Are you broken merchan, al homel Then
out West. The tree that has been uprooied
by The hurricane and robbed of its foliage by
hungry sheep and cattle, will grow again in
this genial soil. Here nobody knows you, and
you can trade on tick. Many Of our most pros
porous merchants have been logged from their
native land by pack of voracious creditors.
Here you may 60 ahead on scale commensu.
rate with the ideas of the Country. You may
measure tape by the mile and velvet by the
acre, and if your new creditors should run you
up tree, you can jump off, and light on Tex
as, or repudia,e. The West has the advan-
,age of all countries in situation. If the Uni
led States are steamboat, the West is the
cabin should the boiler burst, all we have TO
do is to Jump into the keels, Oregon and Tex
ashley arc handy.
Again, are you conscious Of genius and tai
en,s that must ever be hidden under bushel
in the land of your birth Then off TO The
West. "Once codhopper, always clodhop-
per" is the law in the old states. o snap the
chain that binds you to some dull drudgery
when there may be phosphorus enough In your
head To eulghten the world when The sun goes
out. Shove westward, and let your light
shine, privilege enjoyed by bugs, worms and
rotten chips in ",hese diggins." Enter upon
any profession that comes first to hand. A
shoemaker may become powerful preacher
as nobody can make deeper impression on
the sole especially by brdying. A fireman
makes good doctor, because diseases in this
country may be expelled by steam. A barber
makes crack lawyer because he is used to
shaving. -......
Again, are you a Christian seized with
sincere desire to lay out your energies where
they will tell most forcibly on the destinies OF
man! Then gather up you bibles and tracts
and off 10 the West. Do show US here that
Christians are no, an extinct genus The rell'
gious opinions of The West are perfect chaos.
Every body has surrendered the doctrines Oh
the nursery but no body has settled on any
particular creed. Most folks doubt whether
there is another world or not. They think
thai the West is the limit of the UniveEse.-
But prove TO them that there is another world
batter than Wisconsin,. and the uniform laws
of emigration will ensure rush in that dlrec-
ton. :,
