The main road leading through this
place to Council Bluffs and ST. joseph.
is lined with men, horses, oxen and wag-
ons from morning till night, steadily
vending their tedious way to the far-fa-
med Eldorado.
As we stand in our office door. and
see this mighty army of gold-seekers
steadily moving on, impelled by the mag
ic, intoxicating influence produced by the
discovery of gold dist on the shores of
the Pacific, feeling of sadness comes
over us as we reflect on the misery and
suffering that many of these adventures
will undergo the next few months, to
find all their fond hopes disappointed,
and an inhospitable grave in far dis
tant land.

tain and too precarlous chances of gain
ing fortune in few months. And
suppose these worshippcrs at the shrine
of wealth should escape the fearful raw
ages of disease and death, and be among
he few who succeed in gaining u fortune,
could gold of itself buy their happiness?
Look into the history and lives of such
men as Astor; the mobiles and lords OF
wealth, for true answer to this ques-
ton. No! Riches have no power 10
to bring happiness. A competency
