In some instances these poor girls are provided with a good home, and, when their masters or mistresses show decent consideration, their lot is not so hard. But in the average case, the poor girl is regarded as a mere chat tel. She must work from sunrise
with the humours and caprices of her masters, and live a life of con tinual drugdery, simply because she happened to be born of parents who were unable to provide for her sup port.

Only a coward would maltreat a maid-servant of tyrannize over a poor defenceless girl.
Then, too, the pernicious custom of purchasing girl slaves, has even a darker side. We will not alaborate for our Readers will understand what we have reference to. Lincoln said of the United States, that the country could not continue to exist half free and half slave. What insidious poison slavery instils in society has been demonstrated in the history of many nations. Truly, China cannot long continue a custom denounced and abolished in contemporary democracies.
