Siy:lit Seeing in the Far West. The following is un origiiiiil essay by Miss lCinniii (iott, of ihu New Jioss

schools: One |ile:isant, morning in Spring three very prepossessing young men started on 1111 excursion ol sight seting in the far West. One was a yonng married man, the highly esteemed young professor of the New lloss Institute, the other was his assistant, Mr. I!rown,and the other was Mr. Kdditigfield, who was refreshing his memory on the different, sciences that were being taught at the professor's institute, and wished to take an excursion before going into business. All three were brave hearted and of buoyant spirits, well calculated to brave the many dancers of the wilds of the far West.

,-everal days in Salt Lake City, viewing around and taking notes. Mr. Brown made a sad mistake one day while promenading the streets. He met. with some one standing in front of a tobacco store door. Thinking it to be his cousin, who had gone there sometime before, he. grasped its hand in adoration of some one he knew but alas for human disappoint-| ment, he found it to be only a tobacco sign, an Indian figure. From thence they traveled to Oregon partly on trains and, for a change, on mules. They were in several bear fights, in which they fought bravely, ending the contests bv a treatv of flying heels. They penetrated to the

Pacific, where our kind professor with I great pleasure gazed far out on the almost endless scene of water. From then

returned to Oregon City, capital of Ore-1

gon, spending several .lays there. They

could scarcely determine whether to go

The power of money is on llie whole over estimated. The greatest tilings which have been done for the world have not been accomplished by rich men, or by subscription lists, but by men generally of small means. The greatest thinkers, discoverers, inventors, and artists, have been men of moderate wealth many of tliem little raised above the condition of manual laborers, in point of worldly circumstances. It will always be so. Riches are oftencrau impediment than a stimulus to action, and in many cases they are qui to as nine!) a misfortune as a blessing. The youth who inherits wealth is apt to have lile made too easy for him. and he soon grows sated with it, because he lias nothing lelt to desire, llaving no special object to .strnirele for, he (inds time heavy on bis hands remains morally and mentally asleep and his position in society isoften no higher than that of a polypus over which thc tide j.floats
