Cnnfented John.

One honest John Tompkins, hedger and ditcher.
Although he was poor, did not wish to be richer,
For all these vain wishes to him were paventod
Nv fortunate habit of being contented.
Though cold were the weather. dear were the food,
John never was found in murmuring mood
For this he was constantly heard to declare,
"Wha he could not prevent he could cheeriuly bear"
"For why should grumble and murnur?' he said,
"If cannot get meat I'll be thankful for bread;
And though lrettng may make my caamities deeper,
1t can never cause bread and cheese to be cheaper
II John was afflicted with sickness or pain,
He wished himself better, but did not complain,
Nor lie down to fret in dependence and sorrow,
But said he hoped to be better tomorrow.
If any one wronged him, or treated him ILL.,
Why John was good naiured and sensible still;
For ho said that revenging the injury done
Would be making two rogues where there need be
but one.
And thus honest John, though his station was humble
Passed through this sad world without grumbe,
And 'twere well IL some folks, who are greater ant
richer,

The General Assembly.

The letter of our intelligent correspon-
dent does not overestimate the influence OF
our members in the Legislature. Last
summer, we frequently took occasion to re-
fer to the Importance of sending our best
men to represent the great and varied in
terests of our people in the General Assem-
bly,, and we feel satisfied now that the citi-
zens of the county of New Hanover, in act
ing i'll accordance with this opinion, have
much cause to congratulate themselves
In no single instance has our representa-
tives failed to pass measures tending to
promote the welfare and prosperity of their
county and city, while the liberal and en-.
ightened policy pursued towards all the
important measures intended to restore the
prosperity of the State and develop hel
wealth and resources, uninfuenced by local
or personal jealousies, gave them an influ.
ence of which the county may well be
proud, and which, we believe, was used fol-
the best interests of the entire State.
