CONTENTED JOHN. One honest John Tonikins. a hcd;er and ditcher, Although he was poor, didn't want to be richer For all such vain wishes to him were prevented, By a fortunate habit of being coutented. Though cold was the weather, or dear was the food, John never was found in a mnrnicring; mood; For this he was constantly heard to declare What he could not prevent, he would cheerfully bear. "For why should I grumble and manner," he said, If I cannot, get meat, I can surely got bread; And tho' fretting may make my calamities deeper, It never can cause bread and cheese to be cheaper." Tf John was afflicted with sickness and pain, He wished himself "better," but did not complain, Nor lie down to fret in despondence and sorrow, But said, that he "hoped to be better to-morrow." If any one wronged hi in, or treated him ill, Why, .John was good natured and sociable still; For he said that "revenging the injury done, Would be making two rogues, when there need be but one." And this honest John, tho' his station was humble, ; Passed through this sad world without even a grumble. And I wish that some folks who are greater and richer, i Woule copy John Tomkins, the hedger and ditcher. Wysocking, Sept. 24. Nathan, Esq.

One of those lawless men to be found frequently in the far West, who set at defiance God, humanity and law, was shot down in Louisiana last month. The desperado's name was Lebleu. A Louisiana paper gives tin account of the assassination : A great criminal offender, Paul'm C. Lebleu the cold-blooded murderer of Ewing and Parsons the,. cold-hearted wife seducer and kidnapper the lawless desperado of the parish of Calcasieur. who once dared and did force his own negro slave to sit on the bench of the District Court of that parish during Court time, and in derision of the presiding Judge has at last met with that fate he so richly deserved. As to the particulars of his death we are indebted to S. Bclden, Esq., who has just returned from the Court of tltat parish: and we here give them as communicated to us by that gentleman : On Monday, the 13th inst.. the District Court commenced its regu ar session at Lake Charles, the seat of justice in the parish of Calcasieu. Every thing about town indicated that a deep under-current was at work for some purpose unknown to strangers: for t lie western wing of the Hotel dis played in fine order and good keeping many double barreled guns, pistols and bowie knives. Like im plements of warfare were also conspicuously vissi hle in the Court room. Tilings remained in that state until Wednesday morning, at which time Paulin C. Lehlieu. coming in from the country, rode up to the track of the hotel, descended from his mule, and started towards the house, with a pair of heavy dragoon pistols across his arm, be sides a repeater and a bowie knife in his belt, lie had almost reached the steps of the west wing of the hotel, when he was shot from the front of the same steps, four different times, by a mar; named Eugene Eoux and several others, who all had been the victims of the lust and other depravi ties of Lebleu. Each discharge was deadly. His right arm was awfully mangled; four buck shot penetrated through his neck, one through his right breast, one through the lower parr of his abdomen, and the balance as he turned at the fire took effect in his shoulders and back. It appears that he received from thirty-five to forty buck-shot through the most vital portions of his person. Lebleu expired almost instantly. And thus closed the life of one whose early career has been stained with blood and ruin, all of which could have been prevented, if those intrusted with the administration of justice in that parish had only performed their duty fearlessly and regardless of consequences. We are told that from his man hood Lebleu prided himself in the violation of the laws of his country in the most outrageous mannei. and that none ever dared to arrest him for doing so. a- aw A Fix. Oh, doctor, run down to our house as quick as ever yon kin! Dick's got the m easels from eend to eend, and Tom turned a summerset over the fodder stack and smashed his nose all to flinders. Sam's got the pieken chox, and mother's got the biggest kind o' fit, and dad's drunk the worst sort, and and, the way I rant candy, oh, Lordy! STREET BEGGING. There is some stir now in Philadelphia and New York, among the authorities, to put down street begging, especially by children. It has long been j against tho law, and one of the instructions to the j police has been, to arrest every such offender. But i arrests are not made, and the streets, hotels, stores and dwellings are beset bv legions of men, women and children, who make piteous and importunate : appeals for charity. People of kindly sympathies : are apt to listen to such appeals only until they i become familiar with the cities, and find, as they soon do, not only that they are against Law, but i that they are universally regarded as being made by persons altogether unworthy of relief There j are charitable institutions in New York for every class of sufferers, and those who are woi thy know full well where to go for assistance. The' do go. Their feelings are not outraged, but the relief is granted kindly. promptly and systematically, whilst it is needed. The street beggars are those who know that they have no real claim upon chari ty, and that they cannot pass that ordeal of inqui ry and examination to which all who ask relief of the charitable institutions are subjected. We happen to know a lady in Xew York who has long been a patron and Directress of one of those charities one for the reception and care of little children, either orphans or children of pa rents who go out to work. A poor woman, for in stance, has to go out to wash or sew for a day. She cannot carry her little child with her, but she takes it to this institution, where it is watched and nursed or fed. and returned to her at night. For this a charge of a sixpence is made, not for profit, but to prevent imposition. Or orphan children are taken and reared without cost till they are old enough to do something for their own support, re ceiving in tho meantime a good plain education. Many mothers who carry their children there are themselves hired to take care of there own and other children. The first ordeal to which they arc subjected, on entering, is the bath cleanliness being an indispensable rule. Sometimes that pro duces rebellion; people who have all their lives lived in dirt being unwilling to be clean. But when submitted to, the effect is manifest upon body and mind. The institution contains some hundreds of chil dren, and numerous women to take care of them. Its immense building is always full. It was be gun upon a very small scale, by a few ladies. Its success made it other friends. The State gave it 810.000, and individuals have taken care that it should never want. A lady of this place who visited it was delighted with the air and comfort and neatness and order which pervaded it. She left it deeply impressed with the conviction that there are generous hearts among the rich of that city who do not forget that the poor they have always with them, and who are ever ready with time and means to minister to their wants.

Haules, 41 How the Boy Knew his Father. At a justice's court in the "(ireen Mountain State," some years ago, the following amusing incident occurred: A very ill-natured and quarrelsome person was concerned in a street brawl, one night, and pot a blow from somcbodv, which resulted in a ''black eye" and a suit for assault and battery. In the course of the trial, a son of the plaintiff was called to the witness' stand a regular "chip of the old block," about fifteen years of age. The boy testified to some knowledge of the affray, but could not rive any particulars, as the night was an exceedingly dark one. "Now, sir," said the cross-examining attorney, "will you venture to swear that your father was there at all?" "Yes, sir, I know he was there." "But you say you did not see him, nor hear him speak: how. then, did you know he was present?" "Why, I'll tell you. Just as T c;ime out of the gate. I heard Joe Smith (the defendant ) holler out, "There goes the old devil!' and T knew he meant dad!" Dni NKAKDs' Asylum. A highly creditable, philanthropic experiment (says the Philadelphia Inquirer.) is about to be made in New York. The foundations of an Asylum intended for the cure and reformation of inebriates have jut been laid tit Binghanipton. Among the distinguished men who participated in the ceremonies, or gave to the movement the weight of their names, were Edward Everett, Daniel S. Dickinson, Banjamin F. Butler, Dr. Bellows, and Dr. Francis. A handsome fund has already been raised for the completion of the building, and a large benefaction in money is ex pected from the State. A law is contemplated ap propriating to the support of the institution a por tion of the money received for licences for the sale of spirituous liquors. We shall watch the result of this undertaking with the deepest interest. Many of the best physicians believe that intemperance is a disease which is curable with the proper means. An opportunity to test this theory is now about to be afforded, and we sincerely trust that it may re sult in success. D. W. Ray, J. F. Marshall. R. J. Gage. Executive Committee. Investments by Royalty in the United States. The N. Y. Herald states that the Queen of Spain has agents here, who have command of two millions of dollars, to be invested in this coun try. The same paper states that most of the crowned heads of Eun pe are doing an active busi ness in the way of investments in the I'nited Statei. Louis Phillippe had targe possessions in our Republic, and Louis Napoleon has sent from three to five millions here to be invested by his agents. It is said that the greatest operators in this way are the petty princes pf G rmany, whose investments in American securities amount, it is believed, to fully fifty millions of dollars.

We occasionally receive notices from Postmasters that a subscriber at their offices has not taken the paper from the office for six months or a year, or several years. And all efforts to get information as to who did take it from the office are generally fruitless. Postmasters make themselves liable hy neglect lo inform Editors in such cases, or by taking the paper themselves; but they seldom admit their liability. We have be fore us an instance of honesty in such a case that deserves to be recorded, as an example to some other Postmasters in like cases. Wm. D. Farmer, Postmaster at Joyner's Depot, Edgecombe county, N. C, writes us that one of our subscribers at that office had not taken the paper fn m the office for three years. But Mr. Fanner encloses to us the amount of subscription for tln se three years. He has our thanks, as well as the approval of his own conscience. FayetttvUf? Ob.n-ccr. Flatfooted CorKTsnip. One long summer afternoen there came to Mr Jones' the most curious specimen of an old bachelor the world ever heard of. lie was old, grey, wrinkled and ugly. He hated women, especiallv old maids, and wasn't afraid to say so. lie and Aunt Putty had it hot and heavy, whenever chance threw them together; yet still he came, and it was noticed that Aunt Patty took unusual pains with her dress whenever he was expected. One day the contest waged un usually strong; Aunt Patty left him in disgust, and went out into the garden. "The bear," she mut tered to herself, as she stopped to gather a blossom which attracted her attention. "What did yon run away for?" said a gruff voice close to her side. "To get rid of vou." "You didn't do' it, did you ?" "No; you are worse than a burdock bur." "You won't get rid of me, neither;" "I won't eh ?" "Only in one wnv." "And that." "Marry me." "What, us two fools get married ? What will people say ?" "That's nothing to us. Come, say yes or no, 1 am in a hurry." "Well no, then." "Very well, good bye; Ishant come again." "But stop a bit what a pucker to be in." "Yes or no." "I must consult " "All right, I though you was of age. Good bye." "Jabez Andrews, don't be a fool. Come back, come back, I say. Why, 1 believe the critter Iils taken me for earnest. Jabtz Andrews, I'll con sider." "I don't want no considering. I'm gone. Becky Hastings is waiting for me. I thought I'd give you the first chance. All right. Good bye." "Jabez, Jabez ! That stuck up Becky Hastings shant have him, if I die for it. Jabez- Yes. Do you hear ? 1 say Y-E-s ! " Singular Infatuation. The Philadelphia Press mentions a curious circumstance connected with the loss of the Austria: The wife of Mr Gerok of Baltimore, is now visit ing her relatives in Philadelphia; and while they have no doubt, of his loss, she alone has a deep conviction that he is not dead; either that he was not on board the Aus tria (though he wrote to her that he had paid for his passage) or if he was, that he must have been among tho few that were rescued. But here b something still more strange: It may be within the knowledge of many of our readers that a clergyman of this city was among those who left for Europe on the ill-fated President and was never again heard of. His wife, who re mained in Philadelphia, and was deeply attached to him, never did, because she never could, be lieve that he was lost to her. Eighteen vcara have passed away, and yet that trusting lady we can not speak of her as wife, and she repudiates the name of widow continues to expect his return. Every day a cover is placed for him at the table, where still stands his accustomed chair. Every ring at the bell, wc are informed, awakens the cherished conviction of her heart that the loved one will return. Pouk A chemical view of it. Dr. Wienland, of Cambridge, just before sailing in the A'auderbilt on a visit to his native country, Wurtenburg, left a pamphlet in which he hxs undertaken an capote of the terrible dangers which attend the use of pork as a diet. The note of warning, indeed, has often been raised, and still thousands of pounds of meanly pork arc eaten weekly. The immense quantity of pork, most foully fed, which is receiv ed from the West, is especially subject to uipasles or tape-worm; and the allied troops in the Crimea suffered greatly in consequence of the article which was supplied to them. The measles iu pork uie "nothing but the Iqrrae of the c mmon Taenia solium," which, when taken into the human stom ach, dcvclope into the full grown tape-worm, and icach sometimes a length of twenty feet. As these lor me seldom lose vitality in the cooking of pork, they are eaten nnconciously in large quantities. Butchers, says Dr. Wienland, sell measly pork with full cognizance of its condition, and should be restrained from doing so by legal enactments. "Do you believe in second love Mister McQuadt?" "Do I believe in second love? Humph! If a man buys a pound of sugar, isn't it swatc? and when it's gone, don't he want another pound, and isn't that swate, too?
