- CEMENT ROOFING.
THIS article has been thoroughly tested by
ébuilders, Architects, and others, and the
experience ot‘years has proved it to be the
cheapest and most durable roofing m use.
We call attention to the following facts :
ISL—It is fire and water proof.
2d—From its great elasticity it is not inju-
riou'sly affected by extremes of heat and cold.
3d—It is adapted to all kinds Of Roofs,
whether steep orflat, and is not in want of
constant repairs, as is the case with metal and
other roofs.
4tli——Thc cost is only about One—Half that -
Of Tin, and it is twice as durable. .
Itis readily applied to Old Shingle Roofs,
without removing the shingles, which is a
great desidcratum to parties who do not wish
to risk having their ceilings and furniture ru-
ined; while repairs are being made. '
. Leaky Tin and Metal Roofs are readily rc-
paired with Gutta' Percha ‘ Cement, and
prevented from fm‘thcr corrosion and leaking
thereby insuring a‘ perfectly water—tight roof
for many years. ’ _ _ .
Specimens of the Roofing can'be seenby

He’d lots of gold,

Which he had in some sly place roll’d

Sohi-pak-nccr— \i
As you shall hcar— 5'
Had a daughter fair, 5
Of beauty rare, 5»;
With almond eyes and raven hair— - ?
Graceful and tall, '3,
With hands so small— F
With beautiful waist, and foot, and all. 3:
Full many a lover fain would woo l
The virtuous and fair Kiboo. Q
But strange to Say,
She said nay,
With jest and jeer, 'shc tnrn’d away. 5
A score or so of beans: each day; 3
To her old Sohi oil: would say :— l
“Kiboo, why do you act this way i— ' ‘7
You should Wed the tall Length:—
The short Chi~nk—the stout Peek!—
The marcid Honk—or fat Quimbi,”
And thcn to him she would reply :
' “Longtie is too lofty, by far— i
‘ And Chi-uh smells as strong as tar— 1
Stout Peeki, he is much too mean-
E And marcid Honk is far too lean." I
The rich and poor, the stout and tall——
1 Kiboo, she made game of them all,—
Of all that came,
1 Kiboo made game,
= And moCkcd at each lover the same—
l‘he young and lithe, the old and lame.
Sohi-pak-necr—her father old—
Spent all his time in hoarding gold,
And did not see.
Her vestal glee,
As she made free
,‘0 dismiss all whf’bent their knec.
‘ Kihoo so vfair,
or beauty rare—
With almond eyes and raven hair,
And dainty feet and) tiny hands,
.And form as lithe as willow wands,—
This gay coqnette, '
Old Sohi’s pct,
As luck would have it one day met
A lover that made her forget
Her cv’ry wile, .
And all her guile,
To hear his voice and see his smile—
Diovc ev'ry art from her the while :
lungpi was a comely youth—,
alikely chap he was in sooth ;
‘ith complexion of dirty'brown,
And head shaven from car to crown :
One glance from Wlungpi so fat,
Made Kiboo’s heart beat pit-a-pnt—
A squint from Kiboo‘s almond eye,
'From Wlimgpi,
Would bring a sigh,
Like the wind among the hemlocks high : .
Ouc stilly night as the moon rose,
In a sylvan bower he did propose ;
Kib‘oo laugh‘d and simper’d sweet,
And beat the ground with her small feet;
At last as any one might guess-—
With blushing face, she answer’d “yes."
In a few days the twain were wed,
And Wlungpi was false—tie said ;
For one fine day,
He ran away
With all her father's gold, they say,
And left Kiboo to groan and sigh;
With salt tears in her almond eye.
Yes, little Kiboo from this hour,
Piued away like an autumn flower,—
Deserted by the tall Longtie—
Descrted by the fat Quimbl—
And marcid Honk, and stout Peeki,
- Pass’d with snecring lip and eye,
And scoff’d at her misery.
At last when driven to despair,
And bending ’neath a load ofcarc—
She jumped into a darks'omc well,
And down to the bottom she fell,
Sohi-pak—necr
Mourns much, I hcar—
At the loss of his gold so dear ;
And feeling uncommonly blue,
He went and bought a pound or two
-0f arsenic, and gulp’d it down.
‘ Which left him dead as is “John Brown,"
Then all the druggists straight did pounce
. 0n him, and sold him by the ounce,
'l‘o poison bed-bugs, mice, and rats,
And rabid dogs, and vicious cats.

