ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
IL The Committee on Public Buildings Of the
Senate, having been authorized by a resolution Of
that body, " 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, d"
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 il required that these plans and estimates
! shall provide for the extension Of the Capitol,
either by additional wings, to be placed on the

erection of a separate and distinct building, within

J The committee do not desire to prescribe any

prefer, that whatever plan may be proposed may

THE PERTLs OF FALsEHOOD.

THE PERILS OF FALSEHOOD.
In the beautiful language of an eminent Wi
ter, ,"w when once concealment or deceit has
been practsed in matters where all should be
fair and open as the day-confdence can never
be restored any more than you can restore the
white bloom to the grape or plum, which you
have once pressed in your hand"
How true is this-and what a neglected truth
by the great portion of mankind. Falsehood is
not only one of the most humiliating vices, but
sooner or later il Is most certain to lead to many
serious crimes. With partners in trade-with
frends-with lovers-how important is conf,
dence. How essential that all guile and hy-
pocracy should be guarded against in the inter
course between such parties? How much mis-
cry would be avoided in the history of many
lives, had truth and sincerity been guiding and
controlling motives, instead of plevarcations
and deceit.
"Any vice. said parent in our hearing a
few days since" -"any vice, at least, among the
fraities Of a mlder nature, but ialsehood. Far
better that my child should commit an error or
do wrong and confess it, thau escape the pen
atty, however severe, by falsehood and hypocra-
ct. Let me know the worst, and remedy may
possibly be applied. But keep me in the dark
let me be miscd or deceived it is i'm
possible 10 tell at what unprepared hour a.
crushing blow--an overwhelming exposure may
come"

REVOLUTIONARY ANEC-
DOTE.

A story is told ol Sergeant who tr0Ve'.ea
,brouob the woods OF New Hampshire, on his
w,v to the American Army, which will show the
character of the Indians
He had twelve men with him. Their route was
far from apy settlement; and they were Obliged
every nipbt to camp in the woods. The Sergeant
had seen good deal of the Indians and under
stood them we'll. Early in the afternoon, one day,
nc thew were marching on, over bogs, swamPS'
and brooks, under the great maple trees, a oody
of Indians, more then their own Numbers, rushed
ont upon a hill in front of them
They appeared to be pleased at meeting with
the sergeant and his men. They considered
thon their best friends. For themselves, they
hod ,okon m the Ratchet for the Americans and
would scalp and strip these rascalIy English Tor
them like SO many wild cats. SHOW do you do'
Oro :" lmeaning brother,) said one and How
do YOU do 2, continued another; and so they
went about shaking hands with the sergeant and
his twelve men
They went off at last and the sergeant, hav.
;no marched on mile or two, halted his men,
and addressed them thus. my brave fellows
we must use all possible caution, or before NOR
ming We shall all of us be dead men. You are
smazed but depend upon me, these Indians have

ORIGIN OF THE HONEY
DEW.

Let any man who takes delight in the works
and scenery Of Nature, keepa watchfnl eye
over peculiar tender buds, in the woods and The
garden. and he will soon find out, from observa-
tions from whence comes this dew; (some tlllnf
from heoveny and he will soon discover that i
is from gregarious insects, which are almos
stationary during the day, and move Or migrate
late in the evening or at highland on leaving
the saccharine bud they drop their honey, eth
er to tighten their load, or, perhaps, for the more
noble purpose of feeding others. The honey is
only discernabIe after the dew OF heaven has
fallen during the night.

CALIFORNIA.

A Monterey correspondent of the Boston
Traveller, alluding to some Of the extravagunt
stories with regard to fortune made in the gold
region says:
But one always wishes to know from whom
these reports origlnate--by whom they are
brought-and at what points they are principal
" in circulation. There are not a few mana.
gers cards published in this county. The store
keepers and traders figure behind the SCENES
They have all the news-they can tell you larg-
er stories than any of the diggers. They are
in the very heart of the placers always. Team,
sters, runners, hangers-on, are hired to tell OF
every instance of good fortune in the vicinity of
their store, with several fictions made up to set
it off we'll. Wherever heavy stocks of gools
have accumulated in the mining districts, and
prices have begun to fall, there you may be sure
of hearing soon of great success, large Jumps,
sudden fortunes, crouds rushing in, and all that
sort Of trumpery.
