TRLIE , ...PAITHFUL LOVE. •
Br YINLIST JOIINSON'
There lived in..the East a gentle maid,
And,in soul she was like-the lark;
Tor she smiled with jpy in life's'sunny hour,
And' wept when the sky grew dark; .
And-all -things-around-beneath-rand - ab - ovo; --
Proclaimed her being for mortals to- love;
There came one day to her bumble cot,
•
•A youth who was-rich in gold,; • :
And he proudly ask'd'in — a sColfitig•tone, •
If her love to him could tie sold ; •
" I have wealth which will buy both pomp and
pride,
And houses, and lands, and jewels beside."
The father wept at the strangers words, ' 4 .
4.nd, his voice grew stern and mad ; .
As - lic - cried`"my danglitet - ceinms - th,TOW --
And the old man spuds thy wild ; . .
For not indeed all the riches of earth,
Can purchase her love,.her virtue and worth."
.
ThO stranger loft With a haughty mien,
And a wanderipg beggar came ;
He could nol.boast of his jewels rare,
But he could of an honest naive;
He possessed no gold like the wealthy youth,
But was rich iu virtue, honof, , stud truth.
The old man gazed oh his noble face,
Aud he saw him 'WOO!) and pine r •
'And 16 said, " my firother,.l.think that thou
Wonld'st ask for this girlof mine ;
If so—though she is the world tome,
Freely indeed I yield her to thee."
Then the.stranger,ppoke to sorrowing tones,
" I must from this - Eden depak ;
No wealth can I give for your jewel.rare t ...
I have naught but an honest heart ;" •
And his eyes tilled with the falling tears, • •
Which, sprung at the thought of his many fears
The old man wntoh'd hia blue eye — sittic
And said, as he'seizect hisitand:...._ •
" I would • not barter my daughter's heart
For the wealth of famed Ophir's land'; -
But to honor and truthT yield - it free,
And freely I give its treasures `to thee.'!_
0, mould tliis world had ne'a ' r a mart,

THOUGHTS ON EMIGRATION.

" Keep not 'Minding fixed ghol 'looted,
Brlsitlyvanture, briskly room. .
Head and hand nliere'er you foot It,
Andnlout heart are still at home."
GOXTllei WILZIFLI4 MEISTER
(Continued from last week.),
The climate of Minnesota is undoubtedly
healthy; a'great portion of her virgin ion itt e
fertile, and will, for a time at least, be pro
ductive in the hardier kinds of summer grain
such as oats ; but any one by 'looking at the
map will inatantly.see that.she can never be a
groat agricultural or stook raising State, two
items on which toe greater extent than on any
other depend the wealth and prosperity of
(wiry codutry,, for on them all businesses and
professions are founded as on a corner stone.
There may be modifying circumstances, but:l
latitude is'the muster law of temperature, and
nlweye•mekee itself felt. I believe-no-one tie-
nies that its winters are extremely cold, but
as a counterpoise to this it is asserted that
vegetation in the,spring shoots out with alai:"
"ing rapidity. This is very probable, as it is:a
usual occurrence in extreme northern' lati
tudes. In the northern parts of Sweden and
Norway, nature in a few days is transformed
from dreary scenes of snow and ice, into bloom
lag gardens and ripe grain fields. But the
change from summer , to winter again is scarce
ly lees sudden; From her situation between
the upper end of the great chain , octiorthern
lakes, and the rich valleys'of the, Mississippi
and. Missouri, she la likely to' derive much
benefit from the traffic passing through - her ;
and from the number of Yankees anioig•h - er
scttfers, and the shrewdness, actirfiy, and en
ergy of her entire papulatioh, at some, future
day she is very likoily to be the trans-allegha
ny manufaoturing , NeW England of the Union
In passing, let us glanie at tbo tionseitien
_teklikely-to-follow-the-prerent---finanolal—em
berrakements, as far as iegards the crest. In
my opinion thoy.will be of -muoh benefit to
those parts of it which present real advanta
ges to, the' emigrant. These troubles will
break up most ortbose land speculators who
have been 'dealing in borrowed ospital, and
the immonee tracts which they now hold be
ing thus bought under the auctioueer'a ham
mer, will be sold for , a mere Bong. Many
eastern men of means, will also ho forced by
the pressure to dispose of tfleir wild' laede on
reasonable terms. Neat spring and summer
will he,the time for profitable invest:lmM.,
The value of good lands bought then, under
the above mentioned circumstances, will iu a
few years be trebled or quadrupled. Numer
ous families in the old 'States whose resourcee
have'been'orippied by the panto, will fly to'
the .west to 'bide' their poverty and improve
thefrdeolining fortunes. ' Each of these will
be foliciwed by ten more connected with it 'by
ties of;reletionehip, friendship; or acquaint-',
r anee. , Though border ruffians and much iir
the scum of 'eaciety have invaded Aeneas, the
character of the settlers, in 'general, is supe
iior tolhit of the'bool-troodemen who

But partially limited as is this wild game of
speculation, still it is a nuisance, and all emi-. -

course of being gr'ad'ed. Manufactories for
tho grosser and more necessary articles are
springing np in nIl quarters of the town.
Among others an extensivejeozip fuolory has
just been finished. The wharves and business

'which lo to be seen in the-Market streets and

Let us mak'e the contrait,' end thin, let the

just such innocent plays as the above; the relig
