THE NES0TIA N
WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 10, 1854.
The Weather--Health.

st. Paul has been called upon the past four
or five days to pass through fiery ordeal such
as was unknown in her history. The sun has
gotten above the horizon in the morning, gaz-
ing over upon us with that trembling brassy,
furnace.like look which those of us who have
looked upon him in the tropics were wont to
regard as the fore-runner of day Of intense
languor and extreme suffering. And all day
lOng.-and the days are long in this high latl-
tude now - have poor mortals and suffering
beasts been compelled to endure the scorching
presence OF the god of the armament, poured
down upon them with all the heated vigor which
he sways over his realms beneath the equator.
Some have consOled themselves with the fact
that we had a refreshing breeze" all the while.
Yes, such refreshment was there in that south
west blast as comes upon the breath of the sir
Occo Of Sahara, or the monsoon of India s ocean.
May we never again be tantalized with such re-
freshment, the thermometer at the time standing
at blood heat - 9S9 in the shade
Such weather, at this season of the year, is
bound to produce deleterious results upon
health. We scarcely met well person during
its continuance. Dcrangements of the digest
i've organs have prOstrated many of our citi-
zens, although We are happy to state the dis
ease has yielded readily to proper medical
treatment in nine cases out of ten. In fact we
have heard Of but one or two deaths among
adults. But the little children - the poor ten
der babes who are teething and passing their
first or second summer on earth--have suffered
and are suffering terribly. In passing through
the streets during the stiffness of night, one
may hear their screams of suffering from almost
every house tenanted by their heavenly pres
ence. Happy is the mother who can now press
to her fond heart babe free from the sickening
effects of the past weeks weather. Two pre-
cious infants were followed to their little graves
yesterday morning by sorrow-stricken parents
and sympathzing friends and more than one
mother starts at the premonition that her sad
turn may come next.
But thanks to the Dispenser of refreshing
showers, at the time we wrote yesterday alter
noon, the lightning was blazing in the heavens,
burning up the infectious matters generated by
the rapid decomposition of earthly substances,
and the cooling rain was falling in torrents.
The storm had lasted for over an hour, and pro-
missed continuance at the time our space for
babe further continuance Of these marks.
Thanks-thanks from ALL

"You must" was the queenly response.
The heavily laden burst into tears and seated
herself upon snow-bank.
"Up, quck!" cried the elfn, "I will ride

"You will not" said voice, sweet, yet calm
and firm. They had not heard her step, and
both of the children turned and looked. The
face was delicate, with large dark eyes, and
sweet, gentle mouth-a face not beautiful but
holy. In those lustrous clear, earnest eyes, lay
a wondrous charm. Had sic been dumb, they
would have expressed all she would have said.
Those eyes were upon the little dark face and

Fanny" said the girl, "you must not allow
yourself to be down-troddcn it is not necessa-
ry to be defiant either; but sustain your own
rights, decidedly and coolly. Now bid me
good night, and remember what have said"
This was my first meeting with Mary Low,
the sweetest of lowly blossoms. In the winter
often met her with her old father, steadying
his footsteps on the icy ground. She is the
daughter Of a gardener, almost entirely self
educated, with purity Of soul imbibcd from
the tender blossoms amid whose breathing
odors her soul had expanded.
At early sunrise l watch her as she gathers
the little chick "a biddies from the morning dew.
She plucks the ripened Strawberries, out-sing-
ing the lark, and now with o little basketful
(her own sbare) she trips by to the house Of
a lonely maiden lady and deposits the berries
at her door in leafy bowl, that the ancient
Miss Nancy may believe in fairy lore.
".Mercy Low" VIC call her. She should
have been under the old dispensation of names
christened Charity. Simple and unpretending
yet so rich in womanly graces-many a lover
would gladly win our treasure, but she lives
but for her father. Who could describe her SO
we'll rs one who worships her? Twill give his
words in place of my own:
Her hair is bright. her eyes still brighter,
With a dmpe in her chin,
All when she's knocking at hearts door
Can we help but let her in?
Her check is pink, her lip still deeper,
There's a mischief In her smile;
All ! when she's coming the meadow
Would you have cse mile?
Her am is white, her hand still fairer,
Resting quiet my arm;
Can help but press il cl,ser
To my hcart-iust for a charm?

SOUTHERN MINNESOTA. Il. A. Babcock, Esq.
returned yesterday on the Hamburg from a
professional tour to Chatfield. the county seat
of Fillmore county, where the District Court of
the First Judicial District has recently been
held by Chief Justice Welch. Mr.. B. states
that no conception can be formed of the amount
of immigration into that part of our Territory
except by person who has been actually on
the ground. People are there in small claim
houses. in tents, in wagons, &c.,-in many pla-
ces a dozen wagons will he found stationed
around some spring, filed with wo men and
children, while the men are looking out loca-
tions in the neighborhood. Mr.. Is. extended
his tour through the valleys of Root river and
Money Creek, which is considered to be as fine
a country as there is in the West, and saw large
fields of waving grain, cOrn potatoes, &c, fully
as good if not superior to anything to be found
in the world. At the rate which immigration
is advancing to this beautiful section of our
Territory, there is no doubt that the population
of Fillmore. Houston and Winona counties
will shortly compare favorably with the most
thickly settled counties of the Territory.

DECLINE IN " WHEAT.--l ndcr this head the ST
Louis lnteligcnccr has the following remarks
in regard to the prospect of prices after har-
vest:
From our market report in another column
1t Will be seen that the current rates for wheat
in this market is nearing the old standard. -
yesterday mixed lots of spring and poor fall
sold from 80 to 90c. Good winter red at 81
and prime to choice at Sl.O5 SI.lO. Ry ref
erence to our files we find that prime red wheat
was worth 81 in this market nearly the entire
month OF July last year. 1t is prcsumablc
therefore. that about that price can be safely
calculated upon for the same month this sea-
son. Our own opinion is that the market will
settle at about 81 for the best samples of red.
and that price may last until there is rush of
the article, which is most sure to take place i'm
the latter part of August and the first weeks of
september. Whether the price is then to 70
up or down will depend very much upon the
export demand for brcadstufs. Both buyer
ana seller look upon Soc to 81 per bushel as
apout fair average offering for the new crop
"heat' anu at these prices millcrs will buy lib
eraiy' Dut should higher rates be contended
ior the mahuiacturcrwill hesitate. and the mar
ket VIII be characterized by inactivity and un-
steadiness, unless something more than we arc
now aware OF should spring up abroad. Ofone
thing We feel pretty confident, that is, other
than American wants must assist in the con-
sumption. or else prices will rule low. There
is no earthly chance for the immense surpIns
except in foreign markets, and with but little
demand it would be impossible for wheat or
