Oh tell not to the busy world Thy sorrows and thy care; They have no tears to icd for thee, No sympathy to spare. Breathe not thy troubles to the btars That shine so far above : They will not stoop to pity thee, Nor whisper words of love, Nor think thou this nnlc, cold moon Will hear thy notes of woe, For the grand nius'c of the spheres Would drown thy wail btlow. Complain not to the roving wind; They will not hear nor stay To breathe one word of t-ympathy, Or kiss thy tears away, But make a tomb within thy breast, And bury thy sorrows there; pare, Hide them aw.iy from the world's cold Nor breathe them save in prayer. And move among the busy throng As though thou hudst no care, For they've no tears to shed for thee, No sympathy to Hpare. Sing, though the harp within be mute; Kmile. though the heart weeps blood; Let thine eye brynn bright as though its nad fall'n on naught but good, gaze B. V. WiiEKLr.it Humphrey. Portland, Oregon.

Editor Oregon Scout: In your issue of Jan. 27th I noticed an article regarding Mr. Ed. Gardner, which somewhat reflects on his pister, Mrs. Wiggins, of this place. Knowing the entire circumstances of the cae, and the statu of destitution in which she was left when her husband was imprisoned, I will say in her behalf that she rendered her sick brother all tlic aid in her power. Being obliged to wafh for the support of herself and children, ulie had to leave home at times in order to so earn money for his support as well as her own. Mr, Gardner was finally taken to Mr. Bus by's house, who shortly after took his family away owing to the diphtheria eare. The care of her brother again devolved on Mis. Wiggins. She la bored hard during the most intense cold to keep them from freezing and Btarving, sawing and chopping her own wood when you could not get a Chinaman to do likewise. Finding that her scant earnings wero not sufii cieut tc keep them, the had no other alternative than to let the county take her brother. Hoping that you will kindly insert this article to remove any wrong impression as far us she is concerned, you will greatly oblige one who believes in relieving and riot op pressing ono already heavily burdened.

At any rato it will stand tho good people of the Covo in hand to take better care of their loose wealth when leaving.
