A Great Secret.
BY ALICE CARY.

BY ALICE CARY.
My friend, here's q secret
BY which you may thrive:
am fifty years old.
And my wife forty five
A queen among beauties,
The wedding guest said,
When we went to the church
With the priest, and were wed.
That's thirty long years past;
And can avow.
She was no more n beauty
To me then, than now.
For never the scath ola
Petulant Frown
Has ploughed with its furrows
Her young roses down.
And still, like girl when
Her praises speak,
Her heart fairly bushes
Itself through her cheek.
Her smile is m ore tender
For being less bright;
And the little bit powder
That makes her hair white,
And all the soft patience
That shines through her face,
In my eyes are only
Like grace upon grace.
For still we are lovers.
AS l am alive.
Though I, sir, am fifty,
And she forty-nve:
And here's half the secret
Imeant to unfold,
She don't know, my friend,
Not the least, how to scold!
Nor does she get pettish
And sulk to pout:
So. since we fell in love,
We never fell out!
And here's the full secret
That saves us from strife:
! kept her a sweetheart,
In making her wife!
And II you but wed on
My pattern. you'll thrive,
For l, sir, am fifty,
My wife, forty-five!

years ago Southern Minuesots was re.

reau region in which nothing would
grow. Then the population Of the
State was 5000 now it exceeds half .
million. The Red River country i
even DOW looked upon by some people
as cold, dreary, inhospitable region
ur6tted for the residence Of civilized
man. There could be no greater mis-.
take. The climate Of the Red River
valley is not materially different from
that of St. Paul, and both are under
nearly the same isothermal line.
Whatever will grow at St. Paul viii
grow at Pembius, aud the principal
difference in tho two sections Of ooun-
try is tho vastly richer quality Of the
soil in the Red River valley. In
1880, the population Of Miunesots oss
hardly fall short of 100000. There
is no healthier climate on the CONT.
