Mr. Burt, a mombor of tho British

in this country, and In an intorost*
inglottor writes: On tho prairiosof Illinois
and iu ti?o neighborhood of Kingston,
Canada, I mot several pooplo who
woro formerly laborors in England and
in tho north part of Ireland, who aro
now the owners of tho farms thoy till.
Thoy aeom to ho doing woll. Isponta
fow days in Illinois with two brothora
who wont Horn tho north of England
soino thirty voars ago. Thoy took'
nothing with them but stout hoarta and
a pair of roady, willing hands. TUoy
havo now farms of thoir own, in ono
oaso of ono hundrod acros and in tho
othor of oighty acros. Thoy havo
orocted goon liousos, stablos, barns,
and tho usual outbuildings oonnootod
with a woll-oquippod farm. Surrounding
thoir homostoads aro orohards in
which thoy jflrow many. kinds of fruit.
Thoir land Is woll cultivated. and well
stocked with tlno animals. Nearly ovorything
tlioy roquiro Is produood by
thomsolvos; in short, thoy aro indopondont
as far as anybody on ?arth can
bo indopondent. Thoy still work hard,
but work for thomsolvos, and woro
among tho happiest pooplo I mot in my
travols. Thoro was a quiot dignity, a
8olf-po3f>ossion, an ab3onco of haste and
worry in tho life of thoso sturdy farmors
which affordod a ploasant contrast
to much that I saw in othor parts of
Amorioa.
