CEMENT ROOFING»
‘HIS article has been thoroughly tested by
Cl. builders, Architects, and others, and the
experience ot‘ycais has proved it to be the
cheapest and most durable roofing in use.
We call attention to the following facts :
lst—It is fire and water proof.
2d-Fi'om 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 01' flat, and is not in want of
constant repairs, as is the case with metal and
other roofs.
4tli—Tlie cost is only about One-Half that.
of Tin, and it is twice as durable. -
It is readily applied to Old Shingle Roofs,
without removing the shingles, which is a
great desideratnm 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 re-
paired with Gutta Pcrcha Cement, and
prevented from further corrosion and leaking
thereby insuring a perfectly water-tight roof
for many years. .
Specimens of the Roofing can be seen by
calling on the subscriber, at South Norwalk.
All orders by letter will receive prompt at-
tention. D. F. HUNT, South Norwalk.

I love that brave heroic heart
Which through the storm of sorrow,
Dored still to choose the mlnstrel’s part,
And sing of bright to-morrow :
Whose noble spirit, passioned-stirred,
Shines o’er his poet pages,
Predicting in each charmed word,
The hopes of coming ages.
Tire stricken soul looks up to him,
Who knows and feels its sadness,—
I’ale brows and eyes, which tear-drops dim,
Grow bright with sudden gladness.
He sings amid the clouds of strife
The better years beginning,
And shows us through a noble life,
A goal that‘s worth the winning.
No poet laureate's wreath is his,
No princely pomp surrounds him,
But heart-warm tears, afi‘ection’s kiss,
All love’s best gifts have crowned him.
He walks not with the titled few,
Nor covets wealth and splendor,
Ilia soul has joys they never knew,
No titled birth can render.
0 heart ! which dares to brave the ban,
Which blights the poor man's labor,
0 love ! which finds in every man
A fellow, friend, and neighbor.
The tolling thousands with thy strain
Shall sing their star arisen,
As lung of old the captives train
' At midnight in their prison.
0 song i which brings o’er cottage roofs
The vine of patience twining,
Which mingles with the weaver’s woof-
The threads of silver shining ;
Which beautifies the humblcst place
With themes of golden glory,
And makes the smile of one dear face
Fit theme for minstrel story.
A thousand hearts across the main,
Responsive echoes beating,
Grow stronger with thy cherry strain.
And send thee cordial greeting.
Sing on 1 sing on i thy tuneful song
Shall swell with myriad voices,
Till in the better days to come,
The whole glad earth rejoices. 1. o. n.

We have parted.
BY ANN N. CURTISS.
The time has come—we have parted ;
Thou art gay, 1 broken hearted ;
And I must need thy letters burn,
Must need thy tokens all return.
These letters, should I read them o'er,
Could not my early hopes restore;
They'd only serve to keep the flame,
That now would tinge my name with blame.
And here's the ring, with lock ofmine,
Linked closely in with one of thine ;
And once I thought it naught but true,
That thus our hearts were woven too.
I send thee back thy pictured face,
Another now its lines shalltrace,
But not another heart shall be
More true than mine has been to thee.
My God 2 and must I part with this ?
Press here no more my burning kiss ?
Could I keep this, I love the best,
Without a sigh I send the rest.
And now thy gifts are all restored—
Ring, picture, and the precious hoard
0f little tokens treasured long—
All bringing thoughts oflove and wrong.
And wilt than now restore to me
The gay, light heart I gave to thee ?
Send back my spirits gladsome flow,
0r give my check its former glow ?
Ah, no ! thou eanst not them restore ;
The heart has withered at its core ;
Those spirits now no longer live,
. And health no more its bloom can give.

W There is one singular custom in the
churches of New England that often produ-
ces great inconvenience and no little disturb-
ance. We allude to the idea that the extrem-
ity of the pew is the seat of honor and must
invariably be given to the ladies. It is usual-
ly conceded to the female head of the family.
So powerful is this custom that if a. lady comes
in late and wishes a seat, every gentleman in
the slip must leave it and parade out into the
male to give her this coveted post of honor. ,
There seems now no reaso'n for this custom,
and it should be given up. When the cus-
tompriginated there was a“ powerful reason
for rt. When the assembled worshippers
might be attacked by the Indians in the very
moment of devotion, and when, for purposes
of defence, the male members took their mus
kets to church, it was very proper that they
should have the front of the ow to rush at
once to repel the attack. hen the inner
seat was‘theseatofcomparativesafety. That
was givento the matron, who gathered the
young. elnldren about her. The father, of
necessrty, took the head of the pew, with his
grown up, stalwart sons next him, each with
his musket before him. They never kneeled
then in prayer, or bowed the head. ‘It was
an unsafe position. It must have been a
grand spectacle to see those calmly heroic
men, worshipping their God, leaning on the
tops of their muskets, with their eyes and
their ears open not onlyto the prayer of their
pastor, but to the possible attack of their
toes. Thus originated in custom of arranging
the occupants of a pew, which has become,
from. habit, useless and troublesome in mod-
ern times. Some churches have already dis-
pensed with the custom, and find it. saves
much confusion—Churam.

