word of encouragement in season; the for

impatient word his ear has caught.

There is law in Massachusetts, which 10
intended to regulate the employment Of chill
dren in factories. The officer .appinted to
enforce this law reports Is follows:
In Fall River he found one thousand chill
dren employee = factories, mostly Of foreign
parentage, in generally low condition,
ignorant in many cases of their own parent
ages, earning very low wage and deprived
in great part, or altogether, of the school
privileges which the law requires. To Illus
trate the spirit Of some Of the employers, the
officer inquired Of the agent Of one OF the
principal factories, whether II was the
custom to do arySSing for the physical,
intellectual, .or moral welfare Of the work
people. The answer would not have been
