CEMENT ROOFING.
THIS article has been thoroughly tested by
builders, Architects, and others, and the
experience ot‘ycars has proved it to be the
cheapest and most durable roofing m use.
’We call attention to the following 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.
3(l—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—The cost is only about One-Half that
of Till, and it is twice as durable.
t 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 roof
for many years.
Specimens of the. Roofing can be seen by
calling on the subScriber, at South N orwalk.
All orders b ' letter will receive prompt at-
tgntion. . F. HUNT, South Norwalk.

Igazed down life’s dim labyrinth,
A wildcring maze to see,
Crossed o’er by many a tangled clew, 0
As wild as wild could be ;
And as I gazed in doubt and dread,
An angel came to me.
I knew him for a heavenly guide,
I knew him even then,
Though meekly as a child he stood
Among the sons of men-
By his deep spirit loveliness,
I knew him even then. .
And as I laid my weary head
Upon his proffered breast,
And scanned the peril-hunted wild.
From out of my place of rest,
I wondered if the shining ones
Of Eden, were more blessed. a
For there was light within my soul,
Light on my peaceful way,
And all around the blue above
The clustering starlight lay ; 9
And easterly I saw upreared
The pearly gates of day.
So liandjn hand we trod the wild
My angel love and I,
Ills lifted wing all quivering
With tokens from the sky ;
Strange my dull thought could not divine
"has lifted but to fly.
Again down lifc‘s dim labyrinth
I grope my way alone,
While, wildly through the midnight sky,
Black, hurrying clouds are blown ;
And thickly in my tangled path,
The sharp, bare thorns arc sown.
Yet firm my foot, for well I know
The goal cannot befu,
And ever through the'rit‘ted clouds,
Shines out one steady star-
For, when my guide went up, he left
The pearly gates alar.

FREEDOM OP THE PRESS.
The editor of a Western paper lately offered his
but as a prize for the best poem on “The Freedom
of the Press." The beaver was awarded to his own
"devil" for the following spirited effusion:
Around her waist I put my am,
She felt as soft as cake—
She said, "Oh dear, what liberties
You printer-men do take 1"
Why, yes, my Sal, my charming gal, .
(I squeezed her some, I gonna)
Can you say ought, my chick, against
The Freedom of the Press 2
I kissed her some—I did by gum ;
She colored like a beet—
Upon my loving soul she looked
Just sweet enough to eat.

Said she, “I do confess,

Origin of a Title.
Mr. James Gallagher is well known in this
city, and throughout the State, as “the tal-
ented young Irishman.” The origin of this
title may not be generally known to our
readers, and as it is of some interest just now,
we propose to relate it, promising that all
matters of the kind relating to public men
are public matters: therefore we violate no
“sanctuary" in its publication. .
During the Pierce campaign of 1852, Sen-
ator Mallory of Florida, and the HomCollln
M. Ingersoll and Mr. Gallagher, of this city,
met at Stamford one evening to address the
.uuterrified upon the political question of the
day. Mr. Mallory was to 'speak first, to be
followed bv- Mr. Ingersoll, Mr. Gallagher to
close up the ball. ' .
Now Mr. Mallory had spoken with Mr.
Ingenoll two or three times before, and had
heard his speech time after time till he had
learned it by heart. Stamford being asmall
place, and Mr. Mallory being (perhaps) shun
of ideas, besides being fond of a joke, he
thought he would take Mr. 1. down a peg in-
two, and he rattled off—horror of horrors to
the Honorablegentlemau—his own Speech!
Ingersoll and Gallagher sat back on the
platform and listened to the speech. “Gul-
lagher,” sa Ingersoll, “Mallory's giving my,
speech ! but shall I do 1’” °
“Give ’em another!" say Gallagher, in the
honesty of his heart. ‘
“ I haven‘t another! says Iugersoll; “1
can’tdo it! That’smy muym. '
So, presently, when Mallory got through,
and “the Hon. Mr. Ingenoll of New Haveu'
was announced, that gentleman arose and
said that he was himself so suddenly indis-
posed as to be unable to speak, but'he gave
way with great pleasure, as hetwus to be fol-
lowed by Mr. James Gallagher, “the talented
young Irishman fi'om New Haven I”
And that is how Gallaghergot his title.

