Hawthorn,'s College Lie.

OF Hawthorne's life in BowdOin College,
we have only such information rs IS
found in his letters TO his mother, sister,
and uncle and the very recent magazine
articles Of his friend and classmate, Hora-
ito Bridge. The habit Of roaming the
country, begun at Raymond, was contin-
ued In Brunswick. The comprehensive
there formed are as widely known almost
as is the story of Hawthornes own life.
There were Longfelow, destined later TO
become the first poet Of his time, as Haw-
thorne was to become the most celebrated
man OF letters and Franklin Pierce, des-
tined TO fill the most exalted executive sta
ton in the country; and HoratiO Bridge
was man who was destined for most re-
sponsible trusts, which he fulhled with
not more honor 10 himself than his country.
With Bridge, Hawthorne explored the
country around for many miles. Trout
fishing was one Of his favorite recrea-
tions. Toward Bath, there was a famous
trout brook, much frequented by Haw-
thorne, sometimes alone and sometimes
with Bridge or others. In this brook"
says Bridge, I'VE often hshed for the
small trout that were to be found there,
but the main charm Of these outings was

banks Of the little stream, listening 10

Another Of our strolls," he says, was IN
a sparsely settled street by the AndrOs-
coggin) river where" says Bridge, "Haw-
thorne and L often walked silent or con-
yersing, according 10 the humor OF the
hour" 1t was on this street that they
found much amusement in consulting an
old fortune-teller.
Hawthorne probably began his drinking
habits while at college-habits that I'M
fortunately lasted him through life and
constituted always his greatest weakness.
Bridge says: I'm a corner Of the present

Solitude of Literary Women.

a large number Of literary women are
charmed into celibacy by the indepen-
dence of their solitary career. Their
financial gains are large; their homes are
comfortable, even elegant. There is no
man to contradict them, nor to make
them afraid. The slow battle of their
freedom has been won, and they live
alone, not because no one can live with
them, but because they enjoy the free
dom of solitude. In doing so they prob
ably defy certain rules of society made
for their weaker sisters, but their con-
duct is irreproachable, and IL social mag
mates do not call on them, they are not
troubled a moment by the neglect. Their
own society is very pleasant 10 them.

Florentine Comma Donati. At the same
age Johann Heinrich Voss led TO the altar

The Song In the Storm.

A little bird sings clear and sweet
I think he knows not why nor how,
Except that with his slender feet
He feels dear Natures pulses beat.
The wind uprising stirs the tree
And fast with silver tears 1t weeps;
The little bird more cheerily
Pipes with his tender throat and Keeps
His face in sunshine, tho IL sleeps
There swings his pretty nest below;
His mate sits listening TO his song.
IT'S love that makes her bosom glow,
'Tis love that whispers all day long,
"Sleep, sleep. my nestlings, and grow
strong!"

And wind that sobbest I'm the wood,

She hath the sunshine in her hood;
For everything to love is good!
