latent In our cities, occasionally " may be found

summoned one night to the side ola dying wo:
man. She was in the last agonies, and her re:
cital was broken and unconnected, but this he
gathered:
She had loved an Englishman, she said, as
few could have guessed her capable of loving.
In him her whole affections were bound. She
had discovered early in their acquaintance, that
another younger connexion, had made deep
er impression than herself on romantic and
halfcrazed imagination. The union with this
Englshman had been broken off by his discov.
ering her falsehood with respect to the one he
really adored He went to Venice, married her
rival, and thus deprived her of all hope but that
ofrevenge Yet had she kept up, through an
unsupported channel-a servant-a most Der.
feet acquaintance with every circumstance of
Traford's married life. The wife had written
accurate descriptions of their proceedings
what he liked, what she did to please him; in
fact, all the small details interesting to friend,
such as the Englishman's wife believed she had
in the pentent now confessing her former sins.
The last hours, the last words, of the dying
wife had been faithfully described, and as
faithfully remembered by the deserted wo:
man whom the perfdy of her lover had driven
nearly to distraction. Yet-yet she loved him;
and, after his wife's death, went to Venice, lived
there unseen by him, and sought by every means
to find out if he still mourned the dead as deep
ly as ever. Bymeans that she hardly dared to
confess, she ascertained that his heart was, in
deed, still buried in the grave of Nina. Then
came the hour of revenge.
She went to the theatre, masked; beneath
she wore her own face and head encased in that
of skull In the Opera-house she waylaid
Traford, used the terms of ghastly endearment
that had so Mortified him; and at last, by unveil-
ing, had secured, indeed, the revenge she de-
sired, by making the man she loved raving
maniac for the rest of his days.

THE CONJURER OUT.CONJURED.

The other morning, says the Reveille, we
were thinking of something Internal, when in
walked Signior Bltz, looking US full in the face,

cloud and whisker in which he envelopes his sa.
tanic countenance. We were very good friends,

Signior conjured coin into our pockets, and,
more mysterious still, out of our pockets, when
who should pop in but De Meyer, with his lion
port and kid-like courtesy. Here was another
victim for the arch enemy, and accordingly
Blitz began TO play the devil with the musician,
even as he had done with us. De Meyer stood
it for some time, in high admiration, when he
exclaimed:
"Fell ham surprise at noting else peside!
Now, Monsieur Pleetz, fill show some hombogs
too" He forthwith tore small strip from the
margin Of a newspaper, which, again, he divided
into six very small pieces, and spread them on
the palm Of his hand.
"Now, Monsieur Pleetz, vas desire to know
if you can give Won pouf (puD wis you mout,
and blow away all disc leetle beets, except Won
dat shall show YOU"
The magician studied the problem closely,
but to puff away, at breath. five Of the pieces,
without stirring the sixth, was enough to puzzle
the devil himself, and so his disciple gave up.

the matter.

"Now, den, vat piece shall keep on my hand

Blitz pointed out the very centre piece.
"Oh, dat is him; goot! Now, regardez"
The impromptu conjurer deliberately laid his
pencil point upon the bit of paper designated )

pieces left his hand in a hurry!
There was great laugh at the expense Of
Blitz; he, however, Immediately got rid Of the

sharpness.
"Out," responded snippe, with a heart-bro-
ken expression, like an afflicted mouse.
"Out, indeed where's out, I'd like to know!

THE TINE TO DIE.

LIE LIME ~ LIE.
Oh! would die while youth and hope
Are glittering on my brow,
And smiles of gentle ecstasie,
Like those cen beaming now;
l would not wait till darkling cares
Had shed their SHOWS around;
And not one flower Of youthful hope
Upon the heart be found;
would not wait till life had prov'd
That friendship s but name,
And lcfi but ashes OH the heart
Where once there burned flame.
Iwould not stay where flowers fade
Where howls the winters wind,-
But would seek fairer land,
And leave them all behind;-
Where gentler hopes and sweeter songs,
And flowers of fragrant breath,
And hopes like sunlight OIL the soul,
Know nought of grief or death.

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
H. The Committee on Public Buildings Of the
Senate, having been authorized by resolution OF
that body, d" to invite plans accompanied by esti-
mates for the extension of the Capitol, and to al
low premium Of five hundred dollars for the
plan which may be adopted by the Committees on
Public Buildings of the two Houses Of Congress,
accordingly invite such plans and estimates, to be
delivered to the Secretary Of the Senate on or be-
fore the first day Of December next.
1t is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension of the Capitol,
either by additional wings, to be placed on the
north and south of the present building, or by the
erection Of separate and distinct building, within
the enclosure to the east of the building.
The committee do not desire to prescribe any
condition, that may restrain the free exercise of
architectural taste and judgment, but they would
prefer, that whatever plan may be proposed may
have such reference TO and correspondence with
the present building as to preserve the general
symmetry Of the entire structure, when complete.
Although but one plan can be adopted, the COM
mttee reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts OF different plans
submitted, should such course be found neeessary in
which event, the committee also reserve to them
selves the right to divide or apportion, according
to their own Judgment, the amount Of premium to
be awarded for the whole, to those whose plans
may in part be adopted, according to the relative
importance and merit Of each part adopted. n 4

TTNDER this title will be published, during the
- year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become

Mr. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lery, and those which are being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
ever been taken In the accomplishment Of TINS great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
Recommendation. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
Of the living countenance. ,&@ &.4
The drawings and engravings Of D,Avignon have
been pronounced BY Europeans Of taste to be fully
equal and in some respects superior to those Of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
cued carefully and in superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, 16 by 23 inches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional In Its scope; il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
names of those men only are admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them an honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each OF the great de.
partments Of life wl have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring

achievements and fame constitute the chief glory of
the nation. We hope that every lover Of Art, and
friend of our glorious Union, will respond to ap
peal for encouragement and aid in commendable
undertaking, that its publication may make in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
llnstrious OF the Union together consolidate it
still more firmly.
As no work of this kind has appeared In America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach Of most Of citizens, the publish
crs have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
