LIFE'S SUNNY SPOTS Though Life% a dark and thorny path, Its goal the silent tomb, It yet BOMB spots of sunshine bath, That smile amid the gloom. The friend who weal and woe partakes, Unchanged, whate'er hie lot, Who kindly soothes the heart that aches, Is, sure, a sunny spot. The wife who half our burden shares, Amtutters not a moan ; Whose ready hand wipes off our tears Unheeded all her own ; Who treasures every ktndlyi.word, Eaoh harsher one forgot, And carols blithely as a bird, She's too a sunny spot. The ohild who lifts, at morn and eve, In prayer its tiny voice ; Who grieves whene'er its parents grieve, And joys when they rejoice ; In whose bright eye young genius glows Whose heart, without a blot, Is fresh and pure as summers rose ; • That child's a sunny spot.' There's yet, upon Life's weary road, One spot orbrighter glow ; Where sorrow half forgets its load, And tears no longer flow— Friendship may wither; love decline, Our child his honor blot, But still undimmed that spot will shine— Religion lights that spot' A TRIP TO MINNESOTA Correspondence of the Boston Post. CROW - WING, 611 x., October, 1856 It ie maintained by the reviewers, I be lieve, that the duller the writer is the more acourate he should be. In the outset of this letter, I desire to testify my acquies cence in the justice of that dogma, for if, like neighbor Dogberry "I were as tedious as a king," I could not find it in my heart to bestow it all without a measure of util ity. I shall try to answer some questions which I imagine might be put by different classes of men who are interested in this part of the west. My last letter had some hints to the farmer, and I can only add, in addition, for his benefit, that the most available locations are now a considerable distance• above St. Paul. The valley of the St. Peters is pretty much taken up ; and so of the valley of the Mississippi for a distance of fifteen miles on either side to a point a hundred miles above St. Paul.— One of the land officers at Minneapolis informed me that there were good preemp tion claims to be had fifteen miles west, that being as far as the country was thick ly settled. One of the finest regions now unoccupied, that I know of, not to except even the country , on the Crow Wing river, is the land bordering on the Ottertail lake. For forty miles all round that lake the land is splendid. More than a •dozen dis interested eye witnesses have described that region to me in. the most glowing terms. In beauty, in fertility, and in the various collateral resources which make a farming country desirable, it is not sur passed. It lies south of the picturesque highlands or hauteurs des terres, and about midway between the sources of the Crow Wing and North Red rivers. From this town the distance to it is sixty miles. The lake itself .s ten miles long and five miles in width. The water is clear and deep, and abounds with white fish that are fa -, moue for their delicious flavor. The fol lowing description, which I take from Captain Pope's official narrative of his ex ploration, is a reliable description of this' delightful spot, now fortunately on the eve of being settled—" To the west, northwest, and northeast, the whole countryis . heavily timbered with oak, elm, ash, maple, birch, bass, &0., &c. Of these the sugar maple is probably the most valuable, and in the vicinity of Ottertail lake large quantities of maple sugar are manufactured by the Indians. The wild rice, which exists in these lakes in the most lavish profusion, constitutes a most necessary article of food with the Indians, and is gathered in large quantities in the months of September and October. To the east the banks of the lake are fringed with heavy oak and elm timber to the width of one mile. The whole region / 1)f country for fifty miles in all directions around the lake is among the most beaudul and fertile in the world.— The fine scenery of lakes and open groves of oak timber, of winding streams connect ing them, and beautifully rolling country on all sides, renders this portion of Minne sota the garden spot of the northwest. It is impossible in a report of this character, to describe the feeling of admiration and astonishment with which we first beheld the charming country in the vicinity of this lake ; and were I to give expression to thy own feelings and opinions in reference to it, I fear they would be considered the ra vings of a visionary or an enthusiast."— But let me say to the speculator that he need not covet any of these broad acres.