TO LIBBIE.
by ALMENA c. SAUNDERS.

Three long Summers flushed and faded
In the girdle of the year,
Since our parting, Cousin Libbie,
When the rose of Spring was near.
Thou vert in thy youthful twilight
Deeper meanings in the eye,
Than when Ger it childhood's glances,
Light and shade alternate fly
And thy football, yet two fawn-like
For the woman S stately tread,
For but fourteen shining circles,
Had the God Of seasons sped,
Since thy heart had joined the chorus
One more note heard in the song
OF the swelling tide of nations,
Palpitating Life's great song.
Time had wrought his potent changes,
Libbie. in those three long years,
And intensified the shadows
OF our undeveloped spheres.
We had both learned many pages
From the text Book of old Time:
Rigid, brain -perplexing problems,
Gushes of melodious rhyme.
Thou vert changed new vibration
Thrilled its music in thy voice:
And thy laugh told that it ripplcd
Ger the pearls of girlish joys,
How l loved thee, as the beauties
OF thy spirits casket, rare,
Burst upon me, as rich perfume
Throws its incense in the air.
How felt thine own thoughts Ginning
To the measure of my own
Knew, within the world OF feeling,
That | wandered not alone
How my heart recalls thee, Libbie;
How it fingers o er the hours.
When in bright, enchanted dream land,
Twincd in fancy fragrant flowers.
Thoughts of thee shall come to cheer m,
Islands in the SEA Of life,
From whose foliage, mem rvs piuion
Shall return with odors rife.
Though long space is intervening,
And l know thou art not near,
Still loves cable joins our spirits;
Still feel thy blending sphere.

Physicians generally 10th to speak word in praise
of what called patent medbhes" Indeed it an ar
cle in the code of medical ethics that physician who
sanctions the of such remedies cannot be considered
member of the National Association. But there are ex-
cepons the stringent rules, and many of the disci
pies OF Escuapus have actually been compelled, by the
force of facts, to recommend the of Dr. j. Hos
tcItcr's Stomach Bicrs, for those diseases which are
particularly prevalent during the summer and fall. They
have ascertaned that there remedies in the phar
acopia which compare with this wonderful compound
arrangement of the system. Thousands of families
siding along the low grounds Of the Western and Southern
rivers, are convinced that they have found medicine
peculiarly adapted for their ailments, while in other por
of the country during the summer months the de-
mand for the article is equally large.

NEW Iohhs huSuop -c'
The Fifth Avenue Hotel, the largest establish
ment Of the kind in the country, was opened to
day under the proprietorship of Paran Stevens,
Esq. The house was thronged all day with visi-
tors who testified their admiration of the thor
ough and systematic arrangement of the build
ing in all its parts.
The American Telegraph Company have an Of
fee in the basement Of the hotel, connecting it
by wires to all parts of the country as well as
with the other prominent hotels of the city
One of the most novel features of the house is
the vertical railway for the conveyance Of the
guests from the ground to the upper floor. The
American Telegraph Company have obtained per-
mission from the Secretary of War to open a
marine telegraph station at Fort Lafayette in the
Narrows, and will proceed Immediately to lay
cable from that point to Fort Hamilton. 1t will
connect with the Brooklyn line, which stretches
to New York. The line will give the company
unequalled facilities for reporting marine news
night and day, as it will also connect with the
line already constructed from Sandy Hook.

The IMPROVEMENTS IN THE HOUSE OF REPRE-
sFNTATIvEs.-Workmen have been engaged for
some time in arranging the floor of the new Hall
OF Representatives, under the order of the last
session and removing the desks. The work is
nearly finished. The sofas, which are to take
the place Of the chairs, have not been placed as
vet in their positions. The rows of seats rise
above each other on the same elevation as before,
but the space is circumscribed nearly one-half,
and the members will be seated much more com
fortably and conveniently for the transaction of
business. The vacant spaces to the right and
left Of the Speakers chair, occasioned by the
new arrangement, will be occupied with large
writing tables, and all the necessary appliances
There was no such provision as this in the reso-
luton making the change, yet it is assumed as
highly necessary.
These alterations are necessary to carry out
the experiment, and are of such character az
to insure a trial for the whole of the next SEES

Prof Dimitry, Minister to Central America.
The appointment of a truly Southern man to this
important mission, seems to give universal satisac
ton in The South especially to the admirers Of this
gentleman, who is considered one of the rpest scho
ars in the country Although he has never been We
ry prominent in politics. he has long been in contact
with most of our high functionaries, and is not by
any means ont of place in the appointment given
him by the President. When say that it is truly
Cratifyin that Southern man has been appointed,
we do not intend to reflect upon Gen. Lamar, who has
been recalled from Nicaragua ; for we consider him
s devoted to the best interests Of the South as any
one living but that tho field should continue to b
occupied by zen Of purely Southern feelings should
be source Of JOY toevery one. Prof Dimitry is 9
Catholic, speaks Spanish Auently, is advocate Of
States Rights, and says tho Charleston Mercury
"is therefore an unexceptionable and safe man al
this particular juncture.'' Whatever may be the
views and designs Of Gen. Walker in regard to an
other descent upon Nicaragua, we need apprehend
no trouble while such ,Dimitry represent.
