The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1891-10-31

There is very good authority for
believing that prophet is not we'll
appreciated in his own country, but
it is equally true that many places
are not without honor save among
their own prophets. This is notably
the case in West Virginia. We have
the resources that would afford a
rich mine for brilliant advertisements
to Western State, and instead of
letting people know that we have a
State of which we have many reasons
to be proud, we have way of emu
merating disadvantages, forgetting
that we are pursuing The best policy
for fostering them. We are unde-
veloped, that is undeniable, but we
have much to develop, and in that
particular have unsurpassed reason
for self-gratulatien, and it might be
as well to mention the fact that we
are progressing rapidly along the
line of development when we call up
on strangers to listen to our tale Of
woe.

One OF our business men Who hal
recently returned from ar EXTENDED
western trip said that he had seen
no place where young men had better
opportunities for success than right
here in West Virginia. He said that
to an outside observer all places in
this one particular seemed much the
same-that in each one were the
crowds Of successful men srrayed in
strong contrast, against the crowds
of those unsuccessful. 1t is q fact
that we need to remember that sue
cess depends much more on the man
than on his surroundings. Perhaps
it would be better to say that the
successful man knows how to find
the proper surroundings, and all men
resemble water in their accomplish
ment of seeking their proper level.
When man cries out against fate
and protests that circumstances and
not himself are responsible for his
failure it is sure indication of his
own weakness Strong men create
circumstances.

/ heard woman telling of her life
in the "timber lands" of Iowa. She
had gone there years ago with her
husband and children, and had stay
ed until the loneliness, and the long
ing for the old home she had left be-
hind became unbearable, and she had
returned to end her days among the
friends of her youth.
She said that they cut at first only
the logs for their one roomed house,
and then throughout the winter they
cut down the trees as they needed
them for fuel, and in the springtime
they added two more rooms to their
house, and found they had fifty acres
of cleared land. She told how the
wolves howled about their home at
night, how they would scare them
back into the darkness by running
out with flaming torches, and how
an awful homesickness which they
could not escape settled down upon
them all when they realized how far
from any other human beings their
rude cabin was placed, and how thev
were surrounded by savage beasts
whose fierce snarling made more ter
rible the wild, piercing shrieks of the
winter wind with which they were
mingled.
She said that one day she found a
tiny piece of coal in the pocket of
one of her husbands old coats, and
she called her girls around her, and
together they talked of the great
coal-fields Eat home and how dear
even the smoke was to them now,
and together they watched the little
ornament sparkle and glow and melt
away into ashes.
She lacked the qualities essential
to successful pioneer, she did not
feel that the possession of land and
loneliness and discomfort was equal
to humble, rented home with friends
about her, and the conveniences OF
life within her reach as she had the
means to obtain them.
That many other people have look
ed upon life differently the populous
west bears witness to-day, but it is
nevertheless true that men must con-
slider their own natures when they
bid for position in life. The West
is doubtless the place where success
will come to many men, but there is
nothing in the atmosphere nor the
geographical position to insure
against failure, and there are many
other men who are sure of a greater
measure of prosperity by remaining
where their early associations an
Choir them.

IT WAS A ROYAL WEDDING.
A Magnificent Court Array at the Marriag,
of Archduchess Louise.

A Magnificent Court Array at the Marriage
of Archduchess Louise.
VIENNA, Nov. 22.-The marriage of the
Archduchess Louise, of Austria-Tuscany,
and Prince Frederick Augustus, of Saxony,
was stately ceremony. The chapel in
which the ceremony took place is
small one, and most of the
invited guests had to be content
with view of the bridal procession. This
consisted of pages, chamberlains, Ministers
and officers of state in elaborate costumes; 16
pages attired in the dress OF the period of
Maria Theresa and 16 archdukes in the
uniforms of their respective regiments.
Then came the bridegroom between the
Emperor and King of Saxony, and the
bride between her mother and the Queen of
Saxony.
The bride wore court train of moire an
tique, embroidered with golden roses. She
was followed by six archduchesses, all wear
ing trains ten feet long and attended
by the Mistress of the Robes
The chapel organ was supplemented
by the Court String Band, all attired in
court Dress Their Majesties were enthroned
under a crimson canopy. The Papal Nuncio
had special seat in the nave. After the
ceremony the couple advanced and made
obeisauce to their Maesties, who embraced
them.