— There is little chance for him. Before that land can be bought at public sale or by mere purchasers at private sale is will, I feel sure, be entirely occupied by actual settlers. And so it ought to be. The good of the territory is promoted by that beneficent policy of our public land laws, which gives the actual settler the first and best chance to acquire a title by preemp tion.: Speculators have located a great many land 'warrants in Minnesota. Some hive been located on lakes, some on swamps, some on excellent land. Of course the owner, who as a general thing is a non-res ident, leaves his land idle for something to ccturn up" to make it profitable. There it stands doing no good, but on the contrary is anincumbrance to the settler who has to travel over and beyond it without meeting the face of a neighbor in its vicinity. The policy of new states is to tax non-resident landholders at a high rate. When the ter ritory becomes a state, and is obliged to raise a revenue, some of those fellows out side, who, to use a phrase common up here, have plastered the country over with land warrants, will have to keep a look oat for the tax gatherer. Now I do not mean to discourage moneyed men from investing in Minnesota lands. I do not wish to raise any bugbears,but simply to let them know that by horing up large tracts of land without making improvements, and leaving it to increase in value by the toil and en ergy of the pioneer, is a way of doing things which is not popular with the actual settler. But there is a great deal of money to be made by judicious investments in land.— Buying large tracts of land I believe to be the least profitable speculation, unless in deed the purchaser knows exactly what he is buying, and is on hand at the public sale to set the benefit of a second choice. I say second choice, because the preemptor has had the first choice long ago, and it may be before the land was surveyed.— What I would recommend to speculators is to purchase in some good town sites. Bay in two or three, and if one or two happen to prove failures the profits on the other will enable you to bear the loss. I know of a man who invested $6OOO at St. Paul six years ago. He has sold over $30,000 worth of the land, and has as much more left. This is but an ordinary instance.— The advantage of buying lots in a town arises from the rapid rise of the value of the land, the ready market, and withal the moderate prices at which they can be procured during the early part of its his tory. To such persons as have a desire to come west and are not inclined to be farmers, and who have not capital enough to engage in mercantile business, there is sufficient employment. A new country always opens avenues of successful business for every industrious man and woman; more kinds even than 1 can enumerate. Every branch of mechanics needs workmen of all grades; from the boy who planes the rough boards to the head workman. Teaming affords good employment for young men the year round. The same may be said of the saw mills. A great deal of building is going on constantly; and those who have good trades get $2,50 per day. lam speaking of course, of the territory in general.— One of the most profitable kinds of miscel laneous business is surveying. This art requires the services of large numbers ; not only to survey the public lands, but town sites and the lands of private indi uiduals. Labor is very high everywhere in the west, whether done by men, women or children—evan the boys not fourteen years old, who clean the knives and forks on the steamboats, get $2O a month and are found. But the best of it all is, that when a man earns a few dollars he can easily invest it in a piece of land, and double his money in three months, perhaps a month. One of the merchant princes of Boston, the late Col. T.- H. Perkins, pub lished a notice in a Boston paper in 1789, he being then 25, that he would embark on board of the ship Astrea for Canton, and that if any one desired to commit an " adventure" to him they might be assured of his exertions for their interests. The practice of sending "adventures" ',beyond the seas" is not so common as it was once; and instead thereof men invest their funds in western prizes. But let me remark in regard to the fact I relate that it shows the true pioneer spirit. Col. Perkins was a pioneer. His energy led him beyond the counting room, and he reaped the re ward of his exertions in a great fortune. I have now a young man in .my mind who came to a town ten miles this side of St. Paul, six months ago' with $5OO. He commenced trading and has already by good investments and the profits of his business doubled his money. Everything that one can eat or wear brings a high price, or as high as it does in any part of the west. The number of visitors and emigrants is so large that the productions of the territory are utterly inadequate to supply the market. Therefore large quan tities of provisions have to be brought up the river from.the lower towns. At Swan river, 100 miles this side of St. Paul, pork is worth $35. Knowing that pork consti tutes a great part of the "victuals" up this way, though fat: from being partial to the article, I tried it when I dined at Swan river to see if it was good, and found it to to be very excellent. Board for laboring men must be about four dollars a week.