NEW ENGLAND FACTORY LIFE,
PAST AND PRESENT.


Eighty years ago, when cotton manu-
featuring was in It's infancy, an Ameri
can mechanic would often start little
mill with few dozen employees. Among
them were probably his own children and
the children of his relatives, the young
est Of whom might not be over seven or
eight years old. 1t was not an ideal state
of affairs, but everybody shared pretty
equally in its unideal conditions. For
twenty or thirty years the mills grew in
size and numbers, but the operatives con-
tinued to be of the same nationality and
the same class as the employers. Social
relations and intermarriages were not
only possible, but actual facte, as an in
vestigation into the private history of
some prominent manufacturing families
would show. A caste feeling, however,
began to develop as the profits Of the en-
ployer grew greater than the wages of
the employed, and the property thus &C
quired by some separated into classes
those who, short time before, had been
equal neighbors. It became an objection
to marriage, as local traditions relate,
that cher" father worked for "his" father,
although the youth in question might in
early childhood have worked in his "a
theirs mill, and might pride himself, in
his successful old age, on the fact.
During this early period it became GUS
tomary for the mill proprietors to possess
themselves OF tracts of land about the
factories and to build thereon tenement
houses, boarding houses, and frequently
stores for the operatives. 1t was nsces-
sary that they should do so, as the sud
den growth of the industry attracted
into the river valleys where the mills
were situated, large numbers Of people
who must Immediately be provided with
dwelling places and markets In which to
purchase food. The country was young,
and there WEI no capitalists to hold the
land and put up the houses but the cot
ton manufacturers themselves, the very
men whose enterprise had called to the
borders Of the streams the sons and
daughters of the inland farms. The
standard of comfort was low. The risks
of a new business must also be consid-
cred, when we scrutinizs the villages that
were built at that time. They were often
far inferior to those established in later
days.
The equality of condition moderated
slowly but steadily. Traces of it lingerd
nearly as long as native Americans re-
manned in the mill in any number. 1
have known of one instance OF a very in
innate friendship existing, during the
middle Of the century, between two
thoughtful women, one Of whom was the
mill owners wife and the other an opera
tive in the factory. just such q friend

A BIT HERE AND A BIT THERE.


Have you ever reflected that in that
awful love of God for his poor children
Of clay, there must be mingled at once
infinite tenderness and pity, and at the
same time severity which never shrinks
from any suffering needed to recall US from
sin, or purify or snnctify us? That is the
ideal of all love-the norm toward which
we should strive to life our poor, feeble,
short sighted, selfish affections, and
which it above all concerns a parent to
strive to translate into the language of
human duty. This is the truest love, the
love which attaches itself to the very
soul of the child, which repents with it
with tears bitterer than its own for its
faults, and, while heaping on it SO far as
may be, every innocent pleasure, never
for an instant abandons the thought of
it's highest and ultimate welfare. I think
that till parents love for child is of
the same character with that divine love
of which we learn somewhat in life's SUI
premest hours of communion, till then
his or her love is poor and faulty

SEA-GULLS.

The commonest of the larger sea birds
on the wintry shore are the gulls. Some
Of them pass through SO many alterna-
tions of shade and marking that it be-
comes little difficult to recognize with
certainty any particular gull at all sea
SONS. The herring gull, one of the COM
moDest and also one of the largest of the
tribe, takes nearly five years to acquire
its perfect tones of white and gray. The
black headed gulls lose their dark hoods
in the autumn moult and resume them in
the early spring. 1t is in its immature
plumage that the graceful kittiwake is
slaughtered in thousands for the sake OF
its pretty barred wings. 1t is a widely
distributed species, and has far more
claim to be called the common gull
than the bird which passes under that
name. The kittiwake is often used for
food, and is celebrated in some places as
sort of tonic. A story is told of man
who ate six to whet his appetite for din
ner, and then complained that he was no
more hungry than when he began. Like
most sea birds, gulls are fond of keeping
out to sea, but in rough weather are often
driven inland. In allusion to this there
is an old rhyme current in the north of
Ireland
''Sea-gull, sea-gull, sit on the sand.
It's never fine weather when you come to
land. "

BRYANT's TENDER CONSCIENCE.

The following very pretty anecdote is
told of the late William Cullen Bryant,
the poet, by former associate in his
newspaper Office, which illustrates the
good man's simplicity of heart. Says
the narrator:
"One morning many years ago, after
reaching his Office, and trying in vain to
begin work, he turned to me and re-
marked:
"I cannot get along at all this morn
ing.'
why not?" asked.
"'Oh' he replied, / have done wrong.
When on my way here a little boy flying
a kite passed me. The string of the kite
having rubbed against my face 1 seized
it and broke it. The boy lost his kite,
but 1 did not stop to pay him for it.
did wrong, ought to have paid him. +"
This tenderness of conscience went far
toward making the poet the kindly, no
BILE, honorable and honored man that he
was, whose death was felt as a loss
throughout the land Youth.
