GEMBNT ROOFING.

r ‘HIS article has been thoroughly tested by
builders, Architects, and Others, and the

experience ot‘ycnrs has proved it to be the

cheapest. and most durable roofing m use.

“To call attention to the following facts :

lst—It'. is fire and water proof. ,

2 l~From its great elasticity it is not inju-
riouslv affected by extremes of heat and cold.

BdQ—It is adapted to all kinds of Roofs,
whether sleep or flat, and is not in want of
constant repairs, as is the case with metal and
other roofs.

41th—Thc"cost is only about One-Half that
of T111, and it is twice as durable.

It is readily applied, to Old Shingle I00f3,
wit hout removing the shingles, which is a
great dcsideralum 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-
paircd with, Gutta Pcrcha Cement, and
prevented from f urthcr corrosion and leaking
thereby insuring a perfectly water-tight root
for many years. '

Specimens of the Roofing can be seen by
calling on the. subscriber, at South N on 1111;.
All orders by letter will receive prompt at-
tention. I). F. HUNT, South Ndl'walk.

In whatever path you go,
In whatever place you stand.
Moving swift or moving slow,
With a firm and honest hand
Make your mark.

Should opponents hedge your way,
Make your mark.
Work by night, or work by day—
Make your mark.
Struggle manfullyand well,
Let no obstacles oppose ;
None right-shielded ever fell
By the weapon of his foes—
Makc your mark.

What though born a peasant’s son-m-
Makc your mark.
Good by poor men may be donem
Make your mark.
Peasants” garbs may warm the cold,
Pcasants‘ words may calm a fear ;
Better for than hoarding gold
Is the drying ofa tear—
Mako your mark.

Life is fleeting as a shade——

Marks of some kind must be made—
Make your mark.
Make it while the arm is strong,
In the golden hours of youth ;
Never, never make it wrong ;

But. never yet the gentler sex,
Have heard the cheering sound.

‘ But there's a good time coming, girls, '

Emancipation is the cry,
Om- fainting hearts to cheer.

There is a goodtimc coming, girls.

Reason'a petition we invoke ;
’Tis not in vain wo plead.

And fashion, luckless wight,

Must take its downward flight.

There is a good time coming,
Then to the standard vie;

THE CREAM CHEESE.

 

Two travellers occupied a first class car on
the road from Corbeil to Paris—a man about
thirty years old, and a lady who might have
passed for ten years younger, though the bap-
tismal register proved her to bc twenty-five.
It was a bright morning in June, not a cloud
veiled the deep blue of the heavens; and the
sun, shining obliquely through the window,
inundated with its rays the side where the
lady was situated. ,

“The sun incommodes you, madame," said
the gentleman; “I should be happy to ex-
change places, if it would be agreeable to
you.

“I am exceedingly obliged to you, sir; but
I cannot ride backward. It is not for my-
self, either, that I fear the sun, but for this
basket."

She pointed to a charming little piece of
wicker work on the scat beside her, from be-
neath the cover of which the edges of some
vino leaves pcepcd out.

“The sun docs‘not injure fruit. madame;
add this appears, besides, sufficiently protect-
cc.

"It is not fruit, sir, there is only a simple
cream-cheese in the basket; but I should be
distressed if it did not arrive in Paris perfectly
fresh,”

'Then, asit to be certain that she had not
compromised herself in talking with a stran-
ger, "To whom have I honor to speak ?” she
added; taking care, however, to conceai, by
a smile, the distrust which suggested the
question.

“To a future inhabitant of Corbeil, mad-
ame; I have. recently purchased a house
there, and I have just completed its furnish-
ing. My name is Dclannoy.” 2

The lady inclined her head with a satisfied
air. There was no great information. it is
true. in the name of Delannoy; but it was
evident to her that a man who had just
bought a house must be respectable.

Delannoy thought that he had a right to
ask a question in his turn.

“Does madame reside at Corbeil ?"

“Yes sir.”

“I shall be happy if my property is in the
neighborhood ol‘madamc. It is situated in
the Rue de Quartorze.”