— For transient visitors at Crow Wing it is one dollar a day. . I have heard it said that money is scarce. It is possible It certainly com mands a high premium ; but the reason is, that there are such splendid opportunities to make fortunes by building and buying and selling city lots. A man intends that the rent of a house or store shall pay for its construction in three years. The profits of adventure justify a man in paying high interest. If a man has money enough to buy a pair of horses and a wagon he can defy the world. These are illustrations to show why one is induced to pay interest. Ido do not think, however, money is"tight." I never saw people so free with their money, or apitar to have it in so great abundance. There is one drawback which this terri tory has in common with the greater part of the west, in faot of the civilized world. It is not only a drawback, but a nuisance anywhere; I mean drinking or whisky shops. The greater portion of the settlers are temperate men lam sure ; but in almost every village there are places where the meanest kind of intoxicating liquor is sold. There are some who sell liquor to the In dians. But such business is universally considered as the most degraded that a mean man can be guilty of. It is filthy to see men staggering under the influence of bad whiskey, or any kind of whiskey.— He who sends a young husband to his new cabin home intoxicated, to mortify and tor ment his family; or who sells liquor to the uneducated Indians, that they may fight and murder, must have his conscience—if he has any at all—cased over with sole leather. Mr. Gough is needed in the west. Minnesota is not behind in education.— Ever since Governor Slade, of Vermont, brought some bright young school mis tresses up to St. Paul (in 1849) common school education has been diffusing its pre cious influences. The government wisely sets apart two sections of land—the 16th and 36th—in every township for school purposes. A township is six miles square; and the two sections thus reserved in each township comprise 1280 acres. Other territories have the same provision. This affords a very good fund for educational uses, or rather it is a great aid to the ex ertions of the people. There are some flourishing institutions of learning in the territory. But the ''greatest institution after all in the country—the surest protec tion of our liberties and our laws—is the free school. POPULATION OF THE WORID.—The la test, and apparently the fairest estimate of the population of the world, makes it eleven hundred and fifty millions ; viz : Pagans, six hundred and seventy-six millions; Christians, three hundred and twenty millions ; and Jews, fourteen millions.— Of Christians, the church of Rome numbers one hundred and seventy millions, tho Greek and Eastern Churches, sixty mil lions ; and Protestants, ninety millions.

CHARACTER BETTER THAN CREDIT.— We often hear young men, who have small means, dolefully contrasting their lot with those of rich men's sons. Yet the longer we live, the more we are convinced that .the old merchant was right, who said to us when we began life : "Industry, my lad, is better than ingots of gold, and character more valuable than credit." We could furnish, if need were, from our own experience, a score of illustrations to prove the truth of his remarks. In all branohes of business, in all avocations, character, in the long run, is the best cap ital. Says Poor Richard : "The sound of your hammer at five in the morning, or nine at night, heard by a creditor, makes him easy for six months longer; but if he sees you at a billiard table, or hears your voice at a tavern, when you should be at work, he sends for his money the next day." What is true of the young me chanic, is true also of the young merchant, or of the young lawyer. Old and sagacious firms will not long continue to credit for thousands of dollars when they see the purchaser, if a young man, driving fast horses or hanging about drinking saloons. Clients will not entrust their cases to advocates, however brilliant, who frequent the card-table, the wine party, or the race course. It is better, in beginning life, to secure a reputation for industry and pro bity, than to own houses and lands, if, with them, you have no character. A facility of obtaining credit at the outset