As the cheapest and safest means of
preserving the material for the future com
position of the history Of Minnesota, the
Governor recommends that the Legislature
authorize and direct the Territorial secre-
tary or Librarian to subscribe for and pre-
serve, in durable form, copy Of each
and every newspaper that may be pub
lished in the Territory. This is an exam
pie which many of the States in the Union
might, with profit and credit, initiate.
The conclusion of the message is as fol-
lows:
"ln coming among you to assume the position I
hold trust to be believed when say, that brought
with only the sincere determination TO do right,
to DO justice 70 live in harmony with all, and to
whatever power incidentally possess, entirely for
the true and abiding veal Of Minnesota. And may
that God who rules the destiny Of nations prosper
your doings and mine that no reproacbes will meet
in the present, no regrets be experienced by us
in the future; but that we will all bear with us the
conviction, that each performed his whole duty for
the dssemina ton Of elderly and law, religion and
education" throughout our Territory, for the peo-
Plies true happiness and the enduring glory Of the
American name.

THE FROST SPIRIT.
BY }. q. WHITTIER.


He comss-he comes-the Frost Spirit comes You may
trace his footsteps now, -
On the naked woods the blasted fields and the brown hs
whered brow;
He has mitten the leaves Of the gay old their
pleasant green come forth,
And the winds which follow wherever he goes have shaken
them down to the earth.
He comes-he comes-the Frost Spirit comesi-from the
frozen Labrador
From the icy bridge Of the Northern seas which the white
bear wanders Ger
Where the fisherman sail is stiff with ice and the luckess
forms below,
In the suness cold OF the atmosphere into marble statues
grow!
He comeshe comesthe Frost Spirit comcs-on the rush
inc Northern blast,
And the dark Norwegian pines have how'd as his fearful
breath went past
With unscochd wing he has hurried On where the hcs
of Hecla grow
On the darky beautiful sky above and the ancient ice below
He comes-he comes-the Frost Spirit and the
quiet lake shall feel
The torpid touch of his glazing BREATH and the ring 10 the
skaters heel
which danced the broken rocks sang
to the leaning grass
Shall bow again 10 their winter chun and in mounfu 81
lence pass.
He comes-he comes-the Frost Spirit comes ler smcet
him wemay,
And turn with light the paror fire his evil power
And gather closer the circle round when the fire light dances
high
And laugh the shrek balcd Fend his sounding
wing goes by

THE SPIRIT OF POESY.

Come u the woods, IN whose ,lrll1
A light all made for the poet dweils''
Where dwelleih the spirit Of poesyi Where
Oh where can its home he found
And where is the harp il has trillcd so Oft
Whence cometh the low sweet sound?
You may find its home where the ivy crccps
Alone DER yon ruined wall,
And the gathering moss of an hundred years
Is green in its lowly hall;
Where the night-wnds breathe but moumful dirge,
As they sweep round the turrets gray
And the tall grass droops DER desolae hearth,
But TO cover the worm, decay.
Ye may find is home in the wild wood DELL
Where blossoms the tnest flower
But to droop and die, meath drop of dew,
Al moonligh,s hallowed hour.
II dwelleth therein the azure sky
While the starry host above
Are ever keeping DER land and sea,
Their vigils Of faith and love.
We may hear the tones Of her magic harp
In the sound Of the rushing blast
Or when, with gentle yet saddened sigh,
The wind sweeps mournfully past.
We may hear ii of in the streamIers song
As IL dances along in glee,
Till its merricst lay is forever hushed
By the sound Of the moaning sea-
The spirit of poesy is erery,chere-
Fen down in the darksome cave,
Where glstens the tear of an amber hue,
In the bed O fthe " ocean waye"-
While its harp of Thousand matchless strings
Ia swept by an unseen hand
hand that will wake with a softer touch
Sweet lays in the Better Land"

TO MY COUSIN SALLIE.

From the Family Messenger and Cleaner.
TO MY COUSIN SALLIE.
By MARTHA G. CLINTON.
Dear cousin do not say that mine
Are words of fiattery:
The poets license I'll not use,
So let NE sing of thee.
IN speak not of thy beauty now,
Though thou art passing fair;
II is Of thy bright spirits grace
For that mostly care.
Like some wild flower thou dost blosm,
Shrinking from idle gaze;
Passing within thine own dear home,
Thy happy, quiet days.
Thy heart of mirth and tenderness
Is like spring of love;
Thou seemest wheresoeer thou mov'st,
A sunbeam from above.
Gentle and kind thou always art.
In mood of thought or JOY;
never in my life knew one,
With less Of earth's alloy.
Thy charms are those that brightest seem.
Around the fresde;
And far more lovely are they there,
Than Beauty in her pride.
And when with marring power comes
To thee the hand of time,
And maketh with thy golden hair,
Some silver threads to twine;
Or, if upon thy cheek and brow,
We less of beauty trace,
Wen heed il not, ii gentle worth
Still lights thy placid face.
The mind alone secures us love,
Insensble 10 change;
And those who love US but for this,
Will never wish TO range.

LADIES AT A TEMPERANCE DINNER
Nv o. W. HOLMES

o. W.
A health to dear woman! she bids US mtwine
From the cup II cncirces, the fast-clnging vine;
But her checks in its crystal with pleasure will glow
And mirror its bloom in the bright wave below.
health to sweet woman the days are no more
Whens he watched for her lord ill the revel oer
And smoothed the white pillow and bushed when he came,
As she pressed her cold lips on his forehead of fame
Alas for the loved ono! too spotess and fair
The Joys Of his banquet TO chasten and share;
Her eye lost it's light that his goblet might shine,
And the ros. of her cheek dissolved in his wine
Joy smiles in the fountain, health flows in the ris
As their ribbons Of silver unwind from the hills;
They breathe not the mist of the bacchanafs DREAM
But the lilies of innocence float on their stream.
Then a health and welcome woman once more
She brings passport that laughs at our door;
II is written n crimson--is letters pearls
II is conntersigned Nafure-so room for the Girls.