NOT Ban—The appended negro story, cop-
led from a Southern correspondent of the
Boston Journal, is not bad:
General C gave his black man, Swan-
ny, funds and permission to get a quarter’s
worth of zoology at a menagcrie, at the same
time hinting to him the striking affinity be-
tween the Simia and ne ro races. Our sable
friend soon found himsc f under the canvass,
and brought to in front of a sedate looking
baboon,and eyeing the biped quadruped close-
ly he soliloquised thus: “ Folks—sure’s yer
born, fect, hands, proper bad looking counte-
nance, just like nigger gettin? old, I reckon.”
Then, as if seized witha bright idea, he ex-
tended his hand, with a genuine Southern
“How dy’e do, uncle !”. The ape clasped the
negro’s hand, and shook it long and cordial-
,ly. Swanney then plied his new acquain-
tance with interrogations as to his name, age,
nativity and fomier occupations, but eliciting
no replies beyond a knowing shake of the
head, ora merry twinklingof the eye, (the
ape was‘probab
tweaking the darkey's nose, he concluded that
the ape was bound to keep non-committal,
and looking cautiously around chuckled out
“ He, lic,- e too sharp for them, old feller.—
Keep (lat —if ye’ll just speak one word of
. Englisli,-white man would have a hoe in yer
hand in less thantwo minutes."

- W A number of papers, DemOcratic' in
politics,but which have heretofore been con-
sidered otherwise respectable. have given cir-
culation to the following untrutli, '
“The Springfield Republican, which has
probably more influence in the party than any
other paper in New England. says: ‘Republi-
canism is sodead that, as a party, We real!
lack the stimulous to a healthy excitement.’
This these papers make the text for sneer-
ing comments upon an alleged want of en-
thusiasm in Eire Republican party. What the.
l
Springfield epublican did say, and will aé-
qucntly her after have occasion to say, is this;
“ The Democratic party is so dead here, and
everything b t Republicanism is 80 dead, that,
as a party, :c really lack the stimulus to a
healthy excitement.”
A party ion was rolls (1 to such pitiful
garbling as 's certainly deserved the death

betWee‘n New York and Albany, the: wind
came round ahead, the sloop Was Obliged to
anchor, and all hands turned -' in v, to enjoy
themselves in the cabin, hoping, that with the
turn of the tide there would come a Change _
of the Wind. At about 9 o’clock the Cap—
tain sent the boy on deck to get -‘ some water.
He had hardly got on deck before he return-
ed—dashing down the companion way head
fOrelnost, with terror depicted on his-counte-

‘ voice to know what was the matter. As
soon as the boy could sufficiently recover
from his fright, he exclaimed—five are lost !

No persuasion or threat could induce the boy
to returnffon deck. The captain. then sent
- one,ofthe hands, but he returned more pro-
cipitately' than the boy, and confirmed his
opinion} The other man was sent, but with
nob‘ettersuccess. The mate, thoughhe trem- *
bled in every joint, felt that the dignity of
the profession must be maintained; and he
followed up the companion-way, but after a

