Omaha daily bee., 1883-11-09
DELIGHTED WITH DENVER.
Mr.. and Mrs. DIR. Harding Still Lin.
gering In the West.

Since Mr.. and Mrs. DIR. Harding left
Council Bluffs for the west there have
been many inquiries as to when they
were to return, and as to how they were
prospecting, their many friends here and
Mrs. DIR. Harding's numerous patients
being naturally much interested. A let
ter received by THE BEE states that on
account Of Mr.. Harding's health they
will remain at Denver during the winter.
At first his health was unfavorably
affected by the climate, but it is now the
reverse. Mrs. Harding writes THE BEE
as follows, a letter which will be read
| with interest by the friends here:
To the Editor of The BEE.
DENVER, Col, November Al am
wont this lovely Sabbath morning to sing
a new song of praise to the giver of all
blessings, while enjoying to our ~fullness
the varied glories of his wonderful crea-
ton. Surely in this lovely region of
country, where are spread to view on
every hand natures most sublime phases,
may we exclaim, God is with us and for
us, blessed be his presence. Yes, with
us in the tiny flower and leahett, in ever
the silently towering mountain that
seems in its very solid stiffness wholly
wanting in life-but if we 60 back and
note the many changes it has undergone
in its formation through the progress of
evolution, may we not ascribe to it life
in that the moulder, the unseen power,
that controls all things through perfect
evolution, has in it fulfilled his estab-
lished law.
Yes, this is a quiet Sabbath, and
elbow sweet the sound Of Sabbath bells,
That float upon the air,
In gentle cadence this then swells,
And wakes the soul to prayer.
Having Just returned from an early
morning stroll, cheered by the rising SIM
that promises another day of radiant
brightness and welcome warmth, / can
but think of, and crave the same for you
there in the lower altitude, where now,
even, is threatened the cold blasts of
winter. Here there has not, Us yet,
blown one chilling blast to warn US Of
that which may come to maj our blissful
content and pleasure. When l tell you,
dear reader friends, that the suns glad
rays have daily for weeks been so
warm as to make it necessary to raise
high the windows to admit air during
the hour of noon, you will readily i'm
agine how grateful must be the cheering
warmth, especially to the many invalids
who still linger, wooed by the welcome
retriever.
We, too, have fingered, thus retained;
and feel to still continue hoping for the
added benefit so necessary for my hus-
band, whose fast failing health caused us
to seek this region, so fraught with
health giving advantages; nor have we
hoped in vain, for of late ~theceveted i'm
provement has appeared, bidding us
hope for much in the future with longer
stay. And now interested friends, while
it would afford me much pleasure to en-
ter somewhat inte detail Of things in gen.
eral, according to the measure of my
knowledge concerning this really wonder
full city, when we remember its age and
position-and that put a few years since it
was simply a vast prairie, the haunt and
unmolested roaming place Of wild beasts,
and now a city of wealth and beauty
where even the fine arts find encourage
ment, with a prospect that in the not far
off future the present awakening to
every possible need in the way of educa-
ton and refinement will be fully met and
a greater effort manifested, with a
zeal and determination not excelled else
where, except in the east, the cradle of
refnement-and with this the aim
what may we not hope for in the years
that are to come for this city ssof extreme
youth, because of her foreshadowing
possibilities2
If permitted and time offers in the flu
ture to occasionally through this medium
mmun with friends, until l can return
to them, l shall be happy.
Mrs, HARDING.
