Mrs. Hartley's Reading.

Notwithstanding the inclement
weather last evening a very fair au-
dience assembled at the new Baptist
Church to hear Mrs. Hartley, the
popular elocutionlst. TO say that
the audience were delighted would
be a very mild way of speaking.
The entertainment was q of the
finest literary treats OF the season
She has fine dramatic power, and
renders pathetic passages as we'll as
the gay with telling effect. Rev
Hartley read a few selections, which
were heartily appre ciated by the au-
dience. The reading will long be re.
membered by all present as n of
the most profitable ever heard in
Butte.

STAY AT HOME.
BY NETTIE NASH RAE.

Stay At home with me my darling,
For my heart is filed with pain,
When you leave me here alone dear,
TIL I see your lace again.
You promised to be faithful,
True and loving all your life,
When the golden words were spoken
And l was your happy wife.
Yet a year has scarcely vanished
Ere another pretty face
Has won you from your duty.
In your heart she took my place.
Why is your love 10 tickle dear:
Why can't you constant be.
Oh. turn from false temptation
And stay at home with me.
Her prayer Il never needed,
But with chilling words and frown.
He taDgles up the threads of peace,
That with glory should be crowned.
Loving wife in sweet submission,
Gently strives to set them fight,
But she finds the struggle useless,
They are twisted hard and tieh..
How fierce the awful heartache,
Loving eyes with tears are wet,
Cruel words in anger spoken
How she struggles to forget,
Dimpled cheeks, how soon they rival
Faded roses of the glen;
Girls, If you could see the picture,
Would you firt with married men,
Ere the evening shadows gather,
Casting twilight into night,
Why not speak the word repentance,
Which would set the trouble right
Ere the flowers Of affection
Are chilled by morning dew.
Why not lift the cloud of sorrow
And let the sunshine through?

BUTTE, Dec. 20, 1884.
Editor MINER:
One of the points made by old-time
aboljtionists in their war against
slavery and the fugitive slave law,
was that by this law the United
States commissioner, hearing the
IA of an alleged runaway slave,
was allowed five dollars If he held
such slave to be a runaway, while if
the commissioner turned him loose
he was allowed but three dollars. 1t
