StNicholas [serial] . ave never entertained any one ex-cept those whom I like very much. 854 ST. NICHOLAS LEAGUE [July, WAITING TO SAY GOOD-BY BY AGNES MACKENZIE (ALMOST l8){Honor Mem ber) I sit in the stillness alone, T is an hour I have long fore-seen, —And I wait for the clocks slow chime To tell me I am eighteen. Eighteen ! And the gates will closeWhich can never open again, And I must go forth aloneInto the world of men. I shall move in a larger sphere, And higher duties find ;But I shall not forget the years With those I have left behind.
