SUPPRESSION OF SMALL NOTES.

TO The Editor Of The Union:
We have it stated that gentlemen of the legal
profession of this District have certified that the act of De-
ccmber 81 1854 for suppressing small notes therein does
apply to the notes of the corporation Of Georgetown
in extensive circulation The public dubious
the correctness of these conclusions and likely
remain until the reasons upon which they are founded
published. The Georgetown corporation certainly
within the words Of the act and her with
in the mgchef sought to be remeded, and their crcua
ton is apparently prohibited We hope those who hold
different opinions will publish their for them
that may judge for ourselves We don't want to vo-
late the law but fear shall IL take pay these
notes. MANY LABORERS.

All human heart, how strange thou art,
Contentment's seldom thinej

And fancied ills repine.
Oh! why should pleasures out Of reach
Call vain regrets and sighsi
OFT murmurs I'LL thy troubled breast
Where only praise should rise
Poor, foolish heart why thus give place
To grief where peace might bidel
Blind to the blessings thou'st received,
Because there's one denied.
Thou robb'st myself Of happiness,
Form thy path is strown,
Unnumbered blessings all unprized
Until forever flown.
And think you not that he who formed
Thy soul, the nobler part
Knows best what gifts he should bestowi
Weak mortal that thou art.
His view far, far exceeds thy own;
Believe thy God can see
That that for which thy heart repines,
Might prove curse TO thee.
And should il be some real good,
Twill not content thy heart;
Still one more blessing would'st thou crave,
And this no Joy impart.
