FROM THE ST. ANTHONY EXPRESS.
Our readers will find better and truthful poe.
description of Minnesota in the subjoined epistle from
ur correspondent than we have before SEEN
To T. W. B., ESQ, PHILADElPHA.
DEAR SIR:
You asked when I.sbould reach my home,
In western wilds, where savage heather" roam, &
And winter reigns for more than half the year, n
To write the "uncos" that see and hear
Without the perils which your fancy painted,
! step'd on shore where famous Paul sainted.
With prosperous sail, and friends decent quota,
/ reached my destined home in Minnesota.
And now in candid rhyme III tell my story,
And " set you right" about the Territory.
IT'S large enough itself to make o nation,
And just the very Eden of creation
The soil is rich, and cereal products grow,
If men viii plough, and fence, and plant, and hoe
All these rank-producing many fold;
With heathful fruits to nourish young and old
Wild rice grows here unaded by the laws
And various berries gathered by the squaws;
Tomatoes, turnips, cabbage, beans, and peas.
And vines and melons, roots and herbs and heas;
You cannot find, search all the world around,
Such fine moschetoes--" many weigh pound"
The epicure will find himself web fed
And Dr. Graham sawdust for his bread; t4
The vegetarian lots Of choicest weeds,
And birds and fowls good supply OF seeds
We've milk and eggs, and fish for holy lent
And industry finds health and sweet content.
The unduatipg surface strikes the eye
AS just enough to give variety.
Some trees are scattered where the woods seen,
And grass in summer is perfect green
Pure streams gush frequent from the generous ground
And pleasant scenery stretches oil around.
The numerous lakes are clear as could wish,
And "live and kicking" with abundant fish,
THE whale Of Jonah was minnow mere,
Compared with some they talk Of taking here. /.
And though in richness they are hard to match,
Like modest damsels they are hard to catch
The summer solstice brings its proper charm,
Though nnety-eight Adore is rather warm.
And in the winter we have frequent snow,
And rather cool at forty-two bso,o.
Though game is driven toward the setting sun,
The elk still runs where it has always run.
In temperance, health, and social habits here,
We have no equal ON this mundane sphere
And as TO righteousness, we boast 0 state
But just one door from the celestial gate.
No one may make sell glass Of rum,
Or any thing that a. makes the fuddle come"
SO bring along the critter" and the jug,
For here you cannot get single mug
And yet St. Croix and Rum in torrents flow,
Enough TO lqusr all the men below
Physicians here we have, and good ones too,
But doctors here have little work to do.
No one is sick beneath our northern sky,
And our Assembly makes it death to die
Our lawyers, too, are but sorry crew,
For men don't quarrel as they do with you
The law Of love--the love Of ease and pelf
Makes each supremely care for precious self n
