BACK TO THE LAND.
NEW YORKERS WEARY OF
CITY LIFE.
Investigation shows that more than 25,000 familiee, tired of the struggle for mere existence in a city whose meretricions glitter had palled on them, are seriously considering an exit by the farm route (writes Willis Steall in the New York Herald.) Certain emall merchants, clerks, and other householders, who can't see that they are getting anywhere after toiling and passing out the wages of their toil for a decade or more, have eliminated from their hopes for the future every career except the farm. Only there do they see, or think they see, independence.
In this census the intending com muter isn't included. That class increases yearly. But whorever it goce, so long as it continues to earn ite bread in the city, the commuting class remains city at heart. The people who are preparing to quit New York have a different purpose in view when they start to look for a farm. They say, and they probably mean it, that they don't care if they never foot asphalt again.
HOW THEY ARE DIVIDED,
Information gleaned feen land agencies, barescs of population, trade compilers, railroad passenger agents, And non commercial sources shows that New Yorkers eager to quit the city for farm life are divided into the following classes;--
The poetical, who like to see the wind ripple through fields of corn and who thrill when the thrushes sing.
(These persons, it may be said at once, would starve on a farm.)
The city clerk who is aware that he has reached the limit of salary he can carn and who despito years of service still fears a temperamental burst from bis employer which might result in his losing his job.
(This class is aware that it know
"PLAY FARMERS.
It has been said that thousands of! New York residents are seriously seek ing information in the farm market. This is not an exaggeration at the moment, although a great proportion of them will doubtless change their minds or will postpone an exodus from the city until they find the very farm they want to own.
But the "play" farmer has been attracted by sn advertirement eatting forth the attractiveness of a small farm, with its fine old trees, its ran- niLg brook, its views, &c.

There are twice as many inquirers of the latter clase as of the former," said the farm agent who relieved himself of some of the wisdom con- centrated above.

November 1.-Theatre Royal, "Other People's Worries,"
There are still to be had choice farms in the East that havo been per mitted to lie idle. These "abandon ed", farme are getting better prices than were paid for them a few years ago, because the purchaser now has the intention of running it as a faro and notmorely as a summer residence. There are a good many, however, in Connecticut and Massachusetts and few in northern New York that may be had at a bargain whether the city purchater, bays for entire year servico or summer retreat.

(Theo citizens have the country in their blood; they have ever cherished a deriïe to return to the Isad. Their withes are modest, and if they fulfill their dream in nine cases out of ten they have no valid resson to repent.
