Appointments and Disappointments.--It j.
well known that, throughout the past week, the
Capitol was besieged by an army of place seekers
who made the newly-elected officers Of the House
their objests ofattack-or, opportunities. Some O
the anxious ones were so powerfully "backed" in
their petitions that a doubt Of their success was
not for moment entertained, while others sought
by individual exertion, 10 obtain the glltering
prizes which lured but TO deceive. Iftheir several
craniums could have been examined by phrenolo-
gists, the latter would have reported the bumps
of hope" more than usually prominent Mem
bers of Congress were kept busy engineering
for their friends, and signing recommendations
and applications TO serve passports 10 the dds
pensers of the spoils" However, such papers, in
the general, have turned worthless for, of the
many who strove but comparatively few were
made happy in the attainment of their aims. The
hundreds who lost their time, their strength, and
their accumulated Influence" drought 10 bear
the distributors Of places,) disappointed in their
long-cherished expectations, do not speak in com
plimentary terms of the result Of the oficehuning
in and about the Capitol!
Patents.-During the past week ffty-fve pa
tents were issued, together with three reissues;
and seven designs are reported In the long list
appear the following notices John Clark, Of
Washington, ID. c., and George M. N. Yost, of
Pittsburg, Pa, for improvement in ploughs; John
S. GalIaher, Jr, Of Washington, d. c., for improve
ment in gas and steam cooking apparatus; John
Prince, of Washington, ID. c., for Improvement
in ships compasses; and s. w. Wood, of Wash
ington, D. c., for improvement in railroad car
couplings. This will do pretty well for the metro
polls for one week, in the way Of patents
st. Valentine.--To day, doubt not thou
sands of those missions called Valentines" will
be distributed throughout this city; some respect
full and loving in their character and others
blingy and personally sharp, intended TO wound
the hearts OF the recipients. We have
quantance with Mr.. Valentine, but, if what is
said Of him is true he will condemn such an I'M
authorized liberty and scandal of his name
The KnOw-nothing Legislative Caucus, at
Annapolis Maryland, yesterday nominated An

why Love Thee.

why L Love Thee.
Do-i thou ask mo why love thee7
Ask the sunbeam why il shines,
Ask the blossom whyit opens,
Ask the woodbine why il twines:
I'm the dark | cannot stay.
When the morning winds are calling
With the birds sweet roundelay
And the blossom will make answer,
Still and lone cannot dwell,
Selfshly my odors nursing
In their narrow, folded cell J"
And the woodbine will make answer,
"Ah | cannot live alone,
So lean upon the poplar,
And his strength is now my own"

Times Changes.

The more We i've, more brief appear
Our Iife's succeeding stages
Adav to chldhood seems year;
And years, like passing ages.
The eladsome current of our youth,
Ire passion yet disorders,
Steals lingering, like river smooth
Along It's grassy borders.
Ba, as the care-worn cheek grows wan,
And sorrows shafts fly thicker.
!e stars that measure iiie 10 man,
Why seem your courses quicker'
When Joys have lost their bloom and breath
And life itself Is vapid,
Whv, as we reach thr falls of death,
Feel We lis tide more rapid!
L nav be strange; yet who would change
Times course 10 slower speeding!
W3eu one by one our friend, have gone,
And left our bosoms bleeding!
Heaven gives our years Of fading strength
Indrmnifying iieetness;
And those OF youth SEEMING LENGTH,
Proporr ioned 10 their sweetness

/, tbou hast thrown a glorious thought
Toon liie's common ways,
Ssoald other men the gain have caught,
Fret not to lose the praise.
c,sst thinker, often shalt thou find,
While folly plumbers fame,
To thy rich store the crowd is blind,
Nor knoys thy very name.
n thou art true, vet in thee turks
For fame human sigh,
tn Nature 90. and see her works,
That handmaid of the SKY.
Her own deep bounty she forgets,
Is foil Of germ, aud seeds:
y7r sorfes herself, nor sets
Her flowers above her weeds.
She hides the modest leaves between,
She loves untrodden roads;
Her richest treasures are not seen
By any eye but Gods.
Accent the lesson. Look not for
Reward; from out thee chase
AT seld>h ends, and ask no more
Than 10 fulfil thy place.
