CEMEN '1' ROOFING.
THIS 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 2
lst—It is fire and water proof.
2(l—From its great elasticity it is not inju-
riously affected by extremes Of heat and c'old.
lid—It is adapted tO all kinds of Roofs,
whether steep or flat, and is not. in want of
consttmt 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. -
It is readily applied to Old Shinglc‘lloof‘s,
without removing the shingles, which is a
great desideratum tO parties ivho do not wish
to risk having their ceilings and furniture ru-
ined, while repairs are being made.
'Lcaky Tin and Metal Roofs are readily rc-
paircd with Gotta 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 Nor-walk.
All orders b letter will receive prompt at—
tention. 1’5. F. HUNT, South Norwalk.

THE EVERGREEN.
BY GEORGE P. MORRIS.
Love cannot be the aloetrcc,
Whose bloom but once is seen ;
Go search the grove—the tree of love
Is sure the evergreen :
For that’s the same, in leaf or frame,
’Ncath cold or sunny skies ;
You take the ground its roots have bound,
Or it. transplanted, dies !
That love thus shoots, and firmly roots
In woman’s heart, we see ;
Through smiles and tears in after years
It grows a fadelcas tree.
The tree of love, all trees above,
Forever may be seen,
In summer’s bloom, or winter’s gloom,
A hardy evergreen.

THE DISTANT SHORE.
Our barks are drifting onward :
All noiselessly they glide
Upon Time’s restless ocean——
Out on the rushing tide.
The blue waves dash around us,
And loud the billows roar,
‘ But rainbows wreath with beauty
The far-off distant shore.
There friends are waiting for us.—
The loved, the tried, the true ;
But Time’s frail misty curtain
Now hides them from our view.
They've reached the quiet harbor——
Not lost, but gone before-
And now-they wait to greet us,
Upon the distant shore.
We’ve watched their peaceful life-barks
Glide from our sight away,
And dark the shadows lengthened
Around our hearts to play.
A gentle sister’s left us,
. A mother smiles no more ;
But oh! we hope to meet them
Upon the distant shore.
Life has its days of sadness,
Its bright hopes and its fears ;
Life has its smiles and sunshine,
Its cares, and griefo, and tears.
But in that better country -
All sorrow will be o’er ;
Each day our barks are drifting
Nearer the distant shore.
0 l ye whose skies are clouded,
Whose sails are temptest-riven,
A brighter day awaits thee—
“There‘s rest for thee in heaven.”
Look up 1 the sun is shining.
Though fast the rain-drops pour ;
And list ! there’s music floating
Out from the distant share.
And ye, whose hearts are thrilling,
With hope, and joy, and love,
Who soil on life’s broad ocean,
With clear, bright skies above,
0 turn to cheer the weary,
Swift play the silver oar,
.And point life’s weary voyager
To the bright distant chore.

THE RIVER PATH.
BY JOHN G. WEIT’I‘IER.
Io bird-song floated down the hill,
The tangled bank below was still ;
No rustle from. the birchen stem,
No ripple from the water‘s hem.
The dust of twilight round as grew,
We felt the falling of the dew ;
For, from us, ere the day was done,
The wooded hills shut out the sun.
But on the river’s farther side
We saw the hill-tops glorified—
A tender glow, exceeding fair,
A dream of day without its glare.
With us the damp, the chill, the gloom ;
With them the sunset’s rosy bloom ;
While dark, through willowy vistas seen,
The river rolled in shade between.
From out the darkness where we trod
We gazed upon those hills‘of God,
Whose light seemed not of moon or sun.
We spake not, but our thought was one.
We paused, as iffrom that bright shore
Beckoned our dear ones gone before ;
And stilled our beating hearts to hear
The voices lost to mortal earl
Sudden our pathway turned from night ;
The hills swung open to the light ;
Through their green gates the sunshine showed.
A long, slant splendor downward flowed,
Down glade and glen and bank it rolled:
It bridged the shaded stream with gold ;
And, borne, on piers of mist allied
The shadowy with the sunlit side!
“So,” prayed we, “when our feet draw near
The river, dark with mortal fear,
And the night comcth, chill with dew,
0h, Father l—lct thy light break through !
So let the hills ofdoubt divide,
So bridge with faith, the sunless tide!
So let the eyes that fail on earth
0n thy eternal hills look forth ;
And in thy beckoning angels know
The dear ones whom we loved below i