———In the Alabama Senate, the Hon. Mr.
Bullock, urging the adoption of disunion res-
olutions, said :
“If the, South should delay and wait for
an overt act, veual papers and men would
spring up in the South within a short time to
advocate giving a fair trial to the Black Re-
publican administration, and to hold office
under it. The policy of that administration
would be to give more offices to Southern
than to Northern men. It would be shrewd
enough to work in such a way as to keep the
South divided, and prevent Southern unity.
It would not commit any other act.”

The Cottage out of Town. '
.A—
BY B. P. SHILLABER.
The firm of Wilkins & Watkins. was very
smart and enterprising—none. better in the
town where they were located. .They were
both fine fellows—one married and one sf lc.
They were very much alike in size, on in
taste, regarding dress one was the counterfeit
of the other. They had been together so
long too, that their manners assimilated. Did
a customer come in and address Watkins as
Wilkins, or Wilkins as Watkins, the anSWer
was an exact fac simile of what the one for
whom the question was intended would have
given. And so thin s were When the scene
to which our story re tcs transpired.
It was a chilly October. afternoon that Wil-
kins 8: Watkins, having transacted a good
forenoon’s work, went their to respective din-
ners—Watkins to the bosom of his family.—
Watkins was a happy. man in this re d.—
He had a pretty little wife and everyt fng as
sung as snug could be. He was as sure of a
warm welcome as he was of a warm dinner,
which he had ordered as he came along.—
He knew as well as he wanted to, that a '
of white arms would be thro aroun his
neck as he opened the front 001', and per-
haps, he thought, J ulia’s—that was his wife’s
name—sister might be there to take dinner

mother had dropped in to take pot luck with
them :-—in either case a great pleasure. So
he went along humming to himself the new
air— _
“The dearest spot on earth to me
Is home, street home."
Mr. Wilkins was a single man, and rather
prided himself on being so. He went tovhis
hotel with a swi'n ing gait; bowing occasion-
ally ' as some fami iar face met his view, and
smiling very sweetly upon such young ladies
of the number as he chanced to know. He
. was}; very gallant young man, and had-the
, reputation of being a' very great favorite
’ among the, fair ladies of the place, by whom
he was regarded as a very, eligible match?

: at ’i'ns‘was' not disappointed. . Ou arriv-
ing at his home he was met at the door by
the bright face that had met him for theyear
that had transpired since their housekeeping
days. and the warm arms enclosed his neck
like in parenthesis, and the warm lips hubs
peculiar smak to it in the little dark entry-way
. where he hung his top coat.
They were alone, and she told him all the
domestic incidents that had transpired during
the day around home, of which there are al-
ms so many—about the maiden aunt who
come. into town to do some shopping,
and What a. grand laugh she had about her
beating dewn the shop keeper, and giving
him twice as much, after all, as the purchase
was worth,—-aud how a blind beggar woman
came to the door with alittle girl leading her.

