FRtIHY, MAY J, 189(i.
Vroirileil Citie*.
The cities are crowded, the towns
are crowded, but there is plenty of
room in the country.
Yes, there is plenty of room in the
country, and the towns and cities are
running over, and still the country
peaceful
ages.
■ rill, is the spirit of the closing ccn
■ury. The world is on a rapid move
and men despise to he behind the
times and the country is so prosy and
far in arrears of what seems up-to-date
living. Men in town wear good clothes
men in town hold up their shoul
ders and walk rapidly and gracefully
along the • i reels, men in town read
the daily newspapers and keep abreast
of the public questions; they have the
advantage of the public libraries, they
send to school nine months in the
year, attend the theatres nightly, con
verse glibly, transact business rapidly,
have tint luxuries of the niaiket, get
rich quickly, live fast, fail in business,
get rich again,die early, have a big fu
neral—and all this is attractive. True
it is unnatural, hut men like it and
that is why they leave the country
and come to town.
In the pristine* days of southern
chivalry the country folk were the
flower and strength of the south.
TheyJamnod extensively, lived in fine
old lfl^Bkjj^dr.‘<i l iiH ami duugh
in the politics of
high style and were respect,
above the traders and mart hustlers of
the cities. But the old south has giv
en place to anew regime in which
country life takes a second place, and
people do not like tv hold the second
place in the social and industrial sys
tem of a nation, and hence the coun
try people come to town.
It will not always be thus. States
manship is trying to solve this vital
question and institute sot no means by
which this influx to the cities may be
cheeked. It is supping the vitals of a
nation to adorn and glorify its external
prominence. Statesmen have no
need to worry over this problem : it
Will cettlo itself, .lust as .the jiegro
problem admits of no patent solution,
but is gradually and naturally set
tling itself, so will this super-energetic
stride of the pendulum swing hack in
to its natural heat. and the country!
again will receive its due considera
tion and her holds, her flower yards, j
her libraries, her homes, her pristine i
glory will la* renewed and the nut on |
will feel a revival of naturalness that
will allay the restless spirit which ren
dors prosperity so uncertain.
Men will discover that the glare
and glitter of the cities, tile energy, the
rapid progiv '|ho hurry, the quick
step, the glib tongue—all, all that is, : s
ohly a dress parade, a show, is superb-j
rial and every iota of it strained. 1
Men are taxed to their very utmost j
and many far above their capacity, to I
keep up appearance**, tor these can
not he ignored. All this is unnatur
aland men will not continue always
to live in an unnatural element when
there is an escape. The country is
abundantly open and five. 1 1 affords
a gracious opportunity for a good liv
ing. independence, and freedo m The
overtaxed of the cities will grow
weary of their.slavery, they will feek
the rurals as a refuge. They will o
rect comfortable homes, till them with
attractions, establish better school and
church privileges and pleat! for better
roads. The y< ung men of the country
wilt awake to their good fortune,
grasp their opportunities,
redouble their energies, and

Dun’s Review of this week says
money markets have grown more fa

ground, and in financial quarters
causes more confidence for the future.
