MINNESOTA IN VERsE.-O,r ST. Anthony ,oet
sketches another portrait Of our Territory. for the
EafqeSs' from which we take the following lines:
Our Indians still their rustic liz. cn;,v
And very seldom do the whites annoy.
!,ut though IN most respects they do their duty
we often see them in their naked beauty
i,hey m'ngie little with external blood.
Their log canoes modelled ere the Good
nhe wise is happy in his mental store.
L ne 1901 Is happy that he knows no more
And so with them; they take time rs !, f;o<
And only think 1t /" folly to be- wiso.o
ihey praise themselves because their Ef, s e,,cb
ma pity us because want so much
90 nzs all to I'll the ground they tread,
And too lmprovldent to look ahead
cncss they take a settled habitation.
ana Use the laws and customs Of our nation
Lneir race Will vanish, and their hunt;nr ,rnunJ
With loom and hammer and the mill resound
Snch is the power of cultivated mind:
VI gene raj knowledge and of truth combined
ny means like these the world will bc r.Joen,od
Ana team win beauty as of old it terrned:
ierce elements tie chained aud trained =, sc;.nc.
Ana savage beasts subdued t, the alliance.
chtutored men be formed for social life.
ana general peace succeed to general stri6,.
Waste fields and forests, swarnps and desert land
WIN harvests wave to ill the reapcr's hand.
The creatures self released from impe, f.c,,n'
And shine in glory for divine inspection,
In TINS good work Of truth and moral beauty
Uur MiNNEsoTA will discharge her duty.
Whcn IN the progress Of our growing mario,
hundred stars shall grace the constelat;o,
Ih's infant state in general virtue founded.
With giory's halo bright will be surrounded.

our wondroas progress and our happy lot,
And OF repeating DER the pleasing story,
H'a uash they'd settled m the Territory.