old thirteen British Colonies into free. and
independent States. It remained to~set fonh
the reason for this act, and the principles
which the new people would own as their
ides. Of the committee a ointed for that
duty, Thomas Jefferson of irginia had re-
ceived the largest number of votes,.and was
in that manner singled out to "draft the con-
feesion of 'th of the rising empire. He
owed this d ction to respectfor the colo-
ny which he represented, to the consummate
ability of the State papers which he had al-
ready written, and to that general favor
,which follows merit, modesty, and a sweet
disposition ; but the quality which Specially
fitted him for the task was the sympathetic
character of his nature, by which he was
able with instinctive perception to read the
soul of- the nation, and having collected in
himself its best thoughts and noblest feel-‘
lugs, to give them out in clear and bold
words, mixed with so little of himself, that
his country, as it went along with liim,fouud
nothing but What ' recognized as its own.—
No man of his cen ury had more trust in the
collective reason and conscience of his fellow
men, or better knew how to take their coun-
sel; and in return he came to be a ruler over
the willingin the world of Opinion. Born
to ap independent fortune, he had from his
youth been an indefatigible student. Of a
,calm temperate and a philosophical cast of
mind, always temperate in his mode of life
and decorous in his manners, he was a per-
fect master of his passions. He was of a
delicate organization, and fond of elegance;
his tastes were refined; laborious in his ap-
plication to business or the pursuit of knowl-
edge, music, the most spiritual of all pleas-
ures of the senses, was his favorite recrea-
tion ; and he took a never-failing delight in
the beauty of the various scenery of rural
life, building himselfa home in' the loveliest
region of his native State. He was a skillful
horseman; and he was not unfamiliar with
the literature of Greece and Rome; had an
aptitude for matlumatics and mechanics;
and loved especially the natural sciences;
scorning nothing but metaphysics. British
governors and officials had introduced into
Williamsburgh the prevalent frcethinking of
Englishmen of that century, and Jefferson
hadgrown up in its atmosphere; he was not~
only a hater of priestcraft and superstitition
' and bigotry and intolerance; he was thought
to be indifferent to religion ; yet his instincts
all inclined him to trace every fact to a gen-
eral law, and to put faith in ideal truth ; the
world of the senses did not bound his aspira-
tions, and he believed more than he himself
was aware of. He was an idealist in his
habits of thought and life, as indeed is every
one who has an abiding and thorough confi-
dence in the people; and he was kept so in
spite of circumstances by the irresistible bent
of his character. He had great power in
mastering details as well as in searching
for general principles. His profession was
that of the law, in which he was methodical,
pa' -taking, and successful; at the same
time he studied law as a science, and was
well read in the-law of nature and of nations.
Whatever he had to do, it was his custom to
prepare-himself for it carefully ; and, in pub-
lic life, when others were at fault, they often
found that he had already hewed out the
way; so that in council men willingly gave
him the lead; which he never appeared to
claim, and was always able to undertake.—
But he rarely spoke in public‘, and was less
fit to engage in the war of debate, than
calmly to sum up its conclusions. It was a
beautiful trait in his character that he was
free from envy; and had he kept silence,
John Adams would have wanted the best
witness to his greatness as the ablest advo~
catc and‘defender of independence. A com-
mon object now riveted the two statesmen
together in close bonds. I cannot find that
at. that period, Jefferson had any enemy ; by
the general consent of Virginia, he already
stood first among her civilians. Just thirty-
three years old, married, and happy in his
family, afiiuent, with a bright career before
him, he was no rash innovator by his char-
acter or his position; if hisconvictions drove
him to demand independence, it Was only
because he could no longer live with honor
under the British Constitution, which he
still acknowledged to be the best that the
world had thus far seen. His enunciation
of general principles was fearless; but he
was no visionary devotee of abstract theo-
ries, which, like disembodied souls, escape
from every embrace; the nursing of his couno
try, the offspring of his time, he set about the
work of a practical statesman, and his meas-
ures grew so naturally out of previous law
and the facts of the past, that they struck
, deep root and have endured.

Willa. LINCOLN IN PRIVATE LIFE—In
his personal habits, Mr. Lincoln is simple as
a child. He loves a. good dinner, and cats
with the appetite which goes with a great
brain; but his food is plain and nutritious.—
Hc never drinks intoxicating liquors of any
sort, not even a glass of wine. He is not ads
dicted to tobacco in any of its shapes. ‘He
never was accused of a licentious act in all
his life. He never uses profane language.—
Hc never gambles; we doubt if he ever indul-
ges in games of chance. He is particularly
cautious about incurring pecuniary obliga-
tions for any purpose Whatever, and in debt
he is never content until the score is dis-
charged. We presume he owes no man a
dollar. He never speculates. The rage for
the sudden acquisition of wealth never took
hold of him. His gains from his profession
have been modeiatc, but sufficient for his pur-
poses. Whilc others have dreamed of gold,
he has been in pursuit of knowledge. In all
his dealings he has the reputation of being
generous, but exact, and, above all religiously
honest. He would be a bold man who would
say that Abraham Lincoln ever wronged any
one out of a ccnt,or spent a dollar that he had
not honestly earned. His struggles in life
have made him careful of money; but his
generosity with his own is proverbial. He is
a regular attendant upon religious. worship,
and though not a communicant, is a. pew-
liolder and liberal supporter of the Presby-
terian church in Springfield, to which Mrs.
Lincoln belongs. He is a scrupulous teller
of the truth—too exact in his notions to
suit the atmosphere of Washington as it now
is.—0h2'cago Tribune. -

' A GREAT SACRIFICE—The great Montour

trust executed in The land
embraces some 2,000 acres, much of which
contains enormous deposits of iron ore. The
improvements thereon consist of as complete
an apparatus for manufacturing iron of all
kinds as can be found on the continent. It

er system than ours might have been made a
mighty productive investment to the owners,
besides doubling the value of farms within
miles of it. But the blight of Democratic

