THE FACTORY GIRL.
BY ELLEN ALHTON.
In a sweet rural vullv, nestled among tho hills
fl f o|(J Massachusetts, stands it pleasant village,
with a picturesque mill and factory. Tltrco sum.
men ago this hamlet was the temporaty residence
of two young men, who wero apparently travelling
artists, as their chief occupation seemed to consist
in sketching tho scenery cftlte neighborhood, which j
was celebrated for its beamy. Their arrival had 1
created some stir among the villagers ; for with,
out a bit of pielension, both voting men had a cer
tain dignity of manner that caused them to be look
ed up to, uitd many n pretty fuciory girl, as she
tripped to her work, cast back a look over her shoul
der, if she met either of the handsome strangers.
Though the society of the village was unusual
ly intelligent, and the females remurkable for love,
linens, there was one fumed ubove all tho rest, in
both mind and person—sweet Edith Mather. She
was ait orphan, without sister or brother, and lived
willt aa aged aunt, whom site chiefly supported by
her labor in the factory. Edith was popular with
everyone. She was so gentle, considerate anil
kind,that even those who at first envied, lenrned
It last to love her. The younger of the artists,
whom we shall name Lovel.sotm became interest
ed in this sweet creature ; at least, if looks, tones,
and a constant seeking of her presence were uny
proof he was thus interested.
