BEYOND TIE RIVER.
BY LEILA.

The moonlight beyond The river, shining on the
old deserted house among the trees, whose long
dark shadow looks strange and weird, like some
dark giant stretching forth its arms to reclaim

stead rears its decsyed head among the old forest
trees the work Of man lbs crumbled away. and
nature has obtained her qkn.
Again shines the moonlight beyond the river.
The beautifully kept garq4s and neatly trimmed
lawn bespeak the abode of luxury, refinement
and wealth the family seated on the gallery,
looking out over the rushing water of the river,
which looks like gold under the rays of the bright
moon; all is quiet reposg.
Now the moonlight sfyond the river shines
upon fierce soldiery, anditpon house 10 flames :;

The moon still shines beyond the river. The

MINNEAPOLIS, JUNE 10, 1868.
Editors InteIligeneer:
Minnesota has long been, and been
called, an Asylum for Invalids."
Men and women, afflicted with almost
every disease that human flesh is heir
to, come bither in search of that great
of all blessings, health; and the great
majority do not come In vain, AlRrge
proportion OF the now vigorous busi-
ness population came here at the out
set to repaira shattered physical con-
stitution. It has come, however, to be
understood that, while it is decidedly
favorable 20 the rest ration of those in
the earlier stages of consumption, it
often seems to hasten deathin the later
stages. The Stimulation seems to be
greater than the weakened constitution
can boar and speedily overmasters it.
This healthfnlness appears to be
owing to the peculiar dTfleSS of the
climate, The showers of the Atlantic
coast and of the Gnlf are expended be-
fore they reach this point; while the
immense clouds of Oregon and the Pa
citic coast are exhausted by the Rocky
Mountains. AS q consequence it sell
dom rains at all during the winter
months-how unlike Virginia Trains
moderately in the spring, and but little
during the summer and autumn. OF
all the points at which the United States
have taken observations for the last
forty years, Fort, Smelling, six miles
from here, has the least annual average
fall of water. a peculiar clearness and
density of the atmosphere also aids this
healthfulness. So clear and braeing an
atmosphere is seldom found.
But after all, the heaIthfnlness of
Minnesota is quite largely owing to
change of scenery and habits, the latter
particularly. The professional or
business man has driven his daily
routine until nature rebels and will
bear the strain no longer. BE goes to
Minnesota for health. By necessity, he
leaves his clients, or patients, or pulpit
or ledger behind. He ceases straining
body and mind in the scramble for
wealth or distinction, and gives him
self mp to relaxation. It proves the
most efficient of all medical altera-
tiYes, and speedily he receives benefit.
Anywhere and how else, that would
secure the same contrast of scene and
habits, would answer the same bened-
cent purpose. 80 sI.zl5s5