Lincoln because he'is not an Abolitionist.
In proof of this it quotes his speeches and

jectionable to any person adopting their ul-
tra views, and concludes:
“ And now we ask Abolitionists, before
they expose themselves to the heats of the
Presidential canvass, to consider, calmly and
[conscientiously whether they can, without
utter self-stultification, vote for a man who
is opposed to allowing the negro the rights
of citizenship, in favor of Congressional leg-
islation for the capture of fugitive slaves, in
favor of admitting new slave States to the
Union and opposed to the unqualified aboli-
tion of slavery in the District of Columbia,
and of the slave trade between the States?”
' thing
ore than one half of them.
the following references to the political ex-
eriences of this country:
p Let their lordships look at What took place
in the United States. It ought to be a warn-
ing to them. The great men by whom the
Revolutionary war was brought to a close In
that country believed that they had formeda
Constitution ,which would .prowde checks
against the power of an unlimited Democra-
cy; but every check which was then prov1-
ded against abuses had been one after the
other, swept away, until there prevailed both
in the. federal and in the State government a
system of unchecked dominion of power. 7- He
believed that if the contemporaries of Wash-
ington could be asked whether they would
prefer the form of Government which now
existed, the answer would be,that they would
not sanction the present form at all. (Hear,
hear.) It was clear that the first of these
changes had led to the result which they now
saw in America. And how had those
changes worked for the benefit and hapiness
of the United States? This was a subject
which must be brought under their lordship’s
notice, and it would be mere false delicacy
‘to abstain from stating those evils which now
afflicted America, and which her most en-
lightened citizens deplored. (Hear, hear.)—
In the first place, it was admitted that the
ablest and most enlightened men in the Uni-
ted States were absolutely excluded frr‘xall
share in the government of the country, ey
had noinfluencc at all over the acts of the
government. The whole power of the Leg-
islature, and of the executive, had fallen into
the hands of those men who did not scruple
to flatter the populace. (Hear, hear.) That
was clearly seen by the acts of the Executive
and of the Legislature. (Hear, hear.) Of
the Legislature of die United States what
could be said? Let their lordships look at
the manner in which the proceedings were,
carried on—thc. coarse vulgarity .and the
scenes of actual Open violence which took
place. (Hear, hear.) In this country the
Legislature bad swept away the system of
protection, and placed our revenue upon a
system which it was admitted was w_1se,sound
and beneficial; but while public opinion had
been strong enough to do this in England,
the people of America had, contrary to the
‘wishcs of Congress, maintained the very'nar-
rowest system of exploded protection; and at
this moment the revenue laws of the United
States were of such a character that no man
could doubt they imposed a great and need-
less burdcn upon the community for thebenj
efit of a few persons—(heary—and worse than
that, the system had led'to corruptionbemg
practised upon the most gigantic scale. -
That was admitted and deplored, but the
system was not confined to one set of men
or party, but was shared in by all, and one of
the authorities who confirmed it he would
venture to quote, the President himself, who
in a letter the 23rd February last, pomted
out the disastrous influence which the lavrsh
expenditure of the public money would have,
upon the institutions of the country. But
the system of corruption was openly. avowed
and it was said that to the victors for power
belonged the spoils, the meaning of which
was that the new President had to make a
wholesale dismissal of the public servants,
without any consideration as the fitness for
emplo ent of those who placed him in of-
fice. hey heard of acts being committed
which all must condemn. It appearedthat it
was the practice to grant public land in the
western States for the purposes of encourag-
ing the formation of railways. Those grants
were obtained from Congress, and so obtain-
ed, they werc used by the independent States
in the manner they thought best, and it ap-
peared that a railway company in Wisconsm
had really purchased the whole Government
of that State. There were thirteen Senators
who had received £35,000 amongst them, in
sums from £2,000 to £6,000. 'I‘licu sixty mem-
bers of the Lower House who had received
f1 om £1,000 to £2,000 each and there were only
four members who voted for the bill who
had not been bribed. [Laughton and “hear
hear.”] The Governor had received £10,000
for his influence in passing the measure, and
his Secretary £1,000. Even the clerks of the
House had received from £1,000 to £2,000
each. Others had received large sums of
money, and the sum of £50,000 4 was
placed for the acceptance of those who
were called outsiders. (Laughter.) This
statement did not rest upon more rumor
but it was the result of an officialinquiry by
the Legislature,and thewhole transaction had
been reported by a Committee of the House
of Representatives. Such was a state of
things which had arisen in the United States.
(Hear, hear.) Before leaving this subject
there was another point to which he Wished
to call attention. He had stated that the
President of the United States had, With the
most praisewortliv spirit, written a letter in
which he had alluded to the demoralizmg
effects of the system described, He was sor-
ry to say that the President himself was un-
able to resist the effects of the system. Thcre
had been an inquiry into the statcof the Na-
val Department of the United States, the re-
sult of which had been the publication of cer-
tain documents which no man could read
without astonishment. Contracts had been
habitually and avowedly.made* fbr the:pro-
motion not of the puhh01.~butiof,;private
interests. A physicianha'd been. appointed
to superintend the purchases". coal, who
knew nothing about coal, andrneveibhad any-
to do with purchasing it before, but
who received the appointment in order that
he might share the profits with certain other
persons. More than one letter had been ad-
dressed to the highest offlCer of the Govern-
ment, calling upon him to grant contracts as
a reward for political services. One letter
had been addressed to Mr. Buchanap, when
President, urging hiiu to take care that the
contract for the pumping machinery. m a
steamship should be given to a particular
house in Philadelphia, with a view to obtain-
in their political influence in the election.
There was no disguising the fact. _It was
put distinctly on the ground of the impor-
tance of obtaining their support in the pend-
ing elections. He appealed to en lordships
ifa letter had been addressc to the prime
minister of this country making a demand of
that kind, and if it had been proved that'he
had listened to it, whether such a proceeding
would not have aroused the indignation of
all parties in Parliament, and whether he»
would not have been subjected to the sever-
est censurc. But how did the President of
the United States treat the matter? The lct-
ter was simply sent to the Secretary of the
Navy, with'the endorsement, “ The enclosed
letter from —, of Philadelphia, is submitted
to the attention of the Secretary of the Navy
J. B.” The political corruption which pre-
vailed in the United States had had an effect
upon every interest and every class, and also
he was sorry to say upon the courts of law.
Some years ago the Supreme Court, was a
court of the highest authority, and its deCis-
ions were treated With the greatest respct,
not only at home but in this and othtr coun-
tries. l‘hc judges of that court were enlight-
ened and honorable men; and their deCiswns
were often quoted for their great moral
weight. How had this state of things been
altered? Under the sysem which had arisen
in America, the appointments of the Supreme
Court, like all other appomtments, had been
used for the promotion of party purposes,
and the court had lost the high character it
formerly possessed. It no longer command-
ed thc respect which it did formely, and some
of its recent decisions had created a feeling
‘almost of disgust among all h1gh.mmded men
in America. But this was not the worst. In
many of the States the judges were elected—
thcy were not only elected originally, but
elected for short periods, and consequently
had to be re-elected, he believed in some of
the States annually, their salaries being paid
by an annual vote. All this had arisen in
consequence of the adoption of a system
which placed all the political power in the
hands of one class, and that the lowest; and
the effect had been of a most deteriorating
character, both upon the church and the bar.