“Indeed, sir! “’0 should have been neigh-
bors six months ago. I occupied at that
time the first story of the. Nongcnlet man;
sion. Non gculet is the name of my husband’s
family.

“Madame is married, then ?”

"I am a. widow, sir i”

Dclannoy looked more closely at Madame
Nogcnlet; he observed that she had glossy
black hair, expressive eyes, ruby lips, which
disclosed two magnificent rows of pearls, a
small White hand; in short, that she was a.
very pretty widow.

“The sun is shining full upon your basket,”,
he remarked, after completing his observa-
tion; “allow me to place it upon my seat.”
It would have been difficult; to refuse; for
the hand of Delannoy, more prompt than his
word, had effected the change before he had
completed his offer.

‘280 much trouble about a cheese! I am
afraid that I seem very ridiculous to you; but
1 have an old aunt in Paris, Rue de Va-
renncs, whom I love like a mother, and who
is very fond of these cheeses, which are made
in great perfection in the neighborhood of
Corbeil. I never visit her without carrying
one with me, and I am naturally anxious
that she should receive it perfectly fresh."

“It onlyjustifies, madame, the opinion one
would form on seeing you."

An examination of a few seconds had
shown Madame Nogenlet that her compli-
mentary neighbor had a. pleasing face and a
fine form.

“Is it as a permanent dwelling, or only as
a summer residence, that monsienr has pur-
chased a house in our village ‘9”

“I do not know as yet, madame. It. will
depend upon the effect which the change of
air may produce upon the health of my wife."

“Ah! monsienr is married 1"

The conversation became more languid.—
Perhaps Madame Nogenletfound some cause
for regret in the information she had just re.-
ceivcd; perhaps Delannoy discovered that
there was danger in becoming too intimately
acquainted with a widow as attractive as
Madame Nogenlet. But these details are for-
eign to' our story.

The train stops. It is the station of Choi-
sis le Roy. Madame N ogenlet utters a cry
of surprise. Among the persons who await
the arrival of the train, she recognizes a
boarding school friend whom she has lost
sight of for several years. She alights hur-
riedly. She can go on by the ncx train. A
delay of an hour and a. half will not do any
great harm to her old aunt.

Delannoy remains alone in his comparb
ment of the car. While he is congratulating
himself upon having come out with. honor

 

 

from this perilous recontre, his eye falls upon
the pretty widow’s basket. In her eagerness
to hasten after her friend, Madame Nogenlet
has left upon the seat the precious cheese, the
object of so much solicitude. Happily, she

. has given her name to Delannov. She has

even indicated the dwelling of her aunt, for
whom the cheese is destined. Delannoy can
do no less than carry the basket to its ad-
dress. It is an imperious duty of politeness,
which it would be impossible for a well-bred
man to neglect.

That he may not, in his turn, forget the
basket, Delannoy places it on his knees, and
while thinking ofmatters and things in gen-
eral, half mechanically he raises the lid,—
Perhaps he had a little desire to see thephys—
iognomy of this precious cheese. We must not
imagine that curiosity is the exclusive priv-
_lege of the dau hters of Eve. ,

The parted Vine leaves allowed him to per-
ceive a golden surface of a very tempting
character, but. his attention was soon diver-
ted from this to the comer of a sheet of pa-
per, in which the cheese appears to have been
first wrapped. On this corner there is a sig-
nature, and it is that of Valentine, his wife.

This is a singular accident, he said to him-
self, and, what is more singular, is, that Val-
entine has never spoken to me of this Mad-
ame Nogenlet, with whom, however, she is
corresponding. -

A simple signature cannot satisfy him.—
"Let us see, then, in what terms my wife
writes to this lat y.”

He half turned the cheese, and succeeds in
detaching the paper. It is only a fragment
containing, on one side, two lines of the third
page of the letter, ,‘preceding the signature,
and on the other a portion of the address.—
Two lines only ! Yet these two lines suffice
to draw from him a cry of surprise and in-
dignation :—

“I shall never forget how kind you have been to me

.undcr all circumstances.