the pear woman invok a blessing on her,

. in the happiness she had received-and about
the organ grinder, and the little peddler with
the.buttons, and the new servant at the par-
sonage who threw the potato pariugs into the
well, What a story there was to tell about
everything- and how pleasant] Watkins sat
and islcn , all the while the inner was be-
ing eaten, with the keenest relish, Watkins
never had achieved a meal that was more
cherful, and after dinner, as he kissed his little
rosy wife for a desert, he averred that he
did not believe a happier dog than himself
existed in a good many day’s journe . He
even ventured to say that he thought Wilkins
was standing fearfully in his own light in not
getting married, and hinted gravely that he
must give him a talking to.
“ J ulia," said he, “one of my gloves has a
rent in it, which I wish you would repair;
you don’t want our husband to look shabby
you know. on will find it in tin: right
pocket of my coat.”
She like a very dutiful, beautiful wife that
she was, went to the coaths it hung on its
peg in the entry; and reaching down into the
pocket to find the glove, she touched some-
thing of the paper kind that decided] to her
touch resembledd aletter. She too it. out
with the glove, and as her work basket was
up stairs she thou ht she would mend the
rent there while gWatkins was enjoying
his newspaper. It was curiosity—a passion
that has clung around poor humanity with a
ertinacious strength from the beglnning—
hat prompted her to take the letter, at
when;alone with herself she reflected before
she opened it, and laid it on the table. She
proceeded to meudthc glqustill thinking of
the letter, asking her-sci should she open it?
—feariug it would be wron'gto do so, and at
last determined that she would. It was a let
ter of which the envelope had been destroyed
and _a.glance at the first e assured her that
it was in a female hand. t that instant her
husband’s foot was heard upon the stair, and
placing the letter under her basket, she ve
him his love, and he went away, bid iug
her 00d ye. . '
“ e is a dear soul,” she said, “ and it
is almost like doubting him to read his let-
ter. But of course it cannot be anything he
would not want me to see—of course not,”
and with this reflection she took the letter in,
her hand again. _
The first glance caused her to turn deadly
pale: and in an instant, the mere suggestion
of idle curiosity had become transferred into
intense interest,her eyes were fixed withastor.
n glare upon the paper,her form trembled vi-
0 ently a the poor th' came nigh swoouiug
underline pressure offee ' that overpowere
her. There was a letter written in a, female
hand to her husband, beginning with—“My
dear, dear, dear W.,”
alone, Anna.” The letter was of the ; most
tender, character, burning all up with-its own
fervor,“ glowing with lovin intensity, and
proposing a meeting at a little cottage just
out of town, the next day—the evening of the
day following that on which she made the
discovery. She was wild with the pay
siou the discovery awakened She patted
her littlefoot on the carpet,she crumpled the
letter in. her hand, she cried like a child, and
would have screamed robably, had she not
been restrained by the tent idea of the ab-
little hands, till the nails almost out her
palms, and at length resolved, as any other
woman of spirit would have done, to has
third part at interview in the cottage, whose
location a e well knew, from the fact that Mr.
Watkins had admired it once as they were
riding W it. ,
Mr. atkins walked back to the store in a
mood of mind the most complacent, little
dreaming of the tempest that was raging
round his fleasant home, smashing his house-
hold goods into irremedial ruin. “ Insatiate
Watkins, would not one suffice ?” Watkins
came back late to the store, and, after idling
around for about an hour, said he had an en-
gagement and went away again. The after-
uoon passed, and Watkins leftanhourearlier
than usual, giving the clerk to understand
that he was going home. Ah, , Watkins !—
perhaps if we were to look into that heart
throbbing beneath its encasement of broad
cloth, we should find it black with duplicity
-—perhaps, Watkins, the vows and protests-
tions thou has made to that pretty little wife
at home may at this time be as far below par
as Pewabli shares or Ogdensburg second
mortgage bonds—perhaps even now the ob-
ject nearest thy heart is this perfidious meet-
ing “ yours alone" in the little cottage outside
the town—and perhaps not.
Mr. Watkins went out.
Towards the close of the afternoon a little
woman, hooded and veiled, might have been“
seen hastily walkingl thro h the streets of
the town where the case 0 WilkinsobWah
kins was located,aud her ste were evidently
directedtowards the outer l to of the town.
Could the disguise which concealed her have
etrated,and the purpose with which
filled the brain of that hooded littlefigure have
been read,a certain pretty cottage in the out-
skirts would have been found to belts stimu-
laugaud a certain James Watkinswhoso ears
were to ring with her rcpt-caches... It was
Mrs. Watkins-a-that much outraggd woman
eaud herlndignation was earnest and com-
plete. The distance, however, from home—

