      Burns Night provides a cultural focus for Scots and an excuse for non-Scots to sample haggis and a few drams to celebrate the bard’s birthday. Born in Alloway on 25 January 1759, Burns was something of a lothario. He sired 12 children, only nine of w

      THE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING.

      we's stuffed you long 'nuff; got to stuff ourselves to-morrow.

      [Begun in No. 1 of Harper's Young People, Nov. 4.]

      THE BRAVE SWISS BOY.

      III.—THE CHAMOIS-HUNTERS.

      Early the next morning the door of the little mountain cottage grated on its hinges, and Mr. Seymour entered the small apartment, eagerly welcomed by Walter, who ran forward to meet him.

      What! you are up already, my boy, and as fresh and lively as if nothing had happened! said he. I fully expected to find you knocked up and ill after all the exertion and fatigue of yesterday; but I am glad to see that you are so much stronger than I gave you credit for. How is your back, though, Walter? Don't the wounds made by the vulture's claws pain you very much?

      They were very sore last night, Sir, replied the boy; but father bound them up nicely for me, and says they will be much better in a week.

      Delighted to hear it. But where is your father? I don't see him.

      He is outside. Sir, with Liesli, the cow that we recovered through your kindness, replied Walter, with a grateful look. She is the best cow in the valley.

      Ah, here comes your father, said Mr. Seymour, with a smile, stepping forward to grasp the hand which Toni Hirzel held out toward him, while thanking him in hearty but simple words for the kindness he had shown to his boy.

      Don't mention it, my friend. What I gave to the boy was given very willingly, and he has richly earned not only that, but a few francs more, which I am still owing him. But we will square accounts now. Here, Walter; there is forty francs for the old vulture which you captured so bravely; and here is another sixty francs for the torn trousers and the knife you lost.

      With these words Mr. Seymour counted out five bright gold pieces on the table, to the wonderment of Toni Hirzel and his son, neither of whom could utter a word.

      But, Sir, exclaimed Walter, finding his voice at last, the vulture, the trousers, and the knife all put together are not worth twenty francs!

      They are worth more to me, replied the gentleman, and you must allow me to pay for them according to my opinion of their value. So make no more words about it, my boy, but put the money in your pocket. I hope it may prove useful to you.

      Tears started into Walter's eyes. Oh, father! he exclaimed, "only look at all this money! We shall
