WESTW ARD, HO!

The amount of emigration westward
is not at all realized by a population
SO quiet and inland as ours. The flow
goes on, as mighty and resistless as
the waves of the sea. There is not a
town, village, or hamlet but which
is tributary to the mighty stream
which carries industry, capital, sci,
ence and civilization to the new EN-
pires of labor that are constantly
springingup in the West The young,
the middle-aged and the old all go to
the West; and it is wonderful to be-
hold the transformations the change
seems to work in character, business
and mental habits, as well as in health
and length of life. Those who have
always remained in sight of their ma
tive wales at the east, and have seen
next to nothing of the outside world,
are completely absorbed in the idea
that their torn is the centre Of the uni
verse, and seem fully to believe that
any young man or woman who breaks
away from the old hive is a., crazy
fool and that "out west" the chances
will be altogether against them. 1t
is otherwise with us +; for, dearly as
we love our friends, and much as we
prize their society and home-sympathy,
we are glad to see them-any of them,
the best of them--pull up stakes and
set off to people and build up the
great West. How many, oh, how
many such, have already departed
thither and yet the cry is going,
going, gone! The other day, we
bade good bye to Frank Wheat, Henry
Wood, and Dan. Carr, and several
others-good and true men and women,
en- route for Iowa, whittier have al
ready gone, within the last few years,
scores and scores of the best fellows
we ever knew. Among them are
farmers, doctors, preachers, teachers,
lawyers, editors, printers, bankers
merchants and mechanics, as thorough
and competent in their respective
callings as ever struck blow and
among them all, we do not recollect a
single one that has made out poorly
All seem to have done well while
some have become rapidly rich. Ii
Iowa, cities and towns spring up as
by magic and as soon as it's interna
resources are more fully developed, il
will, we believe, show the growth OF
a State, unparalleled in the history OF
the Union-Franklin, ". Y, T1sitm.

accomplishing our short but hilly OF
" "bluffy" journey, we pronounced il
the hardest mile "to travel" we had
ever undertaken.
The path leading to the grave was
similar to Scottish sheep walk il
the highlands, and traversed the bluff
on the banks of the Mississippi, being
about midway between the overhang
ing rocks above and the river below
The tall overarching trees above us
formed fine natural arbor to protecr

contend that flowers are fully as sensi
tive with regard to sunshine as we
are, if happy faces are the criterion.
Dubuquc's grave is situated on a
high bluff or point overlooking the
broad expanse of the Father of Wa
ters, and the emJouchure of Cat Fish
creek. A stone house, similar to a
tomb in form, at one time surmountcd
by red cross, marked the spot, OF
which very little remains, except a
few rough stones belonging to the
foundation. Mr.. Langworthy relates
that when he visited the tomb in 1880
the remains of two Indian Chiefs were
deposited within, which was consider
ed by the red denizens of the forest, a
mark of great distinction. On the
cross was an inscription in French,
which being Anglicanized, reads as
follows
JULIAN DUBUQUE, Miner, of the Mines of Spain.
Died this Gath day of March, 1910 aged 45 vs. and emo
About three feet of the cross which
originally surmounted the tomb still
remains, but that contemplate spirit
which prompted the Earl of Elgin in
depriving Greece of her ancient mas
ter-pieces of Art, will soon render this
useless, as almost every visitor to this
spot cuts off chip as a memento.
This part of the cross is covered
with names cut into the wood. l left
this interesting spot without carrying
away the usual memento, simply in
scribing my initials on the old stick.
There is vague tradition, that at
one time large leaden door led to a
chamber in the tomb. If this is true,
lead must have been thought too valu-
able material for the door of the
tomb of the original founder of Du-
buque 1t is also said that some time
before his death Dubuque expressed a
wish to be buried on this spot. He
certainly had keen eye for the pictu-
rescue, but | do not suppose that he
imagined that at one time a large
city bearing his name would loom up
in majestic splendor SO near to his
last resting place. We were amply
paid for our toilsome walk, having
never visited more lovely place to
dissipate cold obstructions apathy"

My Writing Table.

My WRITING TABLE, let ME say,
Is hencetorth to be set away:
I'll fold its arms, all clean and bare,
And leave it standing idle there.
It's borne its WRONGS with courage tr,;c,
It's burdens with tirmncss due,
Thrown light on darkness-yet fear
Its faults, tho vanished, might appear.
These time-worn volumes, like myself,
May now be laid upon the shelf:
They're fraught with many lesson good
As needful as our daily food;
Their truths through many ages hence
Will live-an ample recompense
For all the time and toll they've cost
No real good was ever lost.
These "HARpER, "GoDEY,' what q pile
Items and fragments let me file
For future use this rubbish burn,
And may from its ashes learn
True wisdom. Such the destiny
Of all who live unworthily,
Must all the beauteous forms we see
Become as dust and vanity.
This INKsTAND-what dismal plight
This once I'll press the stopper tight;
How much of purity it's spoiled
How many dear bought pages soilcd
At present I've no use for ink
IT'S better far, than write to think;
I'll place it where, if in strait
TO pin thought, need not wait.
This PEN is rllsty-good for nought-
1t never could express a thought
With ease or beauty-style or taste
lis NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to haste
I'll throw it Quits run it's race
Let mightier ones supply its place.
Had | the pen of Watts or Moore
would with pleasure write still more.
