Ibis voice to a still higher pitch, he
sung,

and as before, he concluded be had
got the wrong pitch, and deplorin9
that he had not his 'pitch-tuner,' he
determined to succeed if he died in
the attempt.
By this time all the old ladies were
tittering behind their fans, whilst the
faces of the young uns' were all in
a broad grin. At length, after a
desperate cough, he made final de-
lnonstration, and roared out,

This effort was too much; every
other but the cody and eccentric
parson was laughing, who arose, and
with the utmost GOODNESS said:
Seeing our brothers propensities,
let us pray!'
1t is needless to say that but few
Of that congregation heard the
prayer.

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
IL The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by a resolution Of
that body, Z" to invite plans accompanied by esti-
mates for the extension Of the Capitol, and to al
low a 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 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
mittee reserve 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 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

FINDER this title will be published, during the
u year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens tho have become
lusrious in the service of the country Every por-
ton of the work will receive the most careful aten-
ton, and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men Of the Re
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, IN collecting Portraits tor National Gal
lery, and those which are being engraved for tlhs
work are believed to be superior to any that have
been taken In the Accomplishment. Of this 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 the works ct art glowing with the soul
of the living countenance.
The dra wings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste to be fully
equal and in respects superior to those of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every inn
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The Typography will be exc
cutcd as carefully and in superb style the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by 90 chcs, ade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope ; II
win therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
Of those only admitted, whose talents
and public services have won for them an honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de-
partments OF life will have its representatives Art
and Literature universal in their SPIRIT ard 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 glorious Mon, will respond to ap-
peal for encouragement and aid in commendablc an
undertaking, that its publication may make in
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping TIE
illstrious OF the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America
