prehcnsion dispelled, II remains to speak
Of tho inducements OF the West to East
ern business men, contemplating Ger
iously change OF residence with view
to do better, or seeking the best paying
Investment for unemployed capital.
No mstter whether merchant, farmer,
mechanic, laborer, professional, or what
he may be, il he only DO stout OF heart,
able in body, willing and determined in
mind, energetic and persevering ia &C.
ton, tho West affords 90 ample scope for
tho growth and expansion ofxhe genius
Of industry, mental, moral and physical;
the heavily tim6ered forests, fertile soil
and salubrious climate Of Central and
Northern Michigan, invitingly fresh
from the hand OF nature, Offering induce
ments to tho pioneer nowhere surpassed
and equalled by few localities in the
world; tho sunny prairies OF Illinois,
the plains and forests Of Wisconsin,
Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, aye
aud Missouri, to say nothing Of the
broad expanse stll! westward, oil Offer
inducements to tho surplus population
and capital Of New York and New En-
gland, worthy Of attentive consideration.
The Western world looks to the East "a
the basis Of her growth and prosperity,
to the industrious, the enterprising and
honest who seek . permanent residence
and an honorable livelihood, who can
scarcely 90 amiss Of q good location 10
any portion Of tho western country
But unprinoipled adventurous and float
lug fortune seekers, who arc ready to
make money at all hazards, and would
AZ soon accumulate fortune by specu.

necessities Of their fellows, as 10 an,
other manner, are not wanted. For su

human beings continually sweeping wee
ward bears, as natural consequence o

both sorts, along upon its broad sur
face; many whose advent is a benefit &C
themselves and . blessing to others
some who are curse to themselves anG
into, and others again who do no harm
and little good to themselves and those
around them. To industry, honesty and
perseverance, in whatever legitimate av.

problematical, a caution being always Oh.
