And heavy lids have ceased to wink,

The Albany Journal says that Tilden sent
the following valentine TO his hopeful
nephew
Dear nephew mine, scapegoat beyond COM
pare.
Who on thy shoulders took the awful blame
Of crooked cyphering to save my name,
And keep it pure, untarnished, passing fair,
Thou art my Valentine beyond compare!
Fen as bold Eneas from the flames OF Troy
Bore off his sire, like real good boy,
SO thou for uncle's SAKE did grandly dare;
The world nobler sight will never see
Than thee, o Pelton, singing on thy shOul-

Ny aged form, the form, tie form Of S. j. T
And in the sight of each enthused beholder
A la 4Eneas, thy tall form uploeming,
Guarding your unclc's head from flames con-
