Each human soul a hidden cavern is, Filled with rich gems of perfect symmetry, The priceless imagery of wealth untold. No earthly eye beholds the vision rare: Across the entrance dusty cobwebs swing And all within seems darkness, sin, despair. When lo! From out God's mind is flashed a light; His Spirit fills the soul with holy fire; The darkness flees. Behold! a mystery— A brilliant life appears in every gem The lustre of the pearl of Purity. The opal flashing forth its Hope and Faith, The crystals make a rainbow of the soul, A promise of the better life to come. tf And all beholding read the secret there, The secret of a soul that's filled with God. —F. B. D., 1902. THE GENERAL'S DAUGHTER. THE red and yellow lights in the west were gleaming in the hazy atmosphere which dimmed but did not detract from their beauty. The winding river in view of the sani- tarium was one mass of ruby lights in golden setting. On the veranda, in all the crowd, one only was solitary. Among the silver locks, threads of golden hue glistened in the last rays of the setting sun. Beneath was a calm, pale face, 122 THE BATES STUDENT. touched by the ravages of suffering, but yet beautiful and saintly. Every feature of it expressed calm repose, with the exception of the eyes. In them one read a story of passionate longing,—long- ing in vain. The emaciated figure was clad in a gray uniform. It was like the face in its repose, the hands, in this case, giving expression. Nervous hands they were, long, thin and soft as a woman's. The fingers seemed continuously grasping at some- thing out of their reach. The great reclining chair, with the pil- lows and blankets, proclaimed the invalid. Was health the bless- ing so longed for? It was whispered in the sanitarium that a general of courage far-famed was within its walls; that he had had everything one could wish for when, suddenly, some mysterious influence had blighted his life and he was now there, broken down in health and 'spirit. It was known that, because of illness which had seized him upon his arrival, he had not yet been out of his room. As a sanitarium is well known to nourish the bacilli of gossip and small talk, the general's affairs were well discussed. Days, weeks went by. Old guests went and new guests came. Still the general did not appear. The gossipers grew busier. There were stories of his brutality, even hints of some dreadful crime for which he was hiding from justice.
