But few peraeuif who have visited the several States in the Western country hive ever written a true and full :tumid, of them, although any description liliveser brief, would have been rife with interest concern- Mg them. It is greatly : to be regretted that many of I our citizens have, within the past few years left thiir native homes. and hastened to a far \distant land unprepared for the many trials and misfortunes that have since fallen to their account, apt the result is, that many of them have returned weaker ur circum stances and body than when they left, and not a few, new" sleep beneath the sod of the prairies. Many, too, havit gone and pur chased property; at eahorbitant priesoictivideh from the seeming beauty of the leeation they had been induced to give,. and now that they have long attempted its cultivation properly, the fruits of their hard and mistiest labors, will not correspond with their then highly excited antleipatious.
