All, wcll let it pass in silence.
Wen forget;
There are, doubtless, things to live for
Even yet.
And life has far noblcr uses
Than regret
There are joys that wait our coming
Down the years;
DO not think that | shall meet them
But with fears.
That for me life holds no promise,
Only tears.
DO not think that 1 shall idly
Sit and wait,
Watching with the old blind worship
Your fair fate
This might once have been; now truly,
Ills too late.
There are breezy heights my footsteps
We'll may tread,
There's d futures radiant promise
overhead.
Naught shall dim its light; not even
Words you've said.
So we'll let the years slip from u.s.
Suns have set;
In your life may love and sweetness
Linger yet;
And for mech, father help me

wamIo's Telephone Line.
wAM1o, Or, Sept. 10, 's4.

WAMIc, Or, Sept. 10, '94.
Wamic and Victor are connected by
telephone. The distance is five miles.
The wire Is stretched from bluff to bluff
of White river canyon, distance of $500
feet. This is the best advance this part
of the country has made for long time.
The great canyon of White river, which
separates Wamic from the productive
plains of Victor and Oak Grove is ami
hilated, so far as speaking is concerned.
Mr.. Gordon, the proprietor and builder
of this line, is the happiest man in
Wamic today. His store at Victor is as
easy to manage in point of details, as if
it were at Wamic. Sales are telephoned
as fast as made. Now, if Dufur will
build line from The Dalles to Dufur,
Kingsley and the Wamic country can
surely afford to connect with them.
The convenience and general profit of
such connections can not well be esti-
mated. xxx.