.-real article,l mean;as different from the spuri-

ling influence over all feel ngs of the human
mind-except love,which nothing can change .
I- have consulted proper authorities on this
point, a am sustained in saying that love—the
ous sort, as the bottled cider they sell at shops
is from the pure apple-juice—never changes.
Fatigue worked a change in the temper of
her anger, and by the time she arrived in
sight of the cotta e, she felt-more like crying
than scolding, an sittin down upon a stone
in the gatheringhdusk, s e indulged in a few
tears, deeming erself about as wretched a
little woman as could be imagined. She felt
very lone] , and any one seeing her thus,
who won] not be disposed to cowhide per-
fidious Watkins, must be devoid of chivalry
indeed.
A light gleamed from the window of the
cottage for a moment, and a beautiful fi re,
was seen to drawn the curtain. Mrs. at-
kin’s the quasi widow, who felt as if she had
already embarked on her solitary voyage
over the waves of time, looking back to a
pleasant bay,brim full of light-houses, for her
bark had been swept away by the ruthless
gale of man’s falsehood—started up and felt
new resolution stealing into her little heart
as she gazed on the form of one she was con-
vinced washer rival. She dried her tears
with her renewing strength, and stood look-
ing at the house—at. the window—where the
light still shone upon the curtain. A mo-
ment after, and a chaise drove past where
she stood and stopped before the door. She
saw the man get out and secure the horse to
a post, and the door opening upon the in-
stant, a flood of light from within, revealed
to her gaze the false man whose heart she
had deemed as her own exclusive property.
Ah Watkins l She saw him go up the stairs
thatled to the front door, and in a moment
more her ears were saluted with a volley of
sounds, denoting a welcome more warmthau
She was concealed from theii' view by the
shrubbery,aud the surprise was such that she
was irresolute for a moment how she should
act. She had failed to provide herself. with
a murderous weapon and hence a tragedy
was out of the question. There was. amid
the whirl of emotion that filled her, strange-
to say, no feeling of hatred for the false Wat-
kins. The re roach intended forhi'm shehad »
already trans erred to the woman she felt had
drawn him from his allegiance, but she could
not be brought to hate the man she loved so
well—that she felt she still loved, maugre all
his duplicity. The closing door left her
standing in the shadow—in mind as well as
in body.
Mrs. Watkin’s brought her body from out
the shadow; the shadow from her heart, like
the beak of the Raven in Mr. Poe’s poem,
would be lifted never more. As she stood
gazing upon the window, where she supposed
her infamous lord was sitting in guilty de-
fiance wtth his Delilah, a white hand reached
outside the curtain and raised the sash. As
the bee pounccs upon the Rose in June, as a
hen-hawk dashes among a flock of chickens,
as a horse-fly darts upon his prey, as a mos-
quite with an importunity thrusts in his
bill, so did Mrs. Watkins avail herself of the
opportunity of listening afforded by that open
sash, and she crouched by it as a cat might
be supposed to watch by a mouse-hole.—
There was a sound of tinkling glasses within
while soft voices modulated to a whisper,
said many tender and unintelligible things, a
word here and there of which alone she was
able to make out.
“What if my partner knew of this '2” she
heard him say.
Now that “partner" she knew meant her
and that moment she would have given all
the world not to know what she did, and all
the world to have kn0wn it provided she had
not.
“N o matter about your partner,” she heard
the female voice say pottishly, “think of me
now."
“Think of you ?” he replied; you are al-
Xays’ present in my thoughts by night and
ay.’ .
“Do you love me better than anyone else?"
the female voice asked.
“By those lips I vow that you are the one of
all others that I love.” .
And then followed sounds, as though, to
seal the vow he had made, he kissed the book
he swore by. This was too much for the
widow Watkins. She went to the front
door, turned the handle, which made no
noise, and stood in the entry. The light
streamed through the keyhole of the door of
the room in which the guilty ones were seat-
ed. She hesitated not a moment, but bursting
open the door violently, she stood in the snug
little illuminated parlor.
“Oh, James, J ames,” cried she in anguish
as she saw the two sitting on a sofa, he with
