GEMEN 1' RCQ‘FINE’E.
' ‘iHIS article has been thoroughly ieslcd by
builders, Architects, and others, and the
experience of years has proved it to be the
cheapest and most durable roofing in use.
I’Ve call attention to the following facts :
lst—It is fire. and water proof.
fed—From its great elasticity ii is not inju-
riously affected by extremes ofhea‘t and cold.
3d——It is adapted to all kinds of Roofs,
whether steep or flat, and is not in warn of
constant repairs, as is the case with metal and
other roofs.
4th——Tlie cost is only about Ouc-ll::li‘ 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 desidcratum to palties 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 Rcofing can be seen by
calling on the subscriber, at South Norwulk.
All orders by letter will receive prompt at-
tention. D. F. HUNT, South Norwalk.

[VIENNR'L
Long hours ago, black night had thrown himself
Upon the Lake; not he of placid mein
And starry crown, whose robes of sable fringed
In dew and seamed with moonbeams, fiost so still ;_
Not he the poets love to watch, but one
Of fiercer cast, whose face was seowled in storm,
And o’er whose eyes dropped shaggy brows ofcloud.
Beneath his giant clasp the lake nowheoves
In death-like throes of fear. Her waves, as arms
She lifts, in pleading prayer for help. Her lips
0f foam, all pale, can only sob in vain.‘
The rain-drops fall like spears with muffled points,
In slanting likes from some dark battlement,
They come as ifin anger hurled.
Across
This battlefield, with proud, averaging steps,
A lordly champion, the steamer, comes.
Amid the struggling waves, smidthe night,
A conscious lord, it moves, regardless ’like
or both :—
Without the battles rages still.
Brightly gleam the cabin lamps.
Twinkling plush the dancing feet,
Ringing sounds the merry voice,
Music thrills with pulses sweet ;
Hear the hearty, jovial laugh,
Watch the smiles that rippling go
O’er the cheeks of maidens fair,
That have stole the rose's glow l . .‘
They have met for a revel, thezyoung and the old,
Joy throbs; through the veins that long have been
cold ; . '
The world is forgot, and the battle without,
The storm-cloud is drowned in tho; revelers’ shout.
Still they whirl, the happy throng,
Cares have all been thrown away,
Stet-nest men have now unbent,
Nature‘s night is Pleasuro's day.
Festive links have made them one,-
Rapture drains her chalice deep,
Cherubs stand with gilded wings, »
Hiding close the door to sleep.
Faster beats the music heart,
Faster waves of laughter dash ;
“0n till morn,"—“no rest shall come," -
"To break our festive"— '
Hark! a crash!
The lips grow pale, .
The laughter dies,
Dread marches in
Behind surprise.
The dancers stop—
Each fdot is still,
Each heart is cold
with terror-thrill.
Down, down they sink,
One shroud, one psll,
Ouecofiin ship
Has served for all.
t
Without the battle rages not,
For night
Has left his prey. But yet the waves that fought
All through those weary hours are moaning still,
Like cries of wounded men tneir voices sound,
Moan on, 0 waves-not for ourselves—
For those who sleep below ;
The young, the gay, who sank last night,
Into that grave of woe.
Moan for the bride who never more
Shall cheer our earthly home,
Moan for the husband, watching still
For her who will not come ;
Moan for the hearts made desolate,
The firesides robbed of light,
The chains whose scattered links
Can never here unite. E. E.

cautious, politic and wise course toward the
South. It cannot be in the natureof any.
man elevated to the Presidency, to wish to
see the government broken up under his ad-
ministration, the Republic dismembered, and .
the country plun ed- into civil war. Very
likely his great e ort will be to acquire pop- g
ularity in the Southern States and appease
their opposition, by a rigid adherence to the
Constitution, and respect for the rights of the
South. It is not at all improbable that the
South may find more firvors under the» elec-
tion of Lincoln than they have under any
Democratic administration. It may be that
Old Abe will go out of office quite a favorite
with the Southern people. At least we
should give him a trial.
