A Woman Farmer.

Inc story OF young woman IN Illinois
Is worth reading. The name OF the dam
sci we know naught Of, save that its
initial letter is A.; of ner locality we are
simply informed that she lives and lab ors
IN Illinois. This maiden was a student
m ga leading young ladies' sem mary"
Her father died. leaving farm considera-
bly, mortgaged, and widow whose health
did not permit her to manage the es
tate probably; whereupon our energetic
young woman bid farewell to the leading
seminary, and became practically bucolic.
She had eighty acres to manage, half of
it well broken in, and half of land rich,
but liable to overflow. The barn had
been recently burned, and all the fencing
was in bad order. Such was the position
when the young left the seminary and
turned farmer. She had one horse; she
borrowed another; and friend helped
her by the loan of implements. Thus pro-
vided, she has accomplished somewhat.
Wearing gymnastic suit, with broad
brimmed hat, gloves and boots made to
order, she plowed she directed the re-
moyal of the stumps of trees she assisted
i'll drilling the wheat she even helped to
fell trees, and is reported to use an axe
beautifully She has eight acres in grass
and twelve in orchard she raised twenty
three acres of winter wheat in 1872. and
would have had from three to five acres
more, but for the failure of horrid in
efficient man who failed to cut 1t in time
In all. she got $50 bushels of wheat,
weighing SiNty-twO pounds to the bushel.
Most Of the home farm is cultivated in
corn, though there are eight acres of grass
and twelve Of orchard. Our pretty Pomona
in 1872 sold 100 barrels of apples, and
recently had $50 barrels in the cellar.
Poor young woman' All has not been
bright with her. She has had her little
sorrows, like the rest of womankind; she
has been called to mourn over one horse
drowned and another stolen; she has been
bereaved OF a colt, and her pigs were
failure.
But upon the whole, the Providence
which presides over agriculture has smiled
upon her. She is gradually paying off the
mortgage bequeathed to her by her sire
She has forty acres Of wheat sown for the
coming year. She has taken excellent
care OF her widowed mother, of her father
less little brother. and of a smaller sister
We wish that we knew her name. Against
all our typographical rules, we should be
tempted to print it in large capitals. 1t is
aggravating TO be forced to speak of her
simply as Miss A. The letter. however,
is :; good letter, standing at the head of
the alphabet and it is suggestive of A
No |. The tender interest which she has
excited in our own heart is sufficiently
indicated by the fact that we have before
mentioned her, though all too briefly, as
we were not then in iull possession of all
the, pleasant facts. N. Y. Tribune.

NEW ENTERPRISE. The Steam Mill
property in Hampden advertised in these
columns by T. R. Wasgatt, Jr., has been
disposed of. The upper portion is to be
occupied by Mr.. !Vasgatt and Boston
parties who will engage in the manu-
facture of type cases, racks, stands, cabi
nets, and printers furniture. Eventually
they will also manufacture wood type,
and the popular "parquet floors" If we
cannot have such a factory in Bangor, we

That the enterprise will prove a success

Health, in spite of some clamor and excitement
which was not surprising the responsible

disease was stayed. The expenses thereby occasion

less.

would take place all through the land
Then would stand out and up men
and women whose first, greatest, and
only desire would be to serve God in
the newless of spirit and oneness of
purpose. There would be found no
distinction on account of name, or
sect, or any such thing. Old things
would then be done away, and when

good fight; | have finished my

The Strike in Wales.

The workmen Of the Merthyr valley
in Wales about month since suspend
cd labor, owing to the published no.
tees Of the coal and iron companies
that wages would he reduced Ten per
cent. About sixty thousand miners
are thus thrown out Of employment,
exciting grave aprrshsnsions Of desti-
tuition and trouble. A considerable
exodus westward to the Aberdare and
Rhondda valleys has already occurred
leaving the lately populous city Of
Mer,hyr bereft of thousands of golfers
and iron workers who thronged the
streets at dinner hour and evening
time. The houses are inhabited by
women and children, anxiously await
ing news from the bread winner,
who has gone in quest Of work beyond
the mountains, where, he saws, 1T
may be had for the asking The I'M
certainty of the prospect, however,
involves considerable disquiet. At
Cefu, town populated exclusively by
the employees Of Nj CEAwsHAy, a
noted iron operator, not man ls left.
The fear is these men will not obtain
employment, and return to their hun
cry families prepared for serious out
break, III which event great distress
will be added to the terror induced by
grave demonstration.
The iron interests and their depend
enc:es are also seriously affected, the
strike occurring III the ironmasters
collieries. Even though the difference
ia reconcilcd it must be some weeks
before the GOLFERS cen reinstase them
selves. Meanwhile, what are the fifty
thousand irouworkegs to do, who can
rot work without the ore and coal?
The strike Is regarded as public
calamity, even though it should term
mate at this stage But every day
adds difficulty to the restoration of the
old condition of things, and since it is
asserted the masters will decline a
conference with the men upon other
basis than the reduction above alluded
to, the latter have repeated grier-
lace to brood over
