10 love and he beloved a9ain-to ieel,
That one heart beats responsive to our own;
To cherish Joys that words can ne 'er reveal
Gentle and lovely as the dying tone
OF far off music; to go strongly forth
On life rough Journey grt with woman's love
And woman's truth, jewels of priceless worth,
That sorrows dim not, trials can but prove;
To stand with her beside the shrines where lie
Our household gods-to feel her true hand pres
Our own in silence, while within her eye
Glslens the tear Of holy tenderness;
To listen to voice whose every tone
Tells us, that we on earth are not alone;
To see the worm feed on the pallid cheek,
Where shines the star presaglng swift decay;
To tremble with a fear we may not speak;
To bid adieu to hopes declining ray;
To know that she we love and prize must die,
Even in the opening of her spirits dream
That the deep love that flashes from her eve,
Is doubly bright with res last hectic CLEAN;
To stand beside that loved-one's grave and feel
Lies utter loneliness to silent shed
Tears, bitter tears, per memory's waste--to knee
Beside the dwelling of our cherished dead
Sending the bruised spirit forth to trace,
Beyond the sky, her peaceful resting place:
To stand upon life's desert and to know
The love lit radiance of woman's eve
Is not for us; to watch the fowrct blow,
That on ano'hers breast must blnshng lie;
10 cast ailec on on one shrine and feel
There 40 divinity 10 feed the flame;
To feel the brain thrOb and the senses reel,
When e'er we hear the loved and cherish d name
Or one whose heart can give no echo back
Unto the voice ofour own burning prayer;
Where crush'd 10 earth hope perishes in gloom,
And memory weeps in pleasures living tomb:

These are the lights and shadows of mans life,
The iretwork woven by the hand of fate
With the miN'd webb of his exis,cnce--rile
With grief or gadncss; yet around him wait
thousand nnlstrantS, to dry the tears
Or deepest sorrow or GstraRge the mind
From loves first thraldom, breathing in his ears
Spells more enchanting than he leaves behind,
\ thousand streams gush forth to sweep away
The dim memorials of joy and grief
beneath whose waves, unseen, unnolted, lay
Ai!ection's gorlands, wilhercd-nower and leaf
While other gods Ambition, Wealth. or Fame,
From his changed heart aeelng homage claim
But love, frs, love, wonan's life-to her
No second flame its deep oblivion brings,
AZ one long shrine a trembling worshipper;
fearful, yet trusting her young spirit clings,
nth,nged, nnchangeable, that altar round.

TO THE ACTING GOVERNOR OF CAN
SHoREHAM, W., September 9

SHoREHAM W., September 90, 1841
SIR:-Depositions of respectable citizens of this
State have been placed in my hands, showing that
gross outrage was committed in the town of Al
burgh, iii this State or the morning of the Goth
instant, by party of armed men, supposed to be
volunteers or soldiers in Her Majestys service-a
part of Capt Jones' Light Dragons then stationed
at Missisquoi Bay. 1t appears that between two
and three o'clock on the morning aforesaid, from
twelve to twenty persons, part of them, at least,
in the uniform of said corps forcibly entered the
dwelling house of one William Brown of said AL
burgh, about three miles from the Province line,
rushed into the room where said Brown and his wife
were in bed, presented musket at Brown and
threatened to shoot him if he did not remain quiet
Others of the party entered an adjoining room,
and Selling one James w. Grogan, severely woun-
ding him. dragged him into the street with no cloth
ing on but his shirt, thrust him into wagon, and
forcibly conveyed him, naked as he was, to Clar-
enceville in the Province of Canada.
Circumstances leave not doubt but that this
brutal attack upon defenceless individuals, and
provoked aggression upon the sovereignty of a
neighboring government winked at, if not
planned and directed, by an officer in Her Majes-
ty's service.
Respect for the authorities of the government of
Canada forbids the belief that they will Justify this
high handed and atrocious act of a subordinate Of
icer, and trust that Grogan who is said to be by
birth an American citizen, if not Immediately re-
leased, will at least receive humane treatment
make this communication under the expectation,
that, whatever may be the character of Grogan or
of his offences against the government of Canada,
all proceedings against him will be suspended, in
consideration of the unustifabe manner of his ar
rest.
/ forbear to comment on the consequences which
will be likely to result from repeated aggressions of
this character, and remark in conclusion, that the
facts will be communicated to the General Govern
ment at Washington, that such measures may be
taken as the rights and honor Of our respective gov
ernments demand.
| am, sir with great respect,

