A Factory Girls Experience.

Writing from Boston, 4 correspondent
relates the story OF such mutations in
life as may be considered characteristic
OF American experience. In 1865 there
came to the metropolis Of New England
from Penobsc0t, in Maine, young or.
phan girl, who, after yainly striving to
maintain herself comfortably at home
by school.teaching, had decided to essay
the fortunes OF factory girl in Il larger
city. Entering the hoOp,skirt manufac'
tory of n private firm in Boston, she
devoted all her energies TO a mastery Of
the business, that her confinement to
mere drudgery might not he long pro
tractcd, and this to such effect that in
years time she wns promoted to the
position Of saleswoman.
In two years her superior mental ca.
pacity and practical tact made her the
chief saleswoman Of the establishment,
and through this last position she was
brought to the acquaintance Of Il certain
rich, California merchant, buying goods
| for his store in San francisco. Tho
acquaintance matured into a mninal
regard Of grayer nature. The girl,
well as she was doing, had woman's
natural yearning for woman's domestic
kingdom, and when the Californian
closed his business account for the time
by asking the saleswoman to go back to
San Francis with him as his wife she
welded a graceful assent After a quiet
wedding the two departed together for
the Pacific coast, where the ensuing four
years were passed in all the harmony
and prosperity requisite for the smooth
est progress Of married life.
The wife now Of rich man, and the
posSessor OF abilities and personal come.
illness to grace high social station, the
former factory girl assumed command
ing position in the society Of her new
home and became leader in matters Of
aristocratic tnste and fashion. After
four years the Americanism Of her des
tiny found tragic demonstration. Some
months ago her husband was tempted
into one OF those extrayagan. mining
speculations which are the bane Of Cali.
fornia, and entered too deep To be able
to withdraw before the collapse aud
crush.
In few hours of sinking values he
was dragged down from wealth to pow
crty, and reyenged himself upon fortune
by committing suicide. The sound Of
the fatal pistol shot awoke the bereayed
wife from her -four years. dream OF Imp.
piness and plenty to the old reality OF
her grlish homeliness and want. The
expenses Of the self destroyer's burial
left her with barely enough remaining
from recent wealth to secure her return
to Boston, where she is once more work
ing for livelihood rs though the Cali
fornia episode had never blighted her
existence.
