THE REVIVAL or COUNTRY TOWNS.
An Important Function Of the summer
Ronrder.

In many cases young men have settled
upon their farms to live without thinking
and 10 let the outside world take care of
itself You find traces Of this discouraged
life all through the New England states /.
and the effect has been to stunt and dwarf
many minds that were capable of better
things II was because those who could
have led the inquiring young minds into
great realities distinctly declined to do so
that the revulsion Of thought and feeling
took place and it is in and through the
learning on the part Of the minister, the
lawyer, the doctor, and the schoolmaster to
take up their respective duties as social
leaders and discharge them in a proper
manner, that the rural towns are to be
quickened in their thought, in their social
activity, and in all the qualities which make
life interesting.
In great many inland towns all through
New England the summer boarder has in
troduced a connecting link between the
country and the city which is of great val
ne to the people in the country. The rural
life in hundreds of towns in Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont has been greatly
improved and strengthened by the contact
Of the native population for three or four
months of the year with people from the
city. In the various ways the good things
of the city become an inspiration to the
good people in the remote township, while
the freshness and sincerity Of country life
are breathed anew into the fevered atmos
phere of the great town. A reciprocity is
established, out of which goes forth benefit
to both parties. One result of il is that Ii
braries are established by sons and daugh-
ters Of the old town, who wish TO do some
thing for it or old academies are reen
lowed, to become centres of educational
life; or the mill privileges in the villages
are used for manufacturing purposes which
soon turn the hamlet into thriving village
or prosperous town. 1t is throu h such
indirect agencies as these that a great deal
is done toward freshening and strengthen
ing the rural d strict.
These rural communities however hum.
hle, are not to be wiped out, and the ques
ton is whether their influence can he de-
veloped in new channels, so that they shall
bring to the city the fresh blood which is
required for its sustentation 1t is impossi-
BILE IN say that they will ever do, on so large
scale, the work that they did genera
ton ago; but if their field is more restrict

things are conspiring for their healthy re
