COMPILED FROM DISI'ATCIlFS TO THE DAILY “ OREGONIAN.” CON - About forty years ago, there lived in the western part o f New York a lonely widow mother. Iler husband had been doad many years, and her on ly daughter was grown and married, liv ing at the distance o f a mile or two from the family mansion. And thus the old lady lived alone day and night. Yet to her conscious innocence and trust in God, she owed her feeling o f safety and cheerfulness,did her work quietly during the daylight and at eventide slept sweetly. One morning, however, she awoke with an extraordinary and unwonted gloom upon her nrnd, which was im. pressed with the apprebcusion that something strange was to happen to her or hers. So full was she o f tins thought that she could uot stay at home that clay, l»ut must go abroad to give vent to it, unbosoming herself to her friends, especially to her daughter.
