: Coming to the City.

We know tho eager, restless desile
ola certain class of young men on
the farm to get away from farm life
and come to the city. They dislike
the drndgery, the steady, hard work
of the farm, and think it would be
much better and nicer if they could
stand behind a. 'coulftersin some dry
goods store, or work in al, Office, or
even drive u team. They would
then be 1'among folks" they think,
and would be able to, SEQ for them
selves "what was going on" The
glare and glitter, the noise and hustle,
the activity and commotion, the APP
parent splenClor and gayety of city
life, they think, would just suit them,
and would be SO different from the
solitude aud llonesOmeness of the
farm home.
.. Now we have few plain words
that we desire to address directly to
this class. Not that words OF similar
import have not been spoken before,
but it will do no harm to remind you
of them ag;li1. And fiISta fall IN not
gold that glitters.' There Isl dfntig-
cry to he done in the city, as well
as in the country, and if any thing,
