A Western Land Owner.

1.-The following characteristic anecdote is
extracted from the papers entitled Seven
Years In ye Western Land now in course of
publication in the "Great Republic Monthly. d"
before noticed in our colu INNS
The poor farmer from the Eastern
States disposes OF his little dozen acres.
and with the proceeds thereof HES
away to some rich prairie, and epre-
empts, "enters,'' or "squatsn on some
hundreds of acres of the fertile black
mold of our land of milk and ho(mi)ney.
Here, instead of a wild, rough farm of
stony, stumpy hills, and fields of bar
ren, ,poyerty-stricken soil, such as he
lett. behind him, he finds noble ex
panse OF gently undulating prairie, free
from distractions, ready to receive the
plowshare, and yield enormous crops
from year to year, without the expen-
slVe process of an annual recuperation
by dressing and manuring. He straight
way becomes rich in a few years re-
visiting the old homestead and friends
he left IN the East, in very different
state of finances from what he first
started out with on his unpromising
journey for the far frontier. lie is now
man Ct immense substance; the pro-
.prletor of countless herds of cattle
the owner Of a town plot; the presi
dent of railroad, and the cashier of
wildcat bank.
1t is but few days since I saw an
account of a man of this kind, who had
recently purchased a slight addition to
his farm, to make it square, consisting
OF tltty-three thousand acres. Howev-
err, 1t will be as well, perhaps, to set that
down as piece of newspaper bombast;
but there is similar incident with
which am personally acquainted:
A young man, the son of a Quaker
capitalist from the city of Brotherlv
Love, landed one day in the busy little
burg of Dubuque, and commenced cir
culatlng inquiries as TO whether there
was any land to be bought within forty
miles OF that place at reasonable flo
ure, lntlmating, at the same time, his
wish to invest little surplus capital in
w estern speculations.
His intellectual and pecuniary calibre
beng pretty correctly surmised by some
OF the wags that abound in that vicin-
lty, he was referred to an old farmer
that lived few miles in the country,
beng assured that he was just the man
ne wanted to see, as he wished to sell
out and go further west.
Accordingly, our young Philadel-
phlan set out forthwith, and after a
brisk drive of an hour or so, found him
self at his destination, which was a
rlckety old log cabin about dozen feet
square. Leaning over the crazy gate
IN front of this domicile was the pro
prletor himself, leisurely smoking re-
markably dirty stump of pipe, and
looking altogether about as hard Gus
toner as you could find in month of
Sundays. A ragged felt hat covered
his grizzly hair and shaded his unshaven
