GEMEN T 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,
constant repairs, as is the case with metal and
other roofs. ‘
4th—,-The 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 desideratum 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 Rcofing can be seen by
calling on the subscriber, at South N orwalk.
All orders b ' letter will receive prompt at-
tention. . F. HUNT, South Norwalk.

Ripe Apples and Ripe Hearts.
On the trees in yonder orchard,
Peeping out amid the leaves,
Hang a wealth of ruddy apples,
Golden as the harvest sheaves ;
Hanging like a vivid picture
In the framework Nature weaves.
V‘“u\~~~«
They are round. and full, and glossy,
With their cheeks of crimson gold;
They are Juicy, ripe and mellow,
Half their sweetness is not told,
Where we read of golden apples,
In the Bible days of old.
They have hung since their first forming,
Bufi’eted the wind and rain,
Shivered in the chilly weather“
Till the sunlight came again;
They have borne the best of summer.
Seen its brightness wax and warm.
They are waiting to be garnered,
Growing riper day by day; .
When the frost of autumn cometh, . '
One by one they'll drop away,
And new trees shall sprout and flourish,
From the place of their- decay. .
How our hearts are like these apples,
Growing larger every hour,
All thro‘ life’s hot, restless summer,
Gaining knowledge, truth and power,
If we keep them in the sunlight,
As we would atreasured flower.
Bufi‘eting the chilling tempests,
Mot at every turn of life,
Braving countless cares and trials,
With which every day is rife;
Growing riper, sweeter, rarer,
Growing better in the strife.
Showing forth new beauties daily.
Till the chilly autumn-time,
Cometh with its frosty fingers,
And its sad and mournful chime,
Touching chords upon our life-strings
That with God and heaven rhyme.
When the frost of age is gath’ring,
One by one we'll fall away ;
And our ripe hearts shall fall with us
To our lowly house of clay;
But a purer form shall spring up
From the place of their decay,

“ ‘ ' In...” “w
Col. Burnham, the polite and popular.
Mayor’s Marshal—and a more prompt and
the position-has some queer cases brought.
before him. Among those presentingthem-
selves to-day to prefer com'plaints,was a well
known commandant of one of our city milita-
ry regiments—a stern and unbending disciplio
narian,who believes the maintenance of one’s
rights should be, under all circumstances, a
paramount and ruling principle. Accompa- ‘
nying him were two ladies—his wife and a
handsome young niece. Following them
were a policeman and a roughly clad man
of middle age, carryinga whip, in his hand.
Col.
wife and niece took seats in a Broadway om-
nibus to ride to South Ferry. He passed to
the driver a ten cent piece and two fivepcn-
ces to pay their fares. The driver passed
back no change, and on his demanding two
cents, the former declared he had paid him
only eighteen cents. He cxpostulated—
threatened. Expostulations and threats were
of no avail. Seeing a policeman, he had the
driver arrested.
“ There the miserable scamp is,” wound
up the colonel,pointing at the arrested Jehu,
who, in the assumption of innocent looks,
might have sat for the portrait of Aristides.
“ And there is a miserable miser, who has
brought me here for a paltry two cents," res-
ponded the unabashed driver.
“ You confess, then, withholding two
cents,” said Col. Burnham.
“ No, sir; the man only gave me three
fares, I would swear to it.”
“ I would swear I gave you twenty cents,”
rejoined the complaining colonel. .
“ My oath is as good as yours,” quickly re-
sponded the driver.
“ Here is a Bible, we will see,” said the
marshal.
Kissing the cover of the sacred volume,the
complainant reiterated his accusation under
oath. ’The Bible was presented to the dri-
ver, who kissed it.
“ Now, do you solemnly swear you re-
ceived only eighteen cents from this gentle-
man ?" asked Col Burnham. “ Remember
the penalty of perjury."
“ You have got me tight; I won’t swear
false,” responded the driver, a little humilia-
ted now in his manner, “the man did give
me twenty cents”,
“ What is your name ll” asked the Marshal.
“ William Bloodgood."
“ Your license is revoked.”
“ But let me explain; I have to"—
‘ “ I pill listen to no explanations.”
“Can’t I say a word; I have awife and
seven children depending"— .
“ I will listen to nothing," said Col. Bum-
ham, “ a man who Would steal two cents
would steal two hundred dollars if he had a
chance."
“Perhaps the man will be honest in fu-
ture," beseechingly uttered the niece.
“ And sure I will,” said the driver, “for
my wife and children's sake I will; here are
the two cents."
“ It was not the money I wanted,” said the
pained colonel. “ I wish to give you and all
dishonest drivers a lesson.”
Col. Bumham and the complainant whis-
pered together a few seconds. The marshal
told the driver he would not take away his
license. The driver was completely hum.
bled. Down his brawny cheeks rolled big
tear drops. It was with difficulty he could
express his gratitude for the leniency shown
him. .As he left he bowed gratefully to the
young lady to whose intercession be evident-
ly attributed his restoration to the place from
which he had been a few minutes before de-
posed. ‘
A few such energetic men as the complai-
nant in the above case, aided by our present
prompt city marshal, would bring offenders
to speedy justice and effectually stop the
manifold swindles every day practiced with
impunity in our nridst.-— World.

