The National Library.

! The Congressional Library is now an in
\ teresting institution TO Hoosier, as the Lii
: brarian. Colonel J. G. Stephenson is a Hoo
sier, formerly of Terre Hsute, and the prin-
cipal assistant is Mr.. Spafford. formerly ol
the Cincinnati Commercial, who was made
by nature for Librarian. Mr.. Stephenson
has completely broken up the sold fogy
crust which had hardened and thickened
over the Library, during the twenty OF thir.
ty years Of the administration Of his prede-
cessor. 1t is a moving thing now, with a
spirit and aim which IN very few years
will make it the best library in the nation.
/ He has selected his assistants with mer-
CHESS disregard of all considerations but
fitness, and has thus obtained the means to
add to the Library greatly while admins
tering i. satisfactorily. Mr.. Spsfford. who
knows the size, dress and contents of more
books than any twenty of the usual class of
erudite men, Is always watching Tor avsIla-
BILE purchases in Europe and at home. and
has already secured several, of which there
are but one or two duplicates st all on this
side Of the Atlantic.-The Library contains
now S2,S75 volumes, exclusive of dupli-
Gates, public documents, and every thing but
those works which are usually meant in
speaking Of library. and the Law Library
contains over IS 900 volumes, arranged as
conveniently as the confined quarters assign
ed them in the bniIding will admit, IN a num-
ber Of small rooms and passages adj AGENT
to the main hall of the library, but no ar
ranyement can show them to advantage
without light and more convenient space.
In tue main hall, which was once thought
ample for all the books Congress would ev
er use or need, the stalls recesses, about
ten or twelve feet square. decorated with
bronze columns, and ranged above each 9th
er in the three stories or galleries. present a
very handsome appearance, and there is
an abundance of light in them. but there is
a suggestion of want of room. of confine-
ment, about the books up on the h-ads Of
columns. and round on the fl ,ors and rail.
nys. which detrsc,s from proper eff ct. Mr..
Stephenson is working his way rapidly
as possihl to complete and convenient ar
rangement of all The unplaced books, and a
general re arrangement and enlargement Of
the Library, and when he succeed>, as he
surely will, there will be few better in any
country.

SYMPTOMS OF SASrTY.--From one of sew.

ment finances, which the Cincinanti Enquirer
administers for the consolation Of the Demo
cratic mind in adversary, we exact the fol-
lowing sensible proposition:
The issue of Government paper, il Jus.
tifiable at all. is only SO upon the ground
of its necessity as a temporary measure,
not upon THAI of its usefulness as q per-
manent financial arrangement.
This. no one will dispute; and while the
country submits to the necessity. let it re-
member The responsibility of the party
whose betrayal Of the Government, and
whose rebellion, forced this financial ne.
cessity upon the country. 1. is we'll that
the Democratic party should keep the bur.
dens and the destruction and slaughter of
their war continually before the people,
that they may not in the lapse Of time, or

be unmindful Of the crime of the party
which eonspired and made the rebellion,
and betrayed the Government into its
hands. The continual recspitulation of
these consequences of its crimes. is the
miserere of the Democratic party. and,

Delicious Sorrow.

There is a mysterious feeling that fire.
quenty passes like cloud over the spirits.
1t comes upon the soul in the busy hustle
of life, IN the social circle, in the calm and
silent retreat of solitude. It's powers are
alike supreme over the weak and the iron
hearted. AT one time it is caused by the
fitting of a single thought across the mind.
Again the sound will come booming across
the ocean of memory. gloomy aud solemn
as the h-knel, overshadowing all she
bright hopes and sunny feelings Of the
heart Who can describe, aud yet who has
not felt its bewildering influence? Still, it
is delicious sorrow; and like a cloud dim
ming the sunshine of the river. although
causing momentsry shade Of gloom, it
the beauty of returning brightness.
