THE SIGH.
Gentle sigh, the breath of lovers,
Vapor of secret fire,
Which by thee itself discovers,
&rc yet daring to aspire
Sweetest note Of whispered anguish,
Harmony's refined part,
Striking, whilst thou seem'st to anguish,
Full upon the tender heart;
Softcst messenger of passion,
Stealing through crowd of spies,
That constTain the outward fashion,
Seal the lips, and guard the eyes;
Vicwless herald Of emotion,
Wing thee to my Lauia's ear,
Tell her all my hearts devotion
Tell her she alone is dear
Hopeless sigh ah! why discover
Passion, deep as Tasso knew
Is it not enough to love her,
Whom may not--darc to wool
Cease, oh cease to breathe my anguish,
Faithless tell-tale as thou art;
Softly into silence languish,
Die upon this breaking heart.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF THE GOVERNOR OF
MAINE.-The Boston Mercantile Advertiser
makes some extracts from it, and speaks of it
"as a well written, sensible document-rather
elaborate, it is true, but Astounding in interesting
information and useful suggestions"
The Boundary question forms prominent
subject of the address. After abiding TO the
obstacles and delays which have hitherto pre-
vented an arrangement, Gov. Kent says;
"The time cannot be far distant, when the
question must assume. more definite shape,
either peaceable or warke and much as we
NAV deprecate the awful evils and miseries OF
war, we ought to be prepared TO meet the issue,
if such after all, is the determination OF our OPP
ponents, with the frmness OF men who feel hat
they have the right, and who will not yield TO
threats or force the inheritance OF our fathers
and the rightful territory OF our state The
unanmity which has characterized our state on
this question, in the midst of all our political ex-
citements, is sure guarantee that the people
are ready to sustain their rulers in all judicious,
temperate. vet firm and decided measures, and
that il is regarded by them as too sacred and too
solemn a subject TO be made the instrument OF
any mere party schemes or movements"
He adverts to the occupation, by order Of the
Governor General of Canada, of the posts at
Tamscouta Lake and Madawaska, by British
troops in direct violation OF the stipulated agree
ment between the authorities of New Bruins
wick and Maine, and says:
Il cannot but view this proceeding, as my
predecessor does, in his reply to Sir John Har--
vey, as a direct and palpable Infringement OF
the subsisting arrangement and as taking milf
tary possession of tn It portion OF the contested
territory. And if the suggestion OF 1t Govern
or Harvey, who seems not to have been consult
ed in relation to this new act Of jurisdiction, and
who evidently regards it with regret II not as an
infringement Of subsisting arrangement IS as
regarded and the British troops are ermanen'iy
located at Madawaska, ] shall feel It my duty 20
reiterate the request already made to the General
Government, and to urge upon that government y
possession on that part of the United States of
the territory in dispute. The General Govern
ment owes it to Maine TO move forward in this
matter with promptness and energy, with a
sincere, and even anxious desire TO preserve

THE SUM OF LIFE.

BY }. o. ROCKWELL.
SEARcHga or GoLp--whose days and nights
All waste away in anxious care;
Eslranged from all LIES pure delights,
Unlearncd in all that is most fair;
Who safest not with easy glide,
But delvest in the depth Of tide,
And strugglest 10 the foam
Oh come and view this land Of graves
Deaths northern sea of frozen waves,
And mark thee out thy home.
Lover or WOMEN whose sad heart
Wastes like fountain in the sun,
Clings most where most its pain doth start,
Dies by the light il lives upon
Come TO the land ofgraves for here
Are Beauty's smile and Beauty's tear
Gathered in holy trust;
Here slumber forms as fair as those
Whose cheeks, now living, shame the rose
Their glory turned TO dust.
LOVER OF FAME--whose foolish thought
Steals onward from the wave of Time
Tell me, what goodness hath it brought
Atoning for that restless crme2
The sprit-mansion desolate
That opens to thy storms of fate,
The absent soul in fear
Bring home thy thoughts, and come with me,
And see where all thy pride must he;
Searcher of Fame, look here!
And WARmoR--thou Of sunny plume,
That goest to the bugle's call
Come and look down--ihis lonely tomb
Shall hold thee and thy glories all
The naughty brow, the manly frame,
The daring deeds, the sounding fame,
Are trophies but for Death
And millions who have toiled like thee
Are stayed, and here they sleep; and see
Does GLORY lend them breath
