would have bad plenty ot excuse had he lauen in love wiin n.isie. There is nothing which so improves a beau tiful tarse as cultura and study; and Lisie, with full opportunities for such pursuits, hitherto denied her. was developing into a very lovely woman. No matter, however. what his leelincs were, it wouia nave oecn impossible for him to have married then; his regiment was in India, and he was to join as soon as ever he was sufficiently convalescent The time had come and in a few days w would leave Barton Towers. Elsie sat like "the fair pupil of Ascham," with eyes bent on her book, and Herbert a entrancs rather startled her. Assuredly his first words did so. "Elsie," he said and though he imagined he had carefully guarded against it, there was an unusual tone of tenderness In his voice ''I sball not have another chance of steingjou alone, probably, before I .go, so I will say good by." She had nerved herself to hear this, but even with the re?olve"to hear it the an nouncement nearly stunned her. For, how ever Herbert Barton might feel towards her. Elsie Croft's heart bad gone out to him ever since the day when he was brought, bleeding and senseless to the High Farm. She ha I never thought tor an instant 01 its ueiDg re turned; it was merely a hopeless dream, one that she should cherish all ber life, but of which no realization was possible. And still her heart seemed to stop beating, and the blood to mount with a rush to the brain when Herbert Barton spoke of his departure. She looked up, and be could see the sweet mist in ber eyes as she raid, "I hope you are strong enougn to bear the voyage." "I sball take no barm." he said, "and I oaeht to go tbe moment I am able." And he added, rather unkindly, she thought. "Will voa miss me. Elsier' Would she miss him? Ah! bow her th robbing heart answered the question; but she mansged to answer quietly enough, "We shall all miss you." in another secooa ne w har vp nil with tears, and as she turned her head away he caught her in his . . . , , arms, and once, very tenueriy, aisocu ner. whisDerine. "Wait. Kisie. till l come dsck. and then be lett tbe room. and. as it hap pened, Elsie never saw him again before he sailed. He had said nothing but that, and yet a thrill of indescribable happiness run through her. Walt! Yes. she was content to do that until death itself. And if he should chance to never return she vowed to herfelf that no man's lips should rest where his had done for one bright bnet moment. III. Rome four vears had rolled by, and Elsie rwt had left Barton Towers and was now a porerness in a family at seaport town in the south of England. For nearly a year after Herbert left, Mra. Barton had allowed ber to remain at tbe Towers and obtained in her studies for her. 8he was not an unjust woman, and she thought so mtirh was due to Herberts plan. At tbe end of that tixe she made arrangements to nht.in a situation for Elsie, just as if that had hPin a settled thing from tbe first; and the girl passively asfented. She feittbat h. ..mild not eo back to be a burden to them at the nigh Farm, and she readily ac cepted the place Mrs. Barton louna ior ner. itfnr she left Barton Towers that astute lad j, wbo bad never mentioned Herbert except in tbe most casual wsy since he left, thought good, in case mere uug u uo ut lingering tenderness on either side, to administer both to Herbert and Elsie what she considered a kind of wholesome mental

medicine. She wrote to Herbert that Miss

Croft was going away, and that, from what she heard, Elsie would soon be married; excusing the statement to herself by the thought that to pretty a girl- was sure to nave many suitors, even though without a dowry. To Elsie she hinted, and that not obscurely, that on Herbert's return he was confiden tally expected to marry a cousin living near them, to whom indeed he bad been as good as engaged before be sailed. This disingenuous maoo?uvre did no good, it oniy maae tne two supposed victims of it very unhappy, though it was received on tne part ot both with incredulity, while her son, in addition. was very angry, and wrote her a letter which made her miserable for months. On the whole, there fore, she bad better not have meddled a fact she further realized hereafter. Elsie was contented enough in her new home. Her young charges were fairly in telligent children, and ber employers were on the wnou Kind to ner. true, tney Kept her quite in the background and apart from themselves, as if sne were hardly of the same race of beinp!. but she did not mind that. She continued her studies earnestly, and need we say it? she dreamt day and night of Herbert Barton. So some four years slipped away, and sbe had never beard anything of the mrtons or their fortunes, when she was startled by the announcement that a regiment was to arrive from India that morning the live Hun dredth and she knew it was the one to which Herbert belonged. She had followed its career through the mutiny with much anxiety, but had beard nothing of him, and now of a sudden be must be coming home. She wss to go with her pupils and the rest of the party to see the troops, and they accordingly found themselves one bright morning on a balcony which overioosea uie nrinrin:il street. A crash of martial mulie. the cheers of the people, the fluttering of flags, and the sound of the welcoming bells, and the gallant Five Hundredth tramp steadily forward. Beard 2d and bronzed warriors, these who have seen stern service in the mutiny, and assisted In the siege of Delhi, and loud are the acclama tions which erect them as they once more tread English ground. "Will he be here" is tne tnougui oi one beatine heart there in the angle of the bal cony, as she easrerly scans the serried ranks that pass beneath ber. mere is a momen tary obstruction, and the head of the col umn halts, while at the same time the sun. which had been obscured by a passing cloud, shines out brilliantly. A young officer niarchinz with his company, who has been lookinz rather listlessly at the crowds of strange faces, marks how the shaft of sunliebt strikes upon the vivid cold hair oi a girl above him, and as he looks up she turns aud sees him. "Elsie!" "Herbert!" That is all, and the column passes. He has come, then, and in that momentary glance she knows there is the love for which she has w.iited nAtientlv. What need to say more? Be sure Herbert lost no time in hading her out. Be sure. also, that his mother's maneuver failed, and that in after vears the little etri irotu tne High Farm ruled at Barton Towers. The re gard for constant and enduring love was theirs, sweeter for the patient time oi inai which had preceded it She had waited and be had won, and both experienced, to use a poet s language The heaven of happy hearU and faith un broken."
