Lowell Mill-Girls, Old STYLE.

The home life of the mll-grls as I knew
| 1T in my mothers family,was nearly like this
Work began at o'clock on summer MORN
| ings, and at daylight in the winter Break
fast was eaten by lamplight during the cold
weather: in summer, an interval of half an
hour was allowed for it between and
o'clock. The time given for the noon meal
was from half TO three quarters of an hour.
The only hours of leisure were from half
past Z or s, to 10 in the evening, the mills
closing little earlier on Saturdays. IL was
| an imperative regulation that lights should
be out at 10. During these two evening
| hours, when it too cold for the girls to
| sit in their own room, the diningroom was
| used as a sitting-room, where they gathered
| around the tables. and sewed, and read, and
wrote and studied. 1t seems a wonder, TO
| look back upon it. how they accomplished so
| much as they did in their limited allowance
| of time. They made and mended their own
| clothing, often doing a great deal of .un-
necessary fancy-work besides. They sub
| scribed for periodicals: took books from the
| libraries went to singing schools concerts,
| lectures and conference me etinQs: watched
| at night by a sick girls bedside, and did
double work for her in the mill, il necessary;
| and on Sundays they were at church, not
| differing from other well-dressed and deco
| rous young women. Strangers who had
been sitting beside them in a house of wor-
ship were often heard to ask, on coming out,
| ''But where were the factory girls?'
Lowell was eminently a church-going
place and the hush Of the old fashioned
| Sabbath had there peculiar charm by con-
trast with the weekday noise. The mill
girls not only cheerfully paid their pew rents,
but gave their earnings to be built into the
! walls Of new churches as the population
| increased. Their contributions to social
and foreign charities also we're noticeably
liberal. What they did for their own
| famlies-keepine little sister at school,
| sending a brother to college. lifting the
burden ofa homestead debt from parents
, old aVe--was done so frequently and 80
quietly as to pass without comment Their
independence. was marked as their gen.
erosity. While they were ready with sister
/ ly help for one another when it was needt d.
| nothing would have been more intolerable to
! most of them than the pauper spirit into
| which women who look to relatives or friends
! for support so easily subside. Perhaps they
| erred in the direction Of a too resolute self
reliance. That trait, however, is a part OF
| the common New England inheritance; and
| there was. indeed, nothing peculiar about the
| Lowell mill-girls, except that they were
New England girls Of the older and harder
| stock - 1hanfie Monthly.

Speaking of Christmas. the n. Y. Tribune
says: The festi, al OF Christmas is an espec-
tally private one. 1t belongs to families. to
mothers and fathers who are also house-
holders and have personal business relations
in small ways with numberless working peo-
pie and dealers. See that every penny ow-
ing to these people is paid before you plan
your extravagant gifts or joyous little sur
prses at home. The dollar you owe to your
baker or washerwoman, which you neglect to
pay only through thoughtlessness, is the sign
of more real comfort and pleasure which is
withheld cruelty out of their lives, than all
which you can bestow on wealthier folk, by
your dainty bric-a-brac, or even most loving
remembrance. If each reader of The Trib-
une, at this early date, would conscientiously
set about paying all of his little bills we will
venture to predict happy Christmas in New
York, although not a single costly gift should
change hands on that blessed holy day.

CoMsTOCK.
Town 1855, range IS, recently or.
Sanized under this name. It was
first settled in the spring Of 1878,
BY a few germans, but Peter Reetz
was the only one who made any
improvements. In tho fpring Of
1879, 3 fow more claims were taken
and some breaking done, but no
crops were raised except few pota-
toes. The spring Of 1880, the re-
snainder Of the settlement was
made, consisting Of some twenty
aye homestead and pre-emption,
snd twelve tree claims. Last year
was the first crop that was raised
and Was not a very large one, but
w5e Go not think it was any fault Of
the land or the season, but the late
breaking, poor and late seeding.
We hope to tell q different story
next year. There wss about 100
acre. Of wheat ard 50 acres Of oats
last year. For the coming season
there acc 100 acres to be sown to
wheat and oats, and most Of the
ground is III good condition for g
crop. We understand that some
flax will be sown this spring, but
how much VIC have not heard.