A WESTERN AnT CRITICISM.—-A corres-
pondent of the Buffalo Courier narrates the
following shrewd criticism, passed by a rough,
Western man on ,the'“Prairie Picture," by
Beard, the well-known artist of that city:
“A few mornings ago, as I was standing
admiring—,as I confess myself quite fond of
doing—that beautiful deer group, a tall, un-
mistakeable western man came up behind
me, and looked over my shoulder. I noticed
at once the quick stoppage of breathing
which always follows admiration, but, to my
surprise, the stop was short, and something
like a laugh quickly succeeded. Looking up
I saw a yellow face overs reading with .a
smile, and there was a deci d twinkle in the
e e.
‘Pshaw,’ said he, ‘that’s no pictur, after all.
That ain’t no fair representation.’
‘Why,’ said I, ‘that struck me as being a
pretty good 'ainting.’
‘May be itg good ehough for a painting,’
said the western man, ‘I on’t say anything
agin that , but there never was no scene en-
acted like it. Just look at that tall rice grass
up there, and the fern weeds below—who ev-
er saw'them grow together ? Why, the one
ows on dry and the other on wet land.—
at that’s pretty wet land,’ he continued,
‘and just see them deers’ feet, how clean
they be. They ought to bc mud up to the
knees, and at the gait they’re goin at, they’d
be spotted with mud all over. I tell ye,
when I went to that coun first, the men
skeered me sometimes dri ng on to a wet
prairie, but th ’d tell me‘ it was all right;
and sure enoug , I would find a good bottom
a foot down. And then the next thin I
know’d, the would be ving a pretty w de
berth to a p see that 100 ed at first si ht ex-
actly like the tother, and I soon than an ea-
sy way to tellwas by the grasses.’ . - .
‘If any-0’ ya know that painter chap,’ said
the unconscrously keen critic, as he prepared
to move Off, ‘jest tell him, but it’s no use,‘ he
said, loWering his voice, ‘that’s a good enough
city prairie.’ ' ‘
.

ark, N. J ., has been completed. The total
population is 72,655, which shows an increase
of ninetyiqper cent. during the past ten years.
In 1830 ewark contained only 10,950 inhab-
itants; in 1840, 17,290; and m 1850 about

OGDEN, Sept. 9, 1856.