My lovers thine forever. VALENTINE.

0n the back is written “To Monsieur
The rest of the address is wanting.

“N o matter,” he cried, trembling with rage;
“The guilty wife must pc punished first. I
shall find means afterward to reach the ac-
complice.”

The train stopped at its destination. Dc-
lannoy, holding in one hand the basket 'of
Madame N ogenlet, and pressing convulsive-
ly in the other the tell-tale paper, jumps into
a coach, and soon arrives at his dwelling,
where his wife is awaiting him. He had
sent on before 'Mariette, the servant, to in-
form her that the house was ready, and that:
he should come for her himself during the
course of the day.

The young wife remarks, with terror, the
strange expression of her husband’s counte-

1,

 

.nancc.

“What has happened, my love ?” she cx-
claimed.

“ You will soon know madame; but in the
first place, answer my questions. Do you
know any one at Corbeil ‘2”

The eyes of Delannoy darted such lightning
glances, that Valentine remained a moment
stupefied.

“Remember,” he resumed, “ that I must
know the whole truth, and it will be useless
to attempt to deceive me. When I decided
to remove to Corbeil, in preference to any
other place, it was owing to your entreaties,
There mnst have been a reason for those en-
treaties, and that reason I will know. Well,
madame, how long must I wait for your an-
swer ?”

“If I have hesitated for a moment,” replied
Valentine, with the most perfect calmness, “it
15 because I was trying to understand the
reasons of your evident anger. I know no
one at Corbeil. I begged you to remove
there because many persons recommended
the climate as very healthful.”

“You deny, then ‘3”

"Deny what? Your questions are perfect-
ly enigmatical.”

“_I will enlighten you, madame. Here is
a plece of paper which comes from Corbeil.”

Delannoy unfolded the paper and placedit
before Valentine.

“Do you recognize this handwriting ‘9”

“It is mine”.

“Yes, your writing, madame. I did not
need your confession to be sure of it. And
you pretend to know no one in aplace where
some one lives to whom you write—‘My
love is thine forever!’ ”

“N 0 one, I repeat it; and I cannot under-
stand-4’ .

“Enough, madame. I will hear no more.
There IS no possibility of justification. As 'I
have a horror of scandal, I shall endeavor to
control my indignation. I wish no violent
scenes or disgraceful lawsuits. I will show
great tutlulgeuce, but it is on two conditions,
w1thm twenty four hours you will leave my

house and return to your family, and you

will tell me instantly the name of the scoun-
drcl to whom this letter is addressed.”

_“Sir,” replied Valentine, with an air of dig-
mty, “you are not in a condition to listen to
me, and I confess, besides, that I am not able
at present to justify myself I cannot deny
my Signature, and these lines also were writ-
ten by my hand. There is a mystery about
1twhlch Icannot understand, and to which
I am obliged, at present, to yield. Your first
command shall be obeyed. To-morrow I
wdlsefk ail-asylum with my mother; but
my obcoxeuéi' can go no farther. Whatever
right the law may give you over me, it does
not authorize you to require an impossibility.”

Delannoy was confounded. He had not
suspected such _audacity in a woman who
had always hitherto appeared perfectly gen-
tle, and even timid. He shut himself up in
his chamber, and gave full vent to his rage.
Death l—death alone could revenge him up-
on the wretch who had ruined his happiness.
How could- he discover that name which
Valentine refused to disclose? He would
give half his fortune to know it. Should he
apply to Madame Nogeulet? Perhaps she
was ignorant of the existence of the letter;
but, then, how did it come into her posses-
sion. His excited imagination soon invented
a fable to account for this. Madame N agent-
lot was pretty, and a widow, with, no doubt,
many admirers—her choice had fallen on
some Lovelace—a. lost letter had revealed to
her his infidelity—there had been a quarrel,
then a reconciliation, on condition of the sac-
rifice of the correspondence. Other letters
were, undoubtedly, in the hands of the
widow.