There was a shrewd robber somewhere.—
The farm houses were robbed, shops were
robbed ; the fills at the bars at the way side
inns were robbed ; the people had their
pockets picked All this happened in a re-
gion of country between Sidney and Low-
stone-hnot a field of vast extent—and yet the
robber or robbers could not be found. Offi-
cers had searched in every direction, and sev-
eral suspicious individuals had been appre-
hended, butthe real culprit still remained
at large.
One day the mail was robbed, and on the
next a man had his pocket picked of two
hundred pounds, while riding in the stage
coach—for my narrative dates back to the
old coaching days. .
The money had been carried in his breas
pocket, and he knew that it was stolen from
him while he was enjoying a bit of a doze
on the road.
I had been confined to my house by a se-
vere cold for several days, and was not fit to
go out now; but as this matter was becom-
ing so serious, I felt it my duty to be on the
move, and accordingly I fortified myself with
flannel, and set forth.
I had hadno settled plan in my mind, for
I had not yet been on the road, and was not
thoroughly “posted up.” '
A ride of five miles brought me to Sidney,
and thence I meant to take a coach to Low-
stone where Sam Stickney—one of the
shrewdest of men—lived. Stickney had al-
ready been on the search and I wished to
consult him before making any movement.
I reached Sidney at half past five in the
- morning, and the coach left at six. Low-
stone was sixty miles distantso II had a gobd
ride before me. During the early part of the
day, I rode upon the box with the driver,and
from him I gained considerable information
J touching the various robberies that had been
committed. He was forced to admit that
several persons had been robbed in his stage,
though he declared that he could not see in-
to it, and had not the most remote idea of
who the robber might be. ‘
We reached Bonniville at noon, where we
stopped to dine, and when we left the place
I was the only passenger. At the distance
of twelve miles at a little village called Cow-
thorne’, we stopped to change horses, and
here another passenger got in. I had been
obcupying the front seat, as that happenedto
be a little wider than the others, and gave
.me a better opportunity for laying dowir;
and when the new comer entered he took
the back seat. He was a young man” I jud-
ged, and not very fall of stature, but so com-
pletely muffled up was he in shawls and muf-
fiers, that his size of frame was not so easily
determined. ' ,
He was very pale, and coughed very bad-
ly ; and I at once made up my mind thatihe
told his story. He and his ;._was far less fit to travel than I‘ was. After
we had got fairly on our way, I remarked
that this was the first time I had ventured
out for quite a number of days. He looked
at me out of a pair of dark bright eyes, and
when he seemed to have determined what
manner of man I was, he said :
“I have something worse than a cold, sir;"
he broke into a fit of coughing which lasted
a minute or so, and then added—“It won’t
be a great while before I shall take my last
ride.”
. Again he was seized with a spasm of
coughing, and when he recovered, he added,
“The disease is eating me up, and shaking
me to pieces at the same time.”
He further stated that he had started on a
tour for his health, but that he had given it
up, and was now on his way home, which
place he was anxious to reach as soon as
possible. Another paroxism seized him, and
he intimated that he was unable to converse,
as the effort brought on his cough. 1 had
noticed this, and made up my mind to trou-
ble him no more even before he had given
me the hint.
After this he drew his outer shawl closely
about his neck, and after having secured an
easy posture, he closed his eyes, and I was
not long in following his example.
Toward the middle of the afternoon, the
coach stopped at a small village where we
changed horses again, and where four pas-
sengers got in. This broke up the arrange-
ment of my friend and self for rest, ashe had
to take one of the strangers on his seatwhilel
took another on mine, the other two occupy:
ing the middle seat. The new comers soon
broached the subject of the robberies which
had been committed in that region, and I lis-
tened to gain information, if possible; but
they knew no more than any one else. They
had heard all about it, and were inflated with
wonder.
One—an old farmer—asked me if I knew
anything of the robber. I told him that I
knew but little of the affair in any way, hav-
ing been sick and unable to be out among
folks. Then he asked my consumptive friend
if he knew anything about it. the latter raised
his head from its reclining petition, and was
on the point of answering, when we heard
our driver, in abrupt tones, ordering some
one to get out of the road. Instinctively
put my head out of the window to see what
the trouble was, and my eye was just quick
enough to detect a load of fagots in time to
dodge back in to avoid them. Thoroad was
quite narrow at this point, and as the fagots
were loaded very widely,it was impossible for
the driver to wholly avoid them, and the side
of the coach was swept by them quite smart-
ly. I escaped without being touched, but
not so with my friend, I heard an exclama-
tion—I thought rather a profane one—from
his lips, and on looking toward him I saw
that the fagots had struck him over the left
eye making quite a mark. This incident
turned the conversation from the subject of
the robberies, and it was not again alluded to.
We reached Lowstone shortly after dark,
and I went at once to the residence of Mr.
Stickney, whom I found at home. He had
been out all day, and made all sorts of efforts
to obtain some clue to the perpetrators of
the robberies that were being committed, but
without effect.
He said that he could learn nothing on
which to hang suspicion. Two shops had
been robbed in his town, but he could gain
no clue to the perpetrators We consulted
together, and finally concluded to go in the
morning and see another detéctive officer
named Gambilt, who resided about 12 miles
distant from the town of Orton.
This met the views of my host, and so we
left the matter for the night.
On the following morning'we were up ear-

