uBy biographical sketch Of the
Hon. Alexander H, Buel, late member
Of Congress from Michigan, in the De-
cember number of the Democratic Re-

born in Poultney, Vt, in 1918, and res
moved to Detroit in 1884; in 1887, he
was elected Representative to the Le-
gis]ature of Michigan In ls47, he was
chosen Speaker Of the House, and during
the following year was elected to Cons
gress.

The Ending and Beginning Year.
BY ALFR ED rENNYsoN.

Ring out, wild bells, TO The wild sky,
The flying clouds, the frosty ligAt;
The Year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old. ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow;
The Year is going, let him go,
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the griefthat saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feuds Of rich and poor,
Ring in redress TO all Mankind.
Ring out a slowly dying cause.
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes Of lite,
With sweeter,manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faithless GOODNESS OF the times;
Ring out, ring Out my mournful Rhymes
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic Islander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love Of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease,
Ring out the narrow lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars Of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand:
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
Il The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by a resolution of
that body, I" to invite plans accompanied by est-
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 rs to preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete
Although but one plan can be adopted, the COM
mittee reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts of different plans
submitted, should such be found necessary; in
which event. the committee also reserve to them
selves the right to divide or apporton, 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

A GREAT NATIONAL WORK
THE GALLERY OF TLLUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS
Daguerreotypes by Brady---Engraved by
D'Avignon.
EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN,
FINDER this title will be published, during the
~ year 1850, twenty-four Portraits and Biographi
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
lustrous in the service OF the country. Every por
ton oil the work will receive the most careful atten
ton, and nothing will be spared to render il worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men Of the Re
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at grca,
expense, IN collecting Portraits tor National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
been taken. In the accomplishment. Of this grca,
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 dagucrrcotypcs are in tho
highest the works OF art, glowing with the soul
of the living conntcnance.
The drawings and cngravings OF D'Avigpon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste 10 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 inn
mediate supervision. The Typography will be exc
cutcd as carefully and in as superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will BE- on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % riches, nadc
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 admitted whose talents
and public services have for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de-
partments of life will have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
umcnt to the great men OF the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory OF
the nation. We hope that every iover Of Art, and
friend OF glorious Union, will respond to ap-
peal for encouragement and aid in so comsnendablc an
undertaking. that its publication may make era in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
ilnstious OF the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
As no work az this kind has appeared in America
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach OF most OF our citizens the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,

BLACKWOOD,S MAGAZINE
AND THE
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS
Premiums to Now Subscribers.

OWING to the late revolutions and counter-revo-
" buttons among the nations Of Europe, which have
followed each other in quick succession and of which
the end is not yet" the leading periodicals Of Great
Britain have become invested with degree OF inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground bstwecn the hasty, dsjoned and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, and the elabo
rate and ponderous eatses to be furnished by the his
torian at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they arc offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
AND
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals contained he views, mode
rately, though clearly and firmly expressed, Of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing and RAJ
dical--e Blackwood y and the &C London Quarterly y
are Tory the Edinburgh Review" Wing and
the 4" Westminster Review D Liberal. The &c North
British Review owes its establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland, and is not
ultra in its views on any one o! the grand depart
mcnts Of human knowledge; il was originally edited
by DIR. Chalmers, and now, since his death, is con-
Quoted by his son-in-Iaw DIR. Hanna associated with
very highest order. The "W cstminster," though
reprinted under that title only, is published in Eng
land under the title OF the Foreign Quarterly and
Westminster y it being in fact union of the two
Reviews formerly published and reprinted under scpa-
rate titles 1t has therefore the advantage by this
combination of uniting in work the best features
of both as heretofore issued.
