Laughing south-winds in the pine trees, Branches softly swung; Round, red moon, with golden pathway O'er the waters flung. Rocking row-boats at the inlet, Ripples on the shore, Far-off tides, that break the stillness With a hollow roar. Dews distilling all around, and To my hammock tree Hedge of wild rose sends its odor, Afterward the sea. Tenderly the scene enfolds me, Hours come and go; If awake or if I dream, I Neither care nor know. —THOMAS H. STACY, '76. A LIFE THAT "MISSED ITS HAPPINESS." I. u DAUGHTER, it is useless for us to pain one another, thus, longer. I have already told you many times that never should I oppose what I believed would make you happy. But your old father has had more experience in the ways of this wicked world than you, dear, and he fears that this one thing you desire so much will not make you happy. You may think yourself happy 198 THE BATES STUDENT. for a year, for two years, perhaps for ten years. But some day there will come a terrible revelation to you and you will see that this man, who is asking the greatest gift from you that he could ask, yourself, who is so true, so kind and noble in your eyes, has not proved to be what you thought him; that your affection for him is fast slipping away, while his affection for you, now that you think of it, seems to have long since fled. Dear little daughter, I am not trying to make you decide this question the way I hope, I pray, you will decide it. I am trying only to point out the precipices which I, with my sharpened eyesight, see in the road before you, but which to your young eyes are covered over. Annie, his manhood is on a plane far below that of your womanhood. But you, as the weaker, will be likely to be drawn down to his plane. "We will not talk of this longer, now. Whichever way you decide, these talks of ours will never be spoken of again, if you wish it so. And whatever comes, you shall never know by word or deed of mine, that I regret what you have done. Go now, dear, and may you be led aright!" The white-haired old minister turned again to his com- mentaries, his Bible, and his text. But his mind was not on them. His heart was yearning after the fair girl who had just left him—his youngest daughter and the only one left to him now. His love for her was so deep that he could not bear the thought of her life ending in unhappiness.
