The UesterH Ferer.

Those who think that they have only
to get out into the ''great west" in order
to succeed in business are liable to disap-
pointment. The extent, fertility and re-
sources of the western country are not
likely to be over-estimated, but those
who leave comfortable homes and good
society in New England and 20 into the
new west to rough it, sometimes get dis
appointed, dsgusted and heart-sick, as
did the Worcester man of whom 4 ST.
Paul (Minn.) correspondent thus anus
ingly writes:
My friend had quilted the old Bay
state, disguised with its 'old fogy' ideas
and its slowness; he was going out west,
to the land of buundless resources and
liberal ideas he was going to expand
and grow, and raise thunder generally.
lie came to Minnesota and bought farm
"A farm in the belt of timber standing
along the west bank of the Mississippi.
Oh, what happy fellow lie was. His
loo cabin seemed Il palace his ncighbors
were atfectionate, and mosquito time had
not arrived. lie was delighted with the
hospitality of the settlers and their dis
position to dirde seemed TO him TO be a
characteristic quite peculiar to the west =
ern soul. Their dialect was peculiar,
but that only made them the more
charming
You bent much of farmer, said
they, but We allow you'll raise a right
smart chance of garden truck
How much shall probably lave to
sell off my place . said he, casting his
eyes over his field of imaginary flourish
ing truck. oh, bout 10 hunder dol
lars wuth, was the tlattering reply.
SO he went to work and dug and
dclvcd, and hoed, and his crop crowd.
until one fine day in the first part of
August Il severe frost came and nippcd
his hopes in the bud and his beans in the
pod. In the meantime he had willingly
divided with his neighbors he had di-
vided his soap and his sugar; his flour
and his pork, until his store was very
much depleted Until this time his ca
reer among his Ioosier neighbors had
been constant agricultural ovation ::
but with his provisions also vanished his
popularity. Upon what a small basis
sometimes does fame rest The division
of effects had not been entirely reciprocal,
and he declined to entertain that doctrine
any longer. But his refusal mattcred
little to his neighbors; they would divide
whether he would or not. So they di-
vided his pigs among themselves, and his
fowls also, leaving him without his share
they MIXED his cows and came in the
night and borrowed his farming implc-
mcuts, until realizing the insecurity of
all ear hly aspirations, and the justice OF
Providence, he abandoned his farm, and
is now selling patent rat-traps in ST.

During the war gentleman now Of
