The most magnificent compliment ever paid by man to woman is undoubtedly Steele's to the Lady Elizabeth Hastings. 'To love her, wrote he, 'is a liberal education. As much might surely be said of Shakespeare. But what are the facts the ugly, hateful facts?
She was not looking at that man now, but I was. As these words left her lips, Mr. Steele's hand crept up and closed over his heart, though his face was like that of a marble image set in immovable lines.
Of the relations between Steele and Addison, and the origin of Steele's "Tatler," which was developed afterwards into the "Spectator," account has already been given in the introduction to a volume of this Library, * containing essays from the "Spectator" "Sir Roger de Coverley and the Spectator Club."
The Silver Wave, Captain McMillan, the same that was with us up Steele's Bayou, passed safely, and she also rendered good service afterward.
About sixty miles up Steele's Bayou we came to the gunboat Price, Lieutenant Woodworth, United States Navy; commanding, and then turned into Black Bayou, a narrow, crooked channel, obstructed by overhanging oaks, and filled with cypress and cotton-wood trees. The gunboats had forced their way through, pushing aside trees a foot in diameter.
Within an hour after receiving this order Steele's division was on the road. At the same time I dispatched to Blair, who was near Auburn, to move with all speed to Edward's station. McClernand was directed to embrace Blair in his command for the present. The 15th corps, when it got up, would be on our extreme right.
In this portion many overhanging trees will have to be removed, and should be dragged out of the channel. Very respectfully, U. S. GRANT, Major-General. On returning to my camp at Young's Point, I started these two boats up the Yazoo and Steele's Bayou, with the Eighth Missouri and some pioneers, with axes, saws, and all the tools necessary.

"Hullo!" exclaimed Tom to Ruth, as they began to get into good stroke for the girl was an apt pupil "who is that old Bobbins has got under his wing?" "Who is Bobbins?" asked Ruth, with a laugh. "My bunkie that's what we call our chums at Seven Oaks. Bob Steele." "Madge Steele's brother?" "Yes. And no end of a good fellow," declared Tom. "But, my aunt! don't his sister rig him, though?
"How scrumptious you look, Nell!" cried her brother, kissing her frankly. "Here is Bob Steele I want you to know him. He's my bunkie at Seven Oaks. Isn't his sister with you Madge Steele?" "Yes. Miss Steele's here," gasped Helen. "But where's Ruth?" demanded the excited Tom. "Come on and get her. We want to get our skates on and make for the steamer. The ice is like glass."