The e ection of a President in conformity
with the Federal Constitution is no ground
whatever for breaking. up the Republic, no
matter how bitterly opposed to him we may
be. We must wait and decide on its acts and
measures; nothing else will justify us in the
eyes of the world, or in the opinions of our
own people—Mr. Perry, of South Carolina.

W The New York Tribune publishes an
article on pickpockets. It says it is not an
unusual thing for an expert to start from
New York, with scarcely any funds, travel,
directly through to New. Orleans. or some of
the Western cities, and immediately return
with sufficient funds to enable him to live in
idleness for several months. These are par-
ticularly afraid of the detectives, and will sel-
dom attempt a job when they know him to be
near. It frequently occurs that at places of
amusement a thief will present himself to a
detective who may be there, and beg to be
admitted. He promises faithfully not to
“wor ” the audience, and if the detective
wishes, he will wait until all the people are
out of thebuilding before taking his depar-
ture. If the oflicer grants him ermissiou
the thief pays his moue , goes inside, and
seats himself in an 0 re corner, from
whence he watches the performance with
He always keeps his promise faith-
fully, for he well knows that if any one of
the audience is robbed, the detectives will be
sure to arrest him immediately.

publish elsewhere two recantations, one by a
well-known Alderman of this city, and the
other by a candidate of the Douglas party of
Illinois for the office of Attorney General.—
Both declare that the prospects of Douglas
are hopeless, that the Democratic party is
in fact dissolved, and, and that Abraha

“Brother Fred, I’ve a favor to ask of you;"
and Lita Ross lifted. her pretty face with a
beseeching expression from a bouquet of
choice flowers she held in her small, jewelled
hand.
“ A favor to ask of me, sis ?” was the young
man’s reply. “One would think from your
serious, puzzled countenanbe, it 'was the first
one you had ever preferred, and you were
about to try an experiment.”
“ Well, it is a sort of experiment, Fred;
and before you give me an answer, I want
you to think, and not say, ‘0, yes, yes,’ as you
always do, and then not give it a second
thought."
“ Well, here goes, then,” replied the gay,
handsome young man',drawing an ottoman to
his sister’s feet, and seatinghimseif upon it,
With an elongated countenance, saying with
mock gravity, “ Your humble servant. And
now prOCeed to business, madam.” '
The young girl’s face assumed an earnest
expression as she clasped one of her broth-
er’s hands in both of her own, and said, while
the color burned up into her cheeks:
“ Fred, it is this-that you will drink no
more wine. I tremble whenever I see you
with the glass at your lips.” .
“ Well, now, Lita, child can you not trust
me, knowing 'my entire self-command, that I
have no natural tendency that way, and that
I only occasionally take a social glass when
in the society of my friends i” '
“I know it, Fred—I know all that; but
your influence is what I fear. There isChar-
lie Chester thinks you a perfect pattern ‘of
goodness; and as he touched glasses with
you last evening at Mrs. Reardon’s, and you
stood up and drank together, my heart aehed;
not so much for you as for him, knowing that
he has not the selfeommand which you have
and that he loves to look upon the wine
when it sparkles in the cup.” -
“Well, well, Lita, perhaps you are right—
I never looked at it in that way before,” re-
plied Fred, while his countenance wore a
thoughtful expression. “ But who, in the
name of common-sense, (and now the young
man smiled,)would have expected that my lit-
tle fashionable, butterfly sister ever found a
moment for such thoughts as these,what with
her ribbons, roses and laces ? Seriously, Lita
I did not give you credit for being so much of
a woman.”
“Thank you for the compliment, Fred.—
.But now promise me; I shall not be happy
until you do. I have no fears for your per-
sonal safety in this matter—though I doubt
your moralright to indulge in a 'social glass,
merely because Mrs. Grundy smiles upon the
custom—but I have fears for Charlie Chester,
seeing with what a relish he drains his glass
to the very drags. Promise me, Fred; come,
do this, if you love me ;” and Lita Ross laid
her hand beseechingly upon her brother’sr
head. '
“Well, Lita, this is something of a sacrifice
to ask of me. Why, I shall make myself very
conspicuous by refusing a social glass. But
I don’t know but I’ll do it, if you’ll make a
corresponding sacrifice. I ddn’t care to be
immolated upon the altar alone.”
