The principal aim of man is to live
long and when he dies-die happy. In
the first place, in order to live long he
must without doubt avoid the rough
and tumbled usages of the business
world and the mad rush of the commun-
ity for the almighty dollar. In order to
keep body and soul together it becomes
necessary for him to either overtax the
intellectual forces of his brain which alb
serbs the sinew of his muscles or he is
obliged to waste the vitality of his body
in a stifed atmosphere of labor either at
the bench or anvil or perhaps within the
closed walls of factory in which every
breath of air he inhales and every drop
of prespiration he sheds leads him one
hour closer to "that mysterious realm
where each shall take his chamber in the
silent halls of death.
He therefore approaches his grave SIM
liar to the proverbial quarry slave at
night scourged to his dungeon, without
having first felt sustained and soothed
by an unf1attering trust and without
having ever experienced that satisfaction
and contentment SO well Known to the
farmer or the man who breathes the life
giving atmosphere Of the country and
green fields.
Electricity which is filing the air of
the larger cities in consequence of the nu-
merous telegraph and trolley wires, and
the steam boilers and heat OF the manu-
featuring quarters of labor is ransacking
the nerves and impoverishing the blood
of our latter generation.
Statistics show that the average life of
the steam boiler and rolling mill men is
but year; the men in the various gas
houses do not stand the test but 2 years;
and a majority of the motor men on
trolley lines succOmb to the strain in
quick order.
No sooner has q man become thor
oughly installed in his position and be-
come familiar with his routine work
than he is Obliged to lay down his hands
and say goodbye to those around him.
He seldom has any relaxation unless it is
the overindulgence in John Barleycorn
or through the artificial means of his
comrade Hops.
While it becomes compulsory for him
to recuperate from his daily toll, we
have no reason to find fault with the
temporary relief he imagines is afforded,
but we certainly do condem the circum-
stances under which he is obliged to
labor and by which it becomes necessary
for him to make friends of these two
individuals. Nothing has become SO
beneficial to the workingman in order
that he may free himself from the tolls Of
drudgery as the farm land offered in
Southern New Jersey at district called
Estelle, by D. L. Risley.
The headquarters of. the firm are loca-
ted at 211 South Tenth street, Philadel-
phia, where maps can be seen in his diff
ferent offices showing the location Of
different farms at that place covering an
aggregate of 10000 acres. Large wide
streets have been cut through the tract
for a number of miles and force of men
are busily engaged cutting through new
roads in order that each 5 acre farm
shall front on an avenue A acre farm

The new Sodtn Jefsgy Railroad oper-
ated by the Reading Railroad system,
runs direct to the place bringing passen-
gers to and from the district in about
70 minutes.
Several people have already profted
handsomely by their Investments there.
The farms can be bought by paying one
dollar a week. G. W. W.