ly, and as ,the coach Would take us directly
to his house, we chose that mode of convey-
ance, and repaired at a seasonable hour to
the tavern for that purpose. When we reach-
the inn we found the farmer who hsdbeen one
on“? fellow passengers the day before, step-
ping about in a high state of excitement.
He had been robbed of £800, and he was
sure it must have been done in the stage, for
he had slept with his pocket book under his
pillow. He had not thought to look into it
when he retired, but had found it empty in
the morning when he got up. He said the
wallet had been taken out of his pocket
and put back again—he knew it. ,As soon
as he saw me, he was very anxious that I
should be searched. Of course I allowed the
operation to be performed willingly. After
the excitement was alloyed, I asked the land-
lord where that pale young man was that
came in the coach, and was told that he went
away soon after the coach arrived.
My first aim was to satisfy myself that the
old man had been robbed in the coach and of
this he succeeded in convincing me.
After this my suspicion rested on the con-
sumptive man, and I believed if I could find
him I should find the rogue. So I bade the
landlord to keep a sharp lookout, and also
spoke to the driver who had brought me to
Sidney, and who was now on the point of re-
taming; requesting him if he saw anything
of the pale-faced man, to see that he was sec
cured. The suspicious individual had only
remained, at the inn a very few minutes on
the previous evening,and had then gone away
in a gig which had come for him, but no one
could tell what direction he took.
The coach for Orton soon came to the door
and Stickney and myself took our seats in-
side,the farmer having determined to remain
where he was till he heard something about
the money. There were two other passen-
gers inside, and two or three outside, but
they were strangers to me. We had gone
two or three miles, when the driver pulled
up before a small farm house, where a wo-
man and a trunk were waiting by a garden
gate. The lady was handed into the coach
and took a seat facing me, and as she turned
to give the driver some directions concerning
the baggage, she threw her veil on her bon-
net. She was pretty—very pretty—with ro-
sy cheeks and sparkling eyes. Her hair
hung in glossy brown ringlets over her neck
and was a type of‘ beauty in itself. I looked
at those rosy cheeks, and again and again
into her dark lustrous eyes. My gaze was
fixed on the latter point, when she caught
my eye and dropped her veil. At first I felt
alittle ashamed at having been caught star-
ing at her so boldly; but as the face was
hidden from sight, and I had time for reflec-
tion, it struck me that I had seen those fea-
tures before.
Here was a study for me, and I was buried
in it at once.
Where had I seen that face? I whispered
to Stickney and asked him if‘ he. had «eyei-
seen that face before. He joked me about
being so curious about a pretty face. ’
We stopped at a place called Turner’s
mills, in the edge of Orton, to change mails,
and here I jumped out to see the postmaster,
who was an old friend of mine—and as I
was returning to the coach, the thought
struck me to go and look at the trunk which
had been last put on, and see if there was
any name on it. It was marked with the
simple initials “A. M." So that was all I
gained from that source. As I came to the
coach I approached it from behind, and as I
cast my eyes up, I found that the beauty had
her veil raised and was looking in at the post
office, as though anxious that the mail
would come that we might be off. The'ex-
pression of anxiety detracted somewhat from
her beauty, and as I looked upon her now,
seeing her in a different light, I was struck
with a snake-like cast that was perceptible
all over her features. I was on the point of
withdrawing my gaze lest she should catch
me the second time, when a slight motion of
the head threw her curls over her temple,
and I saw a faint hue something like a vein
over her left eye. It was a mark—a livid
scratch—where something had struck her;
it might have been the stroke of a whip.—
But—no; I quickly glided back behind the
coach, and there I reflected. Such a mark
as that could be made by a fagot.
When I returned to my seat in the coach
the fair passenger's veil was down again.—
