LETTER FROM HON. N. II. TYLER.

Editors of 81. AlbGS Messenger:
Having heard much about Minnesota,
as to the richness of its SOIL and its rap
id increase in wealth and population, |
visited that State during the past fall and
endeavored, as far as. possible, to ascertain
the facts in regard to its present condition
and the probabilities of its future growth /;
and send you some condensed statements
gathered from observation and statistics,
which if you think proper you can insert
in your paper. and it may perhaps be OF
advantage to those Of your readers desir-
ing to remove to the Vest.
AREA, TIMBER, SOIL.
Minnesota has an area of 81 coo square
miles, 54, $50, 600 acres larger than the
six N. E. States. About one-third Of the
State is timbered. In the north part are
vast pineries, embracing about q ,OOO
square miles. In other parts Of the State
there is oak, maple, ash, birch, cotton
wool and some spruce. The rest Of the
snd is rolling prairie and natural mead
ow. Aside from the pineries, the timber
is interspersed with the prairie so as to
furnish abundance of fuel to supply the
farms in most sections Of the State. From
the official report of the State GcologiSt,
| find the soil is from one to two feet deep
on the slopes and ridges and from two
to four in the valley bottoms, and he de-
scribes il as casually Of excellent quality,
rich as well in organic matter, as in those
mineral salts which give rapidity to the
growth of plants and that drabiIity which
enables it to sustain long succession OF
crops"
LAKES, RIVERS AND P 'PULATIoN.
Minnesota has about 1000 lakes, and
large number of rivers, which make It
one of the best watcred States in the Un-
inn There arc very many other resource
es for wealth and develop 'ent which 1t is
;oorossible here to estimate. Minnesota
was admitted as State in 1858, with a
,,pulatlon of $4,000. January lst, 10,
;ts population was 100000, and now it is
estimated at 100000 The average an
nuol increase of population in Minnesota
is nine per cent and its increase in wealth
has been proportioually much larger than
this.
The climate is healthy and invigorat
iuc, being much less changeable, and thu

DoMEsTlcUsEs OF B0RAx.--Borax is
the best cockroach exterminator yet dis
covered. This troublesome insect has a
peculiar aversion to it, and will never re-
turn where it has once been scattered.
As the salt is perfectly harmless to human
beings, it is much TO be preferred for this
purpose to the poisonous substances COM
monty used.
Borax is also valuable for laundry use,
instead of soda. Add handful of it
powdered to about ten gallons of boiling
water, and gu need use only half the Or
binary allowance Of soap. For cambrics,
laces, &C., use an extra quantity of the
powder. It viii not injure the texture of
the cloth in the least.
For cleansing the hair, nothing is bet
ter than q solution Of borax-water. Wash
afterwards with pure water, if it leaves
the hair too stiff. Borax dissolved in wa
ter is also an excellent dentifrice, or tooth
wash.-Journal Of Chenastry.

THE SISTERS.
BY JOHN g. WHITTIER.

Annie and Rhoda, sisters twain,
woke one night to the sound of rain,
The rush of wind, the ramp and roar
vi great waves climbing rocky shore.
Annie rose up in her bed-gown white,
And looked out into the storm and night.
"Hush, and hearken - she cried in fear,
"Hearest thou nothing, sister dear?"
| hear the sea, and the phsh of rain,
And roar Of the northeast hurricane.
''Get thee back to he bed 50 warn,
No good comes of watching storm.
"What is it to thee, | fun would know,
That waves are roaring and wild winds blow?
"No lover of thine's afloat to miss
The harbor-lights on a night like this ~
"But heard n voice cry out my name,
Up from the sea on the wind it came
"Twice and thrice have heard it call,
And the voice is the voice of Estwick Hall
On her pillow the sister tossed her head
'Hall of the Heron is slfc,' she said.
''ln the tautcst schooner that ever swan
He rides at anchor in Anisquam.
"And, if in peril from swamping sea
Or lee shore rocks, would he call on thee2''
But the girl heard only the wind and tide,
And wringing her small, while hands, she cried
80 sister Rhoda, there's something wrong;
l hear it again, so loud and long.
"'Annie Annie! her it call,
And the voice is the voice of Estwick HallI'
Up sprang the elder, with ewes ahame.
"Thou liest! He never would call thy name!
If he did, would pray the wind and sea
10 keep him forever from thee and me!''
Then out of the sea blew dreadful blast;
Like the cry of n dying man it passed.
The young girl hushed on her lips groan,
But through her tears "A strange light shone-
The solemn joy Of her hearts release
70 own and cherish its love in peace.
'Dearcst!" she whispered, under breath,
" Life was lie but true is DEATH
"The love hid from myself away
Shall crow me now in the light of day.
"My ears shall never to wooer list
Never by lover my lips be kissed
"sacred to thee am henceforth,
Thou in heaven and on carth''
She came and stood by her sisters bed:
"Hal Of the Heron is deadn' she said
"The wind and tin waves their work have dom
We shall see him no more beneath the sum-
"Little will reck that heart of thine,
It loved him not with love like mine,
s'I for his sake, were he but here,
Could hem and 'broider thy bridal gear,
"Though hands should trcmble and eyes be we
And stitch for stitch in my heart be set
& But now my soul with his soul wed;
Thine the living, and mine the dead"'

GUEST OR PRIsoNER.-There is said to
have been curious incident of the French
re-occupation of Orleans. A Bavaran
captain, quartered upon one of the inhab-
itants, had had long and fatguing day
cf duty, and upon going TO bed he ordered
his soldier servant not to awake him upon
any rretence whatever. The next morn
ing early the soldier heard the drums of
the retiring regiments, but, obedient to
order, he remained impassiva, and allowed
his master to sleep on. Presently the
French bugles were heard, and the owner
Of the house went into the officers room
and sloCk HIM.
Captain" he said, yesterday you
we're my guest, but this morning the
French have re-captured the town, and
you arc my prisoner"
"Eh, rcally?" asked the Bavarian,
yawuing so that the bed creaked.
"Yes, really, captain! !"
"And there is no hope of resistance !"
"None whatever"
''Fritz," the officer said TO his servant,
who stood by looking on impasieely,
"give our swords to Monsieur; we are
prisoners"
So saying, the captain turned around
in his bed, to fnih his interrupted slum-
bers.

A WISE MoTnER.-When was a girl,
my mother taught me every variety Of do
nestle work, leading me on from simple
to difficult processes in this manner -
d" My daughter, she would say, 'now if
you will make this skirt very nicely, you
shall make next a shirt for your father,
and lie shall know that every stitch was
set by your fingers" How eager | was
to learn the mysteries Of shirt-making,
and how patiently my mother taught me
to set the stitches IN tn; bosom, to baste
the gusscts, to stroke the gathers How
many holes worked oD odd scraps
ofmuslin before she could quite trust me to
make those in the bosom and wristbands
But that shirt was my apprenticeship to
the needle, and since then dress-makihg,
millencry, tailoring even, has had no ter
rors in my imagination, for if 1 could
make shirt well, | could learn to make
anything In the same way, she stimu-
lated my industry and ambition in culina-
ry matters. "When you have learned to
wash anc wipe the dishes very nicely"
she would say; 81 will let you make
some hiScuit " Then I was permitted to
rise a step higher, to the dignity OF bread
making, the concoction of cakes and pies.
| really thought in those days that | loved
to do housework, to cook and sweep and
iron, but since then | have found out that
it was my mothers admirable manage
ment that made pastime of drudgery.-
