Excerpt from Selections of Poems and Prose From the Writings of Charles L. Billings, of Livermore, Maine
Lowly the evening shadows veil The landscape from my sight, And rock and woodland fade away Before the coming night.
The sky glows with the rising moon, While, from the hill beyond.

Excerpt from Selections of Poems and Prose From the Writings of Charles L. Billings, of Livermore, Maine
LD Herbert, the drunkard! How well I remember him! We called him old, but his was not the old age which, like the calm evening of summer, succeeds the noon of life with the temperate and virtuous. In the thin, gray hair, palsied, trembling hand and feeble, tottering footstep, were visible the ravages, not of time, but of dis sipation. Day after day the miserable man sat in the grogshop, stupefied with liquor, or lay drunk upon his bed in the home to which his presence should have been a blessing, but of which it was the curse. Sometimes, on rainy days, we used to see him returning from an excursion to the pond, with a few fish, which were sold to procure the means of gratifying his debasing appetite for strong drink. When we little children happened to meet him, we drew aside from the road, and, timidly holding each other by the hand, whispered, Here comes old Her bert For we had heard dreadful stories of his abusive treatment of his wife and child how, coming home on winter nights, he had many a time, ln his drunken frenzy, beaten them and thrust them out of doors, where, thinly clad as they were, and almost perishing with cold, they had remained for hours, not daring to return until silence within told that the wretched husband and father had fallen asleep.
