The Philadelphia Ledger says the ap-
probation of things unseen is the great
want of our age. When men engross
their thoughts with the means Of grats.
flying their appetites and senses, they
lose sight of higher realities. Prosper
ity in material things too often dims the
spiritual insight. Fashion triumphs
over good judgment; style and show
take precedence of honor and integrity !:
the dignity of Office and position are
sought for rather than the fitness to full.
fill their requirements. Some there are
who believe only in what they see and
hear, and to whom the invisible resli.
ties of the present and the future life
are but dreams and fables. Such men
ignore the noblest parts Of their being.
The ignorance which cramps and eef7e
fines the mind to earth's Visible objects
deprives it of its noblest Joys and great
est freedom. But firm reliance on
truth, duty and affection on the exist.
ence of Infinite Goodness, and the pros.
poets of future life, and a recognition
of the things unseen as being lifa;s
deepest realities, elevate the mind, pir-
ify the heart, and infuse into exisfenca
joy that no outward trials can snlfg.
and that death itself cannot destroy.

A MODEL OLD FoGY.-One Of she
Oregon papers says: A few days ago
an emigrant train was making ell sail
northward up through our valley, and
the wild looking driver seemed 70 be
laboring under great excitement, crack
ing his ''blacksnake" round the legs Of
his spawned horses, and yelling &c sv-
cry jump they made. Halo y
said we. "Hoorap said he, "whazes
Rooshen America ?" We explained
that the object of his enquiries lay
about twelve hundred miles northward
and just as hard to reach as "Jordon.n
besides being almost uninhabited, ex-
cept by Indians and grislies. He gave
a yell that would have made an Apache
ashamed of himself, and said, aThat,s
the place I'm hunting for. I've hearn
that the big folks in Washington have
boughten a track where Tiers nothing
but bars and Injuns, and them's the on-
ly 'habitants want. / lived in FEankS
lin county, Kansas" he added, aand I'll
be doggoned, stranger, IL the darned
railroads haven't cut the county all to
pieces and druv the game all away. I've
heard 'em talk about making one in Or
egon, and I'll just be burned il want
any railroad in mine. Hoora for Roosh-

A Word TO You've MEN.-We ex-
tract from ''Carleton's" recent volume,
'The Seat of Empire" the following
appeal to young men who are doing
woman's work behind the counter, or
doing no work at all. We should think
it would stir them up to be men, and
emigrate:
would not make the farmers of New
England discontinued. / would not
advise all to put up their farms at auc-
ton, or any well-to-do farmer of Massa-
chusetts or Vermont to leave his old
home and rush out here without first
coming to survey the country; but if /
were a young man selling corsets and
hoop skirts to simpering young ladies
in a city store, / would give such a
jump over the counter that my feet
would touch ground in the city of a
great prairie.
/ would have a homestead out here.
True, there would be hard fare at first.
The cabin would be of logs. There
would be short comings for year or
two. But with my salt pork would
have pickerel, prairie chickens, moose
and dear. ! should have calloused hands
and the back-ache at times; but my
sleep would be sweet. 1 SHOULD have
no IDeaIfe 10 WISH n2ntiy, no star actors
to see, and should miss the tramp of the
great multitude of the city-the ever
hurrying throng. The first year might
be lonely; possibly should have the
blues now and then but, possessing my
soul with patience a tweIvemonfh, I
should have neighbors. The railroad
would come. The little log hut would
give place TO mansion. Roses would
bloom in the garden, and morning
gIories open their blue bell by the door
way. The vast expanse would wave
with golden grain. Thrift and plenty,
and civilization with all its comforts
and luxuries would be mine.
Are the colors of the picture too
bright? Remember that in 1919 Min
nesota had less than five thousand in
habitants, and that to-day she has nearly
FIVE hundred thousand.
/ am writing to young men who have
the whole scope of life before them.
You are clerk in store, with salary
of five hundred dollars, perhaps seven
hundred. By stinting here and there
you can just bring the year around. It
is a long, long look ahead, and your
brightest day-dream of the future is not
very bright.