“Name, it Fred, and if it is in my power
I’ll do it willingly, gladly ;” and Lita’s soft,
brown eyes danced with delight.
“Well, then, sis, I’ll promise this thing if
you will do what I am about to ask you. _ I
declare, I have scarcely the heart to, you look
so pretty in that blue silk dress, with its lace
trimmings, and your ear-rings, pin and brace-
lets, of those tiny pearls; but you must give
them up if ,I comply with your reques .”
“I will, Fred—I will.”
“ And wear a drab dress without orna-
ments ‘2” p ,
“Yes, Fred." ‘ ‘
“Next Thursday night make your first up.
penitence at Mrs. Thurston’s. Remember,
you will be subjected to many remarks, and
besides will look very plain by the side of
your showily-dressed companions.”
“I promise, Fred, in return that you will
then and there comply with my request.”
“ Your hand, sis. And now remember. as
long as you will‘wear drab, and that without
ornaments, I will refuse a fashionable glass.
But you do not know what a sacrifice you
are making. . I should not be surprised were
you to retract any day."
“Well Fred', we shall see, And now a
kiss, as a seal of our contract ;” and Lita.
threw her arms about her brother's neck, and
'covered his forehead, brow and lips with a
shower of kisses, and glided sway through
the hall, up' the long, polished oakeu stair-
way to her own chamber, and seating herself
she bowed her head upon the table and ejac-
ulated: ,
“Thank God, Charlie Chester may yet be
saved !” And the tears rained down over her
fair face, and when she looked up there was
a subdued, tender light in her eye never there
before. .
And this was Lita Ross, the pet plaything
of the family—the sparkling fashionable
belle of the season—the coquette,so account
ed. But there was in her heart a leaf as yet
unread by any eye save that of her Maker,
and on it was inscribed herlove for her child-
hood’s playmate, Charlie Chester.
“Well, now, who’d have dreamed it ?” Fred
exclaimed, as soon as he found himself alone.
“ I thought I had touched her dearest idol,
and that she could no more deny herself than
she could give up her right hand. But she’ll
do it; I saw it in her eye. Faith, I never
was so proud of her in my life! In look-
ed upon her as a mere chit of a girl; but all
at once she stands before me a noble, self-sac-
riflcing woman! And she’s right about
Charlie Chester, for, now I think of it, he is
in danger of being drawn into the wirlpool of
dissipation! Strange I’ve not thought of it
before. - I used to fancy they had quite a par-
. tiality for each other; but they’ve outgrown
it, I reckon." _
How we pride ourselves upon our discern-
ment, and yet how widely do our conclusions
oftentimes wander ii'om the truth!
Thursday evening came, and Frederic
Ross sat in the drawing-room, waiting the
appearance of Lita. There was a light, rust-
ling step, and she stood before him, with her
soft brown hair drawn smoothly irom her
brow. and confined plainly at the back of
her pretty head, and amid its glossy abund-
ance were a few sprays of heliotrope; her
dress was ofdrabsilk, withslowcorsage and
short sleeves, relieved, by a fall of plain but
rich white blonde, while her tiny foot, with
its dainty satin slipper of the same shade of
the dress, lay coquettishly half hidden in the
thick rich carpet.
“Come, Fred; I am ready,” she exclaimed
“Am I presentable?”
“ Why, Lita. love !" Here he paused.—
Admiration was written on every feature of
his Speaking face; but he adroitly changed
the expression, and concluded with—“Yes,
Lita presentable perhaps; but one would
take you to be at least twenty~five, instead of
nineteen. Faith, I’d no idea it could alter
you so much! Come, there’s an hour yet;
run and put on that rose-colored crepe, and
take the fastenings from your hair, and let it
fall in curls about your shoulders. I hate to
see you, my little sis, looking so prim.—
Thcre’s an hour yet, and Bell will assist you.
