The Hired Man.
The lVorcester Gazette draws a for-
mil is moral from the Brookfield tragedy,
by pointing out the dangers which the
rural: home suffers from the hired man,
since the native farm hand, whom Mrs.
Stowe immortalized in the character of
Sam Lawson. gave way to roving casual
workers of unknown antecedents and
without certificates of character. That-
notorious criminals often find this a
convenient way to seclude themselves
when in trouble is well known, and as
the Gazette says: “The farmer never
lknows whether he has invited a leper
or a wolf into his home when he en-
'gagesa hired man.” And there is no
exaggeration in this statement of the
«use: says the Springfield Republican.
“On the average farm, the young sons
are compelled to daily associate with
men who are often vile in speech and.
vicious in character. They are even
obliged to sleep with such fellows, an
experience which man y a former farmer
3x33 afterward recalls with a shudder.
The stranger can jest with the young
girls, and, if he proves-agreeable, may
find his attention acceptable, especially
~where other ydung men with the super-
ficial polish of the world’s contact are
scarce. The father who carefully ex'
eludes the suitors in town whom he may
:ennsider undesirable Will allow his
daughter to meet the hired tramp at
the table and converse with him at the
fireside during the. long winter even-
ings. With such opportunities, and
the character of the men engaged on
the farm, it is no wonder we have trage-
dies {such‘as‘ the murder of Christine
, ,Warden and; the extermination of the
’E’i‘Iéw‘tbnrfiimily. ” .

terms of equality which have seemed so
admirable in the past must be given up.
The Gazette is right when it says: “A
stranger, who may be a convict, should
be excluded from the home circle as
no longer be attempted, since the labor-
er is no longer a member I. f the commu-
nity, and is not entitled to such treat-
ment. ” This may sound harsh, but the
billty of such crimes as those of Almy
and Mueller. In man y farm homes the
tramp hired man has been a source of
contamination to the children by his
obscenity and immorality, and so long
as he is made one of the family there is
no effective means of guarding them.

room and a separate life. If an em-'
ploye is of worthy character, aud a fit
acquaintance, he can speedily demon—
strate it, but it is a terrible folly to ad-
mit a stranger of a class which includes
many dissolute and desperate char-
acters to an intimacy accorded only to
members of the family.

The beginning of a letter is infinitely
harder to indite than its ending.
It is so easy to make faults appear
like virtues in the persons we love.
It is easy enough to be philosophical

It is a relief to see a woman who

How many persons seem to take a

Illness shows itself as, quickly in the

correct in saying that the present issue ,
“does not concern the rural district
problem.” On the contrary, it is a
vital pant Of that problem, and the les-
- son to. be drawn is that rural modes of
this have not altered, as they must alter
in the future, to meet the changing»
character of rural population.
It wasga beautiful Arcadian life in
the old days, when the population was
homogeneous in its composition, when

deeds of violence were so few that they
