The Rotundo.-There is no place in this city
more attractive to strangers than the rotundo o.
the Capitol; the prominent features being the pic
torial works of art which adorn the panels, EN-
bracng the Landing Of Columbus, the Embarcatior
Of the Pilgrims, the Baptism of Pocahoatas, the
Signing of the Declaration of Independence, Rsvo
lutionary Battle Scenes, and Washington resignine
his Military Commission; all of them not only eli
citing admiration, but suggesting profound patriotic
emotions.
But this noble rotundo is not unfrequently cum
bered with objects Inappropriate TO the place; the
use oft being accorded to exhibitors of churnne
machines, bridges, stoves, brick machines, yea.
and.nsy contrivances, railroad tracks and coup
Ings, and such like; and, not long since, some
genius obtained permission TO lay down, tempora-
rily, circular r Jay, over which he propelled a
huge wheel, by means Of what he called ne'r
motive power, but which, 10 our view, was nothing
more than his own leg, industriously employed on
IA treade! NJ
Werecollect too, that horsetamer not long
since, tackled the walls with three-cent pictures,
by way of advertisement, and not unfrequenlly
dau6s, by amateur painters, are set up, here aud
there rs business cards! In fact, the rotundo has
been made showroom for private speculationl
After while, some snodiste may obtain permits
sion to exhibit there the latest bonnet-f fashions
and so Of other trades-people
We do moi express our own views merely on
this subject, but we believe those Of the public al
large, when we say that these things ought not ID
Ibe permitted.
Even now, some genius has erected stilted
platform in the rotundo where, from his perch
covered with cottoh he is engaged in sketching
one Of the pictures; and placard, giving notice.

DEcEPrIoN.-Every hours Experience renders
more apparent the melancholy truth that decep-
ton, in all it's various forms and phases
the innocent deception, which merely amuses, to
the heartless and whitening deceit, which stills
the beating of many warm heart, crushing for
ever the generous fires of mans nature, making
him sccptical as to the existence Of goods rap
idly increasing. We all know, for none can be
blind to the fact, that in the everyday business
of lifc-in buying, in selling, in bartering, in
trading-in fact, in everything where worldly
prosperity and sordid gain are concerned, that
deception is not only the practice, but the study
of mankind. But where interest ceases, one
would think that deception ought. But, no -
The demon OF deceit stays for nothing. There is
nothing so good, so pure, so holy or hallowed,
that it is not contaminated and rendered impure
by this loathsome curse. We find it in the fam
lily circle, in the sacred desk, We find it in coan
1t is bad enough to find it where we expect it {;
but to lind it in what we are taught to regard as
being the embodiment of all that is lovely and
loving, is more than the most depraved can con-
template without shuddering. We would it were
otherwise. yet it is so. Our females are deceit
ful, and with them it is not done for profit, or
gain, but still worse, for amusement. They love
to see the unhappiness they cause, and are never
so happy as when, with ruthless hand they are
breaking the finest chords of the human breast,
chords that always vibrate to the touch of Lore
but if swept by the hand of deceit-break! 1t is
sad picture, but make close and impartial ex-
animation of society, and answer truly-is it
not so? Deceit &c begins with the cradle, and
ends at the frave, " for beyond deaths dark wa
tiers roll the beautiful river Of Truth.-Seiber.