Daaa Sm,—I will take the situation you
offer me on the terms proposed As you
know, it will be my first experience in a
public school 3 but I will do what I can.
”fours trul
’ Ilium: BLAGDEN.”
The letter would have gone to the long
home of business-epistle many a month ago
but for a circumstance which occurred in
course Of the fourth week. An event having
no bearing upon the letter, a's such, but upon
the engagement of which it was the clincher.
The school proved to be a turbulent one.
The district formed a part of a rough country
town in Western Pennsylvania where the
Dutch population was being perpetuated in
genuine Dutch boys and girls of all sizes.
- At first Mr. Blagden tried the milder meth-
ods- Carrying himself with composure and
dignity, be overlooked every offence which it
was possible to ignore, substituting remon-
strance for correction, and trusting to his own
cquanimity, and the better sense of his pupils
to bring about a gradual change in the tem.
per of the school.
At the end of the second week he became
conscious of rather a brief supply of patience.
The fact is, the fullest reservoir will run dry
at length, under never-ending leakages.
. “ I think I shall have to take some of the
big boys down a notch or two before long.
This was said at the breakfast-table.
“You don’t look much like doin’ it,” said
the head of the family.
“Why not?”
“ I should say you didn’t weigh more’n a
hundred an’ twenty to Bill Stokcs’ hundred
an’ fifty, an' Tom Troop’s hundred an’ sixty,”
rejoined the satirical host. .
Mr.Blagden expressed the opinion that some
things were better than weight.
“What '3" .
“Why, science and stimulus.”
“Science is a good thing, I’ll ’l‘ow; but as
for stimulus, the less of that you drink the
better. Whiskey makes a man think he can
whip all creation; but he can’t do half so
much as he can without it.” Better let your
‘stimulus’ alone."
“I mean the stimulus Of determination—
fhe stimulus a man’s brain put into his mus-
cles.”
Mr. Carrutbers shook his head dubiously.
“ Don’t know any thin’ about that; but you’d
betterlook out for them boys. They’s des’-
pratc fellers." Afterward Mr. C., happening
to look up, noticed a certain something in
Blagdcn’s eyes and about his mouth that
made him think he might have underrated
the proWess of the young master. The fact
is, Blagdcn had forgotten his breakfast for
theiustant and was going through the fight in
imagination.
The third week went by without any deci-
ded rupture. One thing was becoming clear,
however. The milder methods were failing
in their effect upon a certain portion of the
school. While the majority were catching
the spirit of self-respect, were being made
better and self governing, a few were left up«
on whom these influences were quite power-
less. They must be met with otherweapons.
It was now the fourth week. In the mid-
dle of the forenoon, when the tap of the bell
had suggested the first movement of the first
class in practical arithmetic, Bill S cs sat
doggedly in his seat, looking up un r his
eyebrows with a pair of eyes containing a.
large quantity of devil.
“Take your place in order, William.”
“I won’t.”
The master saw that this was the point of
conflict between himself and two or three
rather desperate and powerful charaCters.—
The unruly boys began to wink and nudge
each other. The girls turned pale. The
smaller scholars began to cry.
A wave of his hand seated the class which
had risen to advance.
“ Come forward, William.”
The stout fellow came into the floor.
“Did you intend to disobey me ‘2”
“Yes.”
Will you not be governed by the rules of
the school?"
“Not by a darned sight.” The Other boys
laughed at this specimen of brilliant in-
solencc. -
“ There is the door, sir.”
“No’ you don’t. I’m goin’ to pound you
into a jelly fust ;" and Bill Stokes turned up
his sleeves about his brawny wrists.
The young master remembered where his
was; and so turning to the big boys of the
school he asked, “Fair play or foul ?”
“Fair play,” said the chorus.”
Thereupon Bill Stokes drew himself back,
and leveled a heavy blow, which, being
dodged by the master, only cut the air. The
next moment he was flat on the floor. The
contest was not very unequal, however, for
the big boy was dogged and tough.
It is slightly difficult to carry one's self
with perfect self possession through a contest
of this nature; for a stinging rap in the face
is a powerful quickener Of the will, adding
not a little to the species of “ stimulus” to
which Blagden had referred in the morning.
He may have carried the war too far. Per-
haps he pursued his advantage, after having
virtually conquered. At any rate, a young
girl sprang from her seat and rushed between
them, clasping the master's arms and burst-
ing into tears. The young man’s muscles re-
laxed, and rising from his prostrate antago-
nist, he lifted the girl to her feet, and became
Calm again. . .
This contest settled the question of supre-
macy. The young master thought it best,
\however, to follow it up with a definiteness
and strictness Of rules. Hence, the next
morning, he quietly announced that whisper-
ing was theaceforth forbidden, and that the
penalty of a single violation would be a feral-
ing upon the hand. '
Two hours passed in great quictude.
“Buzz-z-z,” from a ‘corner‘ of the room.
“Who whispered ?” '
No\answer.
The master became stem.
“The scholar that whispered then will come
forward and be punishe ." '
Sweeping his eye across that portion of the
school room, he could not positively detect
the culprit. A pale, half sickly'looking face
looked paler than usual, but it could not be
her. One face was flushed and anxious, but
it might be fear for a friend. one little girl
began to cry; and one—the peacemaker of
the preceding day—sat and looked into his
eyes with a very strange expression, but it
couldn’t be Mira; and the master felt a sink-
ing at the heart as the possibility flashed up-
“The pupil who broke the rule will come
forward and be punishet .”
It was the master’s turn to tremble now;
for Mira, looking like anything but a culprit
-—-palc, but with a sort of radiance in her
sweet face, rose in her seat, and walked down
the aisle.
‘ Poor Mr. Blagden! When Bill Stokes
stalked out into the floor on the previous
day, the master had half relished the pros-
pective conflict. But here was Mira, the
light and life of that village school—Mira!
unclasping the pale girl’s arm from her little
round waist and coming easily down the aisle
the little pink-spotted lawn rising under her
throat with the least perceptible flutter, and
her eyes fixed on the master with a look
which went to his soul, Mira!
Mr. Blagden drew a deep breath, felt the
blood forsaking his face, and rushing eddying
about his heart. He looked about the school
room—Every eye was upon him.
Mira held out her hand, and the drapery
sleeve Of the pink lawn fell away from an
arm such as artists watch for. It was a little
hand, white, light, velvety. The master held
the tips of the taper fingers and lifted the
ferule. While he poised the instrument in the
breathless hush, the little hand twitchcd once
with the least possible nervousness. His eye
forsook the hand and followed along the
wrist, down the arm to the elbow. He now
glanced at the little round waist, and then
into the eyes. It was a dangerous journey
for those eyes of his. The femle camedown
from its cyrie without touching the hand.
“Take your seat Mira."
The master stepped to his desk and tapped
the bell. The books were put into their
places. Another tap and the pupils defiled
from the room. The pale girl lingered by
the desk, and while they were marching out
murmured through her sobs. ‘
“It was me who whispered.”
H You !”
Yes, me; and Mira didn’t whisper a bit."
Blagden sat at his desk when the school-
room was empty and still, and wrote Mr.
Carruthers another letter.
“Dear Sir :—I resign my situation’to-da .
Yours truly, N'K BLAGDEN.’
And then he wrote another:
“Mira, my good and noble pupil I am going
away. I shall not teach any more any where
I shall come and see you by and by, if you
will not forget your teacher while he is gone.
FRANK BLAGDEN."
Mira did not forget him while he was gone
as he knew very well, when he came back,
the moment he saw her face and felt the flut-
ter of her little hand.
When he asked Mira to give him that little
hand she was still along time, but at last
looked up with an arch smile and tears, and
said: “Won't you ferule it ?” ‘

