Tie city is, beyound all question, the
b1st place for the brain to labor. The
continually shifting vanity of scenes, and
the opportunities which it constantly af-
fords for studying men and things, ron
der it peculiarly fitted TO supply the mind
with food. The man who desires TO be
thoroughly acquainted with human n2-
ture must live in the city. Nowhere else
can he see lie in SO many phases-in its
glitter and its ith in It's purple and in its
rags, in its hurryng busllo, and its inclt
helplessness, in its artificial refinement
and its guilty degradation. But for those
who desire to enjoy existence IN perfect