Do it, now, to please me; there’s a good girl.”
Lita’s cheeks burned crimson, and her eyes
filled with tears. To think that Fred, her
own brother, should tell her “she looked
twenty-five,” and “prim” at that! What
would Charlie Chester think of her ? For a
moment the temptation was strong upon her.
But she did not yield, for she saw in her
mind’s eye Charlie Chester with the wine-
cup at his lips; she heard his mother’s voice
saying, “Charlie, Charlie, enter not into temp-
tation!” as plainly as when she heard her
whisper it in his car as he turned from his
cottage home a few weeks previous. It was
those words and the look of gentle sorrow
that filled the mother’s eyes with tears, that
first amused Lita’s fears in regard to Charlie,
and ever since that time she had watched him
closely; she had learned to know that his feet
had taken hold on “ slippery places,” and in
her solicitude she had long been , devising
some way in which she might benefit him
without her agency being suspected. She
did not care to betray her intesest in him, as
he had avoided her studiously for more than
a year; and besides, she feared to wound him
by forcing upon him the thought that she im-
agined him incapable of self-control. But
now she had devised a way in which either
of these contingencies could be avoided.—
And having obtained her brother’s consent,
should she yield it up simply to gratify her
love for dress and admiration ?” No, no, she
would not--she could not. More than that
she dared not do it. Laying her hand in its
tiny kid glove, upon her brother’s shoulder,
she said :
“Brother Fred, I shall go as I am, though
I would gladly consult your taste and my
own by exchanging this sombre dress for the
rose-colored crepe, but it would not be right;
I should despise myself. I am sorry you are
going to be mortified at my appearance. I
did not think before I came below, that I
looked so old and prim ; but of course I do,
as you say so.” .
“Never mind, sis; I’m proud of you let you
look as you will. I should not have loved
you half as well had you weakly yielded to
my request. And now run and get your hat
and cloak, for the carriage waits at the door.”
Had my readers looked closely into the
eye of Frederic Ross, they would have seen
something closely resembling a tear glittering
upon his dark lashes, which lie hurriedly
wiped away upon his delicately-perfumed
handkerchief as Lita turned from him. And
Lita thought he had never looked so loving-
ly upon her as he did when he handed her so
tenderly into the carriage; and she was quite
sure that his bearing was more than usually
proud as he led her to the farther end of the
crowded reception-room, to present her .to
Mrs. Thurston, the lady of the house.
“ Lita Ross, as I live 1” cried an imperious
beauty, as she tossed her stately head. “ I
wonder what new freak has taken possession
of her ‘2”
“O, shelikm to render herself conspicuous,”
replied another lady, caressiugly toying with
one of her long golden curls. “ See how all
eyes follow her. I should not care to be in
her place. She looks like a Quakercss mat-
ron of thirty or thirty-five. You’ll stand
quite a chance of reigning belle to-nightmow
that she has hidden her beauty under a cloud
of drab.” -
Miss Milford, the young lady addressed,
coloreda little at the doubtful compliment,
and gathering up her pale Mile satin dress,
sailed statelily away.
“Miss Ross,” said Mrs. Thurston, bending
her gentle face near to Lita’s, “will you give
me a key to the mystery that so sorely puz-
zles my guests, viz., the plainness of your
dress to-night l"
“I cannot at present. Mrs. Thurston,” re-
plied Lita; “ but at some future time I may.
I hope you do not think I have done anything
improper? I have. a motive which you
would approve of, if I were at liberty to name
it ;” and Lita stood blushing through her
smiles at the inquiring face of the lady.
“0, no, Miss Ross, nothing improper; but
it seems so different fi'om your own girlish
self, that it causes speculation in the minds
of many. But do not let it trouble you. I
think it very becoming to you, this drab dress
with its white bloude trimmings; in short, I
never saw you looking so lovely as to—uight,
though not quite so brilliant as is your wont.”
