The Rose among Thorns.

A pious man was one day pacing sorowfully
up and down his garden, and doubling the care
of Providence. At length he stood before a
rose-bush, and the spirit of the rose spoke to him
thus:-
"Do not animate beautiful plant; cup
of thanksgiving full of fragrance to the Lord, in
the name of all flowers, and an offspring ofsweet-
est incense to Him? And where do you find
me? Among thorns! But they do not sting
me they pr otect and give me sap. This, thine
enemies do for thee; and should not thy spirit
be firmer than that Of frail flower?
Strengthened, the man went thence. His sou
became cup of thanksgiving to his enemies.

ENLARGENENT OF THE CAPITOL

ENLARGENENT 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 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 aud 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 Cepitol,
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
condiuon. 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 10 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
10 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
! importnnc. and merit OF each part adopted.

PUBLIsHED IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.,
.dt the lo,o price Of ONE DOLLAR per annun,
I s the cheapest weekly newspaper south Of the
i Potomac, and as cheap any in the Union.
This paper is made up chiefly from the Daily
Dispatch, consisting of the entertaining and
news matter Of that sheet, and carefully selected
light literature and poetry.
HUGH r. PLEAsANTs, Principal Editor.
II is designed to make it equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern-its conductors
Virginans, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement Of their fellow-citiz ems.
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprze, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice, they are Southern men. Their
defence Of Southern rights is defence Of them
selves and all they hold dear;---thnt it has been
warm unremiting, and as far as their capacity al
lowed vigorous, no man who has read their sh eet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
so is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been instilled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least,
know it to be impossible.

cal Sketches of American citizens W no have become
illusrious the service of the country Every por-
hon 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, n 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 great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men MIR. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes in the
highest sense the works OF 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 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 he exc

The finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % riches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in ITS scope il

names of those men only admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throug hou' 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
ument to the great men Of the Republic whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory OF
the nation. We hope that every lover of Art, and
friend of glorious Union, will respond to ap-
peal for encouragement and aid in commendsble
undertaking, that lis publication may make
he progress Of American Art, and by grouping the
illustrious of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
As no work Of this kind has appeared in Amenca,
