THE WEST FOR YOUNG MEN.

lucTe Is much III lilt CONSTITUTION vi
eastern life to discourage and depress
the laudable aspirations of young
men. The competition is so fierce i'll
thickly settled communities, that the
profits are exceedingly small. Capt.
tai absorbs everything to itself. One
gigantic mercantile establishment, by
underselling the smaller houses, rem
ders it impossible for them to earn a
subsistence by honest trade The
small capitalist labors under over
whelming disadvantages. No Won
der, therefore, that failures are so nu-
merous--no wonder that hundreds of
young merchants, discouraged by the
gloomy prospect before them, degene-
rate into mere clerks and hirclings for
the rest of their lives, or in despair,
abandon altogether the fields of indus
try, and sink into quick-sands of dis
sipation and degeneration.
The prospects in the professions :"
at the East are equally unfavorable.
Young men of decided talent, after
years of proftlcss cxertion in an East
ern city, are often seized with discour-
agement, and throw up their profess
sions altogether.
There is a surplus of the profess
sional class in every eastern city ;
what can they do? What brilliant
prospects can the future hold forth to
them One may succeed under the
favoring brcczes of circumstance,
while ninety-ninc others, equally gift
ed, perhaps, may pine away i'll power
ty and obscurity. This is no unnat-
uralIy tinted picture. There are thou
sands of young lawyers without
clients, and hundreds of young physi-
clans without patients, who cannot
deny its truthfulncss.
AS the heavy capitalists in CONNER
cial affairs discourage and ruin those
of limited means, SO in the professional
world, the old established lawyers and
venerable doctors, retain all the prac-
ticc that is worth having. The young
CT members Of these professions, Ike
Lazarus, are obliged to live upon the
crumbs which fall from the rich mans !
table. Who would cntrust their lives
or their property "to boys" as all
young men under forty are usually
in the East. Such being
the actual state of things, it is not
strange that so many of the "rising
generation" are pressing forward to-
take possession of the new and I'M
trodden fields of the West. Here is "a
country where the smallest capitals
may be employed to the greatest pos
sible advantage. The returns are not
five and ten, but an hundred fold. Tai
ent and merit of any kind, is here GER
tain to attain its natural level and to
secure an abundant compensation.
Every department of industry is equal
ly open to all There is everything
here to encourage young men to the
most vigorous exertion. The country
is developing with astonishing rapid
ty. The present is full of action.
Wealth is accommodating fast, from
sure and inexhaustable sources.
Mighty events are brewing, which
will tend to accelerate the wheels of
progress and carry emigration far be-
yond the limits of Iowa! Now
is the time for young men to come to
the West Come and select "goodly
heritage"

ILLINOIS STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY
AS before stated, the fair of the Hi
nois State Agricultural Society will
be held at Frceport, commencing on
the 9Th of September next. w. H.
Van Epps, Vice President of the Soci,
ETY., says that in many counties Far
mers' Clubs are formed, and evening
meetings are being held to discuss
farm matters, and feeling is ava
kening in behalf of agriculture that is
destined to pervadc every nook and
corner of the State, and will greatly
increase the attendance and interest
of the State Fair. This is as it should
be. Let farmers become enthusiastic
in behalf of their own calling, and if
they prosper, all other useful interests
will flourish also.

1t is said that several families in
this vicinity are living on very short
allowance-do not have suitable and
necessary food and clotling-and yet
the husbands and fathers of these
families find no difficulty in paying
their gambling and whiskey bills and
supporting fiddling and dancing. For
a year past these men have scarcely
done single days work, and yet they
think it the duty of the industrious
and frugal to bcstow charity upon
them and their families to keep them
from starving. The sooner such men
go to Pixies Peak the better.

Feeding Cattle.

Scion, the oracle, talking about a
drove Of Iowa cattle in the \. Y. mar
ket, sold at 10 a lie, says:
The owners, one of whom we be
licve is bank president, and sends
these cattle in place of cash remit
lance we presume, say they have been
fed lots of corn > to which we reply,
70: the benefit Of lowaians in general,
to very little purpose, since they do
not show their good feeding. If they
have been fed lots probably it was
in lots on the bleak prairie, exposed
to wintry storms, and so have not
given good account OF their feeding
But. worst OF all, they have not been
fed till ripe and farmer might just
as well send unripc corn here as un
ripe beef cattle Both heat and spoil
in transportation. The owners of these
cattle in Iowa would be unwilling to
own them here"
Old Gray Beard, yclcpt Scion Rob
inson, should have a care how he slam
ders Iowa. The talk about a bank
president sending lean cattle in place
Of cash remittance is all b0sh. No
bank president Of Iowa does any such
business. The cattle may or may
not have come from Iowa but if they
did, and their feeding was not good,
