CEMEN '1' ROOFING.
l‘ 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 :
1st—It is fire and water proof.
2d—From its great elasticity it is not inju-
riously affected by extremes of heat and cold.
3d—It is adapted, to all kinds of Roofs,
whether steep or flat, and is not in want of
constant repairs, as is the case with metal and
other roofs. ’
4th—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 Roofing can be seen by
calling on the subscriber, at South N orwalk.
All orders by letter will receive prompt at-
tention. D. F. HUNT, South Norwalk.
INSURANCE.
THE subscriber having taken the agency
of the New England Fire and Marine In-

The New England Fire and Marine Insu-
rance Company has been recently established

surplus of $6,295.00.

SUMMER.
BY CLARA AOUSTA.
The soft green feet of summer press the hills,
And Wake to bloom the spreading locust trees ;
The evening forest teems with whippoorwllls,
And spicy odors'load the southern breeze. ,
The sky, a dome of pulscless azure light,
Mellow and rich, bends o’er the pleasant land,
By day, illumincd with the red sun, bright.
. At’nlght,,by, the mild stars-n sister band.
The hush of evening comes in crimson gloom,
- The sun goes down within the amber west.
The daylight files to give the twilight room,
And labor sinks into the lap of rest.
on low, broad fields the fragrant clover bows
’Nenth weight of sweetness to the balmy breeze;
Thacrowroot, with its golden cup endows
The royal banquet of- the honey bees.
Streams flash Along the gross-enunclled wold
O’er pebbles, murmur-ing like the sea's pink shells;
And, on the bills, the fire-weed’s vivid gold
Queens it beside the modest asphodels.
In purple midnighte, fogs and vapors rise
From the smooth bosom of the distant bay;
And the wild zephyr rises, falls, and dies,
So sweet, you think you’re listening to a fay.
These nights are like fond dreams of happiness;
The stars hang in the sky like silver lamps;
And in array of pale white loveliness,
The fieecy clouds gleam like an army’s camps.
Reclining on some spot by love endeared,
Where the meek moonlight its pure shadow flings,
The silence is so deep-so strangely weird:-
Yon almost hear the breath of growing things.
The night is full of cool, refreshing sighs,
Winning the weary to a healthful sleep;
0 gentle moonlight! seal my drooping eyes!
And Morpheus, look me in thy quiet keep!

When I mean to Marry.
BY JOHN G. SAIE.
When do I mean to marry f—Wcll—
"l‘is idle to dispute with fate;
But if you choose to hear me tell,
Praylisten while I fix the date:
When daughters haste, with eager feet,
A mother’s daily toil to share;
(‘an make the puddings which they eat,
And mend the stockings which they wear ;
When maidens look upon a man
As in himself'what they would marry,
And not us army soldiers scan
A sutler or n. commissary ;
When gentle ladies who have got
The offer of a lover’s hand,
Consent to share his “earthly lot,"
And do not mean his lot of land;
When young mechanics are allowed
To find and wed the farmers‘ girls,
Who don’t expect to be endowed
With rubies, diamonds and pearls ;
When wives, in short, shall freely give
Their hearts and hauds‘to aid their spouses,
And live as they were wont to live
Within their sires’ one-story houses;
Then, madam,—lf1’m not too old——
Rejoiced to quit this lonely life,
l’ll brush my beaver, cease to scold,
And look about me for a wife!
-— ~~~~~~ ——..<.p..._
Something Childish but Common.
My life seems like a blighted hope—
A blossom by the wayside thrown;
The dreams that danced before my eye,
In brighter days, have flown,—
0n field and flower, on bill and stream,
A shadow rests without a gleam
Of pleasant sunshine gliding o‘er
The baths I’ve trod with joy before.
Has Nature changed? or is the gloom
That deepens o’er her scenes in me 9
A sadness of the heart that spreads
Its trailing mists o’er land and sea 9
Ah! not in Nature :—other eyes
See beauty in her sunny skies,
And mountain crags ; and in her notes
Of bird and brook wild music floats
To other ears as once to mine.
O’er me the change has passed—o’er me
A spell of bitterness is thrown,
Fair, glorious Nature, not o‘er thee.
There‘s music in thy gushing rills-
Bright is the sunshine on thy hills
And gentle slopes of flowery hue—-
Though not for me
I‘m blue—I’m blue! T * * * *.

