Tennyson and Truth.

One Of the pleasantest things that
Tennyson's niece has to say Of him is
this: II think no man that ever lived
came nearer than he did to perfect
truthfulness. He was often a martyr
to his determination never to say any
thing that was not strictly and abso-
iutely true, for none could be more
sensitive than he was about paining
people, and yet he would discard ali
smooth speeches that would have given
pleasure, but would not have been
quite sincere, and would just say right
out the wholesome, though sometimes
unpalatable, truth instead, feeling utter
ly miserable for days afterward. with
the fear that In this moral surgery he
had not handled the knife as gently as
he might have done. Unless by his
keeping silence the cause Of truth
would have suffered, he would never
mention any matter that might injure
u single human being, and he always
put the best construction upon peo-
pies words and actions. ' He was
always far more severe with himself
than with others and would bitterly
reproach himself for being brusque III
manner to untactful strangers and for
allowing fits of depression to get pos
session of him at times"
