It is plainly seen that
there are many changes
in the style Of liv.
ing since the days Of
long ago. Great changes
are waiting at the very door
OF the two grand old States
OF West Virginia and Nir-
ginia. We may search the
hills, mountains and val
leys over from the Granite
hills OF New Hampshire to
the orange slopes OF Gala
fornia; from the beautiful
lakes OF Minnesota and all
along the Niagara, none will
surpass the elevated plains
of Deer Park and other
points along the Baltimore
l. Ohio Railroadin West Nir-
ginia, for beautiful scenery.
For convenient access,
and cheapness Of living.
The place for the schools
OF the whole country: cool
bracing breezes in midsum-
mer and winters a grand
medium between the cold
and chilling blasts OF the
North and damp miasmatic
elements Of the South.
Now to sum up this hasty
letter and rs cxhortatiOn
tucked on the tail end ofa
sermon. Look ut the facts:
You have been scanningthe
country over; you who have
passed the meridian Of life;
you young and ambitious
men, there is no brighter
future for you at this age
and period OF human pro-
grCss than to rest your i'm
aginations upon the things
that are within your viow,
east along the Alleghenies.
There are no such fields in
the Weet for educational en-
terprises. There is no field
here equal TO that Of the
very country near which
you live. Mechanics have
an inviting field before
them. The miner fills one
of the most important po-
sitions from the crown OF
the Appalachian chain to
to the sea. The population
il meagrc and there is
room enough for thousands.
EvES THE HUNTER CASLIvE.
Even the hunter has his
sports, and can draw from
the same n living for a well
supported family OF ablc
and healthy children. The
piscatorian can reap an
abundant means from the
gurgling brooks and iced
the hungry OF tho land.
