trip west. On the dining car OF the train
he saw that he had in his pocket 10 cents
in change, his smallest bank note being
one for $50. He handed this to the por-

SCANDAL.

A woman TO the holy father went,
Confession OF her sins was her intent.
And so her misdemeanors great and small
She faithfully TO him rehearsed them all.
And chiefest in her catalogue OF sin.
She owned that she talebearer had been.
And bore bit OF scandal up and down
To all the long-tongued gossips in the town.
The Holy Father for her other sins
Granted the absolution asked oil him.
But while for the rest her pardon gave.
He told her this offence was very grave:
And that to do fit penance she must 60
Out by the wayside where the thistles grow,
And gathering the largest, ripest one.
Scatter its seeds; and that when this was done.
She must come back another day
To tell him his commands she did obey.
The woman. thinking this penance light
Hastened to do his will that very night
Feeling right glad she had escaped so well.
Next day but one she went TO the priest TO tell
The priest sat still and heard her story through,
Then said There's something still for you to
do:
Those little thistle seeds that you have sown.
bid you TO regather every one"
The woman said But. father, 'twould be
vain.
To try to gather up those seeds again
The winds have scattered them far and wide,
Over the meadowed vale and mountain side.
The father answered: Now hope that this
The lesson have taught you will not miss:
You cannot gather back the scattered seeds
Which far and wide will grow to noxious weeds;
Nor can the mischief once by scandal sown
BY any penance be again undOne.'

"Silent Years"

The Register frequently has the en-
couragement of its readers who appreci-
ate the timely articles and comments that
they lind in this paper, and we are some
times deeply touched by the messages
we receive from those who have been
helped or benefited BY what they have
read. We have seldom, however. had a
more earnest letter than this, which we
now publish:
March 9. 1911.
Editor of the Register want TO tell
YOU that | appreciated "The Silent Years"

enough myself, since child, to realize
the lack of charity, generally speaking,
that one must meet with in addition 10
missing so many other good things How
anyone can ever make such thorn in
the flesh a laughing matter seems incom-
prehensible to one who has borne such
cross for years. and yet you know that
an article such as the "Sileut Years" is
rarely seen in print, while DEAFNESS is Of
ten made the point of a joke.
have tried for some time TO awaken
more sympathy for these children OF 81
Ience," who miss the cheerful diversion
of general conversation, the help from
sermons and lectures, the songs OF the
birds and so many other good things. and
the constant str in on ones nerves from
defective hearing is trying, too, much
more so than one could realize who was
not similarly taxed. have wished for
the pen of "ready writer" to give the
world book with deaf heroine. We
have blind hero in "The Rosary" with
all the limitations beautifully drawn.
Such books must do good, for we are all
our "brothers keeper" in the fatherhood
of God.
II | can awaken more sympathy for
others who suffer as have, | shall feel
in way there is measure OF compenSa-
ton in having to give up a great deal.
OF course, a genius like Helen Kellar is
far removed from the ordinary human be-
ing-her life is an inspiration. but even
in a modest way we want TO exercise the
measure of sympathy, and newspapers
and magazines can help great deal. |
wanted you to know that that article in
the Register is at least step in the right
direction.
Yours truly,