THE WAR FEVER IN BALDINS-
VILLB.
BY ARTEMUS WARD.
As soon as I’d race-operated my physical
system, I went over to the village. The
peasantry was glad to see me. The school-
master said it was cheerin to see that gigan-
tic intelleck among ’eni onct more. That’s
what be called me. I like the schoolmaster,
and allcrs sends him tobacker when I'm off
on a travelin campane. Besides, he is a very
sensible man. Such men must be encour-
aged.
They don't git ncws very fast in Baldius-
ville, as nothing but a plank road runs in
there twice aweek, and that’s very much out
of repair. So my neighbors wasn’t much
posted up in regard to wars. Squire Baxter
said he’d voted the dimicratic ticket for go~
ing on forty year, and the war was a dam
black republican lie. Jo Stackpolc, who
kills hogs for the Squire, and has got power-
ful musslc in his arms, sed he’d bet $5 he
could lick the Crisis in a fair stand-up fight,
if he wouldn’t draw a knife on him. So it
went—sum was for war and sum was for
peace. The schoolmaster, however, said the
Slave Oligarky must cower at the feet of the
North are a year had flowed by, or pass over
his dead corpse. “ Esto perpetua l” he added
“and sine qua non, also !” sed I, sternly,
wishing to make an impression onto the vil-
lagers. “Requiescat in pace 1” sed the school°
master. “ Too troo, too tree,” I ansered,
.“it‘s a scanderlus fact l"
The newspapers got along at last, chock
full of war, and the patriotic fever fairly bust
out in Baldinsville. ’Squire Baxter said he
didn’t believe in coercion, not one of ’em,
and could prove by a file of Eagles ofLibcrty
in his garret that it was all n Whig lic, got
hp to raise the price of whiskey and destroy
our other liberties. But the old ’Squire got
Ipurty riley when he heard how the rebels
was cuttin’ up, and he said be reckoned he
skour up his old muskit and do a little
fitin for the Old Flag, which had allers bin
on the ticket he’d voted, and he was too old
to bolt now. The ’Squire is all right at
heart, but it takes him longer to fill his ven-
cnerable biler with steam than it used to
when he was young and frisky. As I pre-
viously informed you, I am Captin of the
Bnldinsville Company. I riz gradooally but
majestickally from Drummer’s Secretary to
my present position. But'I found the ranks
wasn’t full by no means, and commenced for
to recroot. Haven notist a gieneral desire
on the part of young men who are info the
Crisis to wear eppylifs, I determined to have
my company composed exclusively of om-
cers, everybody to rank as a Brigadeer-Giue
re]. The follerin was (among the various
quietlond which I put lb recreate:
Do you know a masked battery from a
hunk ofglngerbread? '
Do you know a eppylit from a piece of
chalk ? _
If I trust you with a real gun, how many
men of your own company do you speck you
can manage to kill duriii the war?
Have you ever heard of General Price, of
.Missouri, and can you avoidsimllar accidents
in case ofbattle ?
Have you ever had the measles, and if so,
I how many?
How air you now ?
Show me your tongue, &c., the. Sum of
I ‘ the questions was sarcustical.
The company filled up rapid, and last Sun-
day we went to the meetin-house in full uni-
form. I had a seris time gettin into my mil-
itary harness, as it wasbuilt; for me many
years before; but I finallygot inside of it,
tho’ it fitted meputty clost. ' Howsever,onc’t
in, I look’t fine—in fact, nw-inspiring. “Do
you know me, Mrs. Ward ?” sed I, walkin
into the kitchen.
“Know you, you old fool? Of course I
do.” ' /
I saw at onct that she did.
I started for the meetin-house, and I’m
afraid I tried to walk too strate, for I cum
very near falling over backwards; and in at-
tempting to recover myself, my sword got
mixed up with legs, and I fell in among a
choice collection of young ladies, who was
standing near the church door a seein the so-
ger boys come up. My cockt but fell Off and
somhow my coat tales got twisted round my
neck. The young ladies put their handker-
chief to their mouths and remarked. “Te he,”
while my ancient friend, Sary Peasley, bust
out into a loud larf. She exercised her
mouth so vilently that her new false teeth
fell out onto the ground.
“Miss Peasely,” sed I, gettin up and dust
in myself, “you must be more care
ful with them store teeth of yourn, or you’ll
have to gum it agin !"
Methinks I had her.
I’d bin to work hard all the week, and I
felt rather snoozy. I’m afraid I did git half
asleep, for on hearin the minister ask, "Why
was man made to mourn ?" I sed, “I give it
up,” having a vague idea that it was a conun-
drum. It was a unfortiuit remark, for the
whole meetin house looked at me with min-
gled surprise and indignation. I was about
risin to a point of order, when: it suddenly
occurred to me whare I was, and I kept my
seat, blushing like the red, red rose—so to
speak.
The next mornin I rose with the lark. (I
don’t sleep with the lurk, tho’. A goak.)
My little dawter was execootin ballads, ac-
companying liersrlf with the hand-orgin, and
she wisht me to linger and hear her sing:
“Hark I hear 8. angel singing, 3. angel now is
onto the wing.”
“Let him fly, my child l" set] I, a bucklin
on my armor, “I must forth to my Biz."
We air progressing pretty well with ‘our
drill. As all air commandin offisers, there
ain’t no jealousy, and as we air all exceedin
smart, it ain’t wuth while to try to outstrip
each other, The idee of a company com-
pased excloosively of commanders-in-chiefs,
orriggernated, I spose I skurcely need say, in
these brnne. Considered as a idee, I flatter
myself it is putty hefty. We’ve got all the
tackticks at our tongs’ ends, but what we
partickly excel in is restin muskits. We can
rest, muskets with anybody.
Our corpse will do its duty. We go tothe
aid of Columby—we fight for the stars.
We‘ll be chopt into sassige meat before
we’ll exhibit our coat-tales to the foe. '
We’ll fight till there’s nothing left of us
but our little toes, and even they slial defi-
antly wriggle. Ever of thee. A. WARD.