“ 0, Mrs. Thurston, you do not really mean
it! I am sure I am looking very plain.—
Brother Fred said before we left home, I
looked twenty-five, and so very prim; and I
have felt as though it were true, all the even-
ing.' It must be your partiality for me, my
dear Mrs. Thurston, indeed it must.” I '
“ Not at all, Lita. I am quite sincere in
my opinion; and I have heard others say the
same.”
" Lita Ross is Lita Ross, dress her as you
may,” saida light-hearted girl, as she stood
talking with her companion. “Just see her,
Harry, as she stands there with the light
falling around her soft drab dress; but she
looks prettier to—night than ever,” continued
the unselfish girl. “Do look, Harry l”
“Yes, Lizzie, there are but few faces, like
Lita Boss’s prettier without adommcnts than
with. - I know of but one other in this whole
.assembly;” and the little hand of Lizzie was
pressed tenderly by the young man, while a
soft blush stole over the fair brow of sweet-
tempered Lizzie Gray, as they mingled with
the crowd. .
The supper-saloon was thrown open, and
the tables, laid with silver, and cut glass,
supporting all the choice luxuries of the sea-
son, presented a dazzling spectacle, under the
multitude of gas jets from the rich burners,
while the long, polished side-boards were
supplied with the choicest of wines, reflect-
ing many a prismatic color.
“MissRoss, what can I help you to i?" que-
ried the gentleman who had escorted Lita to
the table.
> But for a moment Lita was quite oblivious.
She was thinking of her brother’s prorm'ae,
and wondering what effect it would have up-
on Charlie Chester.
‘ glass.’
The ladies bad withdrawn from the supper-
room, but still man,- nfihc gentlemen linger-
ed, or returned after ha ving escorted their fair
companions from the saloon.
“Fred—Fred Ems; here, take this seat by -
inc, and while We s~ip our wine, we will have
a chat." g - '
“\Voll, Frank, I’ve. no objection to the chat!
but the wine I'must refuse.“ .
“ Fred Ross a temperance man—signed the
pledge ! Three cheers for Frerl Ross l”
Charlie Chester held in his hand his second
glass, and just as he was about to drain its
contents the words of Frank Leland fell up-
on his car. ’ He turned pale, placed his glass
upon the table, and stood looking upon Fred-
eric Ross, who sat smiling cumposedly upon
his boisterous companions.
“Yes, a temperance man, if you like it.—
I’vc signed a pledge, too, and its useless to
urge me more, for I‘m bound to keep it.”
Lita Ross had stationed herself near the
folding-door, and not only had she seen all
that had taken place at the side-board but
not a word had passed but had reached her
ear. . With a heart filled with happiness she
turned away, and at that moment would not
have exchanged for the richest dress around
her her own simple drab dress.
Several weeks were away, and yet Lita was
never in public in anything but drab.
“It is ridiculous in a child of her years,”
said alady, as Lita entered a. large dry goods
establishment—“perfectly ridiculous. I sup-
pose she thinks it will pass for eccentricity.
But it is not; it is downright folly. If she
was my girl, I’d shut her up in the house and
keep her upon bread and water, before I’d
see her making such a simpleton of herself,
Only see that drab bonnet, with its white
ruche and stringsand the drab silk dress and
cape—quite suitable for her grandmother!”
“ I have heard her called one of the finest
dressed ladies upon the street, to-day, by a
gentleman from Europe,” replied the clerk,
“and he expressed a desire to obtain an in-
troduction to her.” .
“Ah, indeed,” said the lady, tossing her
head. “ Show me some lilac moires."
“ Frederic Ross,” said Charlie Chester,
drawing Fred’s arm within his own, as they
left the crown who throngcd Mrs. Granvillc‘s
musical assemblies, “will you walk with me?
I’ve something to say—a few questions to
ask you,if you will not deem it iinperiincnt in
me.”