his arms around the woman's waist, and a
table set wrth luxurious regard for
cheer. She sunk into a chair, buried her
face in her hands, and indulged in another
meal of ief. .
“Mrs. atkins ?” cried the gentleman,start~ _
ing' to his feet. -
At the sound of his voice Mrs. Watkins
lifted up her face illuminated with is glad
surprise, and met the gaze of Mr. Wilkins,
]who. with a perplexed air, stood gazing upon
er. ‘ -
“To what are we indebted for this visit,
Mrs. Watkins i'” asked he, in a manner far
from delighted, and turnin to the lady, he
troduced Mrs. Green to rs. Watkins, very
formally. .
At once the shame ofher position broke in
on the mind of Mrs. Watkins. How could
she account satisfactoril for her being there.
How for the violence of er entrance ? How
for her excitement? But the honesty of her
nature would not allow her to excuse herself
by a falsehood and she told them with
many tears the whole story, not concealing
even the fact of the letter she found in her
husband's pocket. A light at this seemed to
break upon Wilkins, who stepped to the cor-
ner where his coat reposed, and holding up
the light to its pockets drew out several pa-
pers, on opening one of which it proved. to
be a bill of groceries against. James Watkins,
and the others of a kindred character against
the same peaceful individual.
“A slight mistake here,” said be: smiling;
“Watkins and I have changed costs, by
which means on have become possessed of
my letter; an I of his bills; and since you
have become acquainted with part of my
secret, I may as well tell you the whole, that
on Tuesda next I am to become the proprie-
tor of this ittlc cottage and its charming oc-
cu t—the widow.’
he widow blushed, but did not deny the‘
statement. .
Poor little Mrs. Watkins! overjoyed at
finding all her surmises blown to atoms, now
seriously thought of her deserted home, and
wondered what Watkins would think on
coming home and finding her absent. Wil-
kins’ horse was at the door, and Wilkins,
good-natured soul, left the widow with a
Homise of coming back soon” and placing
rs. Watkins in the chaise, he drove away
toward’s the Watkin’s home.
“What will he say? what will he say ?"
sobbed the poor little woman, as they drew
near.
“Be easy. my dear madam.” said be, “about '
that; he shall never learn from ,mo the se-
cret. Allow me to put on down here, when
you can go home, and lugs go onusbefore,
and he be nouetho wiserforit."
She at out of the ‘chaise and moved to-
wards er own door, wondering whether her
husband had t home, ., and whether he
wouldn‘t be a armed at her absence, or
.vmlently as she placed her little hand on the.
bell handle, and the thoughtg‘bhall 1 tell
him 1’" passed like ”lightning W her
mind, and the response We as (111' j y.
T bell rang, audtri‘ppiug lightly down
the 3 its she heard her husband a feetg‘ who
opening the door, recciv her in-his
“Where has my little wife been 1’" soaked,
as weaving his arms around her, he led her
into the parlor. f
A cheerful fire burned upon the hearth, and
sitting down b his side, she looked up into
jealousy, her resolution and its results, keep-
in nothing back except the , secret which
Weilkins had confided to her. Watkin’s
listened ravely, but kindly, and when she
had cone udcd, he drew her towards him with
a fender love than he had felt for her before
she was tempted, for he felt how much she
needed his aid in her weakness. .
And this should be the manner of receiv-
ing the confidence reposed in us. We should
not receive it in a spirit of harshness, and
repel the loving impulSe that draws the cr-
rin spirit towards our own. ' Did we prop-
per y understand and practice this, there
would be far less double-dealing in the world,
and more candor. Mrs. Watkins .decided
rightly, and he, like a true man, received her
confession rightfully. . .
Next morning he entered his counting-
his partner. It contained the mischievous
letter and the- words—“My dear sir: Your
secret is safe, but mine has become my hus-
band’s.” Wilkins showed the lines to Wat-
kins, and in order to remove the impression
of to story .that environed the matter, in the
min of his Cpartner, he confessed the widow,
and receive the congratulations of the hap-
py Watkins. -
.The next week’s “ Watchtower of Free-
dom and Palladium of Liberty” made the
following announcement—“Married, on Tues-
daylast at Elm Cottage, G. W. Wilkins,
Esq;, of the firm of Wilkins & Watkins, to
Mrs. Anna Green. relief. of the late Captain
Invisible Green, U. S. N. The happy couple

