Don't Leave tho Country.

The strange infatuation for city life,
which has seized the country, is one
OF the worst signs of the times. It
used to be, especially in the South,
that the country was the seat Of the
wealth, the intelligence, aud the best
social life of our people.
But times have changed. The old
plantations have been, for the most
part, deserted, and constant exodus
has been going on from the country to
the city. The glare and glamour Of
the crowded mart have exercised an
unwonGed fascination upon the minds
of our people, and thousands have
focked to tie city.
We believe, however, that this
mania for city life has reached its
height, and that ere loug we will wit
ness the return of hundreds to the
farias and plantations which so much
need the touch of intelligent, we'll
directed industry The exigencies of
the situation will demand the dcple-
ton of our crowded centers, and idle
hands will find useful and profitable
employment in that Oldest and most
essential of all occupations, agricul-
ture.
This will be "a glad day, and will
mark the beginning Of new and bet
ter esder of things. Il has ever been
true, that country life is best suited
to the growth of those higher and
better qualities which go to make up
sturdy manhood and virtuous woman
hood. And when our people get back
their old time love for the country and
return to build up the waste places,
we will see again the splendid civiIi-'
cation of the Old South.
, Don't leave tile country. Stand by
the farm, and build up around the
county home, the Church and the
school house. Develop there social
life &c attractive that the din and
noise and stir Of the city will not be
needed to give it interest and vivacity.
There are more intelligent farmers
at work in the South now than we
have had for many years past, and
there is greater opening in that field
than ever before. There is yet a
great deal of hardship, privation and
suffering among those who rush TO the
towns. With industry and economy
these could all live lives of comfort
and independence on the farms. Don't
leave the rural districts. There is the
normal home Of man. Wesleyan Ad-
U0cafe.
