THE SCHOLARS INHERITANCE.
Not gold and gems mot meadows and pastures,
fat hocks and waving grain mot deeds, bonds, mort
cages and stocks-such things seldom fall to the
scholars lot If he have matched cottage, shady
elm, musical brook, a maple dish, with his books
and clear mind, he may well be content, and deem
himself rich wthal. Often is he poorer than this
but weighs not scanty wardrobe and the uncertain
meal, in comparison with knowledge. Yet is the
scholar heir to worthier inheritance, measured out
by no metes and bounds, weighed in no earthly bal
ances, and of value assgnabe by no ordinary cal
cuus 1t embraces every pebble, every spire OF grass
every flashing wave, the depths of the sea, the cav
erns of the earth-it compasses the circuit Of the
stars and he weighs and measures them his right
full possessions. Wherever aught may be known,
there is his realm. Every thought, feeling, act of
man, in the long reach of his history, past and to
come is his. The spirits of earth and air are his; ;
the soul of the flower and the demon of the mine, the
invisible agencies of the wind and the melodies Of
the spheres. With reverent awe he passes into the
society of celestial herarches not as stranger but
as one of them, Lowly and humble in his temper
the shining laws and orders of the universe are his
as he is duly subject to them. The unseen messen-
gers that pass 10 and fro between heaven and earth
visit him too, in his meckness and integrity.
To this inheritance he is always welcome In the
regions of thought will hinder his entrance
There, no hiring clauses no writs of ejectment
Nature receives her child heartily, and with good
cheer The heart of the world is open to him who
carries true heart within him. Science throws
open all her stores TO him who would enjoy them his
own rudeness only, and want of skill, deain him
from the complete fruitlon.
This inheritance is everlasting. His title to it lies
in no bond nor lease, but deep in his own immortal
being. No earthly law divest it, no ordinance of
princes abate its worth nothing but his own recreancy
and baseness. He who made the eye for light, made
also the soul for truth and the sight of the soul
which fails not through age is evidence that the per-
cepton shall hereafter grow clearer forever.

MASSACHUSETTS.

The Governor of Massachusetts, on "Wednesday
last sent message the Legislature, containing the
following extract relative to the Northeastern Boun-
dairy
1--WE have sufficient evidence that Great Brta in
deems the possession OF portion OF the territory wes
of the treaty line Of the greatest Importance 10 her
TO facilitate intercourse between her provinces we
feel also as ii she could not resist with violence the
demonstratiye proofs contained in the treaty of our
right 10 this territory She has therefore in carrying
out her wishes NANTES ed but one aternative-whch
is TO enforce if she can, her prelenson against right
or to propose conventional boundary. Ii she takes
the latter course it must be founded an equivalent
for any concession made for her accommodation, and
that equivalent must be satisfactory to Maine, which
holds the right Of State u lsdicton and moley OF
the soil /; and to the United States, which hold the
power of negotiation and settlement for we can ac-
knowledge constitutional right TO transfer territory
and jurisdiction without the assent the States lnte-
rested.
Without any evidence of coming events beyond
probability have thought such contingency like
ly to occur that could not reconcile II with my duty
to leave it unprovded for. | have therefore brought
il TO your consideration, not because doubt the cha
racter Of our title to the territory, or because would
invite terms of compromise which would involve
voluntary surrender of what belongs to U.S. would
imply any uncertainty as TO our resolute determine
ton maintain rights but that provisions may be
made for making known the sentiments OF the com
monweath in terms OF compromise shall be dis
cussed with View TO a settlement. The sentiments
of Maine and the United States are unknown to me,
except as disclosed the public but do not view II
as an impossibiy that terms may be proposed which
will meet the appreciation of both, and it is for this
event | would have the Commonwealth prepared
that she may and vindicate her just lghs, and
at the same time do whatever is consistent with them
to promote amcabe adjustment OF the controversy.
