The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1893-09-01
Tho Wanderers Return.

The summer is ended. Tens Of thou.
sands OF New Workers who have been out
OF the city during the hot weather are get
ting back to 1t. or preparing to come back. or
anxious to come. Perhaps more than hum
dred thousand OF them will get settled in
their city homes during this autumn month.
We suppose that most OF them have en-
joyed themselves while they were away.
whether they went to the seaside. or to some
quiet country place. or out In the woods. or
away among the mountains. or to some FASH
ionable resort. or anywhere else, and wheth-
er they spent their time in the active or the
passive mood. in the New York or in the Bos-
ton habit. in very sociable manner or other
wise. in sporting. counting. or mental cul-
ture. or even merely In lying off. which is
regarded by some elderly people as the
most enjoyable way In hot weather.
Nearly all OF them will doubtless be glad
to get back to the charming city. and to
their homes In 1t. and to their friends here.
They must by this ii me be tired OF staying
away. They must often have longed for
the time OF their return. They will find
life here even more satisfactory than
usual. in some respects. All things are
ready for them. The prospects are tlp-top.
The temperature is agreeable. and we are
to have fine autumn. Society is in the
best Of humor. There is tremendous
amount Of business going on here. The
city Is healthy. and has been cleaned up
since they left us. There are sports and
amusements to meet every taste. even the
musical. The place looks lovely. We are
sure that they will like 1t better than ever.
How attractive Is the blooming name OF
New York!
We shall be as happy to see them all back
among us as they must be to get here again.
We need them. We have missed them. We
have longed for their company. We need
their money. We should like them to help
us to push the clouds away. We are most
anxious to serve them. We want them to
freshen up business. and make 1t brisk. We
wish to see them on the streets and In other
places. We shall be pleased to have them
occupy their pews in the churches and syn
agogues. In short. we desire that the hun.
bred thousand New Workers Of both sexes
who are yet out OF town. shall hurry home.
The city will be better. brighter. richer.
SUMMER. and jollier for their presence. We'll
come to the whole Of them!
We have not had such bad times during
their absence as they might think. We
have done pretty we'll. notwithstanding the
financial stringency and the scarcity of
currency. notwithstanding the dulness in
business and the cantrips Of the Anarchists.
Notwithstanding the necessity Of sticking
to work while they were loaing or dan
cling about. Notwithstanding the warmth of
some days and the showers OF others.
We are always pleased that SO many Of
our esteemed fellow citizens are able to 20
away to the country. There they throw of
care. enjoy relaxation. get q change Of
scenery. turn the mind into new channels.
have time for books. easy pastimes. and
the free play Of the emotions and every kind
OF fun. and sometimes better their health.
1t IL as good to go out Of town for while
as to come back. and stay till well along in
the next year.
We repeat that. now that autumn is here.
it Is time for the hundred thousand New
Workers yet lingering In out-of-the-way
places. to hasten their return to the great.
beautiful. genial. and fortunate city Of their
affections.
