THE LIVES OF
FARM-WOMEN
Some Mure Existences of Ceaseless
Drudgery, Utter Hopelessness and
Direst Despair.
Concluded.
KM) INDICTMENT.
When one thinks of tlio monotonous
and narrowed existence of tin; fnrrn
woman, us a rulu, onu does not wonder
at thosud majority they constitute among
tlio women consigned to our insane
asylums. This om: fact ie an indictment
against their way of lift that cannot be
smoothed over or evaded.
Tint deadly sameness and reiteration
of toil is enough to drive them to those
refuges fur the heart-sick and brain
weary. It seems, to an unprejudiced
mind, that this is all wrong. There can
surely he no reason why the farmer's
wife should not he provided witli labor
saving machinery aiul help in the kit
chen. Are not her hours of work much longer
and fully as hone-wearying as those of
her husband? If the latter were to . try
a dav ut the waslitub, wit); asides of
uvery other description of housework, he
tvould probably return to his plow with
supreme relief a sadder and a wiser
man.
Happily, there ure many exceptions to
the cases 1 have cited. There are buxom,
rosy-cheeked dames of the farm, who
have such a wholesome, capable air of
well being that they ure pleasant to look
upon. They ure not merely drudging
machines of all work ; they have a "say"
as to the management of the lam', and
are fond of making little tours over the
broad acres of her husband, and of sur
veying the stock and the growing grain,
with n pleusaut sense of joint proprietor
ship. nirni.'tKNT conpitionh.
On such a farm, the maid-servant is as
indispensable as the man-servant. The
children rise up and call the farm mid
tho parents that nourished them blessed.
There are no bitter recollections of a calf,
or a lamb, that was given to them and
afterward sold, and the proceeds put in
the farmer's pocket.
Such petty, sordid meanness is the

All thing considered, the wife of a
hrond-minded, up-to date farmer can
well look upon her city Bisters with no
jot of envy. Hut the wife of that other
farmer ah ! well, there it but little for
her to make life worth the living.

It is certainly gratifying to the public
to know of one concern in the land who
are not afraid to be generous to the
needy and Buffering, The proprietors

sumption, coughs and colds, have given

great medicine; and have the satisfac
tion of knowing it has absolutely cured

bronchitis, hoarseness and all diseases