Could it be possible that my suspicions were
correct, and that chance had thrown in my
way the solution of the problem that had
vexed my deputies so much? Yes, I was
sure of it; and the more I compared the two
faces in my mind, the more I saw the re-
resemblance. Either these checks had been
painted red to-day, or they were painted
\vhite yesterday. The eyes were the same,
the contour the same, and that brow with
its telling mark not to be mistaken.
We stopped at the inn at Orton.
The driver announced that they would
stop there fifteen or twenty minutes to change
horses and wait for the mail, and informed
the passengers that they would find accom-
modations at the house if they chose to go
in.
‘ The lady at first did not go in, but at
length she got out and went into the hotel.
I determined now to find out who she was.
I left my deputy at the door of the room
she entered, with instructions to rush in, in
case he should hear anything that warranted
his intrusion.
On going into the apartment, I found the
beauty sitting by the window, gazing out be-
tween the blinds. She started rrp as I enter-
ed, and let her veil fall. ,
“I thought this was a private room, sir,”
she said. Her voice trembled and sounded
unnatural.
"That may be," I returned, "but that does
not exclude those who have business. I came
to see you."
There was a momentary struggle, and then
she appeared as calm as could be.
“Who are you ‘3” she asked.
“An ofilcer from Bow street,” I replied,
“I want to know who you are '2”
“Stop—one moment," sfie said; and asshe
spoke she carried her hand beneath her
cloak. It was quickly withdrawn, and in
it a pistol, but she had grasped a portion of
her dress with it, and ere she could clear it I
sprung upon her and seized her by the arm.
But it was her no longer. There was more
muscle in that slight body than I bargained
for l However, my man popped in, the mo-
ment he heard the scuffle and the beauty was
soon secured. The glossy brown ringlets
fell off during the scuffle and some of the
paint was removed from the cheeks.
As soon‘ as the prisoner was secured, I had ,
1
his trunk taken off and brought in, and upon 5
overhauling its contents, we found disguises
of all sorts, and quiteasum of money, besides
jewelry of much value.
I made him assume a proper male attire,
and when he stood forth in propia persona,
I found that he had not only used red paint
for the blushing beauty of to-day, but that he
had applied a more eadaverous coloring mat-
ter for the consumptive individual of yester-
day. As he stood now he was a lithe-built,
intelligent looking youth of not more than
twenty-five; but with a cold-blooded ex-
pression on his face, and an evil look in his
eyes. '
We carried him back to Lowstone, where
we found the money of the old farmer upon
him, besides other money which had been
lost by difi‘erent individuals.
At first he told strange stories of himself,
but when he knew that the worst must come
he confessed the whole. He was from Lon-
don and had come into the country on pur-
pose to rob. He had two confederates with
him,wlro had helped him from place to place.
One of them had helped him away from the
inn on the night before, and the other had
brought him and set him down at the farm-
er's gate that morning.
We made a search for these confederates,
but they had got wind of their principal’s
arrest, and Were not to be found.
However, we got the chief sinner, and had
broken up the game.
After he had been found guilty and sen-
tenced, he seemed to enjoy himself hugely in
telling how he had deceived the good people
of the country. Now he would turn himself
again in the old woman who had given the
driver so much trouble about her bandbox.
Then again he would be the meek browed
minister, who had distributed tracts to the
passengers, and picked their pockets while
they read. Then he would draw himself up
into the little hunch-backed old man, who
had been lifted into and out of the coach, and
rubbed his helpers while they fixed his
crutches for him. It was funny—very—and
perhaps we might never have caught him
had it not been for the accident of the fagot.
That was not so funny for him ; and I
doubt whether he found much fun inwork-
ing at our hard stone—hammering early and
late—with an inexorable master over to spur
himup when he lagged.

