Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1900-12-01

AS through the shadowy lens of even
The eye looks fartherest into Heaven.
On CLEANS of stars and depths of blue,
The glazing sunshine never knew"
MRS. DICKSON.
God pity them both and pity us all.
Who vainly the dreams of youth recall,
For of all words on tongue or pen,
The saddest are these-'It might have
BEEN"
MRS. GOSSMAN.
And 50 the shadows fall apart,
And so the west winds play.
Ard all the windows of my heart
l open to the day"
MRS. GILBERT.
Angel of Patience, sent to calm
Our feverisfl brows with cooling palm;
To lay the storms o. hope and fear,
And reconcile life's smile and tear:
The throbs of wounded pride to still.
And make cur own our Fathers will!'
MRS. INGLE.
Press on, and We who may not share
The toll or glory of your fight,
May ask, at least, in earnest prayer.
God S blessing on the right
Mrs. WHITE.
The sword was sheathed; in .Aprils sun
Lay green the fields by Freedom won.
And several sections, weary eff debate,
Join bands at last and were United
States
MRS. LINDSAY.
Self ease is pain. the only rest is labor
For a worthy cause
A toll that gains with what it yields,
And scatteus to it's own increase;
And hears while sowing outward fields,
The harvest song Of inward peace"
MRS. STEVENS.
II know not where His islands lift
Their fronded palms in air,
L only know 1 cannot drift
Beyond His love and care"
MRS. sHEEHY.
"Revife him not-the Tempter hath
A snare for all!
And plying tears, not sCorn and wrath,
Befit his fall.
Then pay the reverence of old days
to his dead fame;
Walk backwards with averted gaze,
And hide the shame!'
MISS WOODBURY..
ut is useless to boast of a thing
Before it is done; or after, for it
Speaks for ITSELF"
MRS. YANCY.
Heed how thou Invest;
Do no act by day
Which from the night
Shall drive thy peace away
MRS. p. MULLINS.
'Smeeter than any song,
My song that found no tongue:
Nobler tina any fact,
My wish that failed to act"
A discussion on Maud Muller followed.
Opinion was about evenly divided. Some
thought that if the judge had married
the rustic maid he in time would have
wearied of the companionship, would
have turned to his Mothers and sisters
proud and cold" and left poor Maud to
seek what solace she could from her high
position. That station should wed sta
tion, the lines of caste be tightly drawn.
Others commended that Maud, as drawn
by the poet, showed a noble nature, that
she would hay risen to the height occu-
pied by her husband; that cold
treatment, the petty Ignoring of social
leaders would have developed INC broad
ened her faculties. Instances of many
of Butte's noblest women We're cited; wo-
men who were poor, ambitious, half-ed-
ucated girls, but acquired wealth through
marriage, or by the efforts of men who,
when they welded them We're poor.
Travel. observation, self-cufture have
placed these women on the highest So
cial and educational planes.
Discussion of current topics was neces-
sarily brief. Mrs. Gilbert told of an elab-
crate piece of scalp grating in San
Francisco. A girl who had her head
scalped by a moving belt in a candy fac
tory, and how she is being given a new
hirsute ~adornment. her fiancee having
sacrificed his eyebrows and numerous
friends portions of their scalps.
Mrs. Sheehy read an article in Ain
slices on .'Nnrton's March to the East"
throwing new light on Russia and ST.
IBERIA, conveying such pictures of ease,
luxury and land allotment n no taxes
that every Workingman in America who
reads it will want to start for there at
once. All our old illusions regarding the
peasant of that country were rudely dis
PEELED. He is, according to this article,
a much to be envied parsonage. Statis-
ties were given and it really was an in
teresting article.
Mrs. Berry spoke of the hall of fame
started by Helen Gould and a discussion
ensued on that, the hope being freely
expressed that in time some women
would be eligible for a tablet, even If
she had to die to get it. and he dead ten
years before she secured the prize. A So
cial session closed a most enjoyable eve
ming.
