And for the working girl though for
the matter of that, think all women
are working girls;" and they who live
the idlest life, sometimes think work
hardest, because to pass ones existence
looking at or taking care of pile of
fine clothes, or putting them on, and
taking them off, or trotting round
Fashions treadmill to show them, and
being made miserable after all this pain,
byseeing those who can outdo you, must
be hard at work as could possibly fall
to mortal lot. But as it is not SO con-
sidered, we will dismiss that view of it,
though sometimes wish the 1tWorlsino
GIRL" SO called, could believe it. 1t is
difficult, I know, when she has scarce
ly-a decent change ofclothing; when all
she earns must go merely for food and
shelter; when she trudges forth in the
fl osty air these winter mornings, tread
ing out her own path through thesnow-
drifts, to the shop or factory, where her
days toll begins, while other girls OF
her age lie sleeping in their soft beds at
home. 1t is hard, too, when she re-
turns at evening, with throbbing tenn
pies. and her youth cIamoring for some
brightness to be infused into her dull
iot1 70 see oIner girls, no pfettler than
herself, passing in their gay attire, into
places of evening amusement, with
their brothers and lovers, and friends,
while her evening must be spent in her
old, dull tenement house home. It is
hard. But there is a lower depth than
that, which pray God she may never
know, be she ever so discouraged. i.
And let her remember that from homes
like hers, which she loaths, have come
forth men, and women, too, who have
risen above the pressure of adverse cir
cumstances, and taken their places with
the good and the great.-N. Y. Ledger.
