and other moneyed strangers. The poor,
painted BUTTERFLIES, whom misery has marked
for her own, bat suffers to Autter for q
brief season in the sunshine, are out every
day on the avenue, and frequently some Of
their number, modestly clad, clude the vigi-
lance of the congressional door-kespers and
find their way into the galleries Of the House
and Senate.
The horde Of disappointed men, who
moped about the Capitol for q brief period
With downcast looks or envious glances at
their more fortunate competitors, have
incontinently left. The Douglas men are
growing more and more confident of victory
at Charleston, while ths anti. Douglas
Democrats are working hard to defeat him,
without yet settling down decidedly upon
any man to pit against him. Many men
here believe that Mr.. Buchanan will be q
candidate for denomination, notwrthstsnd-
ing his repeated assurances to the contrary.
Slidell wants the. nomination, but has no
show at all. Jo. Lane is Douglas most
formidable competitor. You have read
before this, Of the outrage on Mr.. Hickman
by the chivalrous Edmundson Of Virginia.
It was most rufdanly and cowardly attack;
but Edmundson, big as he is, would proba-
bly, have repented on the spot had'they not
been separated by the spectators, for Hick-
man is an active, wiry man, and although
in ill-health would have been an ugly COM
blatant in rough and tumble 6ght.-I
Whether Virginia will settle q pension upon
Edmundson, remains to be seen. Have
those Council Bluffs ladies who swindled
Mrs. Dick Hardin out of fifty cents apiece,
been arrested YETI Having often par
taken Of Mrs. Hardiu's hospitality, could
testify in case we're called on as witness
in the case, that the said ladies certainly had
value received. W. II. X.

yesterday, and to-day, the sun is shining
brightly, making the crossings too muddy
for the foot Of lady fair or patent leathersd'

IL delightful, the broad Potomac is free
from ice, the wofkmen on the Capitol are
hammering away in the open air without
stopping. to warm their fingers, and little.
bare footed urchins trot along the tagging
in front Of the hotels in comparative com
fort, and occasionally q dashing private
squipage rolls, along the, Avenue. The
national fag is floating proudly over the
Legislative halls, and even the echoes Of

died away for the present. Washington is
quiet and the Union is safe! Blackisgs are

THE TIME FOR PRAYER.

When is the time for prayerl
With the hrst beams that light the morning sky,
Ere for the tolls Of day thou dost prepare,
Lin up thy thoughts on high
Comm. nd thy loved ones to His Watchful care!
Morn is the time for prayer
And in the noontide hour,
II worn Ky toll or sad cares oppressed;
Then unto God thy spirits sorr1w pour,
And He will give thee rest
Thy voice shall reach Him throgg g the fields of air.
Noon is the time for prayerI
When the bri ght sun hath sci, -
Whilst ewes bright colors deck the skies -
When with the loved at home, az lin thou st Met,
Then let thy prayer arise
For those who in thy joys and sorrows share
Eve Is The tine for prayer
And when the stars come forth, -
When to the trusting heart sweet hopes given,
And the deep stiffness gives birth
To the pure dreams Of Heaven
Kneel to thy God-ask strength life's ills TO bear :
Night is the time for prayer!
when is the time for player!
In every hour. while life is spared to thee
In crowds soltude-in joy or
Thy thoughts should heavenwaNd flee
At home-at morn and eve-with loved ones there,
Bend thou the knee in prayer!
