Proving the likeness

There lived in Brussels celsbratcd
painter, named Wiertz, who's eeccentrici-
ties ere such as to give him the name of
the crazy artist That there was method
in his madness, the following, anecdote
shows:
After having finished portrait of the
old aristocratic Countess de- ~ who
pretended to be only thirty when nearly
sixty, she refused to accept the painting,
saying that it did not look anything like
herself, and that her most intimate
friends would not recognize 4 single fca-
ture of her on that piece of canvas.
Wiertz smiled kindly at the remark,
and as true knight of old, gallantly re-
conducted the lady to her carriage.
Next morning there was a grand dis
turbance i'll the Rue de la Madeleine. A
big crowd was gathered before a window,
and the tolloaing words were whispered
from ear to ear: ~ 4r ~
"Is the Countess de-. really. in
Jail for her debts2'
Wiertz had exercised little vengeance
towards his noble but unfair customer.
AS soon as she had refused the portrait,
he set to work and painted a few iron
bars on the picture, with these words:
"In jaiI for debt!" - $a1tA'
He exhibited the painting IN jewel

SEPTEMBER.

The goldon-rod is yellow;
The corn is turning brown;
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.
The gentian's bluest fringes,
Are, curling in the sun;
In dusty pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun.
The sedges tlauut their harvest
In every shady nook;
And asters by the brook-side
Make asters in the brook.
From dewv lanes at morning
The grapes sweet 0dors rise;
AT noon the roads all flutter
With yellow butterflies.
BY all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summers best Of weather,
And autumn's best of cheer.
But mono of all this beauty
Which floods the earth and air,
Is unto me the secret
Which makes September fair.
IT'S thing which remember;
To name it thrills me yet;
. One day, of one September,
never can forget.
