T151.L NOT THY KOIIKOTCS.
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

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.

A sneak thief entered tho Iioupc of

very near spotting tho light fingered

tho good people of the Covo in hand
to take better care of their loose wealth
when leaving.
