Uncle Andrews Romance.

Uncle Andrew sat leaning his elbows
on the table, supporting his head on his
hand. Traces of fresh tears were upon
his cheeks, and his eyes were fixed on the
ivory miniature which lay before him,
depicting, as saw by the glimpse which
I caught Of it, a bright girlish face of
SURPRISING beauty.

Uncle Andrews private griefs when

griefs, he was 50 cheerful and pleasant,

The false is fairer than the true, Behold
Yon cloudy giant on the hills supine!-
The figure of falsehood that doth shine,
Armored and helmeted, in such gold
As in the marts was never bought or sold,-
Giant and armor the exalted sign
OF shapes less glorious and tints less fine
OF forms of truth outmatched thousand fold!
All, Poesie! Thou charmer and thou cheat!
Painting for eyes that fill with happy tears,
Dull, earthly forms in heavenly atmospheres!
How dost thou shame the truth, till it appears
Less lovely far than that divine deceit!

make balloon excursion from the garden
The wind was blowing almost gale. The

medical assistance was summoned. Williams
