The Craze for City Life.

One hundred years ago our leading
men, our men of wealth and culture.
were nearly all country gentlemen.
Now the members of the governing
classes live in towns and cities, except
in the South, which still continues to
send farmers to the Legislature and to
Congress. But for the South the
farmers of the country would be al
most unrepresented at Washington.
We must change the drift of things II
We would see our people enjoy the

districts would soon become thickly

comfortable modern cottages, and
good roads, life outside of the towns
would be in every way superior to the
mode of existence found within the
walls Of our crowded cities. The towns
do not need an influx Of population
from the country. but the country
needs a lot of town people 70 take hold
OF the farms and produce something.

from the depths Of my sachel brought
forth the wilted white rose, still dewy
with fragrance, silence fell upon all.

THE TYPEWRITER GIRL.

Though She May Chew Gum, She Il .
Very Valuable Member Of Society.
1t is doubtful if there exists in the
land to-day paragrapher. or any
other species of alleged humorist, but
who has not something to say about
the typewriter girl. She has been
ridiculed, and even maligned. COL
umns of presumable wit have made
the compositor happy at her expense
She is one of the principals of the
photographers stock in trade. and
stands in tho pigeon-hole beside the
mother.in-law, spring bonnet and
homc-from-the.lodge jokes. She has
been terribly abused, but with Spar
tan courage pounds the keys and
never utters word Of complaint It
is not unnatural, however, that so
charming subject should receive the
attention of the festive paragrapher,
but it is somewhat strange that the
serious side of the question has never
been considered The typewriter girl
does not thump the alphabet just for
her health. She learned how to
manipulate the keyboard through
necessity. It was condition and not
a theory that confronted her. She saw
o territory of action before her and
rushed forward and planted her claim.
She is there to stay. She is regular in
her habits. She may chew gum. but
she never dallies with tobacco, nor
toys with the serpent lurking in the
wine-glass. In these respects her
over her male competitor
is palpably evident. Her living ex-
penses are confined to food, tolu and
dress. She never INDUCES in draw
poker. nor high-low-jack, therefore
she can work for a smaller salary
than male. and save more, too. She is
an angel of loveliness about the Office.
The proprietor swears less, and the
Office boy doesn't whistle as much as
before the advent of the typewriter
girl.
But towering above all these de-
lightful considerations is her business
usefulness. The typewriter girl has
what nature knew long
ago. namely. that she is capable of
doing the real business of the world.
She has the capability. and is fast &C
quiring the adaptability. Man has
slowly become monopoIist, and adds
to his monopoly of vice a monopoly
Of the business world. The pretty
typewriter girl, perhaps unconscious.
ly, is surely breaking down this un-
worthy trust The typewriter girl is
rather lowly in station now. but if she
will glance into the horoscope of the
future che will see looming up before
her. in all the gorgeous colors of the
solar spectrum, supremacy, or at least
equality, In the business realm. From
4 mere automaton, whose duty it is to
hold close communion with the En-
glish alphabet, she will advance in
time to business management and
even to proprietary interest Her
feeling Of dependence will disappear
like dew before the morning sun. She
will amass enough wealth to remain

Young Love on It's Way Homo on a Bright
summer Night.
Overhead glittered the stars of a
cloudless sky in June, and the full
moon beamed enchantingly on land
scape wrapped in repose. Not breath
ruffled the leaves Of the trees that
lined the avenue along which Boliver
Pyke and Buenavista McCorkle were
vending their way slowly homeward
from a meeting Of the Gyrogeosophist-
ical Society. Not a ripple stirred the
surface of the romantic frog-pond on
the left in whose bosom was mirrored
the glorious armament, and not a
sound came from the suburban farm
house on the right, whose inmates
were sleeping the deep, dreamless,
reposeful sleep OF deliverance that
follows an evening spent in reading
one of Trollop's novels.
"Bolivar!" exclaimed the maiden,
as something by the roadside that
seemed to reflect the pale radiance Of
the moonbeams caught her eye, "what
is that on the groundp"
The young man stopped and looked
at it.
''Is is nothing but snail, Buena-
VISTA" he said. "The beauty of the
night has tempted it forth. It is a
WONDER" he continued, dreamily,
"that all animate nature is not out for
moonlight stroll. The night is too
lovely to be spent indoors, even in the
res tful slumber that tired nature ex-
acts after day of toll"
The enjoyment OF the wondrous love-
illness OF the evening seemed too deep
for words, however, and in silence the
young couple proceeded slowly on their
way, cOmmuning only in that voiceless
yet eloquent language that expresses
itself in q glance of the eye, q pressure
of the hand, or the softly-breathed
sigh that is'felt rather than heard. o,
glorious season of youth and hope,

Long had they walked on thus in
ecstatic silence when the gentle girl
again spoke.

The young man stopped to inspect it.
Raising himself and slightly quicken
ing his steps he said:
