VENTION.
I wants a piece of talito
To make inv doll a gdess;
I dosen't want a big piece
A yard'll do, I dess.
1 wlxh ynn'd frod my needle,
And find my fimble, too;
I has sucb heaps ' sowin'
I dou't know what to do,
My Hopry tore her apron
A turn 'Ira' down the stairs
And Cicsar's h-st his pantaloons,
And needs a nuzzer pair.
1 wants my Maud a bonnet:
She hasn't none at all;
And Fred must have a jacket;
ilia tuzzer oue's too email.
I wants to go to grandma's,
You promised me 1 might;
I know she'll like to see me
I waut to go to-night.
She luts me wash the dishes,
Aud see in grandpa's watch
I wish 1 had free, four pennies
To buy some butter scotch.
I wants some newer mittens
I wish you'd knit me some,
'Cause most my linger freezes.
They leak so in thefum,
I wored it out last summer
A pulliu' George! sled
I wish you woiild'u laugh ho,
It hurts moin my head.
I wish I had a cookie
I'm hungry's I t an be;
If you hasn't p etty large ones.
You'd better bring me free.
THE FOUR SEASONS.
SPRING
From beyond the purple chmnds,
Through the mild and balmy air,
Start the April sunshine down
On the world so freah and fair,
'Mid the verdue, here and tliere,
Flowerets peep with golden eyes;
Sparkling rain-drops gently fall,
Like a blessing from the skies.
lo the field, the farmer tofts;
Singing gaily, at his plow;
lu the budding woodland, near,
Hear the robins coral now,
All the earth seems glad and bright;
Winter's storms are gone from view,
Nature, from her rest, awakes
Once again to bloom anew.
81TMMER.
Through the Bjltry summer skies,
Light clouds slowly come nnd go,
Peacefully their shadows fall
On the dreamy world below.
Merrily i ho crickets sing,
In the meadows green and fair.
Summer roses are iti bloom
And their fragraucc tills the air.
Softly sweeps the southern wind.
O'er the field of waving corn;
Joyfully along the air,
Sounds the weleome dinner horn,
Aud its echoes die away
'Mid the leafy wood near by.
Where, beneath the tie.-., at tioon
Lazily the cattle lie.
AUTUMN.
Gloomy clouds are Hying past.
And the cool October breeze.
Sighing with a mournful Round
Through the brauches of tlio-treea,
Scatter Autumn's golden leave
Uoiighly over the world so drear.
Siuniner's sunny days are past,
And the wiutry storms are near.
Faded are the (lowers now.
Ami the earth seoms bleak aud lone;
To a more cougenial clime
Have the swallows homeward flown.
Gathered is the goldeu grain
From the stubble fields below.
Soou will weary nature find
Rest, beneath the winter's snow.
WINTER.
From the North the chilling winds,
With a solemn moaniug. blow
O'er the dark and dismal world,
Covered by the Heecy snow,
Autumn's glory long has tied.
And the trees, so tall and bare.
Stand like sentinels, alone,
Iu the cold and frosty air.
Seethe crystal iceiele.
Clinging to the frozen caves,
f And the cold, white window panes
Covered o'er with phantom leaves,
And the thrifty farmers, now
Seated by their cheerful fires.
Take their comfort and their ease.
While the good old year expires.
INFLUENCE.
Drop follows drop, and Bwvlls
With raiu the sweeping river;
Word follows word, aud tella
A truth that lives forever.
Flake follows flake, like spirits
Whose wings the wiud dissever;
Thought follows thought, and light
The rvalm of mind forever.
Rai follows beam to cheer
The cloud a bolt would shiver;
Throb follows throb, and fear
Gives place to ioy forever.
The drop, the flake, the beam,
Tench us a leasou ever;
The word, the thought, the dream,
Impress the soul forever,

the ordinance to reduce the number of slate
! senators to 25, was announced.
Mr. Barrtnger offered an ordinance as a sub
stitute for the pending proposition, that the sen
ate shall co, ai of 24 members elected fornix
years and divided into three classes, one-third
to go out of oflice every two years.
Mr. Clingtuan was opposed to the proposi
tion.
Mr. Badger favored the proposition.
He was really in favor of lopping off
the senate altogether, lie was in favor ot re
taining the house of representatives as the popu
lar branch, and gfving the governor a qualified
veto iMwer. ' He moved to recommit to the
Committee on the Legislative Department with
instruction to report an ordinance to abolish
the senate and giving the governor the veto
power, but-a majority vote to override the
veto.
After some debate Mr. Vanghan took the
floor. He had introduced the original ordi
nance to abolish the senate. He utterly failed
to see what check the senate was on hasty leg
islation. He thought it ought to be abolished as
a matter of economy. If the ordinance to abol
ish the senate utterly failed to pass, he was in
favor of the one to reduce the number of sena
tors. Mr. Turner was opposed to the whole matter.
Mr. Allertson thought that the use for the
senate had long si nee passed and ke was in
la vor of abolishing it.
Mr. Manning of Chatham, moved to lay the
whole matter on the table. The yeas and nays
were called and the motiou was rejected, yeas
52, nays 61.
Mr. Badger withdrew his motion lo recommit.
On motion of Mr. Price the convention ad
journed until to-morrow at 10 a. m.

Mr. Manning of New Hanover, submitted a
report from the Committee on Amendment.
Mr. French again offered the petition from
the ladies of Wilmington in regard to the sale
ot liquor, saying that the objection to it on ac
count ol being anonymous was removed, as he
and the delegate from Henderson, Mr. Wood-
fin, had signed it in behalf of the ladies. 1 he

Mr. Reid, from the Committee on Revision,

to 25.
The question recurred upon Mr. Barringer's
substitute published yesterday.
Mr. Avery moved to recommit the whole
matter to the Committee on the Legislative
department, and ou the motion called the pre
vious question.
1 he veas and nays were called and the call
for the previous question :was sustained by a
vote of yeas 57, nay 55.
The question then recurred on the motion to
recommit and it prevailed by a vote of yeas 58,
nays 54.
The announcement of the vote taken yester
day on the motion to lay on the table Mr.
Chamberlain's- motion to reconsider Mr. Jarvis'
resolution recommitting the Robeson county
case lu the Committee on Privileges and Elec
tions, was announced as the next thing iu order.
Mr. Tonrgee said that he raised the same
objection which he did on yesterday, to-wit :
that Messrs. Mchaclun nnd Mnelair had no
right lo vote and asked a decision of the chair.
1 he chair said that he had already decided
some lour or live limes anu would reiterate the
decision.
The chair ruled that it was not the proper
time for an apnea! and that the vote must be
announced, and was about to so announce it
when a stoim of calls of "object ! ' object s
"object!" and yells and boots burst from the
Republican sale, which put the convention in a
state of confussion from which it did not recov
er for nearly two hours.
V arious gentlemen denounced the scene as
being pre-eminently disgraceful.
Alter a disorderly and loud debate Mi. lour-
gee withdrew his appeal and the chair an
nounced the vote as standing yeas bU, nays b,
so the motion lo reconsider the vote by which
Mr. Jarvis resolution recommitting the Kobe-
son county matter was adopted lays on the ta
ble.
Mr. Tburgce moved that the ballot be veri
fied by expounding the names of Messrs.
McEachin and Sinclair.
Mr. Dunn next took the floor. He said that
the resolution of Mr. Jarvis was simply recom
mitting the question to the Committee on
Privileges and ejections as ascertain what was
the true will of the people of Robeson. He
proceeded to prove that all the requirements of
i ust ice went to show that the matter should be
. .
recommitted.