well-known and influential citizens who
have not hitherto acted with the Republican
party, but who believe that the peace; trau-
quility and prosperity of. the country will be
promoted by the election of LINCOLN and"
HAMLIN, are preparing to hold a City Meet.
His field » was -
ing to respond to and ratify their nomina— . '
tion. Most of them are ClaysWhigs of other
days, who supported Mr. Fillmore in ’56,
partly from State pride and personal regard,
but in part also because he was the only can-
didate in nominationfor President Who had '
shared in their previous struggle or who was
deemed by them sound inhis views with re-
gard to the internal policy 'and le islative
needs of the country. Believing l r.’ Lin-
coln to be substantially with them on these
important topics, they have resolved to be
with him, and to swell by their numbers the ; "
invincible best that is mustering to march-to .
victory under his banner. * They Will mvne
speakers from different parts of the country, -_ 3
and appeal to all who believe there is need ,
of Reform at Washington to co-operate With' _
them. Their meeting will doubtless be 3a.
large one—N. Y. Tribmze.

SEWARD AND WEBSTER—The sympathy
which the Democracy are now pouring. out .
upon Mr. Seward revives the recollections of '
the Scott Campaign, when, the same class of
men lavished their compliments upon Mr. '
Webster. Mr. Webster, all his life, had been
villified by them, and so has Mr. Seward, yet'
the moment Gen. Scott was nominated, they
hovered round him with honeyed phrases,
and even kept in his train until he died.‘—.
Then they walled vehemently and cons;iicu’~_ .. ' '
ously at the sepulchre, and were prolific in. L
dirgesan‘d eulogiums. So now they fill the -
air with lamentations over the defeat of 'Mr.
Seward. The "vile traitor,” the “arch dema~ ‘
agogue,” the author of the “irrepressible con-». '
diet," the instigator of John Brown,1the man " '
who “set the fuse on fire,” and then ran away
to Egypt to await the explosion, has all‘at
once, in their eyes become a paragon ofstates-.
manship and ability, the best beloved of gEo
iiius, the hope Of the nation, the light of their ' _
life, and the joy of their understanding. Poor
fellows! They sh00k theirdice' and- gambled
for votes upon the cofin of Webster;,but they
cannot do it in the face of Seward.
