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.

LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 2, 1856.
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

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.
