Burns and Tam Samson, Tam Samson was a gray haired veteran sportsman, who on one occasion, when out=moorfowl shooting: and feeling the wefght of years begin to press upon him, expressed the belief that the expedition was to be his last and desired, in somewhat tragic style, that he might die and be buried in the moors, Burns, hearing of this, immediately composed his famous elegy, in which he related at length the exploits and skill of his hero, ending each verse with the plaintive line, “Tam Samson’s dead.” Some one having told Samson that Burns had written a poem—“a gey queer ane”—about him, he sent for the poet and in something like wrath asked him to read what he had written. Os hearing the recital of his exploits he smiled grimly and seemed by no means. displeased. “But,” he exclaimed, “I’m no’ dead yet, Robin. Wherefore should ye say that I’m dead?” Burns retired for a few minutes; then he returned and recited. to Tam the following verse, which he had composed in the intsgval; ~ j PER CONTRA.

An Arab's Parlor. , A woman traveler in Egypt is amazed at the dearth of the ‘hatives’ house. hold goods, says a correspondent of the Chicago News. There is little furniture because the Arab needs little. His life is spent out of doors, and he can sleep {m any handy gutter as peaceably and happy as a child, while most of his meals are eaten in the open air. In one exceptionally luxurious house. that of a charwoman, the traveler found a parlor. It was regarded as a sort of shrine by Fatima. She had made it a fetich, devoting to its embellghment all the money she could spare and sacrificing to it even her children’s wants. The visitor was shown through a broken down doorway into a squalid passage, where two rooms at eitlier end revealed perspectives of greater squalor beyond. Children teemed from every entrance. Arrived at the holy of holies, the door had to be unlocked. It was a brand new Birmingham lock. Distant Manchester had supplied a carpet blazing with roses and small cretun curtains of brilliancy to match. Such things are in Cairo called“‘fellah” (vulgar), as none but fellahin are found to be purchasers of them, but poor Fatima’s horrors are not yet quite catalogued. Krom some common shop In the ‘Muski she had captured two or three glass vases, and in them—the last touch of triumph—were artificial flowers. The Track Foreman.