is often an injury instead of a ben efit. It makes the young beginner too venturesome, fills him with dreams of too early fortune, tempts him too much to neglect hard work, forethought, caution and economy. Excessive capital is as frequently a snare to a young man. It has almost passed into a proverb, in con sequence, that the sons of rich men never make good business men. To succeed in life we must learn the value of money. But a superfluity of means at the outset is nearly a certain method of rendering us insensible to its value. No man ever grewrich who had not learned and prac tised the adage, "if you take care of the pennies the dollars will take care of them selves." Knowledge of men, self-disci pline, a thorough mastery of our pursuit, and other qualifications, which all persons of experience look for, are necessary to give the world security that a young man is of the right material. Capital may be lost, but character never. Credit once gone, the man without character fails. But be who has earned a reputation for capacity, integrity and economy, even if he loses his capital, retains his credit, and rises triumphant over bankruptcy itself. A man with character can never be ruined. It is the first thing that a young man should seek to secure, and it may be had by every one who desires it in earnest. A poor boy with character is more fortunate by far than a rich man's son.—B alt . Sum. WHAT HAVE YOU BE EN DOING ?- N o thin g . Is that your reply ? Have you no other answer to make Then you are living to no purpose. You are a useless incumbrance to society. You are not only of no use to yourself and to others; but you are a detriment and a burden. You produce nothing and yet you consume ; you eat, but do not work ; you are clothed, but not by any exertion of your own. If you neither labor with your hands nor your head, your mind nor your muscles, you must be either a pauper or a robber. But are you doing nothing ? That is impossible. 4g If the devil finds a man idle, he generally sets him to work." The proverb is verified every day. Look to it —ascertain who your employer is. You are doing something—that is unavoidable ; is it good or harm? You may stand idle at the street corner—you may lounge in a saloon ; you may be listless and indifferent to your own welfare and to the best interest of those depending upon you for support, for council and guidance ; but still you are doing something. If you are not ad vancing you are retrograding; if you are not progressing forward and upward, you are going downward and backward. Noth ing in this world is stationary either in matter or mind—character or morals.— What are you doing? ANOTHER WHEELBARROW BET.-.q Buchanan Girl Lost a Barrel of Shavings. —Some time ago a girl who lives in one of the best and richest families in this city made a wager of a barrel of shavings with a man that James Buchanan would carry New Hampshire. Last evening, without giving him previous intimation, she wheel ed with her own hands on a wheelbarrow the barrel of shavings to his door, about an eighth of a mile. If the public had known of the event, doubtless the Amoskeag Vet erans, the city Guards, and the whole Fire Department, "without distinction of party," would have turned out to receive the girl with a barrel of shavings, a la State street, when Poore came with his apples. Noble girl ! If Ben Perley Poore should be Governor of Massachusetts be cause of his pluck in paying his bet, this girl ought to be the wife of James Buchan an, and live in the White House.—Man chaster (New Hampshire) Mirror. DEWY GRASS DANGEROUS TO SHEEP.-It IS stated that nearly sixty thousand horses died last year on the Cape of Good Hope trom some disease which could not be accounted for; that many sheep were, also, lost from an unusual disease; and that it is now thought that this calamity was occaasioned by allowing the animals to eat grass with the dew on it.— The Boston Post says that it has been a precept from time immemorial with careful shepherds not to let the sheep turn out upon the dewy grass, or graze in damp or marshy regions, and quotes from Siebold's Treatise on "En tozoa" in explanation of tho same: "Many of the creatures pass the early por tion of their predatory existences in the bodies of one species of animal, and their maturity in another. The eggs are deposited in these latter domiciles, but not developed there; they have to be expelled, and the dear little inno cents, either as eggs or embryos, are cast upon the wide world to shift for themselves. But how? There they lie on the smoking dung heap; and far away roam the sheep in whose lungs and liver they alone can develop them selves and find food; what chance have they? This chance—the