The Committee to consider of his Excellency's
Message, reported TO the House that they should
be glad of Copy of the whole of Lord Hillsbor-
ough's Letter, Of the Governour's Letters upon
which Lord Hillsborough wrote of a Letter from
we sd Lord which he permitted the Secretary to
read to the Board and also of his Instructions in
Consequence of which the House appointed
Committee to wait upon his Excellency for that
Purpose the latter Part of their Request he COM
piled with in Message by the Secretary on Fri
day last, which was another Part of Hisbor-
ough's Letter, wherein he is instructed to dissolve
the House unless they comply with the Requisi-
ton, and he informs them if they oblige him to
dissolve them he shall not take it upon him to
call another House without his Maiesty's special
Order. We are waiting with earnest Expecta-
ton for the Report of the Committee, and | must
say hope that they will never comply with such
a Requisition; but in decent, proper Manner
state the Facts and discover the gross Misrepre-
sensations we labour under, and that the circular
Letter was not the Effect OF a desperate Faction

the Voice of great Majority Of the House and
consequently of the Province. This whole Affair
is done with view to divide the Colonies they at
and thinking if they can but crush the Massachu-
sets Province, the rest will fall with ii. We
have the appreciation Of several Representative
Bodies with Respect to our Conduct in their An
swers to circular Letter, so that it is too late
for them to treat it with that contempt which
Hillsborough thinks it merits, and fancy it will
ever be too for all the others. 1t is said we
can't expect much good from Hilsborough. ]

FROM THE GERMAN OF SCHILLER.
From Earth's black and darksome valley,
By.coid mists and clouds oppressed,
Gould forth in freedom sally, Is
Then, indeed, might be blessed!
Pleasant hills are yonder.l lying,
Hills how tempting to the eye;
Were plumed with wings for flying,
There for peace and rest Id fly.
There sweet harmonies are ringing.
Sweet as sounds Of heavenly rest;
And soft ocean gales are bringing
Odours from their native West.
There the golden fruits are glowing
Through the dusky foliage bright;
And the flowers, in thousands blowing,
Fear no winters chill or blight.
From the blue skies smiling yonder,
Pours food of endless day;
Healing are the winds that wander,
And around those submits play.
But between US rolls river,
Where the wrathful tempest raves;
How my very soul doth shiver,
Gazing on those gloomy waves!
In yon rocking boat Id ventule,
But | see no steersman there:
Forward, in, undaunted enter,
Trust the power that swels the sails.
Ready to believe and venture.
In thy caith thy safety dwells:-
'Tis by miracles men enter
The bright land of miracles!

THE SECRET SERVICE FUND. There has
been much talk recently of the Secret Service
Fund This fund has always been appropriate
ed by Congress, and its appropriation has been
left, by the law, to the sole discretion of the
President.
"The New York Telegraph says that the
largest expenditure ever made by the Ameri-
can Government in this way, since the Revou-
ton, was in 1912, when John Henry, supposed
to be British agent, received from Mr. Madi-
son $4,000 in two drafts on the Treasury, one
of $4,000 and the other of $1,000. Before he
left the United States, he purchased of the
Count de Griloa, then at Washington, an es-
tatein Languedoc, France, for 400, 900 francs Of
which the amount received from our Govern
ment was supposed to have been part.
MIR. Madison sent message to Congress in
forming them of the plot, and also with the
message, series of letters between this George
Henry and sir Thomas Craig, Governor Gene
raj of Canada, and his Secretary, Mr.. Ryland.
Henry made these discoveries in consequence
as he alleged, of ''the peIlidy and dishonor OF
those who first violated the conditions on which
he received their confidence, +" and on the ground
of retaliation. The papers he communicated
were voIumnous and Congress thought them
SO important as to print 5000 copies, appearing
to believe in the authority of the documents.
Henry was an Englishman, and had been a
captain in our army Of 1898.
The British Minister at Washington, Mr..
Foster, disavowed the whole affair in an Off
cial letter to the Secretary of State, who also
made a report to the President, that the de-
partment was not in possession OF any names
or persons in the United states who had any
way countenanced the project and views of Mr..
Henry.
The affair made "a great sensation at the time,
but the author of it left the country few weeks
after his communication had been made public,
aud sailed from New York the 10th ofMarcil,
1912, in the Wasp for France His subsequent
career, we have not yet been able TO trace.
During the Revolution large sums were ex-
pended for secret services, and in l776 the a.
mount appropriated for those purposes was a.
bout 600, 900.
Oflate years the amount expended has been
very trihing'"

THE HEARTS, GUESTS.

BY MRS. 0RNE.
When age has cast its shadows
O'er llfe's declining way,
When evening twilight gathers
Round our retiring day;
Then shall we sit aud ponder
On the dim and shadowy past,
In the hearts silent chamber,
The guests will gather fast.
Guests that in youth we cherished,
Shall come to US once more;
Aud we shall hold communion
AS in the days before.
They may be dark and sOmbre,
Tney may be bright a2d fair,
But the heart will have its chamber,
The guests will gather there.
How shall it be, my sisters,
Who shall be our hearts guests?
How shall it be, my brothers,
When LIES shadow on US rests
ShaH we not mid the silence,
Hear voices sweet and low,
Speak the old familiar language,
The words of long ago?
Shall we not see dear faces,
Sweet smiling as of old;
Till the mISts of that lone chamber
Are sunset clouds of gold?
When age has cast its shadows
O'er life's declining way,
And evening twilight gathers
Round our retiring day.
