that they are less adapted to the uses PROMISED
in this plan. Not only must the entire interior
architecture be removed and rebuilt at great
cost. but the space attainable in either wing for
the Library and copyright department would be
wholly inadequate for its permanent accom- mo-
dation. Nor isit easy to see where any site for
new national capitol at all ApprOximating the
present one in commanding elevation, convent
ent location. and extent of view, could be found
within the limits of Washington.
the only remaining alternative that Is per-
WHOLLY DISTINCT BUILDING
for the library and copyright department. The
requisite space for this purpose has already been
secured through the purchase, by act OF Com
gress at the last session, of two squares OF
ground adjoining the Capitol. The central DOR
tlon OF one OF these squares might be devoted to
tons for ct least Q century to come, while the
other could be reserved for the future erection
OF building for the department OF Justice and
enable Congress to employ the whole Of the pre
sent Capitol for the uses Of the national legisla-
ture, which the recent large increase in the
number OF Representatives, and the straitened
accommodations of the committees OF both
Houses, render desirable.
TIE Plan FOR SUCH AN EDIPIcH.
Mr.. Spoford proceeds to say: Gas the first
for the library, may here be permitted to
sketch the brief outline Of plan for such an
edifce, as it lies in my own mind. First Of ali,
library-room, which viii contain 40 600 volumes,
full legislative library tor the use and refer.
ence Of Congress, to embrace not only encyclo-
padias, jurisprudence, and political science, but
one copy Of each OF the leading works in every
oepsItment OF fscience and literature. This
could be done without materially weakening
the library, from the duplicates which are
already contained in the collection. The wings
OF the present library could be ut the same
time devoted to the orderly arrangements Of the
archives, manuscript and printed, OF the Senate
and Houee Of Representatives, by which their
nIe-proof ard numbered shelving renders them
admirably adapted.

About Dogs.

The following essay on dogs, says the
Portsmouth Gazette, was written by q
small New England boy. this summer
As this is the tale of dog, it may be
inferred that every dog has a tail, and
that every tail has dog. have never
seen dogs tail run over two feet, but
the tale OF a dog can be Of any length,
and two feet ALWAYS run under the tail
As every dog has its tail and every tail
its dog, so also has every tail it's wag
and every wag its tale; a dog can wag
bis tail one day out Of two, but a wag can
tell his tale eight days out of a week, max.
ing total difference between the wag Of
q tail and the tale of a wag OF two
DAYS, seven wags and a tail. Mr..
Shakespeare (late OF Eugland) says that
every dog has his day; but it can also
be said that every day has its dog, so
we have day.dogs and dog davs-dog-
DAYS are twepty-four hours long with
out the tail, but day-dogs and watch
dogs run to any length of time if they
are not chained. A Watchdog on lard
is the same as dog-watch on board
ship, but they are entirely different from
doeging mans watch or watching a
mans dog. Ihave often seen star fi-h,
but l never heard ola star dog, although
astronomers do say there is a dog-star,
and that by falling down over dog you
can see stars, but this double vision
does not effect the measurement Of a
dog; he contains just eight feet, two
fore and two hind. There are many
ways 10 which this dogs tail could be
drawn out, but q good healthy dogs
tail should not be over six inches long.

The Bible Corrected.

Robert Dale Owen, in a recent work,
endsavors to strsighten out the Scrip
lures, and correct ideas which have
been entertained by religious men for
the last few centuries. Among other
things, he makes the statement that the
ancient years exactly correspond in
length with our present months, 30 that,
when the Scriptures say that Methuse-
lab was e69 years OF age, he was only
20 % any months, or something more
than eighty years old. Mr. Owen may,
possibly, be correct. but Sill he please
look along little further and explain
the following verse: "Shem was huns
dred years old and begst Arphsxad,"
b. the above standard OF Bible dates
Arphaxad would have been q little
more than eight years old at the time.
