Gutta Percha as India Rubber
.CHMEN 1' ROOFING.
HIS article has been thoroughly tested by
builders, Architects, and others, and the
experience of years 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—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—Thc 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 dcsideratum 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 Percha Cement, and
prevented from further 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 or'walk.
All orders b ' letter will receive prompt at-
tention. D. F. HUNT, South Norwalk.

TO MY WIPE.
'3? 11:7. 0. V. Bl'flim.
Afar from thee! the morning breaks,
But morning brings no joy to me;
Alas! my spirit only wakes
To know that I am far from thee:
- In dreams I saw thy llssSerl face,
And thou wert nestled on my breast ;
In dreams I felt thy warm embrace,
And to mine own thy heart was pressed.
Afar from thee! ’Tis solitude,
Though smiling crowds around me be,
The kind, the beautiful, the good—
For I can only think of thee ;
Of thee, the kindest, loveliest, best,
My earliest, and my only one ;
Without thee I am all unblest,
And wholly Olest with thee alone.
Afar from thee! The words of praise
My listless ear anhgeded greet ;
What sweetest seemed in better days,
Without thee seems no longer sweet;
The dearest joy Fame can bestow,
Is in thy moistened eye to see,
And in thy cheeks unusuallglow,
Thou deem’st me not unworthy thee.
Afar from thee! The night is come,
But slambers from my pillows fiee:
I cannot rest so far from home,
And my heart’s home is love with thee!
I kneel before the throne of prayer,
And then 1 know that thou art nigh ;
For God, who seeth everywhere,
Bends on us both his watchful eye.
Together in his loved embrace,
No distance can our hearts divide;
Forgotten quite the mediate space,
I kneel thy kneeling form beside;
My tranquil frame then sinks to sleep.
But soars the spirit far and free;
0 welcome be night’s slumbers deep,
For then, dear love, Iam with thee.

THE EXEMPIIARY WIPE.
0 blest is he whose arms infold
A consort virtuous as fair;
Her price is far above the gold
That worldly spirits love to share.
On her, as on a beauteous isle
Amid life's dark and stormy sea,
111 all his troubles, all his toil,
Ilc rests with deep security.
.en in the night-watch dark and lone,
The distafi' fills her busy hand:
Her husband in the gates is known
Among the elders of the iarrd;
Her household all delight to share
The food and raiment she bestows—
Even she with a parent's care
Regards their weakness and their woes.
Her pltying hand supplies the poor,
The widowed one, the orphan child,
Like birds assembled round her door,
When sweeps the winter tempest wild.
Her lips, with love and wisdom fraught.
Drop, like the honey-comb, their sweets.
The young are by her dictates taught,
The mourner her condolence meets.
Her lovely babes around her rise—
Falr scions of a holy stem!
And deeply shall her bosom prize
The blessings she receives from them.
Beauty is vain as summer bloom
To which a transient fate is 'given,
But hers awaits a lasting doom
In the eternal bowers of heaven.

That “Interceptor! Correspondence."
Unable in our last to give but a portion
of the letter of the infelicitous Benedict, im-
prisoned on board the “ mysterious sclroonc
er,” we now publish it entire. The dismal
narrative of our friend commenced last week,
was seized upon with such an avidity by our
readers, that we feel fully warranted in de-
voting the space it occupies. Besides, we
have a hope that his unhappy experiences
may exert a wholesome influence over any
“man of family" who may hereafter be in
danger of being beguilcd from the serene
joys of his domestic hearth, and the charms
of his adoring and adorable “Lucinda Jane":
Nawronr, R. 1., July 27th, 1860.
Mr naanzs'r Lucrxna J AXE-Ii. is new four days
since I took my last lingering look of you, as you
stood on the dock. gazing in sadness on the receding
bark, which was rapidly bearing away upon the be-
som oi the deep, your own adorcr. Need I stop to
tell you how long those days have been to me, or the
simple truth that you never looked so much like an
angel to me before. How I envied the happinessof
that Detroit fellow, who had his ladies go with us
as far as Goose Island. But I now learn that the
poor things were coax ed ofi' without their breakfast,
and were landed on that barren. uninhabitable. des-
olate and shadelesl shore, and that the boatman who
engaged to go for them failing to do so, the poor
creatures were there imprisonedlike so many female
Robinson Crusoes, with nary a man Friday in
hailing distance. News has reached as that the
poor creatures, scorched with the sun and half fam-
ished with hunger,posltively dropped hoops,and sans
shoes and slippers, actually waded into the briny
deep and fished up clams with their little tocses to
sustain their fainting natures. It is all over with
Detroit, and he has been advised to take the overland
route home, via. the Northern Lakes. I feel sorry
for the poor fellow. (for I was single once myself,
you know, dearest Lucinda,) and I can feel for him.
I don‘t believe that he premeditated, and got it up
on purpose, as some of the party charge, although
he owns that he was aware that their entire store of
provisions consisted of one cracker in a lady’s pock-
et, and that he nibbled away half of that, before he
landed them from the Schooner’s yawl. It was grat-
ifying to us all to hear that they finally succeeded in
hailing an Oysterman, and got safely home some
time before sunset.
You know they got Byington to go with us as far
as New Haven, and as the day was pleasant and the
wind light, I must say we had a very delightful time
of it. I couldn't help feeling and though, every time
I thought that for the first time since we were mar-
ried, I had, like a barbarian, wilfully torn myself
away from you to be absent a whole week .’ Oh, what
an age of suspense! What an unenduruble eternity
of time! Well, as I was saying, before they landed
him at Upson‘s Savln Rock House (by the way, Lu-
cinda, this is one of the most charming spots in the
country. and if I live to get home we’ll bundle up the
baby and go over there.) I overheard them telling him
that he must fix up a good story about the exchrsion
for the home market, and I have no doubt he will have
his paper full of the exquisite joys of a “ Life on the
Ocean Wave.“ But I am determined, dear Lucinda,
that you at least shall know the truth about this fish-
ing business, though you musn't ever breathe 9. word
that I have let it out, as they would instantly expel
- slekthemselves, .
did. I think now that I had all—yes, several ars—
in quick succession. The first inhalation! had, I

But, Lucinda Jane, my sorrows ain‘t half been
