DEATH OF MISS BUTLER.

Miss Mary E. Butler died at her
home, the Cottage, Thursday morning,
June rs at $50 o'clock, aged 80 years,
a months and 20 days. The funeral
took place in the family burial ground,
Cottage plantation Friday morning,

Far beyond the inner circle of rela-
tives and intimate friends will this
gentle woman's death be felt with sor-
row. She had spent a long life in un-
destinations piety. Whether in the
confines of her own home, the work of
the Episcopal church which she so
dearly loved, or in acts of beneficence
and charity wherever the needy came
under her observation, or in the num-
berless deeds of kindness and friendli-
ness that were as natural to her as the
breath of life, her four-score years
were passed in doing good. But she
Ibid good by stealth and blushed to
find it fame" There was never in her
attitude towards others, either haught-
mess or self-assurance. She proffered
a kindness, as if she and not the re-
ceiver was benefited. Most of her
charities were so secret that those
who knew her best were doubtless I'M
aware of their extent or nature Only
He, who notes the sparrows fall, and
therefore must count all noble acts of
human service, knows the sum and
kind of her gracious actions. When
woman like that leaves a community
and goes hence to her\ reward, the
|sighs and prayers of those she has
loved and helped speed her angel
bearers on their way to Paradise.
Miss Butler was the last member of
a large family of brothers and sisters,
all OF whom were prominent and useful
in the past of West Feliciana. She
was the daughter of Judge Thomas
Butler, for many years distinguish
ed congressman from this district. In
the early years of his family his home
was the centre of a brilliant social
coterie, not only of Louisiana people
but those notable in the history of the
nation. Perhaps it was this wide out
look on life, in her girlhood, that gave
Miss Butler that calm acceptance of
the facts of existence, using and not
abusing her wealth and her gifts of
mind and spirit. She kept abreast of
the times, and while always quiet and
gentle, never seemed to be old
