Perhaps this piece of optimism from a
Boston paper may not be out of place In
this column;
There Is q good deal of unnecessary
alarm about the degeneracy of rural dis

just now the scare aft Acts New England.
When beautiful harhor Is full to the
brim at high tide, no hint Is given on the
sparkling surface of the water of the
rocks, the rubbish, the dock mud, and
the ill-smelling rivulets of sewage which
are in evidence when the tide goes out
and the mud flats are bare. A prosperous
town In New England Is like the harbor
at full tide. But, when changes come in
methods Of farming or manufacture, or
when the attractions of new countries
swell the current of emigration from that
town, then at low tide that which Is left
reveals itself. Naturally, all those who
are degenerate in mind, morals, body, or
estate, who are illiterate and unenterpris-
Ing. are left behind, and are more in evi
dence than before. When the tide comes
In again, as 1t will come, the evil and un-
slightly things will still be there; but
they will not be SO evident and offensive.