So convinced does he at length become
of the reality of his fancies, that be deter-
mines to go directly to Madame Nogenlct.—
The basket will furnish an excuse for a visit.
He already knows the street of her residence.

His determination is immediately carried
into effect. After a few inquiries the house
is found, and he is soon ushered into a draw-
ing-room where Madame Nogenlet receives
him with the warmest expressions of grat-
tiude.

“How very kind of you, sir, Io take so
much trouble to repair the effects of my in-
excusable carelessness ! My poor aunt will
be delighted. You cannot imagine the
pleasure which the return of this basket.
gives me.”

“ I am very happy if it is so, as I trust it.
will lead you to some indulgence in my
favor.” ‘

He then related simply that he had not
been able to resist the temptation of a peep
at. the cheese, and the result had been the
discovery of a piece of paper, on which were
written the lines—“1 shall never forget,”
etc., etc.

“ Indeed !” said Madame Nogenlet, laugh-
ing; “ was this. on the envelope of my
cheese? A love-letter! It is charming !—
What'a pity that there is only the end of it.”

“ The commencement cannot be far off.”

“ Do you think so ‘3”

“ Madame, the imprudent person who
wrote those lines—who never should have
written them—belongs to a respectable tam-
ily with whose friendship I am honored.—
lou will easily understand that the entire
letter must be of a still more compromising
character, especially if the writer is—a mar-
ried woman.”

“ I can imagine that such a passage would
not sound pleasantly in the ears of a bus-
band.” _

“ How the letter came into your hands—
with others, perhaps—I have certainly no
right to ask ; but permit me to represent to
you the grief which this secret, if divulged,

would excite in a respectable family. Let

 

 

 

mc supplicate you madame, to make the gen-

erous sacrifice of this letter—or rather of
those letters—it is to be presumed that there
are others.”

Madame_ Nogenlet looked at him with
some surprise. ,

“ It would give me the greatest pleasure.”
she said, “to oblige you, it it were in my
power; the kindness I have received from
you is assuredly worth a few scraps of pa.
per; but, unfortunately, the one you have
shown me is the only one that has been in
my possession; and that was without my
knowledge.”

“ Then I was mistaken in my conjectures,”
cried Delannoy, in a tone of vexation.

“ And does this trouble you much ‘3”

“ Assuredly. What can I do, now? To
whom can I apply ‘1’”

"To the grocer who sold me. the cheese,
at Corbeil, Rue St. Spire.”

“True. I did not think of that. I will
go there immediately. A thousand pardons,
madame, for having troubled you.”

The. impatience of Delannoy had yet to
suffer one trial. \Vhen he arrived at the
railroad station the train for Corbeil had just
left, and he was obliged to wait two hours.
While he was waiting, a train arrived from
Corbeil, and one of the first persons who
stepped out of the cars was Mariette.

“ Where have you been 2?” he asked.

“ To Corbeil.” ' -

“ Who sent you ?”

“ Madame.”

“ What for?”

“To get sotne articles that had been sent
on there which she wanted.”

The answer was so simple and probable
that Delannoy did not inquire further.

“ You can go,” he said. .

Mariette did not wait to be told twice, and
the haste which she showed in departing,
awoke some suspicions in the mind of her
master, who remembered now, or fancied,
that she looked embarrassed, and that her
face flushed when she saw him. But the
train was about to start, and he had no time
to follow her. He stepped into a car, and
in an hour was at the grocer’s, in the Rue
St. Spire.

“ Madame,” he said to the woman who
stood behind the counter, “ you have a stock
of old papers in which you wrap up your
goods. How much are they worth?”

The woman looked across her spectacles
with surprise at the individual ‘who asked
this unusual question.

“ You do not understand me?”

“ Perfectly, sir; but it would be difficult to
tell the value without weighing them.”

“ If I should offer you twenty francs
would you be satisfied ?"

H Sir ‘51!)

“Hold here are forty; if you will give
them all to me immediately, without excep-
ting the smallest scrap.”

