CITY AND COUNTRY LIFE.

A Boston clergyman has preached a
sermon in which he urges the country
boys to grid up their loins and make a
grand rush to the great cities, where, it
is asserted, fame and fortune await
them.
According to this new evangel the
young men of the city have become de
vitalized by the enervating habits of life
that have surrounded them and their
fathers, and they lack the mental, moral
and physical equipment that men need
. In order to conquer in the battle of life.
Therefore, it is argued, the STRIPPING
from the farm, strong in physique, with
plenty of iron in his blood, accustomed
only to plain, simple habits of life and
thought, will have the best of it in the
race, and can easily distance and dis
place his competitors.
THAT, this is perniclous doctrine"
says New York exchange, "everyone
knows who is at all familiar with the
conditions of success in our great cities.
Whatever may have been the case in
the past, to-day the odds are all against
the boy from the country who comes to
the metropolis unframed and unsophisti.
GATED, and with only rude natural force
OF character to back him. In carefully
cultivated physique, in intellectual
power, in firmness of moral character,
In mental scope and practical ability,
the boy who 10 the outgrowth Of our
best city life has advantages that cannot
be overcome by rivals less we'll trained.
One must be blind not to recognize the
truth Of this condition OF affairs. To
hold out alurements in contravention
thereof, thereby raising false hopes and
encouraging the country youth to aban-
don safe and sure, even if homely ex-
istence, for 4 struggle where the chances
are all against him, is wicked.
The young man Of the city was never
less willing than now to abdicats in
favor Of any newcomers, and never bet
ter able to hold his own. II the young
man OF the country knows whom he is
well off he will remain at home under
the trees and grow up and go to con-
gress from an agricultural district. He
will find that safer and more pleasant
than tempting pleasure in the metro
polis"

The color in Birdwhistle's cheeks
faded away and gave place to an ashy
paleness suggestive OF piece Of ane
tique tripe, as he fumbled around with
his right hand in vain effort to seize
the hammer and spoil the beauty Of his
rival for the fair hand of the peerless
Claudina, but, regaining his cOmposure,
Birdwhistle said, proudly: "Seareh mev'

he tried to appear very youthful. He
was frisky old man, which Josh Bill
ings calls "a burlesque on all kinds of
levity." After the arrival Of Claudina,
he seemed to have taken up his abode
in the Vanderclam mansion. He clus-
tered around Claudina so much that she
scarcely had an hour she could call her
own. At the instigation of her father,
she was almost entirely monopolizcd by
the obese old Bigby. Some people are
born great, others acq uire greatness, but
eur unfortunate heroine had greatness
thrust on her. However, she WAS quite
equal to the emergency, for one day.
when the voluminous Bigby became OBJ
trusively affectionate, she asked him If
he did not have grandson of about her
age whom she might learn to love.
81 have no doubt, Miss Claudina,"
replied Bigby, with large army-sized
sheer. shat you would prefer lover Of
the age and appearance Of that pauper
school-teacher, but I have your fathers
consent to lead you to the hymenial al
tar, and I'm going to do it."
He then went out suddenly, slam
ming the door, and suffering from sup
pressed rage.
One morning, the young tutor had
occasion to use q hammer and few
nails to repair the aged and decrepit
trunk that concealed most Of his scanty
wardrobe. While thus busily engaged,
there came sharp rap ct the door. and,
on opening it, Oliver Birdwhistle found
himself confronted by the stern faces
Of old Vanderclam and his friend
Bigby.

S1am, the father OF ClRudina, went
around with fresh-baked smile on his
face that would have done credit to a
man who had just had an aching tooth
withdrawn from circulation.
The Vanderclam family is one of the
oldest and most DESTINATIONS on Manhat-
tan Island. BESIDES his blocks of houses
he is the proud owner Of q coat-of-arns
and an ancient crest, which latter looks
like spawned jimplecute regorddnt,
and, to some extent, in immediate jux-
opposition to q two-year-old Durham
guyascutxs, the latter holding in his
beak the squirming motto OF the Van
derclams:

original old Simon-pure-with-his-
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Vanderclam got
his start in life by selling old junk for
more than he paid for it.
But there were no specimens of the
domestic fly on the charming Claudina.
She was large, copious girl, with hand
some features, and large, dark eyes like
those Of an astonished fawn. She had,
moreover, q queenly form. Besides her
tailor-made figure, she had still another
handsome figure of several millions in
her own right.
There was only one person in the
Vanderclam mansion who was not
| stirred up over the arrival Of Claudina,
| and that person was Oliver Btrdwhistle,
| who had charge of the education of
| Tommy and Bobby, Claudina's two
| younger brothers. Oliver Birdwhistle
| was not handsome, for his mouth was so
| large that he had to be measured for
| his tooth hruahes, but on the other
hand he was saturated with intellec-
tuality. He generally wore a pensive
smile and patched clothing, for he was
penniless, and an orphan.
Oliver Birdwhist1e did not see the
beautiful young heiress until next morn
ing at the breakfast table. He could
not help stealing q glance at her lovely
face as he prodded his epiglottis with
chunks of sausage impaled on the tines
Of silver fork. Oliver thought that
she was the most lovely human being
he had ever seen. He smiled at the alb
surdity Of his falling in love with such
q superior being, as he inadvertently
fee.

self strangely fascinated by the pale,

the young tutor. She was 80 struck by
his manly beauty that she did not even
observe the glossy and careworn condi-
ton Of his garb. She did not even notice
the movement Of his arm when he fed
himself. She, too, smiled at the ridicu-
lousness Of the idea that she should ever
wed one whose social status was SO In
ferior to her own. At the same time
she absent-mindedly stirred her coffee

Meetings are held, and resolutions
passed and work is all the time going
on. There seems to be hope that in

In Makawao everything is quiet, at
least on the surface, no meetings
having been held since the one for
nominating Mobiles in Kahului.
The Board of Education are
boasting of all the schools they have
put up, and they have cheek enough
TO say that schools are established
in all districts and places where
there are children enough, and this
boast in the face of the fact that
right here on Maui there is large
district, with over 100 children,
where there is no school, and not
likely to be one either. At Spreck-
elsville the children are growing up
as ignorant as pigs, only learning
to root in the ground like pigs. The
children are kept to work day in
and day out for the benefit of the
parents and the plantation, and no
wonder that married Portuguese
prefer to work there, where there is
no school. 1t is crying injustice
to all the others of that nationality,
and the other plantations are losing
their labOrers as consequence.
