This winter, too, molds the record for cold, last month's average temperature of 13.9 degrees above having been only once beaten, and that over half a century ago, in 1857 when January averaged one degree colder. Last night was also the coldest night this winter, the next coldest day being on January 13th. when the mercury went down to 11.7" The probabillities are: "Fine and very cold today and tomorrow, with light local snow." </div> <div class="mw-parser-output"> {News paper clipping attached} </div> <div class="mw-parser-output"> {postcard attached.

His parents were peasants of the poorest class, but eager for the moral and intellectual advancement of their children, they lost no opportunity for supplying them with the rudiments of education. Robert, in the intervals of driving the plow and other farm work soon acquired a good knowledge of English, chiefly through reading the Bible, Mason's "Collection of Prose and Verse", the "Life of Hannibal" and the history of Sir William Wallace. Later in life he attempted to learn French and Latin without much success. He and his brother Gilbert were employed by their father as regular labourers, at F7 per annum, until Robert's 19th year, when he went to school at Kirkoswald to learn surveying. During this time he wrote and had printed some of the poems in which he manifested that deep fountain of pathos and humor that was soon to make him famous throughout Great Britain. The poetry of Burns appeals to the human heart. It is so full of passion, so instinct with melody, so true to nature, so artless in grace, that every one must be touched either by its pathos, its beauty or its mirth. <h2>HIGHLAND LADDIE.</h2> I. The boniest lad that e'er I saw - Bonie laddie, Highland laddie! Wore a plaid and was fu' braw- Bonnie Highland laddie! On his head a bonnet blue- Bonnie laddie, Highland laddie! His royal heart was firm and true- Bonnie Highland laddie! II. Trumpets sound and cannons roar, Bonnie lassie, Lawland lassie! And a' the hills wi' echoes roar, Bonie Lawland lassie! Glory, Honor, now invite Bonnie lassie, Lawland lassie! For freedom and my King to fight, Bonnie Lawland lassie! III. The sun a backward course shall take, Bonnie laddie, Highland laddie! Ere aught thy manly courage shake, Bonnie Highland laddie! Go, for yoursel' procure renown, Bonnie laddie, Highland laddie, And for you lawful King his crown, Bonnie Highland laddie! </div> UG Transcription Progress Scripto transcription progress Done transcribed https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/4b99b0f804c61300fc1f6d7c86878eae.pdf 5d0f0a3962a2122b5d8864c6f0180d3b Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.
