street 70 the Yorkville eminence there are two miles
OF almost UNMARRIED sterlity where Improvement has
done little on either hand bat TO scrape OH the soil
and expose the uncomely rock TO the gaze OF every
pssser The dreary monotony Of the prospect IS

some spot Of earth that he can call his own those
who live in cities need little, but they ought to 80
cure that little when they can. If every thrifty
tradesman or mechanic would buy an acre, uptown
or over one of the rivers, aud each unmarried labor

would be an excellent beginning toward independ
