HISarticle has been thoroughly tested by
builders, Architects, and Others, and the
experience of‘years has proved it to be the
cheapest and most durable roofiutr in' use.
We call attention to the followmg facts :
1st—It is fire and water proof.
2d——'From its great elasticity it is not inju-
riously affected by extremes of heat and cold.
3d—It is adapted to all kinds of Roofs,
whether steep or flat, and is not in want of
constant repairs, as is the case with metal and
other roofs. ' .
4th—1The mat is only about’One‘Half that
of Tin, and it- is twice as durable.
It is freadily, applied to Old Shingle Roofs,
without removing the . shingles, which is a
great desideratum to parties who do not wish
to riskghaviug their ceilings and furniture .ru-
ined,'while repairs are being made.
Leaky Tin and Metal Roofs are readily re-
paired; with Gutta Percha - Cement, and
prevented from further corrosion and leaking
thereby insuring a‘perfectl'y water-tight roo
for many years. - p -

Sparkling in the valcs,
Softly sipping the nectar

Though tiny things ye seem.

And her head fell on my neck, and she wept
For the little boy that died. .;

' It may be funny, but I'have done it. I‘v,
got a rib-and a baby. Shadows departed .
oyster stews, brindy cocktails, cigar boxes,
boot jacks, absconding shirt buttons, whist
stand that and Igave her as » go'od «as y'sh’e
seat. It has the first time I ever got a mate
sorry to disturb you, but won’t yoir “see me
and had another Smack at the gals, to‘o. ‘ Af-
ter that, we took kinder a turtle (loving after
each Other, both of us sighing like a barrel
of new cider when we were away fi'om each
other.
’Twas at the close of a glorious summer
day—the sun was setting behind a distant.
hog pen—the chickens were going to roost,
the bullsfrogs were commencing their evening
songs-hthc pouywdgs, in their native mud
puddles, were'prep'aring themselves for the
shades of night—and Sal and myself satupon
an antiquated backlog, listening to the Inn-
sic of nature, such as tree-toads, rOosters and
granting pigs, and then the mellow music of
a distant jackass was waited to our ears by
the gentle zephyrs that sighed among the
mullen stalks, and came heavy laden with
the delicious odor of hen roosts and pig styes.
The list lingering rays of the setting sun,
glanch'rg fifonr'the brass buttons of a solitary
an‘f's' 'one through 'a knot hole in the
. hog pen full in Sal’s face, dying her hair an
orange peel hue, and showing off my thread
bare cunt to bad advantage—one of my arms
was around Sal’s waist, my hand resting on
. the small of her back—she was toying with
my auburn locks of jet black hue—she was
almost gone, and I‘ was ditto. She locked
like a grashopper dying with the hiccups,
and I felt like a mud turtle choked with cod-
fish ball. '
“ Sal,” said I,.in a voice musical as the
notes ofa dying swan, “will you have me ?”
She turned her eyes heavenward, clasped me
by the hand, had an attack of the heaves and
blind staggers, and with a sigh that drew her
shoe strings to her palate, said “ Yes!”
I hugged .her till I broke my suspenders,
and her breath smelt of onions which she
ate the] week before. ‘
Well, to make along story short, she set
the day, and we practiced for four weeks ev-
ery night how we would walk into the room
to be married, till we got so we could walk as
graceful as a couple of Muscovie ducks." The
night, the company, and the minister came,
the signal was given, and arm in arm we
marched through the crowded hall. We
were just entering the parlor door, when,
down I went kerslap on the oil cloth, pulling
Sal after me. Some cussed fellow had drop-
peda banana skin on the floor and it floored
me. It split an awful hole in my cassimeres
right under my dress coat tail. It was too
we were marched in and spliced, and taking
a seat I watched the kissing the bride opera-
tion. My groomsman' was tight, and he
kissed her till I jumped up to take a slice,
when, oh, horror! alittle six year old imp
had crawled behind me, and pulling my shirt
through thehole in my pa’nts had pinned; it
tothe chair; and injumping up I displayed
to the admiring gaze of the astonished mul-
titude a trifle more white muslin than was
pleasant. The women giggled, the men
roared, land I got mad, but was finally put to
bed, and there all my troubles ended. Good

with the shakes every time I saw .a pretty
gal approaching me, and I’de cross the street
any time rather than face one; ’twan’t be-
cause I didn’t like the’crittcrs, for ifI was
behind a fence leaking through a knot hole,
I couldn’t look at one long enough. Well,
my sister Lib gave a party one night, and I
strayed away from. home because I ‘was too
bashful to face the music. I hung around
thqhousc whistling “ Old Dan Tucker,” dan.~
cing‘to keep my feet warm, watching the
heads bobbing up and down behind the win-
dow curtains, and wishing the thundering
party would break up so I could get to my
room. I smoked up a bunch of cigars, and
ash was getting late and mighty uncomfor-
No Sooner said than done, and I soon found
myself snug in bed. “Now,” says I, “let her
rip! Dance tillyour wind gives an .” And
cuddling under the quilts, Morpheus grabbed
me. ' I was dreaming of soft shell crabs and
stewed tripe and was having a good time
‘when somebody knocked at the door and
woke me up. “ p” again. I laid low.—
“Rap, rap, rap 1” Then I heard a whisper-
ing and I knew there was a whole raft of
girls outside. “Rap, rap 1” Then Lib sings
out, “Jack, are you in there i" “Yes,”- says
I. “Let us in,” says she. “I won’t,” says I,
“can’t you let a fellow alone.” “ Are you
a-bed ?” says she. “I am.” says I. fiGct
up !” says she. “I won’t,” says I. Then
came another laugh. By thunder! I began
to get riled. “Get out, you petticoated scare-
crows ?" I cried ; “can’t you get a bean with-
out hauling a fellow out of bed? I won’t
go home with you—I won’t—so you may
clear out i” And, throwing a boot-at the
door, I felt better. .
But presently, oh ! mortal buttons ! I heard
a still, small voice, very much like sister Lib's
and it said: “Jack you’ll have to get up, for
'all'the girl’s things are in there l” Oh Lord,
whata pickle. Think ofnle in bed, all cov-
ered with shawls, muffs, bonnets and cloaks,
and twenty girls outside the door Waiting to
get in. If Iliad stopped to think I should
have pancaked 'on the spot. As it was .1
rolled out among the bonnet wires and’ribr
bans in a hurry. “Smash!” went the.- mini--
nery in every direction. Ihad to dress-in
the dark—and the way I fumbled about} ‘
The crit-s
was death on straw hats. ,
ical moment came. I opened the door
and found myself right among the women,—
“Oh my Leghorn P" 1cries one. “My. dear,
darling winter velvet !” cries another, and
they pitched in—they pulled me this way
