YORKSHIRE. 
' Between Tadcafter and York there is a 
neat little cottage, contiguous to the roud, 
and about.a mile diftant from the former 
town: the builder and owner, Britton Ab- 
bott, is now in the 68th year of his age: he 
has been inured to labour in hufbandry from 
his infancy, and, notwithftanding his age, 
is fo ftrong, robuft, healthy, and induftrious, 
that he earns from. 12 to 18 fhillings per 
week, by what is called tafk-work. He 
married, when twenty-two, a woman near 
his own age, who is ftill living. About 33 
years ago,.in confequence of the inclofure 
at Poppleton, he was, with fix helple(s chil- 
dren, and-his wife ready to lie in of the fe- 
venth, under the neceflity of quitting his 
habitation. In the midft of his difficulties, 
he applied to a gentleman in the neighbour- 
hood for a piece of wafte ground by the road 
fide; and his charaéter, on enquiry, being 
found unimpeachable, he obtained the flip of 
land le now occupies; where, by the afliit- 
ance of his neighbours in the carriage of ma- 
terials, he built the cottage which he inha- 
bits. The land, though no more than a rood 
in extent, preduibcss by his care and fkilful 
management, about 40 bufhels of potatoes 
annually, befides other vegetables, and 
fruits ; the fale of which brings him, on an 
average, four pounds per annum. Thus, by 
perfeyering induttry, is a man, who other- 
wife mut have beena tenant ina poor-houfe, 
enabled to provide for a large family, with- 
out the leat affiftance from the parifh.
