they had talked about her that night:

they were engaged to be married: and

Young Schilling thinks him an awful
idiot to have been taken in by a girl
like that. But she is very pleased: she

There lives in Oak Ill., Texas, a
blind girl who has from few acres OF
land. cultivated by herself, cleared
about 5000 each season for several
years by the growing and sale of vege-
tables. She began with no capital and
an unfenced piece of uncultivated land.
There is now a neat fence about her
domain. well and a pump in the cen
ter, and she has, in addition to purchas-
ing these, paid for piano and hack
TO take her vegetables to the market,
which is twenty miles from her home.
Every evening during the dry season
she waters certain number of plants
until she has gone over the entire
piece, when she begins and goes over
it again in the same way Insect life
she detects from her acute sense Of
hearing. and grass and weeds are cas-
lily distinguished from plants by the
sensitive fingers of the blind gardener.
