" THE KANSAS PACIFIC." The Rocky Mountains and San Francisco. " The conches" on this rond are vastly more comfortable than " the street ears of Damascus)" as Mark Twain found them. In fact, we may glide over the sens of prairie with scarce a Jolt; we may settle down In a velvet cushion, hang our head out of the window and gaze at the most beautiful landscape Im aginable, and, without hyperbole, ex claim, nil the world's a form! all the world's a flower garden ! Traveling and and sight-seeing are plensnnt on a rond like this. The chance Is that after a trip over the Kansas raeifle Rond, you will want to spend your evenings In the city library reading up on natural his tory and determine to acquaint yourself with botany, so that you may more fully gratify your love for the beautiful when you again snuff the odors of those floral beauties rare. On this journey you pass over lands once known only to the red men, the buffalo and the prairie dog so says tra dition. ?fow, poor " Lo," ljke his com panions buffalo and prairie dog have vacated before the match of "the pale face" and civilization. And that fig ment of the imagination, " the Great American Desert," where is it ? We've been looking for it; have had our - geography on our knee and carefully noted and compared it with our latest maps by anthority of U. 8. Survey, but that desert, " like the baseless fabric of a visiou," doth not appear 1 The parel lels of latitude and longitude run through and bound luxuriant crops of corn, rye, barley, oats and wheat, and totally put to flight even the idea of a desert. May earth's remotest bounds echo with fier cest anathemas on the miscreant who promulgated " the Great American Des ert." And let every scribbler view the prospect o'er beautiful fields are waving bountiful products greet you, and fair cities, where the busy hum of the work men and throngs going to and fro, tell of life and activity. We cannot wonder at this, for there is great agricultural wealth surrounding these towns, and plenteous reward for labor. Cowper says of labor : "'TIs the primal curse, Bui softened into marcy. made trie pledge UI cheerful days and nights without a groan." The opinion too commonly entertain ed, that the cultivation of the ground . meets with scanty remuneration only, compared with other occupations, is altogether erroneous. It is true that agriculturists, for labor, do not receive as high wages as are sometimes paid to first-rate artizans, and particularly con fidential clerks and accountants in large mercantile houses, banks and insurance office. But then, it should be remember ed, that while here and there a person receives a large salary for personal services, several hundred receive barely sufficient to meet their personal ex penses. We will not institute any com parison as to what each class feels necessitated to expend for living and comfort. Owing to the usages of society the ordinary laboring farmer, however, has been known to lay up more money though receiving but two hundred dollars a year than a clerk in a city re ceiving six hundred. We may not change these usages, however we may oppose them. Each class has its hard ships. Clerks and merchants are often bankrupt, and oh how such changes test the moral courage of these 1 how they destroy the physical energies and mar the social affections I We are too well acquainted with such scenes. Let young men in rural life, inclined to be dissatisfied with their condition, think of all this before they resolve to change their occupation. The Kansas Pacific Railway is the Grand Trunk Road from Kansas City, on the Missouri river, to the city of Denver, at the base of the great Rocky Mountains. It is 114 miles the shortest between the two cities mentioned ; the best line to the San Juan country ; the favorite route of the tourist, and is also the connecting link of the most pleasant all rail route to San Francisco. It has opened up one of the most beautiful and fertile districts on this continent, the development of which, by the sturdy agriculturists, is unprecedented. The Kansas Pacific Homestead is a very interesting paper, giving statistics and other valuable information about this country, and can be obtained free by addressing S. J.
