The Autobiography of a Newspaper Girl (Classic Reprint)

Overview

Excerpt from The Autobiography of a Newspaper Girl

"He shall give his angels charge concerning thee, and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone."

This was the benediction that was brokenly spoken over me, by my venerable relative and guardian, when one day I left my Wisconsin farm home, full of youth and health and confidence, to earn my own living and make a career.

My going away was an important event in that quiet neighborhood, and there were gathered about the little village station in spring-seated wagonettes and hard-seated lumber-wagons, many farmers and their families who stood up high and waved their handkerchiefs to me as the train moved away.

Another time, a few years before, there had also been a little stir in the place over a leave-taking of mine.
