The Lure of the City.

City life is like an intoxicant. Once one becomes familiar with the teeming life, the endless variety, the free play of brain and thought, to go back to the stillness of a rural community is like the sudden return to water as a drink after a generous enjoyment of alcohol. —Irish Homestead.
