"A New England girlhood, outlined from memory (Beverly, MA)"

Humility, Sympathy, Helpfulness, and Faith are the best teachers
in this great university, and none of us are well educated who do
not accept their training. The real satisfaction of living is,
and must forever be, the education of all for each, and of each
for all. So let us all try together to be good and faithful
women, and not care too much for what the world may think of us
or of our abilities!
My little story is not a remarkable one, for I have never
attempted remarkable things. In the words of one of our honored
elder writers, given in reply to a youthful aspirant who had
asked for some points of her "literary career,"--"I never had a
career."