rain washes them into the earth, or' the farmer flings them in manure upon the soil. The humidity serves to develop them; they fix themselves against the moist grass; the sheep nibble the grass, and with it carry these tiny Entozoa into their stomachs; once there the business is soon accomplished. Thus it is that dewy grass is dangerous. Thus it is that damp seasons are so prejudicial to sheep, multiplying the diseases of lungs and liver to which these animals are subject; whereas in the dry hot seasons such diseases are rare, because the Entozoa have been dissi pated." OUTSIDE GLITTER AND INSIDE GLOOM. Many homes. are elegantly furnished, with small addition to domestic comfort. In this fast age the Mrs. Potiphars often live in palatial residences, oirerlaid with gorgeous decorations for the eyes of fash ionable vistors, while the home-loving Mr. Potiphar sighs for the humble old homestead. The Marysville Tribune. gives an amusing sketch of the inner life of one of these comfortless households : "I declare, Mr. Smith, this is too bad. Here you are stretched out on the sofa, mussing it up, and my nice carpet is all spoiled by the tramp of your coarse boots. I shall be ashamed to bring any one into the parlor again—and I have taken so much pains to keep every' thing nice. I do think, Mr. Smith, you are the most thoughtless man I ever did see—you don't appear to care how much trouble you give. If I had no more care than you have, we would soon have a nice looking house—it would not be long till our new house and furniture would be just as bad as the old," said John Smith's wife to him,'as she saw him in the parlor taking a nap on the., sofa. Mr. Smith rose up early and answered —"I was tired and sleepy, Mary, and the weather so hot, and this room so quiet and cool, and the sofa looked inviting, that 1 could not resist the temptation to snoose a little. I thought when we were building a new house and furnishing it thus, that we were doing it L4catise the old house and furniture were not so com fortable and desirable, and that I and my own dear Mary, would indulge ourselves in a little quiet leisure in these new rooms, and if we chose, in lounging on the sofas and rocking in those cushioned arm-chairs, away from the noise of the family, and the smell of the cooking stove. "I did not dream of displeasing you Mary, and I thought it would give you pleasure to see me enjoying a nap on the sofa, this warm afternoon. I noticed when Merchant Swell or Colonel Bigman, and their families are here, you appear to be delighted to have sofas and arm chairs for them to sit in or lounge upon. I thought the house and sofas were to use —that we were seeking our own pleasure when we paid a large sum of money for them; but I suppose I was mistaken, and that the house and furniture are for strangers, and that we are to sit in the old kitchen, and if I want to take a nap, or rest a little when fatigued, I am to lie down on a slab in the wood house; and if you want to rest, you Can go to the children's trundle bed, in a little close bed room, where the flies can have a chance at you." The irony of Mr. Smith's reply only provoked his wife, and seeing himself threatened with a repetition of Mrs. Smith's speech, with unpleasant additions and variation, and knowing that he would get tired of gaining victories over her in ar gument, before she would think of getting tired of defeat, he took himself out, and left Mrs. Smith to fix up and dust out, and lock him out of his own house, and took a seat on an old chair in the kitchen which Mrs. Smith said was good enough to use every day—in the kitchen where no one sees it. Poor mistaken Mrs Smith, thought I.— And yet many are like her. They want a fine house, and when they get it they want an out house built to live in, and then confine their families to a few small rooms, poorly furnished ; the main room seen by the family, only when visitors come! House and furniture are top grand for use. The carpet is too fine for the husband to walk on—mirrors are too fine for him to look into—the furniture is all too fine for him to see or use. Just so it goes—we dress, we women I mean, and I am sorry that many men are as foolish as we are, to please others, or rather to ex cite their remarks—we build houses, and furnish them for those outside of the faini ly, and live as poorly in the new house as in the old. It is a fatal day to enjoyment when a family gets a house and furniture too fine for use ; and yet many have an ambition to have it so. Better would it be if they were contented with such a house and such fur niture as is suited to every day use—the house large enough to accommodate one's friends, and the furniture such as all use when at home.
