Winter Sunset. 
Sée, out of purple twilight, how the trees 
Press o’er the downs, in troops, to heaven’s 
rim, 
Dipping dark forms, and antlered brows, 
where seas 
Of soundless glory wash, and over brim. 
What more may lie beyond? What burning 
word 
Rolls earthward with diurnal cataclysm 
On this gold tide’s gold lips? The hills have 
heard, 
And bare their laboring heads for holy 
chrism. 
What can this message be whose potent 
balm 
Bids our poor planet, travailing in pain, 
Rise with each dawning, new-create, and 
calm, 
To move in beauty round its pole again? 
— Town and Country. 
SELECT PARTY. 
Mayor MacDonald Guest of Honor at Red 
Men’s Dance at Manchester. 
The dance in the Manchester town 
hall, Wednesday evening, under the 
auspices of the entertainment com- 
mittee of Conomo tribe, 113, I. O. 
Red Men, was a pronounced success. 
George Washington was a Red Man 
and most fitting, indeed, was it that 
the day on which his birth is com- 
memorated should be selected for a 
party of this kind by the Manchester 
order. 
There were almost 100 couples on 
the floor when the dancing started at 
The accompanying picture 
is of one of the scores of sea 
coast views which make the 
North Shore famous. The 
view shows the monstrous 
waves breaking in fury over 
the bold rocks off Smith’s 
Point, near Lobster Cove, 
Manchester, and is one of the 
collection used by L.W. Floyd, 
the Central Square news and 
novelty dealer, on his souvenir 
postal cards. It is at this 
season that the coast scenery 
is at_its best. 
8.30. The grand march was led by