ABRAHAM LINCOLN as A LAWYER—HIS
characteristics as an advocate, are an earnest-
ness and sincerity of manner, and a direct-
ness, concisencss, and strength of style; he
appears at other times, to use the weapons
of good-humored ridicule as ably as thcheav-
ier arms Of forensic combat. He is
strongest in civil cases, but in a crim-
inal case that enlists his sympathy he is also
great. It is then that the advocate’s convic-
tions, presented to the jury in terse and forci-
ble, yet eloquent language, sometimes out-
weighs the charge of the Judge. Juries listen
to him, and concur in his arguments; for his
known truth has preceded his arguments,
and he triumphs. There may be law and evi-
dence against him, but the beliet'that Lincoln
is right, nothing can shake in the minds of
those who know the man. .

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION Dam—Congress
passed an act in 1845, “to establish‘a uniform
time for holding elections for electors of the
Union. This act fixes the election on the
“Tuesday next after the first Monday in the
month of November," which this year is the
6th day of the month. All the electors must
be appointed on that day, except in case of
filling of vacancies in the Electoral College,
or where a State has failed to effect an elec-
tion on the day designated.

WThe Aroostook (Me.) Herald says:
“We heard a conversation the other day be-
tween a Breckinridge man and an old em-
ocrat who vowed his intention of voting for
Lincoln. ‘I’vc always been a Democrat, and
I’ve been reading and studying, and I have
come to the conclusion that the Democratic
party don’t stand where it did in' 1850, and
’m going to vote for “Honest Old Abe."—
'Yes, and tcheated,’ says the Bunker,”—
‘Well, coo y replied the other, ‘I voted for
Pierce and for Buchanan, and got awfully

humbugged the third time. I had as lief be
cheated once by the Republicans, as all the

