THE BEE BUZZ.

Ht SUCfDlOSlSb GGllS u3 that ''O0fy the agricultural class possesses permanent vitality from it's overflow, the city popu- lation is formed, displaced, renewed. Any city population, if left to itself, would die out in four generations. The city IS an inland lake, fed by constant streams, but without an outiet.'' We seldom visit any city but what we won- der more and more what on earth peo- ple>want to live crowded together in that 1 way fer? What is the use of q city any 1 now? What good resson is there for it? Is it simply the result Of the gregarious instinct? Do people herd like fhe. lower animals and ferno better req son ? Did the 1 Creator mean that men should build cit ies5 ike London and New York? Indeed, is the city a normal or m abnormalthing on tic earth? Sofae great maa has said tha5 God made the country, man made l the city"
 We learn that man was at first placed in Eden, paradise. It was net garden in the sense in which New England farmer boy would naturally think Of it. the stoniest, woeliest and hottest corner Of the farm, walled in, for 2 boy to work in ou every occasion when he would par ticularly like to go off and have a good time
 No; Paradise was doubtless great pleasure park, the conntry at large. From rhi8 delightful place, man was ex- psileL ou account es 2.- disoDedience and ho Ssaudeseo away and lis grandchildren bqiRt S city which hes 4lware been the, sgn4nynl 0f Ticlledncss. The city stands for .e}nSbnes> aud every kind of abuse, ybiwHs ont If tNe first results Of original sin. People got col founded at Babylon and they hAya te4n oonfoGn3aG ever s5n@u aD'' eye1 will 5a, l,utn tl1sy rapeut an1 raoYo back Iu5o tho country. pe04try roor,a we always laaora5 under thiz sane ars.- -lylustoH that ttav co'tl5 do totGoT by aasertiug their hones aud going away to help build up scme ctty, Bat it is a very sjguilic9nt fact that, when country boy who fsas been lur@u away to the city gets tich, bis heart ttlrps him back 10 the ''olu, old home" The city is not healthy place in which to live, and,' if great many city people didinot fee to the country, every Sum- noer, perhaps the cities would die out in Iess thaH fonr generations.
 Now, we are about to make q suggest ion which, # acted upon promptly and generally, viIl soou do away with all the evils of city IIGe and at the same time re- move all the iuconvauiences and discon- cent Of country living. Build your cit ios in the country and the thing is done. So far as the writer knows, this is great original discovery. But it is none the less free to all. No rights will be re- served. Some men would selfishlv seize upon such great idea and start a new political party or q religious sect apon Ii. We shall do no such thing, We shall not even start a new magazine, nor organ of any sort to make gain out of it. But there fs the secret of this worlds trans formation, in nut shell. Take Bridge port for instance, aud spread it cut over the whole county. Do the same with nil the cities the world over. Spread them out over the whole country, Do away wish the noisy, dirty, s!ck]y sipAs oI in- iq'lity amt let every body live in the Q1;- ct, sweet, lovely country and See if t,rey will not behave better.
 Rents will be cheaper, the producer and the consumer will be brought near to each other and thus all the conditions of life will be cquali2ed and mutually improved. Stcan. ard electricity have practically done away with cities.
 People will hereafter build their homes i'll the country, and the boys and girls will not want to go away to the cities. because there will De no such dreadful places let to go to.-[O. o. Wright.
