Hav- ing “pocketed, all expenses deduct- ed, nearly £20,” Burns took a final farewell of his friends. He says: “My chest was on my way to Greenock vfhen a letter from Dr. Blacklock (of Edinburgh) to a friend of mine overthrew all my schemes by opening up new prospects to my poetic ambition.”” “© ‘His fame was, in fact, spreading rapidly. Farm laborers and servant girls expended their hardly earned ‘wages on the purchase of his poems, and the name of the ‘Ayrshire Plowman”’ began to be noised among members of wealthier and more cul- tivated circles. The first person to extend to him the right hand of fel- lowship was Dugald Stewart; the ‘second was Mrs, Dunlop. Their friendship came with all the charm of anovelty which is'‘yet notstrange, but supplies a long felt though in- definable need, while, in the latter case, Burns’ proud and independent spirit was gratified by the knowl- edge that the obligation was not all on bis side, but that Mrs. Dunlop and her friends had reason to be in- | debted to his poet's spells, . After two winters spent in Edin- burgh, which seem to have given the poet more disappointment and disgust than gratification, Burns married ‘‘his Jean’ and settied at Ellisland, an upland farm on the Dalswinton estate, six miles from Dumfries. To this Ellisland period —that is, from 1788 to 1791—most of the unpublished letters to Mrs. Dun- lop belong. They are chiefly inter. views on his excise post and his dis- taste to farming. There were bad times inthe cichteenth as in the nineteenth a ae and ing letter of March 25, 1789, wo hear Burns raising the a customary com- pilaint: “Madam, I had two plans of life bdfore me—the excise and farming. I thought by the glimmering of my own prudence the excise was my most eligible scheme, but all my great friends, and particularly you, were decidedly, and therefore decid. |ed me, for ‘farming. . My master, Mr. Miller, out of a real though mistaken benevolence, sought me usly out to set mein this farm, ad hé said, to give me a leaso which wiuld make me comfortable jand easy.

Lovelace of this city, who recently returned from the intercon- tinental railway survey through _| Central and South America, says one of the most. interesting things to be seen in the tropics is the leaf carry- ing ant. © “The leaf carrying ant is peculiar to tropical America. The twospecies }ocoupy different nests. They are never seen in the same roadways, and they always eater different holes, but these ants are such great burrowers that one could not say positively that the formicaries do not communicate with each other| under ground. Their holes do not cross, and there isnocommunication | between the holes aboye ground. As ah experiment, members of one col- ony were transferred by band to the path of another. There was no con- flict. The strangers merely made | haste to get’ away. “Both species,'’’ continued Mr. Lovelace, ‘‘have the same habits, save that the red fellows are the of the afternoon, while the red ones struggled along ‘all day, although there were fewer workers to be seen in the paths between 12 and 4 o'clock. : There being: no trees on ants, they gathered bay instead. A grass that grew close to the earth just coming in tassel. The seed beads were jast peeping out from their in- folding leaves when I was there, and these heads of seed were the favor. ite harvest. - “T saw half inch ants carrying seed stalks an inch long and of twice the weight of the carrier. They also cut off the grass leaves and carried them in, while moist érumba of bread and vegetables were cut up and carried also. Very dry crumbs were ignored. I did not see them carry meat of any kind, and when I puta piece of freshly killed grass- hopper in their path they refused ‘to notice it.. But certain bits ci damp, rotien wood Were Curtin a.0 the nests as quickly as soft bread. “A peon who came to see what I Mi | | found of interest in the little work- ers dropped a flaming wax match |} among them. They did not seem to see it, for they rushed into the flame as they would have crossed a bit of paper. A number were burned to death, while many of them were crippled before the flame was extin- guished. The dead and the crippled remained in the path perhaps two minutes at a spot five feet from the nest entrance. Then came a gang of workers from the nest, who picked up the dead and the crippled and carried them several inches. away in- tothe grass at right angles to the ‘path. The wounded were left unat. tended, as were the dead. The work. ers then attacked the extinguished . match taper. It was nearly an inch long, and a dozen (by count) took hold of it, pulled it in all directions at once, rolled it and one ancther over, stood on their heads and crawl. ed under it, while the leaf carriers streamed by and over them, ap. parently heedless of their presence. It was acase of wholly undirected .| labor, for any two, possibly any one, could have dragged it from the.path, bat if took the dozen 15 minutes to tumble it across two inches of the path. “While.in Honduras an ireaices told me that the leaf cutting ant was to blame for much of the laziness of the natives, who do not try to make gardens or cultivate fruit trees be cause the ants destroy everything of that kind. However, the American solved the problem of keeping these wae away from his garden by dig- itch.around it and.
