& Country Girls. ~. 2
Mrs Victoria Fuller, in the Ohio Guilt,
vator, in sisterly way, thus talks to coun-
try girls:

glorious race ofwonen which no other land
can. show. | sock not to Hatter them--for.
before they can become this, they will have
to make earnest efforts of one or two kinds.

A taste for reading does wonders, and an
earnest thirst after knowledge is almost GER

ian spring" There is farmers daughter
