The APPEARANCE OF WASHINGTON CIrY.-0n
every side says the Evening Star, may be seen
the approaching session of the United Svates
Congress. Never, perhaps, were more extern
sive preparations made to entertain members,
visitors on business, and visitors from pleasure.
The year 1856 has been one of extensive build
ing in this city. Without commerce, without
manufactures, without any of the rich re.
sources of active industry, on which most Of
your growing towns depend, Washington has
attained to nearly 10000 permanent inhab-
tants. This number is increased with every
session of Congress. Men of all grades of in
tellect and of all characters, good and bad, and
Indifferent congregate here, and eagerly pursue
their various objects. Of the gentler sex, also,
there is always an abundant supply, and OF
various character. Curiosity and the love Of
enjoyment bring the ladies here, for it is re-
markable that at the seat of our republic. un'
like the same influence at the seat Of Mon
archy, Paris. for example, female intrigue 10
political affairs is an unknown element Votes
on minor questions, as those of pensions aud
claims, may be ruled by the interference Of tho
ladies; but the game of politics they leave TO
the male politicians.
A tender-hearted female like Miss Dix may
plead with indefatigable fever and potent bene-
violence for bill to relieve the miserable, but
she is then acting in her natural sphere she
does not soil her mantle with political stains.
Corruption, however, there will be, unless our
public men set themselves against all brides.
And these are presented in the most specious
and deceptive forms. Moreover, it is ofts,
said here that the probability Of the success
claim before Congress is generally in the
direct ratio of its boldness and magnitude.

ELECTION REruRss.-We give in our columns
this morning all the returns that have yet come
to hand, of the election held on Monday last
for State officers, members Of Congress, ETC.
It is impossible, from the meagre returns now
at hand, to arrive at any certainty as to who
is to be the next Governor. Under ordina
circumstances. the chances Of Mr.. Wickife,
Anti, would be considered the best; but Mr.
Derbigny, the American nominee, is expected
to gain largely in the Red River country
which heretofore has always been strongly
democratic; and If he runs as we'll as it has
been represented, he will, in all probability,
yet be elected, Notwithstanding his losses in
the Southern or Creole parishes. A few more
days will decide the question. He, Derbigny,
is now some four hundred and odd votes ahead.
We have not yet received any return from
the FIVE sided contest which came off in the
Empire State on Tuesday last, the 9th inst.

"a Some philantrapists Of Boston have formed
themselves into a Society and leased building
which they have called "Onr House." It contains
threelarg handsome rooms, which are appropriated
for the amusement and mutual instruction Of the
mechanics and laborers. One is fitted up as a
music and conversation room. Here the wives and
daughters Of the working men can assemble, and
any mechanic who can pay the fee Of one dollar
perannum, villhave society and music, even objects
Of beauty about him. It is hoped, eventually, to
sprinkle the walls with pictures and to place there
statuary and casts, and works Of art Another
room is furnished with library and newspapers
and quarterlies, where the laborer can spend his
evenings in quiet reading The lower saloon is a
public coffee and ice cream saloon, nothing being
allowed in the whole building which can in.o1icate.

vast naval armament now in the course of
construction in England, and only one paddle
wheel vessel in the number--a royal yacht.

printed in 1881, in Rev. DR.. Geo. B. Cheever's

IT'S midnight-from the dark blue sky,
The stars which now lojk down on earth,
Have seen ten thousand centuries fly,
AMI give to countless changes birth,
AMI when the pyramids shall fall,
And, moulierng, mix as dust in air.

May still behold them glorious there.
Slime on shine on with you tread
The march Of ages. orbs If lights
last eclipse may DER you spread
To me, to me, there comes no night.
o, what concerns it him, whose way
Lies upward to the immortal dead,
That a few hairs turning gray,
Oh one more year Of life has fed /!
Swift years hut teach me how to bear,
To feel, aud act, with strength and skill
To reason wisely nobly dare
And speed your courses as ye will.
When hfes meridian tolls are done.
How calm, how rich the twigh.'s glow
The morning twilight of sun
Ihat shines not here-0n things below.
But sorrow, sickness, death--the pain
To leave, or lose wife, children, friends
what then! ShAllwe not meet again,
Where parting comes not sorrow endsl
The fondness Of a parents care,
Inc changeless trust that woman gives,
The smile Of childhood-itis there
That ali we love ia them still lives.
Press onward through each varying hour;
Let no weak fears thy course delay;
Immortal being, feel thy power;
Pursue thy bright and endless way.
