“This shadowy mountain peak In solemn silence seemed to speak A prophecy of arctic doom; As in his frigid splendor dressed, He reared aloft his frozen crest, Surmounted by a snowy plume. His wrinkled and forbidding brow A sombre shadow seemed to throw O'er other crags as wild and stern, Which frowned defiance in return.”

iflmttana Oh, I know n lnml which has broad swoops of heaven, Glitt'ring with crispest and brightest of stars When sleiglibells chime sweetest throughout the night watches, And tlie moon softly beams through misty cloud bars; Where the softest of laughter from bonniest maidens, And tenderest words from ones held most dear l.lend with hoofbeat and sleigh bell in purest of rytlun. While seraphs bend low that music to hear. And 1 know a land with vast reaches of prairie, O'er which mighty winds with strident roar play, O'er which icy breezes with glorious uplift Sweep majestically onward and ever away To where towering mountains lift whitest of snowpeaks To pierce purple heavens and greet icy stars, And where the grey storm clouds whirl wildly and onward To draj e their cold crests and blot out the stars. And I know a land where from the horizon Streaming upward in splendor the Northern Lights play. Enriching the skies with most gorgeous flashes Entrancing the soul with their brilliant display. Metliinks those bright gleams are but flashes from heaven. That glorious home so near yet so far, Hut glimpses of Paradise, wings of bright angels. And glittering gates left but slightly ajar! Oh, Montana's the land where Nature unfettered Flings joys of the broad and the boundless and free, Where the Infinite speaks to the hearts that are open, And bids them their God in 11 is handiwork see. —M.
