best timber in the world. Shipbuilders
and bridgebuilders in every country are

Aud each Its use peculiar
ITO the miner, because the mines in
operation and those awaiting development
offer splendid inducements to men OF ex.

III little labor, little are our gains,
Mans fortunes are according 10 his pains.
ITO the old man, because the climate
is generous to the feeble body and gives
new lease to life tottering to its fall
ITO the chronic reformer, because there
is a wide field for practice rather than
theory. There is lot of fellows in the
east who might come out here and be
useful and fill the mouths OF their hungry
babies and stop up their own.
Take the JOY that springs from labor.
Work feed myself, 10 thine own powers appeal
NOR WINNIE out woes thine own right hand can
heal.
TO the mechanic, because new in.
dustries are springing up, and must con-
tinue to increase in number and variety

ITO the sick man, because this is q
genial climate with equable temperature
and bright sunshine, filled with balsamiC
breezes from pine forests and tonic seq
air from the grand and wide Pacific. In.
valids find relief from the ills and pains
common to the man in the colder parts
