Life's Opportunities.

Life is, in a great degree, what we make
it. We are not to sit passiyely awaiting
the good time; but we are to strive with
a mighty strength of purpose to make Of
ourselves examples of goodness, wisdom,
integrity and high moral courage, so that
when the end shall come we shall feel we
have not lived in vain. And how shall we
succeed if we heedlessly pass by Iife's
precious opportunities? We would not
enforce upon our readers the necessity of
grasping great opportunities alone-far
from it; for, do not the little drops of
water make the broad restless oeean?; And
where the desert but for the little grains
of sand? So it is that little opportuni-
ties for doing good, little lessons that may
at present seem so unimportant, help ma
terially to lay the foundation for great
and useful life.
Our faculties for exercising an influence
over others are so many and great that i6
is difficult to converse together without
exerting a mutual influence; and every
man who critically examines his intellect
ual and moral state will observe that how
ever short his interview with another per-
son may be it has had an effect upon him.
And this influence is usually exerted when
we think little about it; but we have prob
ably left impressions upon some minds
which will never be erased. And this in
huence and, ,constaney has often great power
A single instance of advice, reproof, cau-
tion, or encouragement, may decide the
question Of mans respectability, useful
ness and happiness for lifetime. How
important, then, that We improve every
opportunity to make our lives blessing
to others

LOUISE.

With oRsr team and q few dollars the
cmigrant determines TO make himself a
home in the wilds of the West. His first
arc is TO build sod house, as he must
L1vc q shelter. That done, about the mid
die of May he commences breaking prairie,
and if he has good horse team, succeeds
in getting from forty to sixty acres broken
by the middle of June. A few acres of
the first breaking are usually planted to
corn, dropped into q cut made through the
sod with an axe, which incision is closed
with the foot of the planter. This cannot
be cultivated, and is wholly at the mercy
Of the season. Half the time it is failure,
bu. in q favorable season yields from twenty
to thirty bushels to the acre. MELONS,
pumpkins and squashes usually do well
cn sod, end turnips GOWN in midsummer
seldom fail. In the fall ne "back-sets' his
ground with his breaking plough, taking
IN inch or so of ground below the spring
breaking. The ground should not be
plowed deeper than It is thoroughly rooted.
The ground is now ready for the crop, and
his wheat is usually sown the last of Feb
ruary OF early in March. He has plenty
of work to do, and hard work at that. No
chance to make money escapes him. The
first year or two is almost invariably one
of hardslips and privations for the aver
age homesteader The weak or shiftless
ones usually give way in despair and turn
eastward. The resolute ones stay, and
soon have comfortable homes. No young
man should go West unless he is prepared
