Groaned aloud in mighty anguish, Once there lived near Anaskootic, Called upon the Hand to help him. In the shadow of the forests But the form of the white maiden Fainter grew among the cloud lights, By the side of the great river, Rising ever high and higher. A tall hunter, Musqueloowah. Thus the fairy vision vanished— Brave was he, and great of stature. Vanished with the clouds above him. So the maidens of the north tribes, And the Sun God, looking downward, All the dark-haired, bright-eyed maidons, Pitied his despairing struggles, Longed to live within his wigwam, Changed him to a mass of granite Longed to cook his fish and venison, Sighed to plant his corn and wild rice, In the bosom of the river. But his face was ever changeless, But not these pleased Musqueloowah. He no squaw brought to his wigwam, Ever lifted toward the heavens, Watching for the Hand that came not, Neither Tripping Toes, the mirthful; The White Hand of the Mist Maiden. No, nor Arwagar, the Hawk's child. Many bear skins had her father, Years passed by, and many changes Many mink, and many beaver; Came to man and came to nature. Rich he was and she his darling, All the dusky race of nations She, the fairest of all maidens. Passed away to other places. But our hunter cared not for her— And another race was seen here, Nor for any other maiden. Faces pale, and worn, and eager, Striving after gold or learning, But one day he, in mid-winter, Caring not for trees or freedom; As he staggered through the snow-drifts, Building, building, ever building Through the whirling, blinding snow-drifts With the trees cut from the forest, Sent by Epigee, tormentor Till the forests were no longer, Of all brave and skillful hunters, Only clumps of lonely young trees. He was overcome and weary; For the deer upon his broad back And they knew not Musqueloowah, Heavy was anil hard to carry. This strange race of pale-faced people. And he sighed for red-hot porridge For the Sun God had decreed it: And his wigwam bright and cheery, None should see his face of granite Kept by Wahmassee, his mother. Till an artist of the cities, Then between the bending fir-trees, Of the cities hot and crowded Bending low and heavy laden Which were placed along the river, With their winter's pack of snow-flakes, On both banks of Anaskootic, Saw he through the bending branches Till an artist who was famous, A fair hand, that beckoned to him. One who loved the sun and freedom, Then there came into his cold heart Wandering by the Anaskootic, A warm spark of love and longing; Near the great falls of the river, And he cried aloud unto it, Placed his easel on the greensward " I will follow you, oh, White Hand! And uplooking—saw the stone face! Where you lead I will not falter." Saw the face of Musqueloowah! And he rushed on through the forest; Then upon the canvas placed ho Came to end of trees and snow-drifts, Tree, and sky, and foaming river, Came to banks of Anaskootic; And the rock within its bosom. To the falls of the great river. Then against the sky outstanding Then he rushed into the torrent, Traced the features of the hunter, Rushed into the surging waters, And the clouds high in the heavens And their icy cold struck through him, White as hand of the Mist Maiden.

This Institution is located in the city of Lewiston, Maine. The special object of the school is to prepare students for the Freshman Class of Hates College, though students who do not contemplate a College course are admitted to any of the classes which they have the qualifications to enter. The School is situated near the Col- lege and Theological School, and thus affords important advantages of association with students of more advanced standing and scholarship. The Course of Study comprises three years and as many classes; that is, the first year, or third class; the second year, or second class; the third year, or first class. The classes are so arranged that students can enter the school at any time during the year. BOARD OF INSTRUCTION. IVORY F. FRISBEE, PH.D., PIUNCIPAI Latin and Greek. R. H.
