the country experiences on coming to
the city, eve supposing he has found
employment or gone into business, re-
lates to his home. His $1,000 a year,
which in the country would give him a
snug little house and comfortable pro-
vision, would get him in the city only a
small room in a clearinghouse. The
$4,000. that would give him something
more than a comfortable home in the
country, would give him in the city only
better clearinghouse. The 80, 900 that
would give him in the country a fair es-
tablishment, with horses for his con
venience and amusement, would in the
city only give him a small flat" in a
crowded spartment-house, and the
$1,000 inathe country that would give
him the surroundings ofa nabob, would
only pay The rent of a house on Fifth
Avenue. The country rich man can
live splendidly on from $4,000 TO &c.,
600 II year, while the city rich man
spends from $4,000 to $4,000 a year.
City incomes look large, but relatively
to city expenses they are no larger than
the country incomes.
The man who lives in the city has ex-
perienced the remediless drain upon his
purse Of the life which he lives, and feels
that the risk which a business man runs
of coming into unknown circumstances
is very great. He feels that unless his
country friend knows just how he is go-
ing Il meet that drain, he will be safer
where he is. City life is naturally mer-
CHESS. 1t has to take care of itself, and
has all il can do to meet its own wants.
If a man from the country comes
into it and fails, he must GO to the wall.
Friends can not saw him. A city looks
coolly upon a catastrophe of this kind,
for it is an everyday affair, and the sic-
tim knows perfectly well that he can
neither help himself nor get any body
else to help him. So the city friend,
knowing the risk and the needs of city
life, breads to see any country friend
undertake them. Then, too, the faith
full records of city life show that the
chances are largely against financial
success in it.
The man of society who is attracted
from the country to the city usually fails
to calculate his own insignificance when
he encounters numbers. The man of
social consideration in the country
needs only to go to the city TO find 90
many heads above his own that he is
counted of no value whatever. .Who
is hep. .sSVhAb he?" ard "Nhat
has he done?" are questions that need
to be satisfactorily answered before he
will be accepted, and wen then he will
need to become a positive force of some
sort in society to maintain his position.
City society Is full Of bright and positive
men and women, and the man and
woman from the country bring none of
their old neighborhood prestige with
them to help them through.
To sum up what the city mar really
feels in regard to the coming of his
country acquaintance to the city, it
would not be far from his, viz:
First-The chances Tor wealth are as
great, practically, in the country as in
the city, and the expense Of living. and
the risks of disaster much Tess. =
Second-The compositions of city life
aud the struggles to get hold of busi.
ness and salsfied WORK are fearful NJ
man should come to the city unless he
knows what he is going to do, or has
moneyrenoHgh n his hands,to take cara
of hiHaself until Ne Eets 8 living pol
ton, or becomes satisfied that he can
not get one. Evento-day, with the evil
dence Of reReved pfsspsFiTrsll Sreund
us, there are probably 10 applications
on file for every desirable place, and NO
man living here could help a friend to 1
place unless he could create OnoI

Fyih-That a. city mans dream Of
the future, particularly If he ever lived
in the country, is always of the country
