The West : The place for Young Men.

1t is subject of no little surprise that SO
many young men are content 10 remain IN
the older States when the new States and
territories Of the west afford such an ample
field Tor the employment Of their talents and
energy. There by industry and economy
the poorest Of them could rise to wealth and
honor in u comparatively brief period Of
time. Labor always commands high prices,
because i is always in demand, and il they
did not fee! inclined TO rake Gle kship or
any other employment, the judieious exPcn-
diture of very small amount OF means
would soon place them above contingencies.
of every kind. One thousand dollars prop
erly expended in the purchase oflands near
some navigable stream. or in the vicinity of
a thriving village, or where town or city
or manufactures would probably be located,
.r even where there WAS no such probabili-
ties. so that the land was fertile and we'll
adapted to grain growing, or contained val
liable minerals would yield an hundred odd
in few years. The history Of the country
fully demons trates this fact. Ohio, Indiana,
Kentucky, or any other lands could have
been Dough. 70 from two to six dollars per
acre. This is the inevitable result of the
progress Of the country. Do not, therefore,
the young men who are idling their time
away in the old States, lounging about, con-
tracing vicious habits, or accepting a clerk
ship upon salary so small as scarcely to
enable them to live decently and be honest
at the same time, or those who are employ
ed at hard labor stand very muth in their own
light. We think they do. In the far west
from Missouri to the beautiful regions Of
the setting sun, far away where the "proud
Pacific ehafes the strand" there is almost
d boundless field for the exercise OF human
energy and enterprise and where all can
find advantageous employment. The will
derness is to be subdued and rendered SUBJ
servient to the wants Of man II lays there
beautiful and sublime from its very loneli-
ness. Upon il the footprints ofeiyi!ization
are scarcely visible. II invites You for
ward Up then and away. Waltz not
moment. The world has eyes uponits fer.
tile valleys and hills. In brieftime all the
available lands will be seized upon, and
those who were slow in the race will have
to toll on for wealth forever a little fore
sight and plenty of enterprise are all the
capital that is needlul.
Young men shoulder your implements,
grid Up your loins for work, turn your face
that the rays Of the setting sun may kiss
your cheeks and forward march! The fu-
fnre for you is full OF brilliant PROMISE

He had a hard time between the Popos and

Young Luther TO the dust-coyered Bible in
