Slowly sinking and descending sets the sun behind the mountain. Casting round him glowing splendor, glorious, golden, ever-changing, Painting all the clouds in colors red and golden with the sunbeams, Casting shadows o'er the valleys long and tapering in the forest, Calling home the birds at sunset to their nests among the pine trees, To their nests of moss and grasses on the lofty, swaying branches, Filling hearts with joy and gladness at the close of days of labor. il. One by one the stars appear twinkling in the azure blue, Spreading o'er us in their beauty golden gems so fair and bright, Looking down with stately grandeur on the earth so cold and dark, Calling minds to higher thoughts, to the good that lies above us, To the nobler, grander motives that lie buried in the heart, Filling all the soul with rapture, with the silvery beams of glory, Pointing out the love and mercy of the Power that rules above us. in. So the sun of life descending casts about him radiant splendor. Filling all the land with glory as he sinks into the darkness, Casting shadows o'er us standing as we watch the day departing. Calling home the souls of dear ones to the rest beyond the river. -J. G. P., '05 SMITH OF 188— A STORY OF COLLEGE LIFE. f N the early days of Bates when tall silk hats were much worn -*- by young men, it was an unwritten law that, unless the class had earned the privilege by a victorious encounter with the Soph- omores, no Freshman should wear a silk hat or carry a cane. One year the entering- class was particularly strong, and early in the Fall Term showed the Sophomores that for one year, at least, the Freshmen should wear silk hats. Every member who possessed one took keen delight in appearing before the van- quished Sophomores in all the splendor of a tall hat. However, the glory of one very joyful Freshman named Smith was rather short-lived. Soon after the Sophomore defeat he attended a lecture in the college chapel. With an imposing air he marched up the aisle, placed his hat on the seat beside him, and turned to take off his overcoat. The lights were dim, and as his THE BATES STUDENT. 63 back was toward the aisle he did not notice any one enter. Unconscious of any impending disaster he turned just in time to see an extremely large woman seat herself upon his cherished hat. Shouts of laughter broke from the Sophomores, delighted that a Freshman should be thus discomfited, but the Freshman rose to the occasion. Lifting his treasure he straightened the damaged crown, saying, "Truth crushed to earth shall rise again," but, sad to tell, the hat, unlike Truth, did not rise, sufficiently to be worn again. As a Sophomore Smith also made himself conspicuous. At this time there was in college a Professor who, though a most excellent man, was not very popular among the young men. In his endeavors to better the conditions of the college, he gained the reputation of being a little too inquisitive, for in some incon- ceivable way he always knew when anything was going on and would appear in the windows and rooms at most inopportune moments. The especial object of his attention was the tall Soph- omore, Smith, whose fun-loving nature was always on the alert for mischief. Checked a little by the Professor's watchful care, for some time Smith had been rather quiet, but one night his active spirit could no longer stand the monotonous round of studies,—he had to do something. The moon was bright, there was a fine crust, and he looked at the glittering snow, it seemed to beckon him away from his tiresome studies, to taste nature's charms. Quick as a flash his plans were laid. "We'll slide down Mount David, it's just the night for it!" The more he thought of it the more the reckless scheme pleased him, and off he hurried to call some boys to join him.