that the reason of the low esteem m which

Tim PRODIGAL’S RETURN—The Little

AN ASTRONOMICAL SueoEsTION.—It is
whispered that the reason why the Douglas

A LEG-AL Excess—Those who complain
of the length of time Mr. Douglas has been

consider the shortness of his legs. Mr. Benton
long since declared he could never be Presi-

WA Baltimore correspondent of the
New Orleans Picayune states that Thomas
Winans, Esq., proprietor and inventor of
Winans new steamer, designs at an early
period building another vessel on the same
plan, on a much larger scale. She will be
between five and six hundred feet long, pro.
portioned otherwise, to correspond. It is
confidently known by Mr. Winans'hnd some
of his special friends, that theexperimental
steamer now built has made thirty miles an
hour with case, on some of her private trial
trips, thus perfectly satisfying Mr. W. in re-
gard to speed. His great ambition is to cross
the Atlantic in five days, or less time, and
in anticipation of so glorious a triumph in
ocean steam-navigation, he is determined to
build another ship. She will be next in size
to the Great Eastern. Mr. Winans has set
his whole heart upon perfecting this enter-
prise, and being worth ten to twelve millions
of dollars, will spare no expense in so doing.
If no other benefit should result from it, he
considers he is doing good in being instru-
mental in giving employment to poor labor-
ers and deserving mechanics.

NONE or THEM Wouero.—According to
London Observer, the Atlantic Telegraph
Cable is not the only deep sea telegraph com-
munication that refuses to work. Tire Red
Sea telegraph is out of order; the Malta and
Cagliari line, of about 300 miles in length,
has long been interrupted. The line to Al-
giers has been abanddrrcd; the cable from
Malta to Corfu has gone the way of its
predecessors; that from Aden to Karachce
has contributed nothing for some time past to
the weekly dispatches Tire failure of all these
is attributed to want of knowledge of all the
qualities of the materials employed, and the
peculiar character of the electric fluid.
