Burn’? Birthday—Lecture at Btuinway Hall by Dr. Anniversary of Last Evenins Osgood. Last evening, under the auspices of the Burns Club, au oration was delivered at Stemmway Hail by Dr. Sawnel Oagood, in celebraion of the anniversary of the birthday of Robert Burns, There wes nota very large audience, owing, probably, to the unfa- vorable character of the weather; but, though num- bers Were wanting, there was no dearth of enthusl- asm. Aiter an air or two had been played on the bag- pire, and Mr. Morgan, the well known organist, had given “Home, Sweet Home,” Mr, WiLLIAM CULLEN BRYANT was appointed to preside, In taking the chair he said that in this tme of great and rapid changes it was pleasing to Ox our attention on thicgs that bere a certain characier of permanence, The spirit of change respected neliner crowns hor Waras, nor usages nor Institutions of however venerable an age. But amid these convuisions they were assembled to celebrate, not the birth of a statesman or a general, but of a lowly peasant Im an humbie cottage m a secluded ge of Bcouand—one who lived a short life and wrote verses, aud passed to a premature grave. The j ‘‘Ootter's Saturday Night’? would be read and “Auld Lang Syne” vecitea when the Emperor Napetcon would be remembere? only as . A FOOLISH TYRANT. Burns took the themes of his verse from com- men tie; he took the werds aud parases of tue household, and breathea mto them a life and soul tnat inade them part of that Literature which lived from age to age, ‘The Rey. br.

He was very well educated, and thouzh obiiged to doa man’s labor at filteen years of age he sili continued his studies, His brether Giibert 18 said in those earlier days to have looked move like a poet than Robert. But who couid tell tvom tue boy’s free what the man was going to be? It was but, perhaps, right that he who was lo the poet of labor should himself fellow the plough and learn in sufferng what he atterwards taughi to all ages in song. Burns does not seem to have looked’ very cheerfully back at his early deys of toil and labor, Which he described as “tne toil of nts galley slave. ‘His iirst lay was a lay of love, and was Inspired by a BONNIE, SONSIE LASS; and from that time his muse never deserted that form of composition, provably because he was always afier wards in love. Nearly all his best poems were composed in @ perioa of about teen monibs, fier the publication of his first volume of poems he became famous, and there opened before hun & ew career, and be became a man of affairs, aud to some extent aman of the world. Dr. Osgood then carried forward his biography to his death in 1796, when he owed the world thirty pounds ster- ling, and the world owed hin a debt which the re- #pect and gratitude of ages yet (o come would not repay. For three-quarters of a century bis Hie had been subjected to the elogest scrutiny of the ablest critics, ‘The estimate of the ESSENTIAL WORTH OF THE MAN had, however, enly risen with time. He was shown Lot been full of kindnesd and truth, an entiust- astic friend of {redom, a champion of the oppressed, a kind father and husband aud never a scoffer at God or the Christian religion, And whatever may have been his failings, he was propably less guilty Uian the average cf men and perhaps even 6&8 Carlyle said, “A man less guilty than one in ten thousand.” Be was one of tie representative men of that great eighteenth century, which was a cen- tury of revolutions in behalf of WHE RIGHTS OF MAN. Burns had much ot the restless and stormy spirit of his time. He iretied ana chafed at tbe chaims of conventional society. Lut he had no respect for the lnob spirit, aud his love of liberty was not dissoct- ated from his lore of law. In religion he had a retiy sharp quarrel with the Clergy round him, but ¢ had given, especia'iy in bis “Cotter’s ae Mahi,” a charming picture of the beanty o: a rell- gous and orderly iife. His convictions, however, Came more from a deep spiritof reverence than from any very close study of reveated religion. Robert Burns was tn his way a born} prince, aud he sicove to win his crown irom a bard, grasping world. Ho represented, therefore, what was perhaps the most irequent form of traedy in those times—that of A man of great sensibility condemned to a life of Limited pees Dr. Osgood concluded by an elequent tribute to ihe gentus of the poet. Mooie had been called the greatest. of song writers. But Byron had compared him to Catullus and others to Anacreon, whereas Burns stood alone in the majesty of trium- phant and unique powers Vide OF THE PEOPLE.