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Governor Paine has entered upon the duties Of
his office and on Monday transmitted the annual
message to both Houses, which will be found in
our columns today. 1t is brief well written, and
business ike the Governor goes strait at his points
and expresses his views in a manly and ndepend-
ent style, yet with the modesty which becomes
one who is addressing coordinate branches Of
that government Of which he is a part. He I'M
derstands, too, the policy, the interests and the
rights of the State, and has witha the spirit firm
ly TO maintain them, so far as this duty devolves
upon him. Room and time fail of allowing ex-
tended comments so let us say that we are pleas
ed with the message, and commend it to our rea-
ders.
On the occasion OF introducing the first official
document of the new governor, we cannot with
hold passing compliment to his excellent and
esmable predecessor. Gov. Jenisou, has been n
faithful, discreet and efficient Chief Magistrate,
and fetires, we venture to say, with the high es-
teen Of all who have been associated with-him in
the government nd the respect Of all the cui-
zens of IL State.

COPY OF A LETTER FROM THE ACTING
GOVERNOR OF CANADA TO GOV. JEN-
GovERNMENT House, KINGSTON,
9th October, 1S41.
Sir,-I have the honor to acknowledge the re-
cept last night of your Excellency's despatch of
the 29th ultimo relative to aledged violation of
the territory of the State of Vermont by the ar
rest within it by some of Her Maestys subjects of
one Grogan, accused of having committed certain
crimes within the Canadian frontier.
Immediately on receiving intelligence of this
transaction, and long before your Excellencys des-
patch reached me, had directed an enquiry to be
instituted to ascertain
1st-Whether the arrest of Grogan had been
made within the territory of the United States.
2nd-Whether it was made stated by persons
in Her Majesty's service or by British subjects
And in order to avoid delay l at the same time di-
rected the Law Officer of the Crown at Montreal,
if it should be shown that Grogan had been lille
gally arrested at once to take the necessary legal
steps for setting him at liberty have not yet re-
ceiyed report in answer to these instructions, but
have every reason to expect that no delay will
take place. In the mean time your Excellency
NAV be assured that if the transaction be as repre-
scented, shall take efectual means to mark my
dsapprobation of the conduct of those concerned
in it-and more especially to visit with the utmost
rigor any officer soldiers in Her Majesty's SER
vice to whom participation i'll such outrage
may be brought home.
| beg your Excellency to believe that it is the
desire of the British authorities to avoid all pro-
ceedings inconsistent with the relations subsistng
between Great Britain and the United States, and
the duties which countries in amity they owe to
each other. The events of the last few years have
produced an irritation on both sides of the frontier
which it is not always possible to control but it
will be our endeavor to repress and restrain that
irritation as much as possible and in the execution
of this task feel sure that shall receive from
your Excellcncy and the other authorities of the
United States, that cooperation without which my
efforts could not be successful.
have the honor to be, Sir,
Your Excy's most ob't serv't.

despatch of this morning, have received from the
Law Officer of the crown at Montreala report from
which it appears that the evidence which they had
obtained on the subject proved that Grogan's
rest took place, was aledged, within the territory
of the United States. In conformity, therefore,
with their instructions they had taken steps for set
ting Grogan at liberty, and conveying him to the
frontier in the neighborhood of which he was ar
rested. am informed that Grogan left Montreal
accordingly on the 4th inst
beg to assure your Excellency that shall new
ertheless continue the investigation which have
directed, and if the information conveyed to your
Excellency that officers soldiers in Her Males
TVS service were implicated in this affair, should
prove correct shall not fail to visit the offence
with the utmost rigor
