STAY EAST, YOUNG MAN.
The Other Side of the Ouestion-Success
Lies In the Man Of Grit.


Ex-Assemblyman w. G. Smith,
Of Tompkins county, is in Califor-
mia. He tells the Ithaca Journal all
about the frosts, the ice and the $40
a ton coal. Hear him.
If you are making living in the
state Of New York curb your noma-
die impulses and stay there. 1t is
Gods country. You do not appre-
ciate that fact as well as l do, sitting
among the sand hills and disputing
a right to them with the fleas; sitting
here amid frost and rain and cold
and heat, and looking forward to
eight months of drought. 1t may
seem little enough to you, but as for
us, we went to see the grand process
sion of the eastern seasons-the
snowbanks Of winter, the brighten
ing bloom OF spring, the rich garni-
ture of summer, the scarlet and gold
of autumn. We want to see silk
hats and short hair. We want some
thing good to eat, and to be where
we can find a decent home to live in
for less than 500 a month";
There are, of course some tenn
peraments calculated to profit by the
acceptance of Mr.. Greely's famous
advice, young man, &C west" but
there are good many more young
men who can do quite as well in the
east if they will only make up their
minds to do it. The difference be-
tween the west and the east is very
well described by the old farmers
saw about the comparative merits of
farms: "There's more in the man
than in the land" A young man
with brains and grit will get rich in
the east as we'll as in the west, and
thank Mr.. Smith for the hint.
There are thousands of acres of
unimproved land here in the eastern
states, in New York, New Jersey,
Delaware, Maryland and Virginia,
convenient to large city markets,
where the young man who is not
afraid of work can make royal
living after few years of plucky
activity. AS a rule, such land can
be bought and cleared for less per
acre than would be required to set
ones self up as a farmer on some
remote western tract of land, and
then there will be the additional ad-
vantages Of a climate to which one
is accustomed and convenience to
markets. The last named is very
important, and is too often ignored.
Stay east, young man. The east
can get along without you, but both
you and it can got along very well
togther if you will. Ii you will only
do in the east half the real, live,
wide-awake hustling that you would
have to do if you went west, you
will be we'll off in few years. The
capabilities of the eastern states are
not half developed yet. Read, think,
keep your eyes open for suggestions,
and above all, work, and you will be
all right even if you don't go west.

the old days when their forefathers were
the masters, and Spanish civilization
paled before that of the Incas.
To my early manhood my life was
then reality and Arcadia myth. The
world could hold nothing, 1 thought,
half so beautiful, and l rested content.
In the brightness of my sunshine l did
not see the shadow or the cloud.
slept one night with the memory
in my thoughts of the musical "Buenas
noches, senor," ofmy children awoke
amid the turbulent throes OF an earth
quake.
Springing from my bed, and leaping
widening chasm, rushed away at my
utmost speed, until the closing shock
threw me to the ground. The ensu-
ing stiffness gave me courage to rise
and look back. Where my cottage
stood was chasm fifty feet wide. Over
my beautiful plantation rents and fs-
sures, PROSTATE and broken trees, avail
anches and rocks, showed a scene of
irremediable ruin.
Sick at heart for the loss Of my beau
tlful children, my lake and grove and
garden and tress, l walked some miles,
until found burro, and rode to the
city. Passing by its PROSTATE churches
and dwellings, and through its wailing
and frightened crowds, l found at the
nearest port vessel ready to sail, and
left my ruined Eden forever.
1t was long before dared again to
indulge my fancies. But the old habit
came upon me in full force in wander
ing through Europe. l saw many
charming spots where l fancied | could
make my home.
In Sicily l planted farm | gathered
about me the quick tempered, indus
trious peasantry, and grew my acres Of
oranges, lemons, sumac, madder, saff-
ron, and the grapes which produce the
well-known Marsala wine. 1 sent them
all to market and made them remun-
erative, until the repressive government
of King Bomba, fearing that my example
would be followed by others, and the
people would become prosperous and
therefore revolutionary, imposed tax
upon all products.

leaving its rich volcanic soil for Others
to till under more intelligent regime,

home.
My memory had often dwelt upon a
beautiful plomontory near Spezia,
where the blue sea below and the blue
sky above would give the charm ]
wanted for my trees and shrubs.
So there l passed many of my days
and then longing for fresh scenes and
pastures new, l made home on Lake
Maggiore, within sight of the w-clad
Alps +; then another in the island ol
Corfu then planted currants in the
island of Zante; then a vineyard on
Lake Geneva; then a ranch IN San
Jose; then a castellated garden in
Colorado, fed by mountain springs
then an orange grove in Florida, where,
alternately lying under its shade, or
floating upon the mirrored surface Of
the water that sweeps by its shores, ]

and many came back to the old home
to realize that foreign villas, like Spanish
castles, are but the echoes of a DREAM
