Female Operatives. &e.

While the planning mills, workshops and other
places employing male operatives exclusively,
are closed at dark during the winter months,
the females employed in some other factories DO
not cease their Iabors unit seven 0 clock. Long
hours after nighall the silence is broken by the
whistle that announces that the day to the
factory girl is ended, to be resumed next
N 1rning 10y daybreak almost, with only very
ri,.finterval at noon. 1t is truly sad to, be
poor where poverty entails any hardshlFs.
The treadmill Of lie in IFS ever busy turning
leaves scarcely m3ment for repose TO 'uch
none whatever for recreation > until, growing
,prematur,ly old, without educ ton, without
proper society, with but scanty opportunities
for cuItivating the more delicate sentiments
and rehnements of her sex, the factory girl
finds herselfa woman, and friendless, too often
indeed a castaway. The realization Of the fact
that one must always be poor and compara-
lively triendIess, existing as it does among such
classes largely, must of necessity tend to drag ma,
ny one down to lower depths than they would
otherwise reach. Much of this feeling is doub-
less due to the sense of bondage under which
they labor. y.

The following article, on ''pro rata freights, !"
contains, it sc ms to me, iudcious views, on
that subject, and indicates the best aud trucst
policy. AMHERST
Pro RATA FRETGrIrs The New York Cen
trail Railroad has boldly repudi4ted the system
of discriminating trcights which has prevailed
so generally with railroads, and has adopted
the fair aud judicous one Of pro rata freighls.
We hail this as an example of true policy.
The discriminating system in favor OF through
freights and against local is,indeed, the rip
ping open the goose that lays the golden eggs.
1t is REFRESHING, discouragng, and paralyzing
local energy, Development and production. 1t
is the sacrificing OF home to foreign industry
to accommodate distant communities. a policy
more fatal to the interests Of 4 country trayc-
sed by railroad could not be conceived.
The greatest source OF prosperity to u rail.
road should be the country through which it
passes aud it is in the power Of the road to
excite the industry, stimulate the enterprise,
and increase the production Of that country to
only increase the production, but the variety
of the products. The increase of the variety
is great benefit to the famer, as it protects
him against the perlls Of losing the whole re
suits of his labor by an unfavorabe season
when concentrated upon single crop.
The increase OF the variety Of products is
indispensable to the pursuit OF the more care
full and intense system of agriculture which we
must now adopt. Small farms cannot be de-
voted to great staples. Diminished areas and
small forces cannot be given up, with any sort
of success, to that object The Dccessarics Of
life mus occupy the chief place and attention
of them all. The excess Of those necessaries
must be conveyed to market at the lowest
rates, in order to compensate the farmer in
crease his production, and increase the fgci&htS
on the railroad.
If any sort Of lreigh should be favored, it
is the local freight No article which is pro-
duced by Gu tivation, by digging in the earth,
or by any sort of ingenuity or industry Of man,
should be allowed to remain valueless on the
side of road for want of transportation at
price that will encourage the industry which
produces it. That should be law Of all roads
it should be law of the land.
Low froights-aod they arc all the better il
pro rata-are indispensable to the improve
ment and development of a country, and to
afordiDg the greatest business to a railroad.-,
They let loose stream at every depot to i'm
part life and thrift to their operations and to
ditfuse the bright and blooming signs Of
well-rewarded industry On every hand.