From the New York Willa-no.
NOW. REPUBLICANS.
Half the intervolt between the Chicago
Convention and the" Presidential Election
has passed, yet we have not, to this hour,been
impelled to stimulate or exhort to general or-
ganization on the part of the supporters of
incolu and Hamlin. We have preferred
that the canvass should be a quiet one, so
that, in the general decay and disruption of
old parties, the largest _ possible number of
minds should be open to the reception of
newl truths. Then the past three months
cover the busiest season of the year for our
farmers, and We have wished that devotion
to politics should not interfere essentially
with their Summer labors and the securing
of the ma ificent Harvest wherewith a
bounteous rovidencc has blessed their. ex—
ertions. In every point of view, it seemed
advisable that the earlier half of the canvass
of 1800 should be signalized, on the part of
the Republicans, by the quiet that springs
from conscious strength rather than the
frantic energy which betrays doubt if not
desperation.
But now the Summer harvest is substan-
tially ended, and there is a. less urgent call
upon the'Farmers, who are the strength and
heart of the Republican cause, for incessant,
absorbing labor. The long, hbt days are
passing away; the cool, bright evenings are
coming on. Those who cannot give days to
the canvass can at least give evenings; and
these will suffice. . We would have no man
neglect his proper business, nor give to poli-
tics the hours and efforts required to do 'jus-
tice to his creditors and earn the subsistence
of his family. There is no such conflict be-
tween public and private duties as such infi-
delity to the latter would imply; and he who
deserts his work and his home to go shouting
and singing at mass meetiutrs, in the blind
hope that an office, or some ucky accident,
will make all right, will very certainly be
disappointed. The best patriot is he who
knows how to be useful to his country with‘
out being unjust to his wife and children.
There are those who, giving a superficial
' glance at the general aspects of the canvass,
say—“ The Republican enthusiasm is dying
out: the party evinces far less energy in ’60
than it did in ’56." It is certainly true that,
where everything seemed moving quietly on
to certain triumph, our friends have put‘forth
less strenuous, less vehement efforts this sea-
son than they did four years ago. But, on
the other hand, never was our full strength
better polled out than in Connecticut last
April; never did any party exhibita grander
array of intellectual and numerical strength
than was displayed at the Chicago Conven-
tion ;' never was there a more magnificent as-
- semblagc of the masses than that which en-
veloped Springfield, 111., last week; never did
Republicanism win by determined energy
a nobler triumph than in the recent election
of Frank Blair. Twelve thousand votes
polled in the chief city of the Slave States
or a. prominent and uncompromising Eman-
cipationist, and the election of every man on
its Legislative ticket, form a triumph more
brilliant and auspicious than any single
that Lincoln and Hamlin will receive not one
less than Thirty Thousand Votes next No«
vember in Missouri, where hardly one was
cast for Fremont and Dayton, while Ten
Thousand more would be added if those
who want to vote for them in the Pro-Slave-
ry strongholds could do so with entire immu-
nity fi'om personal harm. As it is, few Re-
publicans save those living in cities and
large villages will venture to vote as they
would. But the flag is 1”planted, and will
stand; we shall carry issouri in 1864;
while Maryland, if her Republicans vote
their own ticket instead of lending their suf-
frages to those who will never thank them
therefor, will give at least Ten Thousand
votes this Fall for Lincoln aud'Hamlin. Her
German-born citizens alone are good for half
the number. Thus we pass the dead-point
in 1860, and can no more be reproached,with
even plausibility, as a “ geographical" or
“sectional” part . ' ‘
Then the “Disunion” bubble has been
pricked by the strifes of adverse factions, till
it has fallen into utter collapse and nothing-
uess.’ The Douglas party stigmatizes and re-
slots that of Breckenridge as “Secessionists"
.—that is. disposed to break up the Union
should Lincoln be elected. The Bell party .
does the same. Breckenridge repels the
stigma, asserting his unqualified devotion to
the Union. The supporters of Breckenridge
all but unanimously repel-the charge-of Se-
cession tendencies as columnious. Even
Yancey, it is said, is coming North to defend
himself and his clan from the charge of fa-
voring Disunion. Of course, he means Dis-
uniou in casc'he‘is beaten; for none ever did
wish the Union dissolved so long as they
could rule it. Keitt still talks Disunion; but
Orr says: “Nomi“ otheuStates go with us, "
which means—we all knowlwhat. John J.
Crittendeu scouts the idea of Disunion in
case of Lincoln’s election; and he is general-
ly supposed a man of $1.18 as much conse-
quence as Lawrence Keitt. Kentucky
has just gone heavily against herown Breck-
enridge, quite as much to emphasize her ab-
horrence ot Disuniou in any contingency as
on any other ground. In short, we may fair-
ly cunsider the Disunion spectre finally laid,
and the People restored to their natural llb-
ert of choosing for President whom they
wi l,'dcvoid of all apprehension . that some-
thing dreadful will happenii their chowe
(lliocs not coincide with that/of Yancey and
eitt.