A GOOD SPEECH.—-Hcre is the speech that
the Philadelphia. Press supposes Buchanan
might have made if serenaded by a deputa-.
tion from the Breckenridge meeting the other
night:
I have lived to be nearly sevent years of
age. I was admitted into the emocratlc
party just. before I became forty. All my
previous hfehad been spent trying to destroy
IL. I hated it with the intensity of a natural
aristocrat, and as I mounted to one high p0-
srtron after another, by the aid of the votes of
that party, I was resolved, if I could ever
achieve the Presidency, to 've it the final
blow. Therefore it is that cordially t
you_to-niglit. In your standard-bearer rec-
ognize a man whom I have always detected,
while I supposed him to be my rival, and
whom I now only love because he has con-
sented to be my tool in the great work of
destroying the only national party. I tell
those of you who are listenin to me, that if
you do not assrst me in this elightful occu-
pation, you shall be summarily dismissed,
and, now, my friends, and followers, my ser-
vants and subordinates, good night. You
will proceed hence to be addressed b ' my
Secretary of the Treasury, Howell 00 b, of
Georgia, by my beloved friend, Col. Forenee
of Pennsylvania, by my Secretary of the In-
terior, J acob Thompson, of Mississippi, by
my District Attorney, Robert Ould,Esq., and
by all others who believe that “it will be a
great deal better to elect Abraham Lincoln
than Stephen A. Douglas.”

The Slavery of the Democratic Pitt).
Judging from our own observation and a
carefulweighin of the declarations ' of each
fragment of the ate democratic party, we in-
cline to think that a majority ofthose in Hart-
ford who have hitherto voted with the sham
prefer the Douglas ticket. It is clear that
Douglas and Johnson have the best claims
to regularity. That the Times admits, while
refusmg to support them. - -'
Yet such is the strength of the conviction
in the minds of the democracy that the policy
and the candidates which best suit the Slave
Power are sure to rule the party soon or late,
according to invariable experience hitherto,
that very few of them of any political posi-
tion or influence dare to take an open stand.
All the sham democratic papers of this
state, with two exceptions, are Controlled by
federal influence, throu h offices held by ed!-
tors or their friends. 11 the same phalanx
are the custom house officers and nearly all
the postmastcrs. Of course the petty politic-
ians desiring either federal or state officers,
and desirous of good will at head quarters
either zealously cry amen, or, no matter how
strong their convictions, maintain a discreet
silence.
Thus it results that the Times and Register
Can every year give the lie to their previous
declarations, and now advocate the slave
code interveu ' ' ciples of the Brecken-
ridge faction, ll keep the reins. Thus
it results that s not on the face of the
globe a meaner despotism than that exercised
by the Democratic overseen of Connecticut
upon their followers. Thus it happens, that
because Gen. Pratt, being human, resented
the shabby treatment of last spring, a com-
pany of the second class overseen can decree
that he shall not address a meeting of his own
party in Hartford. That he would have been
interrupted and silenced, perhaps driven from
the building if he had undertaken to speak on
Tuesday evening, no one present could doubt.
And therefore it is that because those of-
fice holding editors will not say the word,
dozens of men of twice their brains, flinch
from tire party lush and yield their own hon-
est convictions.
Wc profess nothing but hostility to the
democratic party, and tender no mock sym-
pathy to either or any of its factions, but we
tell them they owe it to their character asfrec
men to smash t0 atoms a tyranny so con-
tcmptible, and yet so tormenting and inces-
sant. If ever the republican party comes to
that pass and we don’t take an ax and join in
the work of shivering its timbers, it will be
because we have neither strength nor soul
left—Press.

BAD BItEATiL—If when the face is brought
near another-’5 the lips are kept firmly closed
there is no bad breath, that which comesfiom
the nose not being perceptibly disc , cable.
Much of'the disagreeable odor of a to men}
may be avoided, if the teeth and month are
well rinsed with warm water, and the tooth
brush is passed over the back part of the
tongue. In some persons, a fetor of breath
and of the feet alternate, in others, both are
present at the same time. A feted effiuvio
arises usually, if not always, from three cau-
ses: let, it is hereditary, being connected
with a scrofulous taint. 2d, it arises from a
want of personal cleanliness; 3d, it attends a
disordered stomach. The second and third
qu est their own remedies. The first is a
grievous and mortifying misfortune to all sen-
sativc minds; but it may be remedied, to a
very considerable extent, by persistent habits
of strict personal cleanliness; by large out-
loor exercise, personal regularities, and the
:emperateuse of plain, substantial, food, care-
fully avording all gross and rancid articles of
.net—suet, cheese, pies, puddings, smoked and
fried meats,fisb,and the like—usingoflen and
efficiently the vapor or warm bath, with soap
and plentiful friction.

A SAD INCIDENr.—The Newark Mercury
:clatcs a sad story of a little boy four and a
half years old, who was lost on the 5th. He
was found on the 14th, sunk up to his knees
in the bogs ofa meadow, not more than 200
yards from the house Of a colored man. It is
sgpposcd that the little fellow followed ahead
0 on a picnic, and being tired, sought to
reach home across the meadows, and become
so deeply mired that he could not extricate
himself. The colored man remembers hear-
ing, during that ni lit, which was stormy and
dismal, a voice ca ling “Momma, Momma,"
but he could not discover whence it came.

PET Bums—Caged birds are the source of
much pleasure, and while they give great
happiness, if they are kept in healthy
condition, seem to enjoy life nearly, if not
quite as well, as their mates in the brush or
wild wood. One of the great draw backs to
the happiness of birds, and the pleasure of
keeping them, is “lice,” and having recently
learned ofa safe and sure way of removing
them, we give it to our readers. The Michié
gnu Farmer says :—
“Lay a piece of Cotton or cotton flannel
over the cage at of ht, several nights in suc-
cession, takin he at day-light. Multitudes
of the lice wi be found upon it, which are
easily killed. After a few days all will be
removed. A case in which this was very
successful has just been brou ht to our notice
-—from a pair of Bob-o-lin in hundreds of
these parasites were removed in this way.”

be disturbed with flies—Etchngo.
