At my earliest- recollection I was an
inmate of, my uncle's humble but
happy ?home. A' was a little brown
cottage situated, in a grove of elms
with a broad open space.in front -and
a grand 6l'd forest stretubing for miles
behind. Not far distant'was the lit.

-Of tsgn I kneyiop pantiely

but generous and noble-hearted-rman,
and was to me, the kindest of fathers.'
My aunt-yas a fair, fragile wotaan
who had well supplied -a . mother's
place to the peun.iless'orphan eow'mit
ted to her care. She -had show4 - me
all the tender love that a parent be-.
stows upon her ofipring and" in her'
heart, I h.Nid. a place second only to
my uncle's, for of. her numneronsa oli
