T, vigorous body, and constitution free

impossible If he hare not the qualities VIC
nave na1ned, # he hare only part Of them,

~ Is the host place for him, and will b. the l.

: j. matters little what occupation the young /
ma, designs following on coming to the city,
these conditions aro as applicable to one as to
another. They will hold good in any and all
Of tia professions, in any and all Of the trades,
in commerce, in art. There must be moral !
and q physical substzatum, as reliable as tho
axioms Of science, as firm and enduring as the
everlasting rocks, to insure great and sue
cessftl career. Parents often commit their !
gr;.vest blunder. here. 1fthere be in the fam.
ily son Of delicate organization and indolent
habits, o. daughter more dainty than her
aisters-the former il almost sure to be Eet
apart for a profession and a city residence,
and tho latter is put into boarding school 10
learn the accomplishments and-nothing
else, with the view Of tIanspIanting her 10 the
mansion Of a city gentleman to- become the
mother Of weak-minded and physically attcnu.
nted children The more robust ofthe boys arc
placed between the handles Of the plough, and
the larger-lunged and healthier daughters are
initiated into the duties Of the kitchen and the
dairy. II boys and girls are to be brought up
with special reference to city liie-thc strong
limbed, deep-chested, large-harded and large
Drained; should be selected, while tho weaker
and more delicate should be put to homely du-
ties, and kept ut them. The latter must have
plenty Of undiluted oxygen, and plenty Of ex-
erc;se to deve1ope muscular and mental ener-
~, otherwise they become curse instead Of
blessing to tho world.
We never go upon the street that wo DO not
see young peoplo-vcry nice and dainty peo-
pie indeed--to whom compulsory election
from the city would be a blessing. Young
men with attenuated limbs, with exceedingly
small and delicate hands, with contracted
chests and pallid cheeks young women ditto,
in every respect, and nearly always in q great
er degree, will meet you at every corner as
Jou pass through the city. They constitute
part Of the ton Of tho town, know how to
enter drawing-1ooms gracefully and self
poised, dance beautifully, sing divine1n
languish with tho utmost grace-are in fact
the pink and perfection Of tho hothouse
civilization Of c;ties-the Ultimate Of fashion
and the penultiu,ate Of dwarfcd and used-ur
humanity. Such people are not fit for the city !;
neither are they fit for the country. Butthere
| is 70 much saving virtue in tie moral atmos-
phere and 60 much undiluted oxygen in the
natural atmosphere Of the country, that it alone
| can save them from moral putrefaction and
physical annihilation.
Nature is never guilty Of blunder. With.
in her domain everything is as it should be
appropriate as to time, place and condition
Men, who, Antnus like, from close contact
with the soil, have acquired large degree q
strength and energy, soon ind themselves il
the possession Of tic means to seek the mort
exciting, toilexacting, wider sphere Of cit,
life. They 60 thitbeF, carry on great enter
prises in commerce and improvements, and b!
their mental and physical energy and endu
rance, sustain and push onward the destinic
| Of their adop:ed home. Likewise those VIII
have for long generations addicted themse1ve
to the pleasures, the gaitics, the indulgeuces
aud tho fashions Of city Lie, lose that strengt
Of mind and Of limb, that generosity Of hear
r that iaagnanimity Of nature, and that degre
ofene1g and enterprise which arc nccessal
TO- SUCCESS in the face Of fiercs competition
their fortunes gradually waste away, and, Il
8 ab:e longer 10 keep up tho ancient sp1endc
l. they turn their feeble steps country-war
9 VIII "e, after some generations devoted to i
= du rial pursuits and frequent intermarrial
), wit. a healthier and stronger race, the sto'
;, reg: rs its original robustness and power
, e1e 1ranoe, and again appears in the VIII
! aoi rush Of the city. The former class ha
abundant reason to DO thankful for the 1arg
