You watched the dawning Of my youth,
And pressed me to your side;
Then love had filed my trusting heart
With hopes of future joy,
And thy bright fancy honors wove
To deck thy darling boy,'

How brightest hopes decay

And shame has left its venomed sting,
To rack with anguish wild!

The sorrows of thy child.

Unpitied and unblest;

How sorely I'm distressed;

Thou wouldst not give me pain,
But cheer me with thy softest words,
And bid me hope again.

DEEP PLoUGHING The editor of the
Visitor tells us that by using the snbsoil
plough, his crops Of potatoes were increased
last year one-third that where the subsoil
followed the other plough three baskets
were gathered to two where it was omitted
the same kind and quantity Of manure
being used in both cases, At two hundred
bushels to the acre, this is gain of three
hundred bushels on six acres ofland, these
at 25 cents per bushel would amount to
seventy five dollars for subsoiling six acres
in single year-to say nothing Of the gain
on the crops for the nexthalfa dozen years.
The difference on each farm of any size
would in twenty years amount to fortune.

Governors Message,

We give this document entire to our readers this
week. to the exclusion Of usual quantity of edto-
rial, news, &c. From very hlsty perusa we should
Judge that the message we'll written, and, in the
main, such as we should expect from so good and SO
able man as DR.. Eaton. But we very much regret
that he should not be explicit upon the subject of
slavery. To be sure the Governor denounces slavery
as threatening to absorb every other interest of the
government" and inquiries whether some farther &C
ton on the part of the Legislature not called for to
resist it, hut he does not specify what action can be
taken, Does he forget that he and his party have fol-
years averred that they had "done all that could be
done" for the overthrow of slavery? If they have
why call for further action? and if they have not are
they excusable for this neglect and should they be
trusted for the future9 The Governor ntimaes it is
true, that legislature should proclaim to the coun-
try that she.$Persiss in opposing the admission OF
any new slavehbldng State into the Union" but what
consistency moral, political power is there in
so doing, so long our State remains in fellowship
with party that ,ciH admit such States, and gives
her electoral vote to man in the midst of his loud
boastngs that, with his own right hand, he brought
Missouri into the Union with its endless train of op-
preston and blood?
Last year Governor Slade, in view of the enor-
NIFTY OF the annexation scheme, and other mea-
sures to make slavery the paramount interest of the
nation suggested the proprety, should these schemes
be perfected, of an inquiry whether our State would be
bound by the meO Union which slavery was forming
for us. The Texas iniquity was consummated as all
know to the entire satisfaction of the most greedy
human Hesh-monger of the south; and, as a conae-
quence, our nation is involved in war, demand
ing millions of treasure and rivers of blood. Not
wthstandiug all this, Gov. Eaton is now content to
speak OF the annexation scheme as "beyond reorieve"
of the war as an "uahqpRy war" and suggests the
ProPrety of declaring that Vermont "begins to feel
that there is point beyond which forbearunco ceases
to be virtue'" AT this rate, our next legislature
will be called upon, fthey can't begin to feel to begin
to "hegin to feel"