A SOUTHERN Comma IN New Yours—The,
following, which the New York COuricr and
Enquirer editorially endorses as a true nar-
rative, shows that there is an undercurrent of
the right sentiment flowing through the
South, which is sure to prevail over all Oh-
stacles whenever the public exigencies shall
require it:
“About: of our hotels very recently, a
Southern gentleman—one of the largest slave-
holdcrs of the South—was quietly wcnding
his way to bed, when some half dozen of his
acquaintances from the same state, demanded
his presence while they counselled upon the
necessity of taking immediate measures for
organizmg a Southern Confederacy upon the
election of Liu'coln. Hc combatted their fol-
ly, and insisted that Lincoln’s election would
be the most fortunate event for the South
that could possibly occur, because in his
judgment the success of any Republican can-
didate would, within six months after his in-
auguration, forever put an end to slavery ag-
Ifation. .
The rights of the South, he insisted, would
be far safer in the hands Of such men as Sew-
ard or Lincoln, than'they ever had been un-
der the Democratic rule; because, while they
would necassarily prevent the extension of
slavery into free territory, they would scru-
pulous] stand by all the constitutional rights
of the s ave States, and exercise a moral in-
fluence at the North favorable to a faithful
execution of the fugitive slave law, and ad-
verse to the interference of a handful of
troublesome abolitionists, whose incendiary
character was disgusting to Republicans, at
the same time that scheming democratic lead-
ers privately encouraged their interference
with the South in order to foster slavery cx-
citement. He insisted, therefore, that Lin-
coln’s election would be a great national bles-
sing, and peculiarly beneficial to the South,
as the harbinger of the return of peace and
and harmon in its relations with the North,
and as calcu ated to terminate forever all sec-
tional controversies, by getting rid of corrupt
and selfish political leaders, who find their
interest in fostering sectional feeling at the
South by deceiving the people in regard to
the intentions and purposes of the Republi-
can party.
The conversation waxed warm, and was
continued late in the night, when finally, one
of the disuuionists remarked, “Lincoln will
no doubt be elected; but thank God he will
not be able to organize his government, be-
cause no Southerner will bc permitted to
take office under him. IVho, for, instance,
would dare to be Collector for the port of—?”
This "roused the patriotism of the friend of
the Union. “I am not in the habit of boast-
ing of my intentions or of my wealth," was
the reply, “but you will concede that I have
more at stake in the county than all of you
combined, and you know how little it would
suit my habit to take office. But mark my
words—as soon as Lincoln is inaugurated, I
will send him a letter apprising him of this
conversation, and of my willingness, if" nec-
essary, to accept of and faithfully discharge
the duties of the office of Collector of ,un-
til such time as his constitutional adminisrra-
tion of the government shall forever put an
end to this insane cry of disunion because of
imaginary grievances which existonlyin the
brains of reckless, selfish and unprinciplcd
Inlitical leaders. And permit me to add thatfin
my judgment, within six months after Lin-
coln’s inauguration, each and all of you will
be most willing if not anxious to hold oflicc
under him. Good night."
ML. LINCOLN‘s FORESIGHT.—On0 of Mr.
Lincoln’s biographcrs relates an interesting
instance of his political sagacity. He had
triumphantly answered that set of interroga-
tions which Douglas had calculatccl' would
crash him, and had made up his mind that
his antagonist should be presented with a
collecfion. His plan was to rnm'pcl him by
public interrogation to repudiate either the
Dred Scott decision or the doctrine of un-
friendly legislation in the territories. Before
the discussion commenced at Frecport, Mr.
Lincoln informed his friends of his intention.
They unanimously counseled him to aban-
don his purposc, “for,” said they, “if you put,
that question to him he will perceive that an
answer giving practical force and decision to
the Dred Scott decision in the Territories in—
evitably loses him the battle, and he will
therefore reply by affirming the decision as
an abstract principle, but by denying itsprac-
tical application.” “But,” said Mr. Lincoln,
“if he can never be President.” His friends
replied, “that is not your look out, you are
after the Swarm-ship.” “N o, gentlemen,”
said he, “I «on. (after larger game. . The battle
Of 1860 is worth a hundred of this!" From
the day Mr. Douglas promulgated his (loc-
trinc of “unfriendly legislation” to save him-
self in Illinois, he was a doomed man in all
the South, and the “battle of 1860" was won
for the Republicans, though Mr. Lincoln of
course could not know that he was to be
their gallant leader. ‘

“Until recently, the defence of Slavery has

apologists, (for they were more apolooists)
took halfway grounds. They confined the
defence of slavery to more negro Slavery,
thereby giving up the slavery principle, ad-
mitting other" forms of slavery to be. wrong.
The line of defence is now changed. The
South maintains that Slavery is right, natu-
ral and necessary, and does not depend upon f
difference in complexion. The laws of the
Slave States justify the holding of white
men in bondage.”
