 It is very doubtful if the crowded city i professions are so much to be recom- mended as are those which lead men to the country Town life makes Us rush through existence in d perpetual whirl of business and often of fret and anX- iety Country life has its hard features and long hours of sturdy toil, but it offers it votary fair seasons of rest the blessings of fresh air, and the joy of ma ture ever ministering with her varying delights to dispel fatigue There is also a sense of independence felt'in a fuller degree when we are away from town, X man able to walk on his own land, to take from it in due season all that he needs for food and to expend whatever he may have over and above in the pur- chase of buggy and clothes, and the simple luxuries which fit his abode for his wife and children, k happier than any king