The best days at the grocery never brought
her in the half of this; and Delannoy soon
found his arms full of papers, which, she as-
sured him, were 'all that she possessed. He
hastens to his house, turns over carefully
bills, college themes, business'letters, etc., by
the dozens; not one escapes him, and'he ar-
rives at the last, fatigued and exhausted, but
without any result. He returns to the gro-
cer '.

“Madame, you have deceived me 2”

“I, sir ‘3"

“ You have other papers beside these.”

“ Look for yourself, sir—under the counter
—in the drawers—I defy you to find one.”

“ It is very strangethat among all the pa-
pers you have given me there is not one of
those which I wish to fiat .”

“ Perhaps the person took them that was
here before you.”

“ What person?”

“ Some one came an hour or two ago, and
paid me to let. her look over them, and take
what she wanted.”

This revelation struck Delannoy with sur-

rxse. .
p “ Can you tell me who this person was ‘2”
he asked.

“ The servant of a. family who have re-
ceutl come to Corbeil.”

“ll ariette ‘2”

. “ I believe that was her name.”

Mariette! It was very strange. How
could Mariette have anticipated him in his
search, when he had not. uttered a word
which couldrcveal his intention ? “ I will in-
terrogate her," he exclaimed. “This myste-
ry must be cleared up.”

Having passed over, for the third time, the
road between Corbeil and Paris, he arrived
at his house Mariette opens the door.

“ You have been to the grocer’s in Corbeil
to get some papers. Do not attempt to deny
it—you gee 1 know all.”

u Sir—l1
“ Did madame order you to do this 2'”

Mariette looks down—twists her apron in
her fingers—and utters some unintelligible
words. Delanuoy had hitherto restrained
himself; but the increasing embarrassment
of Mariette enraged him beyond all bounds.

“ Will you speak ‘3” he shouted, in a voice
loud enough to shake every window in the
house.

Mariette sobs. '

“ Oh! sir—parclon—pardon—do not think
me dishonest—(lo not turn me away—I
thought it was my perquisites—I did not
know it. was wrong.”

Delannoy strides across the room with his
fists clenche d. .

“ The girl has lost her Wits,” he matters.
“I can get nothing out of her.”

A door opens. Madame Delannoy ap-
pears.

“N o, sir, Mariette has not lost her wits.
She is right in blaming herself for a fault
which might have had very serious conse-
quences; but you will pardon her, I hope, at.
my request.”

Dclannoy felt the blood boil in his veins.
Pardon her! and at the request of a. wife
who had so much need of portion herself.

“ Go !" said Valentine to Mariette.

Before leaving she wished to make one
last effort.

“ I assure you, sir, that I never did such a
thing before." .

Delannoy uttered an exclamation of im-
patience, that made poor Mariette take flight
instantly. \_

“ I await, madame, the termination of this
comedy.”

“ Here it is, sir."

Valentine. presented apiece of paper to her
husband. This paper is a fragment of a let-
ter, and fits, with the most perfect exactness,
the fragment which Delaunoy has in his pOs-
session. On the last. was, as we have said,
the commencement of an address; the end
was on the other. Delannoy utters a cry of
joy, and falls on his knees before his wife.—
Thc whole address was this—“To Monsreur
Delannoy, paste restante, Toulouse."

Delanuoy had taken a. journey to the South
of France some years before.

“ I am happy—=3. thousand times happy!
—-butI do not. yet understand.”

“The explanation is very simple. Mariet-
tc, in arranging the furniture of the house at
Corbeil,found a package of old papers,which
she thought she could sell for not own ben-
efit. Among them were the letters which
I wrote you at Toulouse. The poor girl,
finding by the scene of the morning What
trouble she had caused, came in tears to con-
fess hcr fault. I sent her to Corbeil. You
know the rest.” _

After the explanation came reproaches.—
Valentine, ill-used in the- morning, had so
good a Chance to revenge herself in the even-
ing! and vengeance is so sweet to summon
——cven the most indulgent!

And then—when she had scolded him well
—she (lid, what. the most severe will (lo—she
pardoned. ‘