Frederic readily acceded to the request,
and no sooner were they alone, than Charlie
said:
“Perhaps you will think it strange, but I
am anxious to know why you so suddenly
left off your habit of taking a ‘fashionable
It alarmed me. I said whenever I
saw you turn from it, ‘ Is it possdilc that he
fears to trust himself? or what has wrought
this change in him ‘3’ And now will you not
give me the key that will unlock this mys-
tery ?” ,
“Yes, Charlie, I will,” was the ready reply
And then he proceeded to tell him the cir-
cumstances that led to this change in his
habits, omitting to relate that his nu me was
particularly mentioned as the one over whom
Lita especially feared the influence of her
brother’s example.
“ Your sister is an angel of goodness, Fi‘cd;
youmay Well be proud of and worship her.
If more ladies would take the stand she has
done, young men would have higher induce-
ments to break from fashionable follies; but
instead of that they smile upon any custom
which "dear, delightful Mrs. Grundy“ sanc-
tions, and give the cold shoulder to one who
has the independence to assert and carry out
his own honest sentiments. You, with your
wealth and position, are an exception; but I
should find it quite a different thing. And
yet I’m resolved to follow your example; and
whenever temptation is strong upon me, I
will look upon Litafinher dark drab dress
and call to mind the sacrifice she has made;
not so much from fear that her brother might
fall a prey to the wine~cup, but lest others
who have not so much self-control might
take encouragement from your example.”
After a few moments spent in discussing
this subject,the two friendspartcd; and when
Fred related their conversation to Lita, after,
expressing her satisfaction she stole away to
her chamber, as was her wont, to give full
vent to the gratitude of her heart, Man
earnest petition ascended to Heaven that
Charlie Chester~ might have strength impart-
ed to remain true to his vow.
“Well, Lita, so this rich, talcutcd,handsome
European, who sued so earnestly for this lit-
tle white hand has shared the same fate with
your many suitors. You’re an enigma, sis,
and I’m afraid if I do not exert my authority
you’ll never be married.”
“I am sure I shall not, Fred, unless my
heart goes with my ham ;” and Lita smiled a.
quiet smile as she looked up from her sewing
“Now don’t leave me with that sober face,
for I assure you I am very happy as I am.”
“I doubt it, sis,” was the laughing rejoin-
der, as Fred closed the door and went out
through the long ball, humming a snatch of
a sentimental song.
Two years had flown by and still Charlie
Chester had kept his vow inviolatc. Lita
had watched him narrowly, and every day in
her heart she thanked God that this was so;
and yet to have seen them, no one would
ever have imagined that they had the slight-
est interest in common.
Lita sat alone in the back parlor of her
liome,tliinking of the past, of the happy hours
she had spent with Charlie Chester when she
was a mere child wondering why be avoided
her so studiously of late. when she was
aroused by a low tap at the door, and liefiirc
her stood the object of her thoughts. With
heightened color and an embarrassed air she
welcomed him, wondering :it this unceremo-
nious call. A few moments of silence follow-
ed his cntrance,and tlienCliarlie Chester drew
his seat near her, and said:
“ Lita—Lita, my early playmate, my boy-
hood’s love, now that I know, and can trust
myself, will you entrust your life, your hap-
piness, to my keeping ‘3 Will you be my
wife? I owe to you all that I have, all that
I am. It was through your influence I
abandoned the wine-cup in time to save me
from an incbriate‘s grave. 0, Lita, what do
I not owe you? . And yet this very fact on-
courages me to ask for “V‘Il‘l . Hay, will you
trust llll‘. and become in“. Will‘?"
The small hand he lll‘l-l nestling more-con-
fidiiigly in his, the brown u) on iipiilli-il to his
face with so much of truthful love in them,
answered him; and sitting there, she told
him of all the long years his image had been
hidden in her heart—of her fears for his safe-
ty when she saw him with the wine-cup
pressed to his lips, and of her resplve to save
him, and the consequent adoption of her drab
dress. ’ ‘ ’ ' ‘
